[A gloomy-looking girl dressed in pink and white and carrying a weird-looking doll appears on the screen today, looking kind of like she might be in need of a healer, though certainly, she seems to be holding up better than one might think a (supposedly) little girl would be if they were hurt. Actually, and nobody but Arietta would know this, but for someone who is pretty sure she's supposed to be dead, she's surprisingly in better shape than she was before waking up... wherever this is. She didn't really read over the pamphlet that well, and was too spooked by the hologram to hang around and listen to it. Well, at least she wasn't dying, anyways.

Really, she's horribly lost and super confused, because this isn't the Cheagle Woods- or anywhere on Auldrant she's familiar with, really- and her monster friends aren't anywhere to be found, either. If this is some kind of afterlife, it's a really weird one, and it takes some fumbling with the video... whatever it was called- some kind of fontech device, she's assuming- to get it to turn on.]

- Ah, it's on? What am I supposed to do now!? [She hadn't exactly planned this out in advance.] Is this really working? This isn't some kind of trick, is it!?

[SO MANY QUESTIONS... but mostly she's incredibly overwhelmed by her newfound situation, that she can't help but be suspicious of this being some kind of strange trick or dream or something.

People don't normally just... come back from the dead, do they?

... Do they?]

[The feed begins with Stefano gasping in delight.]

Look at this! [He holds up the box of chocolates for all to see.]

This must-a be the treats for-a hunting all the arrows! Sweet!

[He then shoves a handful of chocolates into his mouth, chewing and humming, letting the world know just how delighted he is.]

[Somebody is just a little excited about Halloween.]

Hey-a, Genessia! Did you know? The big-a Halloween party is-a coming up! I just-a love Halloween, don't you!? All the costumes, and-a candy...

So, ah, what are you going-a to be for-a Halloween?

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: It's time for the Halloween ball! Get together for socializing, dancing, drinks, and flaunting your costumes.
WHEN: October 29th, 2014 - Evening
WHERE: Grand Hall, Genessia City
SOUNDTRACK: What a coincidence, the DJ likes the same music that I do. Put it on shuffle and enjoy!

The Grand Hall was decked out in fake spiderwebs stretched in the corners of doorways, and tiny plastic bats hanging from the ceiling. Stacks of jack-o'-lanterns glowed eerily in several displays, each one carved with a different face. To the right, the ballroom had a fog machine pumping white mist over the feet of the dancers while the DJ queued up a variety of songs, some for dancing, some for Halloween, some for both. There was a table with punch and water to keep dancers hydrated, and a number of spooky snacks like spiderweb cupcakes and pumpkin-shaped cuts of cheese and ham for crackers. ...If you weren't sick of cheese already.

Out in the foyer were similar tables of snacks and drinks, but there were games and activities too, such as a big washbasin filled with water and apples, a table for carving pumpkins, and a couple of fat jack-o'-lantern pinatas stuffed with candies.

[In order to make a living, this poor sea lion is doing what he's been trained to do – entertain. Stefano stands ready, three bowling pins in his flippers, with a top hat turned upside down behind him, to collect tips.]

Gather around, everybody, gather around! I, the great-a Stefano, will perform a trick-a to brighten your day!

[And he proceeds to juggle the bowling pins in his flippers for a moment before he misses a catch, and the pins go flying in all directions. Stefano grins sheepishly, with a nervous chuckle.]

Eh...that was-a just a warm-up. The real act is-a coming up!

[He picks up a beach ball and begins to balance it on his nose. He then takes a smaller one and tosses it up on top of the beach ball, to balance it there as well.]

Look at this! It's-a good, no?

[When he's done, he drops the balls back onto the ground. He then picks up his phone device. The video's been on, but he's sure people can't see what he's doing through that.]

If you missed it, don't worry! I will be performing all over-a Genessia, so soon I will-a be in a city near you!

Who: Stefano and anyone
What: Arrival
When: April 24th
Where: The Bay

[Stefano lets out a huge yawn after his nap, and then realizes how groggy he is. It's pretty dark, and he appears to be in some sort of cave. At first he figures that he's just going through the tunnel on the train to London. But when he realizes that he's apparently floating on water? Everything changes entirely.]

[Stefano jumps out of the cacoon, dropping his welcome package to the floor. The first thing he notices is the walkie, which he picks up, along with the other stuff. He rushes out of the cave, looking around frantically.]

Oh no...I must have-a fallen off of the train!

[Despite the instructions on the flyer to not panic, Stefano begins to...well...panic. He turns on the radio, hoping to reach his circus pals on the train.]

Vitaly! Gia! Alice! I don't know where I am! You have to-a come back!

[When he doesn't hear any response from the other animals, Stefano really begins to freak out.]

They left without me...now how am I gonna get to-a London??
