[Gaara stares into his communicator, silent for a long moment; when he speaks, it’s quietly, his face set in determination.]

I need to return to my people; they may be endangered by the Akatsuki if I don’t.

I understand that something called the Core brought me here; and that the average person is unable to get back. But there has to be someone with a jutsu that could send me home.

I would be willing to pay handsomely for it.

['Sup Portians? It's that familiar up the nostrils shot while Yosuke squits down at the NV to make sure that it's on. Yep, cool. Recording. 'Cause you guys definitely don't want to miss this. It's super cool.]

Hi everyone. My name is Hanamura Yosuke if you're new and I wasn't your greeter. Feel free to ask me any questions you have, but more importantly, you should buy some pastry.

[Yep, he's totally serious about that. That's his serious face. Buy pastry, it's awesome!]

I deliver for the Funtom bakery, and I'm here to demonstrate to you how much better our pastry is than the other bakeries. For example, every pie we bring to you is thoroughly tested for acrobatic properties, you know? I'll show you.

[It turns out the NV has been mounted on...a bike helmet. Or so the shaky shot of a bike would lead you to believe. There are indeed pastry boxes stacked up in the basket. Yosuke mounts it, and kicks off. The roads here are a little bumpy, as if he's on some trail instead of the streets delivery bikes would usually stick to.]

[There's an obstacle course that's been carefully set up dead ahead. The camera shakes and shivers and the pastries are most likely jostled as Yosuke jumps over a log, does a figure eight, and starts up a big hill toward a small flags course. Except that somehow, something goes wrong. The camera seems to hiccough somehow, and the next shot is from the ground. The helmet has landed a few feet away from a stunned Yosuke, who is covered in cake icing and pie filling, and staring down at his hands in horror.]

[It takes him a second before he remembers the camera, and offers a shaky smile.]

A-as you can see, we always go the extra mile. Um. And the caramel apple pie is really good. I just tried some. You should...order before the holiday flavors are gone!

(OoC: Yosuke the friendly ghost is fading out for a canon update, guys. He'll be flickering noticeably in some replies, -fading out altogether during one at random- and trying not to freak out about it in front of potential customers. He'll be back in time for the holidays, and fully corporeal again!)

[Amy is seated somewhere, and she seems to have a small bag of candies with her.]

I don't quite understand why the vampire community is so up in arms about our portrayal in costume. To be honest, ever since my first Halloween here in the Port, I find that I feel more at ease, knowing I can blend in with everyone else.

[And remarks of "nice costume!" in a non-jeering way usually put her in a good mood.]

But if there is one thing I will agree on-- it is how sexualized vampires are. That, I do not understand at all.

[She takes one of her candies from her bag-- a cherry cordial-- and eats it. Looks like someone was lucky enough to snag one of the blood-flavored treats before the Sanguinarian Society got to them!]

Hallowe'en...

[She groans through gritted teeth, though she's smiling too. She does find it a little funny.]

The day when nobody takes magic seriously. I thought it was going to be different here - you know, 'cos most people are magic. I guess candy wins out though, right?

[There's a loud pop behind Phoebe, and something colourful showers out behind her. Phoebe's smile becomes more strained.]

Uh - Prue? If you're watching this - everything's fiiiiiiine. Fine. Just... just fine.

[This last bit she tries to filter away from Prue, though how successfully she manages that is debatable]

Do you guys go trick or treating here? If you do, come here to my place in the starter apartments. I kinda got... extra candy.

[There's another pop and more brightly coloured sweets erupt from a small clay bowl on Phoebe's coffee table. She swings the camera round to show the living room of her flat. The whole floor is covered in sweets. There are sweets on the table and sweets on the mantle piece. Sweets on the Book of Shadows. Phoebe grins sheepishly]

I hope you're hungry because it just keeps coming.
