[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.]

[She tries to think of an example, but none come to mind]

Hey, come on, it's gotta work at least once.

But usually it involves some kind of lengthy ritual or something. At least in Japanese horror. [So many rituals gone wrong that need to be righted...]

[strongroots]

Never watched any of those. Uh, 'cept--The Ring? The American version. [ Humouredly: ] Don't remember any punching in that, either.

[ Actually, he doesn't remember much of anything about it..... ]

[blackwaterchild]

The Ring... Oh! Ringu! Yeah, that was a really good one. You should try Ju-On. Don't think there's any punching in that one either though...

[She can't think of any good examples either and heaves a sigh] Well, doesn't mean we can't be the first to try. I'll punch a ghost next time one bothers me and let you know how it goes.

[strongroots]

[ He scoffs, a fond sound. ]

Sure, yeah. I'll look for you anyway if we start finding ghosts. You're the expert here.
