I bet I'm not the only one who's glad that's over. [A giggle.]

And just in time for Thanksgiving, too! My first one. It smells really amazing in here already, too. Since we didn't have any turkeys, especially not any exploding—

[But she stops that train of thought, because she's just going to get more frantic and awkward. As usual.]

I'm really excited, though. I think it's important to have stuff like this. I mean, there's a lot to be thankful for. N-Not that we shouldn't be thankful every day! But maybe a special day for it is good, too.

It'll be my first Halloween here in a few weeks too. I know you're supposed to dress up and give out candy to little kids, but I don't really know much about it other than that. It doesn't seem very fun, just sitting in your house in a costume, I guess. I'm probably missing something, though.

Well, what things were they hunting?

private;

[uberboned]

Monsters, but that's a pretty broad term for "anything not human."

private;

[motioned]

But they stopped if it was nice, right?

[uberboned]

[She's greeted by awkward silence. Nice is kinda relative, but there have been monsters who didn't do all that much who were still ganked, as the saying goes.]

[motioned]

Oh my God!

Hunters have a way different moral compass than most people.

[Look, who's talking...]

private;

[motioned]

That doesn't make it okay!

private;

[uberboned]

Nope. But go figure humans and their weird hobbies. The good news is they seem to have toned it down a little bit since landing here.

[motioned]

I think everyone has weird hobbies, not just humans... But that's a good thing.

And it only took Canadian hospitality to break those mooks of years of "monster bad, shoot it" conditioning.

This place really does heal all wounds.

[motioned]

Yeah. I mean, you wouldn't think it at first because a bunch of bad things happen here, but... I don't think I'd really be the same person at all if I had never come here.

private;

[uberboned]

Me either, kiddo.

[He'd also be dead. Permanently.]

Have you ever thought about how weird it is? Like, of all the people in all the worlds, that it was us who were brought here?

private;

[uberboned]

I would, but then I think about destiny and that's a topic that makes me kinda want to throw up in my mouth a little. Bad experiences.

private;

[motioned]

I think I can get that pretty well, yeah. The destiny thing, I mean. It doesn't seem something a lot of people would like.
