[Damn that pirate and his tricksy ways!
Having snuck down from his room, Kurogane (now much, much tinier but otherwise looking exactly the same as he always did) is waiting around in the first floor common room and looking pretty grumpy about it. He rubs at his forehead - who knew creasing your eyebrows so much could hurt? His kid body wasn't used to making all of the sour expressions that adult!Kurogane constantly wore.]

[ There’s static at first and then the audio function is switched on. ] A most inopportune time... Kanon? [ Another brief moment of silence. ] I see he is not here then, hm.

[ And now he's reading the arrival message. How amusing. ]

Crimes? To what travesty of a representative body declares such things as crimes without a proper trial or means to defend such claims made against us? Doing what is right and just for ones people is now considered a transgression?

[ He's laughing now finding all of this quite amusing. He’s quite calm about the whole ordeal never once raising his voice or breaking out into annoyed hysterics. He simple is consulting the matter. ]

I wish to speak with whoever is in charge, Sentience was it? Matters like these can always be corrected with a simple agreement of sorts or a truce perhaps.

[Shallot had been doing some reading on this "Halloween" holiday everyone had been talking about recently. Dressing up in costumes sounded fun, but the idea of a holiday centered around such silly superstitions was, well, silly.

Shallot decided to see if what he read was true for the people here, too.]

Do humans really dress up in costumes every year to hide from ghosts?

[Well with this current event, Joshua is in a much better mood than he had been previously. Which is why he is just sitting against a tree. In the park. Admiring the coloration of the leaves. No, the kids are fun to listen to, but definitely he isn't going to stick around and babysit. Which is why he'll just relax here. Until he's bothered, at least.]
