[As usual, this year's party is held at the ball room. Dance music is already playing, mixed in together with creepy sounds and howls. The decorations are creepy at its best, and there are skeletal waiters walking around this time.

The tables are laden with food for various monsters, ghost, blood for the vampires, candy for the children, and normal food for those who are somewhat normal. Though if you're not in costume, that ugly fish sculpture at the giant punch bowl will spew a liquid at you rudely from it's mouth that will immediately put you into a random costume. If you keep hitting it, it will keep doing it, changing your costume into something worse every time.

Gatecrashers with bad intentions will be grabbed, wrapped and tossed out of the room by that giant spider up there on the ceiling, and it will also grab you if you're being selfish to the kiddies about giving them candy.

For those who lack dancing partners, some of those manakins are not there for show. Those will come to life and ~~harass~~ dance with you if you look a little lonely.

Enjoy!]

You even talk weird again.

Oh well that's nice.

[He almost pouts at her.]

I like it. It's a nice change.

[Shakes his head slightly with an amused smile.]

I know it's temporary, but I know this is the real you. When you don't believe that you're a monster.

I am a monster. Maybe not because of what I am, but because of what I've done. I cant change the past, Namine.

[And yet he seems mostly calm as he says this. Probably because of his new-ish personality being more dominant at the moment.]

I know it hurts. You didn't want to hurt her. But it wasn't something you could control then, right? Like what happened to me and your younger self. The only reason why I'm not dead right now is because of you, even.

[He's silent for a long while. He doesn't like thinking about it that way. He doesn't want to forgive himself. If it had been someone else who had killed her, he would have killed them. As it was him who did it though, he can think of no greater punishment than living with his guilt forever. Or until someone else kills him. In the most horrific way imaginable.

...So stop making him doubt himself, dammit!]

[No, he needs to forgive himself. She raises the hand on his shoulder to his cheek in what she hopes is a comforting manner]

... I'm sure your sister forgives you too.

[He closes his eyes, trying to quickly hide the pain in them.]

...She shouldn't.

[Though she was the type of person who would.]

But she's the type who will, won't she?

[...Nods.]

... I know it's hard, but maybe... you should forgive yourself too.

[...Just, shakes his head.]

...

[Looks down. She won't force it, but she does let go from the dance, and makes her way back to the sides.]

[...You know, one of these days they'll have a conversation that doesn't become depressing.

He sighs and follows her.]

[She sits down, looking glum as she fiddles with the sleeves of her dress.]

[He grabs something from one of the food tables as he walks over.]

Don't let it bother you so much. Maybe, one day, I can be this person again. But until then, you shouldn't let me keep ruining things for you.

[He places the Hershey Kiss on the table in front of her before turning to leave. He figures he's done enough damage here.]

Happy Halloween.

[She picks it up, before reaching up to wipe her eyes. Huh. She's crying. Maybe because she felt bad for Xion. Did she had to deal with this before?]

[Xion never had to deal with this because before Xion died Roxas was a very normal and perfectly happy guy who didn't emo over anything. Hard to imagine, huh?]

[):

Well, now with him gone and his younger self still a vampire, she's alone again. Thanks for abandoning her, man.]

[Every time they talk to each other these days he just ends up depressing her. He figures she'd be happier without him.

Besides, she can go find him if she wants. She knows where his room is now.]

[She figures he wouldn't be there, but she'll try.]

[The door's unlocked! That means he's inside. Don't bother knocking. he never does. ~~Also knocking would take away from the awkward of walking in on him just coming out from the shower, or getting ready to get in, depending on how long she waited before looking for him.~~]

[She tries the doorknob. Huh. She expected it to be locked. She'll just leave the candy in his room and leave quietly. Brb opening.]
