1st: Giona

“Hawwo…een?”

(*She doesn't know what Halloween is, lol)

2nd: Guspane

“Mweerp! Me-Meweep! Mweerp, mweerp! Meeep! Meep-Meep Mwerrp!!”

(*Translation: “Butterfly! Delicious, scary! Candy! Disgusting food!!”)

3rd: Tsubasa Inin

“Halloween is such a fun event! Me, Owain, and all the adults of the village make sure to throw a village-wide event every Halloween for the children! Every adult dresses up while the group of children, usually led by Mumu and Nina, goes to every house for either a trick, an activity, or treat! Once they get to my place, the last place they'll visit, I come out dressed like a fairy, then tell them any story they want! Afterwards, I give them some candy, which is mostly made by Liam and Kina! I'm so glad for both of them! When it comes to my biggest fear, I'd have to say anything happening to the children of the village.”

4th: Dama Jinbia

“Ah, Halloween! Granny Tsu always personally asks for my help setting up our yearly celebration! Not only because for more manpower, but to also ask for Mumu and Nina's help leading the children throughout the night, as they allow all of the adults to participate without worrying about the children! All of the children just love those two!”

“Do I participate in the trick and treating? No, not really. Once we get done setting up, while Mumu and Nina play with the children to distract them, the adults all give me a big helping of sweets for compensation! I'm telling you, no one can beat Ms. Kina's apple taffy! It's always the best award that I look forward to every year!”

“What do I do for the rest of the night? I mainly just spend the rest of my night with Juin. By this point, Granny Tsu has her hands full telling the kids stories while the adults watch. I do the same for Juin, who always has this big smile on his face everytime I come. Seeing that has got to be my favorite part…”

“What’s my biggest fear? Zombies, definitely zombies. Hope they never come true. Just ew… Gross…”

5th: Mystigo Aellekage

“Halloween is a waste of time.”

6th: Alaric Benom

“Halloween? Yeah, I’ve celebrated it before. I remember one year when Perlone forced me to attend Reaon’s yearly festival, called “Festival of the Dead”, with her. Usually, I would just work at the tavern throughout the night, but it seems she talked with her father beforehand, and he wouldn’t let me work that night. Right before we went, she dressed me in this odd blue costume that had so much sparkling stuff on it, I could barely see myself in the mirror. The sparkling mask didn’t help either! However, apparently she did it so we could match, as she had a similar costume. The only difference being it was red and her mask, which was in the form of a butterfly.”

“How was the festival? Eh, the festival itself was pretty mediocre in my opinion. There were a small number of attractions, like fish the ball, throw the bag, knock down the cans, an endurance stand, and even an arm wrestling tournament. I played in all of them only to see Perlone’s smile, though I kind of regret letting the last person I faced in the arm wrestling contest win. I was afraid I might have brought too much attention to myself if I showed my actual strength. I will say though, it still gave the tavern a bit of a boost since talk of me, one of the bartenders, made it to the finals. At the end of the festival, me and Perlone ate something called ‘Funnel Cakes’, which were pretty good. All in all, it wasn’t the best moment of my life, but I enjoyed it.”

7th: Himon Koul

“Pfft-HA! Halloween, you say? I LOVE Halloween! Dressing up different creatures like mummies, vampires, ghosts, etc. just really gets the horse of kicking in my heart! It's also such a great time spent using my creativity for such costumes, mainly with my daughter, Mary. She's such a smart girl, growing up to be such a beautiful woman too… O-Oh! Jeez, would ya look at me riding out into my own imagination during a conversation, I really gotta work on that, har!”

8th: Liam Lier

“Halloween is one of the best moments of the year, all thanks to the coordination and leadership of Chief Owain and Chiefess Tsubasa! We've been doing this little yearly celebration for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I loved such festivities, and now that I'm an adult, I get to work behind the scenes in order to bring the same joy I felt to today's generations! As a teacher, I couldn't be any happier! The best part is seeing their smiles when I give them out all the homemade candy Kina and I made from scratch. We try our best to keep our supply varied, chocolate, taffy, corn syrup, lollipops, candy bread, you name it! It's always super fun making them, and allows me to practice my chef skills alongside my apothecary!”

“What costume am I planning on having this Halloween? Well, I'm actually dressing up as a beast, with my fiance, Alexandra, dressing up as a beautiful young woman, to reference a certain tail we both loved as children. Safe to say, though, one person will have to put it alot of work in their costume while the other barely has fo lift a finger, hehee!”

9th: Matchi Tehew

“It may come as a surprise to some, but I look forward to Halloween every year. My subjects within my kingdom of Jufuris usually hold numerous parties throughout the day. My subordinates all get a day off. It’s a great day to let my pets come out and…play, with little to no suspicion from the public. Not to mention, I’ve found it is very easy to explain minor disappearances here and there during the night… Once the night dies down, I always sit down to eat some Cazu Marzu.”

10th: Bacho Jusseo

“I never really celebrated Halloween myself, but I keep hearing about it from Munia, who gushes about her experiences as a child. Kind of cute to be honest with ya. If I had to choose what to be if I ever dressed up, I’d say your common trickster magician. It pairs well with my ability to switch things.”

“Huh? How does my ability work? Well, a magician always keeps his secrets, no? Either way, keeping people in suspense is the best part, just imagining catching people off guard or even scaring them just sends me! Some of them might even drop some of their candy! Hopefully some of it is Candy Corn, can’t get enough of that stuff. I wonder why Munia doesn’t like them…”

“What’s my biggest fear? Matchi Tehew, no question. Guy gives me the creeps just knowing he’s out there…”

(Honorable Mentions: Mumu and Nina were actually apart of the Top 10, but I felt they were more of an extension to Dama for their own responses.)
