[Hopefully by now, most people on Fortuna have somehow received a prettily wrapped package containing four different varieties of home-made mooncake outside their doorstep. Those within Discedo had them hand-delivered; everyone else...hope they made it...]

Hey everyone! I know things have been really crazy recently, but if you have a chance [pause] and are in someplace where it's safe to do it [pause...], you should definitely go outside and take a look up at the moon! If you squint really closely, maybe you'll see Chang'e ( 嫦娥), the moon goddess who lives there, or the Jade Rabbit making medicine!

[A soft, kind of wistful laugh] At least, that's what I would say if we were at home...

Anyway, I hope all my packages made it safely, but even if it's not the same moon, you can definitely still eat the mooncake! There's 4 kinds: lotus-paste, red bean, green tea, and chocolate! Just for variety.

I included egg-yolk in a few of them, but you don't have to eat it if you don't like it.

[Oh wait...] Yeah, and I guess it's China's birthday tomorrow too.

祝你生日快樂，老師！ You're still old, by the way!

Oh, and I don't care if you changed to simplified, you're still going to have to get all your greetings in traditional from me! [Yes, Taiwan did just stick her tongue out in the video. How mature.]

[Smiles.] Homemade things always have a better feel to them.

Hey, are you going to dress up as anything for Halloween?

Wasn't planning to, not a lotta material around here to spare.

Well, when there isn't enough stuff around, you just have to get a little creative, right?

[Lightly chuckles.] Got me there.

Not that interested in dressing up myself, but I don't mind helpin'.

We can see what everyone else thinks as it gets closer to Halloween, I guess!

Yes, and a celebration of tradition never hurts, even in places like these.

We can have candy, maybe, and pumpkin carving... Though I guess decorations don't really make much sense...

Should really ask America about it, he'd probably be pretty excited...

Was Halloween celebrated here before?

Hmm...I don't know! I actually arrived the day right after Halloween last year.

Couldn't hurt asking the others.

Yeah, that's probably the best idea! You'd definitely go if we had something, right?

Don't see why not.

You sure you're not going to dress up in anything?

I'm sure. [Small smile] Already wearing a costume anyway.

Eheh, yeah, I guess you kind of are!
