~Halloween Event~ Carnival! Fun Fair Fun Times!
On the evening of the twenty-second day of the tenth month, the chilly weather takes on a slightly different shroud: veiling itself in brighter starlight and clearer air and a crisp, pitch black cloak of darkness...lit up by streetlamps and bright, autumnal window displays, and carved vegetables as far as the eye can see.
It's not just Jack what makes a lantern this time of year, but courgettes and bird cages (birds not included) and jars and actual wrought iron lanterns. Candle light permeating the very air of the city, casting a warm glow on anyone who happens to draw close enough.
Here and there Extra parents tug their Extra children along in a hurried quest to find the perfect outfit or costume for this or that party, spooky or sweet or just plain excellent.
What's more is the long winding carnival snaking its way along the many winding streets of Taxon, hundreds of Extras all dressed up in outfits that some may find more disturbing than others: zombies, ghouls, old crones and Killer Klowns and white-masked beings, moaning and wheezing and giggling their way towards Central Square - but who knows where they're headed next.
Fun fair's in town, kids.

"What kinda monsters?" he asks, with an odd tone in his voice that suggests he might be looking for a challenge.

"Monkey bats," Glitch replies with some distaste. Damn aliens kept bringing the horrid beasties here. "Which are exactly what you're imagine. And...well, I try not to predict. The second you start making serious predictions is when they get ideas, that's my theory."

"Goddamn thought police or somethin'," he mutters at the idea that they harvest their ideas for experiments.
"How big are these monkey bats? Cuz if they're actually gorilla bats, it's a whole different ball o' wax."

"There's a couple in the zoo but those're harmless. Um. About an eight foot wingspan or so? But they've got claws and teeth, they work best in swarms."

"Then maybe we should start expectin' 'em to let us go home."
