[Over the course of October, the station gradually acquires more and more decorations, including cotton cobwebs and numerous Jack-o-lanterns...some bright yellow, courtesy of Muon. They vary across multiple Halloween themes, but notably, none resemble realistic blood or gore. About a week before the end of the month, a message goes out on the network inviting everyone to a Halloween party. Costumes are encouraged, but not mandatory...particularly as most would likely have to be handmade.

On the night of Halloween, the common room has been rearranged to accommodate several tables laden with food, ranging from basic caramel apples and pumpkin pie, to more spooky fare...along with something that maybe didn't turn out quite right. There is, overall, a slightly ludicrous amount of food by normal standards, most of it absolutely delicious...though some of it, clearly marked, might be more suitable for a Troll palete. The tables are draped with tattered, black cloths that nearly reach the floor. Mist spreads out from underneath the tables, covering the floor and diffusing the light from Jack-o-lanterns scattered along the walls and tucked into corners.

Much of the lighting in the room is provided by candles on the tables, wax layered so that they seem to ooze purple, green, or a red a bit too vibrant for blood. The overhead lights have been dimmed, largely replaced by electric candles hung from the ceiling on thisn cords that almost disappear in the low lighting. In the earlier hours, a corvid of some sort can even occasionally be heard cawing behind the music...]
