Oi. Anyone who's been here longer than me. Everything around going to shit, the ghosts and buildings and dead fish-and the stupid costumes-s'it the same as all the other weird crap that happens here or is it something else? Never seen the whole goddamn place change before.  ...Better not be permanent. Fucking tattoos.

[have some impromptu strumming from a whimsical minstrel]

Stories say that this world has been through a lot. Care to hear an ol' minstrel's tales of yore?

[strayswordsman]

Eh? [...That almost looks like a really flamboyant pirate's outfit, so Zoro doesn't blink too hard at it. Plus, music, and Relevant Info.] If they've got anything to do with shit like this happening before, then yeah.

[sigh.] No appreciation for the arts, I tell ya. [a sad strum]

But where to start this ol' minstrel's, tale? Well for starts, this ain't the first time costumes have been bestowed upon us. Seems like it's a Halloween thing, and it's happened every year now.

[strayswordsman]

Every year...then it's temporary.

...What's 'Halloween'?

[rainofheaven]

Seems like it. How long might vary, but I'd give it about a week or so.

As for 'Halloween', the stories say it's a day full of fright and horror! [impromptu dramatic ominous strumming] A day filled with ghouls and ghosts, of tricks and curses!

...Good. [a firm nod] This shit is annoying. [Even if some other people's outfits are pretty hilarious...]

[strayswordsman]

[headtilt] Why the hell would there be a day like that?

[ video ]

[rainofheaven]

[a shrug] Beats me. But the stories seem ta be rooted to superstitions involvin' the dead.

[strayswordsman]

[A short silence.] ...Ah. That kind of thing. [He's frowning more clearly now, 'irritated' with a shade of 'troubled'.] No wonder there're ghosts.

[ video ]

[rainofheaven]

Probably ta help with the creepy atmosphere.

[noticing the expression] Ain't gonna bother ya, is it?

[ video ]

[strayswordsman]

[shortly] No. I'm not afraid of ghosts. [Still frowning.] The dead worth paying attention to don't just run around on one holiday a year.

[rainofheaven]

[just grinning that sly grin] Got a point but...how do ya know we don't have some livin' dead among us already?

[ video ]

[strayswordsman]

...Like what, zombies? [The prospect of living dead doesn't bother him much. Seeing as how they have a reanimated skeleton as their crew's musician. :|a] So what if we do.

[rainofheaven]

[ominous strumming as his voice takes on a deep, dramatic tone] Stories say zombies like to feast on the livin' flesh! Brains, they cry....braaaaaiiiiinnssss...
