[the feed clicks on and whAT THE FUCK is looking at you is that-- yes it’s someone wearing the masks that Resnik just warned everyone about. it’s impossible to tell who they are at first glance, so it’s a good thing numbers are attached to these broadcasts. at least until one of them speaks:]

Happy Halloween!

-- Happy Halloween! At least, we're assuming it's Halloween. And okay, the timing's kinda crap, but whatever. If the ship wants us to party, I'm going to party.

I dunno, Halloween was a big deal where I’m from. I don’t know what you guys are so freaked out about. We get shit in our lockers all the time.

I'm actually pretty relieved that the big shebang ending of our blackout were these bad boys. Masks are less weird than ID tattoos, that’s for sure. And freaking- custom fitted jumpsuits? Yeah. I’ll take the mask.

[Tate leans forward into the camera and- yeah that’s an eyeless sheep face right up in your grill, and his voice drops- it’s hard to tell if it’s supposed to be playful or scary or both.]

So get your trick or treats ready, Tranquility, we’re about to have a spooky time.

[Wichita’s going with playful, because she ends up laughing a little bit behind her mask, a muffled sound but a positive one, no less. She’s feeling pretty good, excited really, about the masks.. the idea of having Halloween here! most of the time the scary shit is out of their control, so this might actually be kinda fun. maybe. potentially.]

Oh, and hey team jailbait! Grab your masks and get your butts over here, if we’re really gonna have space Halloween, we’re gonna do it right. And I expect you all to participate.

[she leaves it vague, and intentionally so. let people think they’re just getting together to goof off and have some fun for a change, but really she does want to meet up with the ‘team’, new recruits and old maze members, to talk about some stuff before the next jump. this just seems like the easiest way to get their attention.]

[ooc: red is for Tate, orange is for Wichita.]

Trick or treats? Is Halloween where you eat candy and say ghost stories?

[this is very unfamiliar territory for me okay]

You've never been Halloweening?

[He shakes his head at the screen.]

Mmm-mm... and I go inside when it get dark out. 'Cus I don't like the dark.

Well, did you get a mask?

... Yeah... I got a mask, too.

But I don't like it very much—it looks sad.

You can come with us, but you'd have to wear your mask. You can't Trick or Treat without a costume.

I guess so... I can't be something else?

[wait a sec]

Is there a lots of people going?

Yeah, me and my friends.

Oh. Do you have a lots of friends? Almost all my friends are at home. But I found some new ones here, too.

They're all people I met up here.

Are they nice?

[MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Not-nice friends simply won't do, okay.]

They're really cool. It'll be tons of fun.

... Alright.

[Why not? There'll be lots of people there. He'll wear his suit like always.]

I wanna' go Halloweening!

[It'll be A-OK.]

I'll come get you when we're ready.

I can come find you. I know where places are—are your friends gonna be somewhere I can find them?

Yeah, we're gonna start on the third floor.
