[Tetra's sitting at a terminal, playing a few notes on her recently acquired Spirit Flute before looking at the screen.]

So, um... It's a Ruana month. And she can be pretty awful sometimes.

[A lot of the time but Tetra's not saying that where Ruana, Jason or Riki could hear.]

There's really no way to get ready for anything that happens here so just everyone should be careful, okay?

That bad huh?

[Welp, she was right.]

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Oh yeah. Last Halloween, my costume crushed me to death. That wasn't so bad though except when I came back to life, there was a gaping hole where my heart should have been that was filled in with an hourglass.

[....]

...Oh.

That bad then.

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Yeah, that bad.

So just be careful if you can, okay? We might not have a choice except to play a game with her but we should still try.

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

"Games?"

So she'll make us do things then.

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

That's what she calls them. Jason considers them experiments, I guess?

Yeah. The costumes crushing us was punishment for not collecting enough candy last year.

For Halloween.

[Games and experiments. Just like home. Splendid.]

Sounds like this month is going to suck.

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Pretty much, yeah. Sorry I can't give any better advice except pray maybe.

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Don't worry about me.

[She give what should be an optimistic smile. It's kind of grim though.]

Worry about yourself so you don't end up like last year.

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

I gotta worry about other people. A lot of the folks here don't have anyone else to worry about 'em. So I will.

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

I'm used to having no one worry about me.

...But thanks I guess.

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Then you're gonna be one of the people I worry about and check on.

[No, you don't have a choice.]

If you need me at all, call for Tetra, aye?

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[She's getting that feeling. She's getting used to it.]

Alright then. Call me Veronica.

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[That's the best way to deal with it.]

Nice t'meet ya Veronica!

[Video]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Of course, the circumstances could probably be better, eh?

[Video]

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

Oh yeah, they definitely could be.
