NOW will you let me upload this, internet?

Well, the big day is tomorrow. Might as well consider this the official Halloween post, because the next one will be one day too late.

I don't have any big plans for the event, myself. Well, no plans to go outside. I do have a Halloween-themed gaming livestream thing I kinda want to do either tonight or tomorrow. Not sure exactly when, but then again I never am. We'll see how it goes.

Transcript:
DM: Zecora brings out a glowing green powder and blows it into the air. It expands rapidly, creating a mystical fog that surrounds the group.
Twilight Sparkle: I use Arcana to identify this substance and see if there are any hidden magical effects. <roll> 27.
DM: As vague shapes and images form in the mist, you analyze it magically and see that it’s some kind of illusory potion dust, creating sights and sounds based on the user’s will. Basically Prestidigitation by way of alchemy. Novel, but not powerful.
Twilight Sparkle: So no adverse effects? Mind control? Poison? Anything?
DM: Nothing. It’s just for show.
Twilight Sparkle: Alright…
Zecora: You wish to know why we put on costumes and gather treats? I’ll tell you, little ones. When the sun goes down, Nightmare Moon emerges from the shadows, searching for defenseless little ponies to gobble up!
Pinkie Pie: Aww, she’s not rhyming anymore. Well, in response, I shriek and bury my head in the ground, like a flamingo!
DM: Uh… That’s an ostrich… So anyway, the kids see you acting scared and start worrying as well.
Zecora: If she sees monsters and freaks where ponies would be, she passes by harmlessly. Each costumed pony avoids a gruesome fate for another year.
Twilight Sparkle: What if they’re dressed in a normal pony costume? Like an astronaut, or a wizard?
DM: …Fortunately, no one hears your question over Zecora’s special effects.
Pinkie Pie: Maybe Nightmare Moon’s so old, she doesn’t know what an astronaut is? …Wait.
Twilight Sparkle: And if dressing up staves off Nightmare Moon, why do we then have to collect candy?
DM: …says Pipsqueak, asking basically the same thing, because I was just about to answer that exact question next, thank you.
Twilight Sparkle: …Sorry. Too much?
DM: A little bit.
