4th Shadow [Video]

[As Nikola turns on his device, it's not hard to see he's out a cafe somewhere in Genessia City sipping a drink that.. he's not a hundred percent sure he even likes. But, he was curious about all this pumpkin spice nonsense and might just be regretting it a little.]

I've noticed recently that most of the cities save for Everglade have become.. rather festive. However, I don't have the slightest idea why.

[He sets his mug down and sighs.]

And I'm rather sure I don't like pumpkin spice now that I've tried it. Now, please, can some one tell me why most of the cities seem to be celebrating monsters, torture, blood and gore? I'm afraid I don't understand even if it does uncomfortably remind me of someone I knew once.

Must be Christmastime.

[Trolling? SO MUCH TROLLING!]

[....]

....What's this 'Christmastime' ?

[Rose, he isn't trolling. Nikola has NO IDEA what you're talking about.]

[No, Rose knows. ROSE is trolling.]

A terrible time of year when the Pumpkin King and Santa Claws take to the skies to scare children and turn them into monsters. The only escape is to already be a monster yourself, to do the monster mash dance, and deck the halls with jack'o'lanterns and bows of holly and lights and murderous Christmas trees.

And angels and demons that will kill you if you do not join their mad feasts on treats.

Don't tell him that, Rose. He seriously doesn't know about these holidays. At least give him an honest answer about it.

I'm preparing him for Trick'o'Treatin'! So he'll know to throw candy at the monster children to keep their zombie plague at bay and give presents to his loved ones durin' December so he won't be dismembered. Always remember: Dismember December.

[ROSE IS TERRIBLE.]

[....Nikola's not exactly sure just how much of that he can believe. Even to him, it sounds extremely far fetched.]

....None of that makes any sense, even from my perspective. Why would a King of Pumpkins and some Claws fellow go around scaring children and purposely turning them into monsters?

....And how does this affect humans? And what's the 'Monster Mash Dance'...? Or Jack'o'lanterns or.. What does Holly have to do with anything or killer trees?

[Rose, you just confused the poor man. ]

It only turns humans into monsters. What's the point o' turning monsters into monsters?

[Gets out the SONG.]

[DOES A DANCE FOR HIM.]

[Including the Transylvania Twist.]

Holly repels -- I forget what monster. It's either werewolves, or somethin' else.

Killer trees are just tradition. [Head tilt.] Oh! To protect the presents that can't be opened until Christmas Day.

Mr. Claws gives presents to good children, and dismembers the bad adults. Father Christmas is his nice face. He has several. He's a monster too, obviously.

Jack'o'lanterns, are pumpkins carved up to make faces and then you put candles inside 'em to light the way home for lost souls and the monsters that transform back on November first for a little bit.

[He's still giving her one hell of a skeptical look even if he does kind of like the song slightly. However, she will never get him to do the dance.]

....You know, I think I need to ask Jenny or someone else about this supposed holiday because that still hardly makes sense. Beyond the tree being a wild one, how can it be a killer tree? They don't move on their own.

I still haven't the faintest idea of what this 'Christmas' thing you refer to is nor why one gives presents to good children. If bad adults are dismembered, then one would think there would be less adults within the world than children.

[Even for his world this is a strange torture method.]

If any of this is to believed, then I must wonder why you or The Doctor are not monsters yourself. I would think you would have been caught in this calamity numerous times.

Jenny's not even human. The Doctor already counts as a monster see. You throw candy at him to get him to be temporarily satiated while he noms it and it lets you run away.

They're robot weaponized poison dangerous trees with lights and decorations. It doesn't kick in until Dismember December.

There are less adults than children. Oh you mean this one. Well I haven't seen Santy Claws here, so you're probably safe. For now.

I did! I got turned into a gargoyle last year for 2 weeks! The Doctor couldn't even cure me. He was a werewolf, and vampire, but he's already a monster. Anyhoo, that's how I knew he could do the fake plasma, and realized there was pretty high demand even without us being transformed and all.

Incidentally, I might try that the next time I see The Doctor and he's being nosy. Beyond that, I still highly doubt most of what you're telling me.

[Private]

[Okay he's reluctant to admit this part...]

And even if it's not the case, then I should be fine if Monsters are left alone.

Yeah, though come to think, like I said, the Doctor got changed.

On the 31st, just keep a stash o' candy to repel kids dressed up as monsters with. If you're feeling nice gently place it in their bags. Or throw it at them and shriek and act terrified. Whatever suits you.

Lessee, Bats, pumpkins, treats, skeletons, basically the Haunted House done up everywhere, yeah?

[However, Nikola hardly considers the Doctor to be a 'monster'. More of an annoyance.]

...Why would I toss candy at children?

None of this makes much in the way of sense, I hope you realize. Not to mention, why would one desire to go into a supposedly haunted house? Shouldn't someone lay the spirits to rest instead?
