[She appears on the network wearing a pair of white cat ears, brandishing a sort of princess wand, which she uses for emphasis as she talks]

Hey. Name's Miu, I'm an actress, and I'm here to tell you that if I see a single one of you wearing a spooky monster costume that ends up stuck in said costume and/or acting more and more like the monster come Halloween, I will beat you with this princess wand.

Don't do it. Stick to cute or easy costumes and stay away from those stupid ugly masks! I've seen enough movies to know that's a stupid idea and if you do it anyway I get the exclusive right to say 'I told you so!' super mockingly next month.

[She clears her throat and sits back] Now then, the important question:

Sexy angel, or sexy cat? I can't decide if I like the idea of having wings more, or a cute tail and ears.

[She looks between two generic costumes like it's the most important and confounding decision of her life.]

You know in some mythology angels are basically skyscraper sized abominations so you could be something you think is totally safe and then end up 100 foot tall and made up of eyes.

[She looks at the angel costume for a long moment.]

[blackwaterchild]

Sooo, cute kitty cat it is.

Christian mythology is so weird. [She announces before putting the costume down]

[willtheunwise]

[ does he feel a little bit mean for pointing it out? Yeah, just a bit. But he’s right, biblical angels are horrifying and he wouldn’t put it past this place to do something rude like that ]

Probably the safest idea, though let’s hope they don’t do the movie thing and turn everyone into their costumes because that would ruin the best part of Halloween.
I’m sure whatever you dress as you’ll look great [ she’s a model she probably already knows that, William. ] and if you do turn into a cat come find me and I’ll keep you safe.

But maybe you’re right and everyone should avoid being something that might be dangerous.

[blackwaterchild]

I bet the candy will do something weird. Like, if they don't mess with one aspect of it, they might do another. [or all of it at once which she hopes not because, man, talk about overkill.]

Thanks though. I appreciate it. You're probably the only person I'd trust to actually take care of me as a cat!

[Not that she doesn't like her other sorta-friends she's made here, but she would barely trust any of them with a plant let alone a living creature.]

Did you ever have pets?

[willtheunwise]

I would be so mad about it if they mess with the candy, though I mean I guess I have enough of a stash in my apartment anyway…

I grew up with a pet dog, he was called Chester and I’ve never actually had a cat but my friends mom has had cats for as long as I’ve known him and I’ve helped out with them.

[blackwaterchild]

Have you been hoarding candy? [She laughs a little, but it's good-natured.] Honestly probably a good idea.

I never had a pet. [She considers it a moment] But I think I'd like cats more. They're independent and not usually super clingy or anything... But a dog would be good for something that'd love me no matter what, I guess. [She crosses her arms, clearly giving it some more thought]

[willtheunwise]

Well…… I live above a convenience store so sometimes I just grab something on my way through and then if it’s a share bag it doesn’t get finished… So I have got a hoard, yeah.

Chester was a good dog and I loved him but I don’t know if I’d want a pet you can’t contain, I leave too much paint around.

[blackwaterchild]

At least if something happens you'll have a back-up of snacks.

[Actually it's not a bad idea at all, maybe she should start doing something similar...]

Maybe a hamster or a rat? Then you get put them in those little ball things. [She considers and then adds:] Maybe let them roll through the paint and on a canvas or something. Pet Paintings could be fun and easy to make money off of if you market it right.

[willtheunwise]

That’s true, I can know I have safe candy. And feel like I’m being smart and not just impulsive and greedy.

Yeah maybe, though I’d be worried about them eating it and getting sick. I like bunnies too, they’re just cute and I like that they stomp when they’re annoyed.

[blackwaterchild]

I feel like bunnies and I have that in common...

[Even if she thinks of her animal as more of a cat. Yuri, on the other hand, is definitely the rabbit... She looks amused for a moment and then gives a wicked little grin]

How about a snake?

[willtheunwise]

Maybe that’s why I like you.

[ He’s teasing. Mostly. ]

Reptiles are actually kinda hard to care for and it’s expensive to run a tank. Also their diet isn’t for me.

[ It would be a great way to end up with a bunch of pet rodents he feels too bad to feed to a snake. ]
