Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Humph. How stupid. I don't understand your people's concept of a happy birthday. What's so happy about being born into this world? Disease, pain, poverty, war, crime, loss... The world overflows with all kinds of suffering. Whenever people are confronted by these sorrows, they practically drown themselves in everything from jealousy and anger to sadness and depravity. And yet despite all that, you still call it happy. Dare I say it would be better to call it regret? Oh, even so, you wish to be blessed? I can arrange that. By the demon powers vested in me, I bless you with unhappiness. Happy birthday, (Captain). Welcome to a hellish world that defies hell itself! Bwahaha— Would you stop being so happy! There's something not right about you...
2	✔	Humph, a birthday cake? So you light a number of candles according to your age, blow them all out in one breath, and your wish will come true. Absurd. Absolutely absurd. Just blow them out quickly and get it over with. ... (What in demon's name are you doing? A feeble puff like that will never extinguish them all!) Phwooo! Humph, what a shame. All the fires that once burned have been snuffed out. Hehehe. Thanks to my breath, your wish now belongs under the protection of demons! What is a candle's flame? A miserable little puff of smoke! If you want your wish back, then seize it with force! That is the way of the demons! Bwahaha! You... What are you so happy about? Ugh, your good-naturedness knows no bounds...
3	✔	You're expecting a birthday present? From me? Humph. The nerve... Well, if that's what you want, don't complain after you find out what I got for you. A one-ticket to hell, courtesy of an exquisite, cursed artifact! No! It's not a beautiful antique, you fool! It's a very exquisite, very cursed artifact! Nrgh... Wait until you're alone, rip open the gift wrap, and see for yourself! You don't care that it's cursed? You're just happy it's from me? Gargh, will I never find a way to expunge your joy?
4	✔	Heh. So it's your birthday today, huh? Heh heh... So you've grown another year older, and another year closer to death. But don't worry. I'll make sure you get to live your life to the end. Why're you looking so surprised? Come on, I'm saying I'll come and help you if you're ever in trouble. Heh heh heh... Guess you're stuck with me for your entire life, until the day you die. You sure are unlucky, (Captain).
5	✔	Heh-heh-heh... Stuck with me for another birthday, are you? You cursed soul... This journey you're on is too much for any mortal. Let's see if your feeble wings can reach the ends of the sky... Or if death takes you first. Watching over you? Hah. Don't fool yourself. Souls that fall from greater heights burn the brighter... and taste the sweeter. Don't worry. When you fall, it'll be into my dark embrace. I'll drag you down into the deepest pits of despair. But until the day your soul sputters out, fly farther and shine brighter than any mortal has before you.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	What? Happy... New Year? I advise you not to say that again to me if you wish to live. What exactly is this fascination with happy? Happy New Year. Happy birthday. Happy Halloween. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy White Day. Happy, happy, happy! Do you people honestly believe that adding the word happy to something actually brings happiness? As far as I'm concerned, the ones who actually are happy don't bother declaring it to the world. Are you telling me that you skydwellers go out of your way to speak of happiness even when you yourselves feel none of it? That way of thinking is enough to make me take pity on you...
2	✔	Looking at the first sunrise of the year? What a fool you are. The sun comes up every morning, doesn't it? If you think it's so special, then wake up early to get a glimpse every day. Today's New Year's Day? Well how does that change a thing? A year is just an arbitrary, made-up unit... What value do you see in it? Hahaha, there's nothing to do but laugh at the strange customs of people. Ggnh! You're happy to see me laugh for the first time this year? Wipe that smile off your face! Do you want me to make it so you never see a thing again?
3	✔	Had your first dream of the new year yet? This past year has felt like a dream—whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, who is to say? After all, the customs you mortals have surrounding dreams are nothing short of absurd. Humph. On the other hand, what if I took command of the dreamscape to deliver despair among your kind? What was that? What the hell did you just say? You would be happy to dream of me? You wouldn't mind it at all, so long as I was there to hear your sleep talking? Ludicrous! A demon would give you nothing short of nightmares! Do you know how disappointing it would be if I wasted my first night of the new year appearing in regular dreams?
4	✔	Heh heh heh. You're telling me you trust a simple piece of paper to tell you an entire year's fortune? Ridiculous! Those are nothing but paper scraps. What's the point in causing so much stress for yourself? That's something only fools would do! So... what did it say about your fortune for this year, (Captain)? I-it's not like I'm particularly interested. It's just that if the captain is supposed to have good luck, that's good for everyone else in the crew too, right? Oho, so you drew the best fortune, and that brings the most luck? Well, aren't you lucky. Me? Heh heh... I'm a demon. Goes without saying that the worst fortune is the best for me! What's with that look? I'm not saying that 'cause I hate losing or anything!
5	✔	Heh-heh... Fancy seeing you here, (Captain). Oh, I know what you're about to do. Draw a fortune, check out the sales, and have a feast... Right? Muahaha... I memorized all your pathetic New Year's rituals ages ago. Wherever, whenever you are, I'll find you and fill your life with misfortune. You can't escape me. What? What do you mean you're happy we're celebrating New Year's together? No! I didn't memorize your rituals to spend time with you! I'm here to curse you! Wait! Yes, I'll come along to the shrine, so stop pulling!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	A bloody Valentine's Day to you, (Captain)! Everywhere I go all I see is lunacy on everyone's faces. Humph, what an obnoxious custom. I'll stain any chocolates in red so I don't have to see that joy again. Bwahaha! Yes, that's what I'll do! And your chocolates will be my first victims! Hey, I knew you were going to give them to me anyway! Stop dawdling and hand them over!
2	✔	Heh, an offering for me? Well, I suppose taking it isn't out of the question... Wha! Heart-shaped chocolates? What is the meaning of this? No, wait. I see. Your intention is clear. You're trying to offer me your cardiac organ, aren't you? Humph, well enough... Then, as you wish, I'll allow you to stay by my side. Consider it an honor!
3	✔	Greetings, mortal. Why have you brought me an offering on this Valentine's Day? Hehe. Last year you sacrificed your cardiac organ to me. What could you possibly give me to surpass that? Wh-what! H-how is this possible? A second heart-shaped chocolate! Two hearts... Two lives... I see. It has become clear. You ventured into the afterlife to retrieve your soul, and now you aim to surrender it to me? Humph. If you must. You've gone to all the trouble, so I have to accept. But understand this: no matter which world you venture, I will retrieve what's mine! Now, quake in fear as you regret the carelessness of your gift! Mwahahaha!
4	✔	Ho-hold on, (Captain). Is today's offering store-bought? No, I'm not complaining, but I am confused. You've been giving me homemade heart-shaped chocolates every year, so you know... This makes me think you don't feel the same way anymore. Hm? Am I wrong? Wait, you tried making fancy chocolates this year... But you burned them? Hunh. I see. So this box was a last-minute thing. Kekeke... Hahaha! Don't feel bad. I was just making sure you were still loyal. So... where's your burnt offerings? I'm the only one who gets to decide if you failed or not. I'll taste every last one of them!
5	✔	Good. You've got the handmade stuff. Oh I enjoyed your smoldering chocolates from last year, but... I'm not a patient man. Now, give me the chocolate heart—the third token of your devotion! Then my claim to you will extend not only from this life to the next, but back—back to the beginning of time! What the hell is this? A chocolate in the shape of your face? There's more... Lyria, Vyrn, and the rest of the crew! Wait. Then that means... Heh-heh-heh. I see... Somehow, it occurred to you that offering just yourself wouldn't be enough. Yes, I follow your train of thought... (Captain). I acknowledge the loyalty you've displayed in handing over the rest of your crew. But you don't need to worry. I am a demon of great power, and need only one servant. I'll eat the chocolates, but no one will ever take your place as my minion. You got that?

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	(Captain). Don't get any wrong ideas, understand? I don't remember ever receiving any chocolates from you. Therefore you shouldn't expect anything from me. I have no obligation to give you anything today. What? Those Valentine's chocolates from you were... No! You're wrong! I never received them from you... I stole them! Yes, that's right—stole! Snatched them right from your grasp! So this stuff I'm giving you doesn't count as repayment. There's no misunderstanding here, got it? This is not me returning any favors!
2	✔	My appetite for sweets was well and good, but I procured enough for a whole second person... If only some sweet-toothed fool were around to help me dispose of them... ... Feeling Azazel's gaze, (Captain) raises a hand. Hahaha... So you want the treats! What choice do I have? It's totally unrelated to the offering I received from you last month, but have this. Yes! This certainly has nothing to do with what you gave me last month!
3	✔	Humph. Have you been here this whole time? Here. A little something for you. Why? Because I heard that mortals give gifts to their loyal servants. Furthermore, this isn't money. It's a mere confection. Surely this is enough for the likes of you? Take it already before I change my mind. What? For White Day? No! This treat has nothing to do with that absurd mortal custom! Do not mistake my random act of generosity for a present as gratitude for your Valentine's day gift!
4	✔	Gaze upon these sweets roasted to perfection in the pits of hell. Don't they seem delicious? Kekeke... Look at you, stretching out your hand. What makes you so sure these are for you? Hey, hey... Don't cry. You know I was just kidding. I may be a devil, but I'd never be so cruel to my favorite captain. Hah. And look at that, you're all smiles again. All right, open wide. I'll feed you. What? Why are you turning red now?
5	✔	Muahaha... Take it, (Captain). A prize for my servant. I'll feed you myself. Now, don't be shy... Open your mouth. You noticed? Yes, I made these myself. But let me clarify just one thing. I didn't sweat over these because I was so happy with your Valentine's offering. No... What you just ate was a curse. When a demon pours their magic into an item and hand-feeds it to a minion... Then the two will be bound together for all eternity! Ahaha... You've fallen into my trap! Shake! Tremble! Gnash your teeth in regret! That's what you get for accepting the bread of a fiend without question! Come again? What do you mean you want the rest? It's like the older you get, the less shame you feel. What happened to the blushing mortal from last year? Whatever. If you're so eager to be cursed, I'll deliver every last crumb to your lips!

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	You skydwellers have guts to challenge a real live demon to playing tricks. Consider my curiosity piqued. I'll drive you into a terrifying frenzy the likes of which you've never experienced before. Now come and show me the full extent of your base trickery! Huh? What do you mean it doesn't matter? You were just in it for the candy? Idiot! Demons only recognize "trick or trick"! You don't get any other choice!
2	✔	Huh? What are you trying to pull here? I'm not wearing a costume. This is my normal demon self! Azazel is surrounded by a flock of children as he walks down a street. Hey, what are you laughing at, hmm? Who dares to mock a demon! Cease this infernal jumping at once! My horns are not for touching! You, (Captain). Come stop these pests! What! You're intent on joining them too? Damn you all! You will rue this day! Rue it!
3	✔	Humph. I will not have a repeat of last year's travesty... Nay, I will make the first assault! Trick or treat! Ehehe. Look at your face. How does it feel, knowing that you've lost to— Wait, your smile is far too pleasant! Too wily! And you are absolutely laden with candy! Do not misunderstand me! I am not enjoying Halloween in the slightest! At most I was merely prepared to launch a trick attack of my— Oy! I am attempting to scar you with buffoonery! Don't you dare put candy in my hands!
4	✔	All this yapping about tricks and treats... Your Halloweens are no fun at all. That's why I'm gonna take this opportunity to give you a special lesson on what it really means to celebrate Halloween. All right, listen up. Originally, Halloween is for showing respect to demons by worshipping them and preparaing a sacrifice... Hey! Stop snacking! Isn't that for the kids? Don't go and eat 'em all by yourself... (Captain)! Was that a yawn? Unacceptable! This demon here is nice enough to lecture you himself, and you think it's okay to just act however you want... Huh? We should just enjoy Halloween the way it is and not worry so much about the details? Hmph, you have a point. I guess there's no harm in enjoying the festivities. Fine, then let's go all out, shall we? Trick or treat!
5	✔	Heh-heh-heh... It's here... The festival of fright, the night when I sow terror into the hearts of little brats! I have my costume, and treats to pass out when I feel like it. And if you could see all the tricks I had up my sleeve, it'd send shivers down your spine! You're impressed? Hah. This is child's play to me. It still eats at me that you mortals forgot the true meaning of Halloween and all its diabolic rituals... But I don't mind playing along with your games—because then I can cultivate my garden of fear. Muahaha... I'm so wicked, I almost scare myself. Before you know it, all mortals will fall before my reign of terror. Come on, (Captain). It's time to trick-or-treat. We'd better go before all the "good" little boys and girls go to bed.

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Humph, what is this winter holiday garbage? You can just forget it. A demon would never seek to honor a saint. Your smiling faces, gaudy ornaments, and sappy carols fill me with disgust. The same goes for that smirk on your face. Wipe it off before you speak to me. Now tell me, (Captain), what is there for dinner? Fruit punch, chicken, bread, ham, stew, cake... Wait, cake? I won't refuse if you insist on bringing that up. But hear this! I won't take part in any blessings or giving of thanks! The demons will rise again, but until then... Mmm, mmm. Gulp. Humph, disgusting. Bring me some more!
2	✔	Humph, so that tree's meant to celebrate the holidays? What point is there in decorating a plant like that anyway? It'll only become trash in the end... Meaningless labor, wasted resources... Year after year people do the same thing, and yet they never notice, do they? The round golden ornaments, candy canes, candles, ribbons, apples, bell, and stars... Hm? There's no star on top of that tree. You mean you'll leave it to me? Didn't you hear any of what I was saying? Hahaha... All right then. If you'd like, I can top it with an inverted pentagram. We can make this a very evil holiday, you know! What are you so giddy about? No, no, you've got that pentagram right-side up!
3	✔	Pft, Santa Claus... What a detestable being. He sets out in the night to bring joy to all! What is more infuriating to a demon than that! Wait. What are you doing with that bag? Presents to hand out to the children aboard the Grandcypher? Why are you giving it to me? No, you couldn't possibly expect me to take on the role of that jolly charlatan! Hehe. You know what? It's fine. I will give them a gift that only a demon could give. Instead of joy, I'll set curses upon them... Starting with this doll! And this airship model! And this play-sword! Oh, but when their little faces light up in terror! Haha! How comical that will be! Ahahaha!
4	✔	Those annoying illuminations... Glittering and sparkling like that. They may be entertaining the mass majority of people like you said, (Captain). However... It's nothing more than the materialization of an idea brought on by an enormous amount of funds and labor. Nothing out of the ordinary, of course. What I want to say is, there's something that can charm mortals even more without such unnecessary expenditure. It's simple. Light the candles on the candlestand... and recite a chant in the dark of night. No need to fear. You can be certain that the demon you summon will be most charming. What? You already did this on your vacation in Auguste? Hey, that's no way to treat demons! We're not just fun ghost stories for you to tell with your friends!
5	✔	What a despicable night… Why the feasts? Why the lights? Why the laughter of children! And why, in the name of all that is wicked, would they call it "the season of good cheer?" Tis the season when shadows reign the longest. It should be the season when mortals tremble in fear... (Captain), you're about to witness history. I'm going to change the name of this wretched period into something more fitting for the rule of my brethren and I. I present... "the season of evil despair!" Hey... What's with those judging eyes? I won't stand for this disrespect! Tsk... You better change your attitude. How else are you going to appreciate the carnival I'm planning for the season of evil despair? You're slated to be the first sacrifice to my nights of terror. I hope you're ready.

The Halloween Demon

Azazel, hearing about a murky well that leads to hell, decides to join the crew for a town's Halloween festivities. He puts on his costume, eager to put the fright of demons in children. (Captain) and company don't find his costume to be all that frightening, but he remains undeterred.

---

(Captain) and company make landfall on an island that is getting ready to observe Halloween.

The sight of the residents putting up Halloween decorations all over town sets their hearts aflutter.

Lyria: Teehee, it feels like Halloween could start at any moment now.

Vyrn: The children always sneak up on us, but we're gonna trick 'em good this year!

Azazel is a crew member

Go to "Continue 1"

Azazel not in crew

---

Go to "Continue 2"

Continue 1

Azazel: Humph...

Standing beside them is Azazel, snorting in disgust.

Azazel: These decorations are nothing but a farce if you don't also make preparations for a demon worship ritual.

Go to "Continue 3"

Continue 2

???: Humph...

The man snorting beside them is named Azazel. He calls himself a demon.

Though he suffers from memory loss, meeting the crew has helped him remember that he is a fallen angel—a fact Azazel keeps to himself.

Promising revenge on a certain someone who instigated him into doing certain acts, he travels with the crew in hopes of one day coming across his brethren.

Azazel: These decorations are nothing but a farce if you don't also make preparations for a demon worship ritual.

Continue 3

Lyria: A demon worship ritual?

Azazel: That's right. Let me give you a lesson on what Halloween is really all about—

Vyrn: Look, Lyria! Was that old well in the town square last time we came by?

Azazel: Tch... Learn to listen when others are speaking, lizard.

Lyria: Hm, I don't remember it being there...

Vyrn: Let's go check it out!

Lyria: Okay!

Azazel: Gah, the disrespect!

Azazel: They just don't know how to stand still, do they...

After giving the well a good look-see, they come to a conclusion.

Vyrn: Is it just me, or does it look kinda fake?

Lyria: It's almost like a prop for a play. It's made of wood, and there's the color too... I get the impression they dirtied it on purpose.

Sierokarte: Haha. That's right, everyone. It's an artificial well.

Lyria: Oh, hello there, Siero!

Vyrn: Hold on a sec. If you're involved, Knickknack, then I take it this well's gonna be used for the Halloween festivities?

Sierokarte: Mm-hm, that's right. I'm going to have a few demons pop out of it.

Azazel: Demons, you say?

As Azazel leans forward, Sierokarte speaks in a hushed whisper.

Sierokarte: Truth is, the local legends speak of an especially ominous period that comes every few hundred years...

Sierokarte: On All Hallows' Eve of that period, a murky well connected to hell surfaces somewhere on the island.

Azazel: The bottom of the well leads to hell? So what happens then? Are you saying demons pop out from that well?

Sierokarte: Mm-hm. It's said those demons revel in the screams of people as they hunt down their souls.

Lyria: Oh my...

Azazel: Hehehe...

Azazel: (Perhaps it's fate that led me to this island. If the legends of yore are still being passed down...)

Azazel: (Then maybe there really is a murky well somewhere on the island...)

Azazel: (This could very well be my chance to reunite with my fellow fallen angels. Mwahaha... Things just got a lot more interesting.)

Azazel's discontent with Halloween takes a complete one-eighty. He smiles with pleasure.

The others, however, having known Sierokarte for a long time, can tell that there is no truth to the legends.

Vyrn: So you modeled the well after the one in the legends.

Sierokarte: Uh-huh. It's small details like this that really make an event stand out.

In order to liven things up for all this year...

Sierokarte is planning an event where the well demons chase children around.

Sierokarte: Nice children, don't be shy!
Naughty children, run and hide!

Sierokarte: That's what the demons will be saying while chasing the children around.

Vyrn: Heheh. Guess that means the grown-ups won't be at the mercy of the kids this time around.

Sierokarte: Mm-hm. I want people of all ages to enjoy themselves after all.

Lyria: So the nice children will be getting treats, while the naughty children get tricks?

Lyria: Teehee, this could be really fun.

Azazel, who was listening intently this whole time, chimes in.

Azazel: An event that's just as much for the grown-ups as it is for the kids, you say?

Azazel: Mwahaha... Count me in!

Vyrn: Hah, didn't think you'd get so pumped up about this, Ashes. You must really like kids.

Azazel: Don't be absurd. I couldn't care less for the little devils.

Azazel: I just thought this'd be a chance to show people what a true demon is like.

Azazel: (I'll drag them all into the abyss of fear and revel in their frantic screams.)

Azazel: (I have no doubt my brethren will show up after hearing those screams.)

Azazel: Mwahaha...

Believing the legend to be true, Azazel proceeds with his preparations.

The day of Halloween comes.

When a package containing a demon costume arrives, (Captain) and company wait for Azazel to finish changing into it.

Vyrn: He made the design himself and sent it off to a tailor, right? I can't wait to see what it looks like!

Lyria: Hm... A convincing demon would need to be pitch-black and have sharp fangs and wings.

Lyria: Maybe he'll have a really scary mask on too!

Azazel's Voice: Are you ready to gaze upon my new demonic form?

Vyrn and Lyria: Sure!

Clad in his new Halloween costume, Azazel appears before the others with a grand flourish.

Azazel: Mwahaha... Tremble before me!

Azazel: Mortals!

Vyrn and Lyria: ...!

Azazel: Bwahaha! Are you so overtaken with fear that you've lost your voices?

Vyrn: Not exactly... Er, how do I put this nicely...

Lyria: Hahah, you're cute like Vyrn now!

Azazel: Wha!

Vyrn: C'mon, Lyria! Don't be lumping me in together with that weirdo!

Azazel: W-weirdo?

Azazel: Ngh... Tell me, (Captain)! What impression does this costume give you?

1. It's uh... weird.
2. Eep! It's so scary!

Choose: It's uh... weird.

Azazel: Grr... Why is no one afraid of me!

Go to "Continue 4"

Choose: Eep! It's so scary!

Azazel: You're just saying that to make me feel better... The smirk on your face gives it away!

Continue 4

Reeling in his heightened emotions, Azazel takes a deep breath and asks another question.

Azazel: Does the sight of fresh blood on my grotesquely stout frame and ghastly complexion truly not frighten you?

Vyrn: Nope, not in the least.

Azazel: Preposterous! How does this not instill fear in you!

Vyrn: If I'm gonna be honest, I don't think anyone's gonna be creeped out by that.

Azazel: Tch... No point in asking you when you're already so used to demons. It's children that I'm trying to scare after all.

Azazel: I'm going to bring hell to the skies this Halloween!

Azazel: Mwahaha!

A great exhilaration fills Azazel as he waits for the night to begin.

The rest of the crew is eager to see how Azazel will react when the children are not frightened.

Truth behind the Murky Well

Azazel goes around trying to scare the children, hopeful that their screams will draw the attention of his fellow brethren. When the children simply laugh at him, he goes off in search of the murky well purportedly connected to hell. He comes across a haunted mansion and enters it.

---

As the curtain of night falls, the Halloween festivities finally begin. The streets become packed and cheery voices fill the air.

Trick-or-Treater 1: Trick or treat!

Lyria: Eek! I'll give you a treat, so please don't play a trick on me!

Trick-or-Treater 2: Trick or treat!

Vyrn: Hey, not cool! I gave you your treat, so cut it out with the trick!

Sierokarte: Teehee, things are already getting lively. Perhaps I should get things going too.

With a snap of her fingers, the outer lights in the town square turn dim while the inner lights around the murky well light up.

At the same time, an ominous-sounding voice rises from the well.

Azazel's Voice: Whoo-oo-oo...

Trick-or-Treater 2: What's that strange sound?

Vyrn: It's coming from the well. I heard a creepy demon's gonna pop out of it.

Trick-or-Treater 2: Demon?

All eyes turn to the well.

Azazel's Voice: Mwahaha... You will know fear, mortals...

As the lights flicker, Azazel emerges from the well in all his majesty.

Azazel: I am an emissary from hell...

Azazel: A demon!

Azazel: Nice children, don't be shy and maybe I'll give you a treat!

Azazel: Naughty children, run and hide before I eat you up!

Azazel: Bwahahaha!

Trick-or-Treaters: ...

Azazel: (Haha... They must be paralyzed with fear.)

Azazel: (But I need them to scream—loud enough to be heard all over the island!)

Trick-or-Treaters: Ahaha!

Azazel: Urk!

Azazel knits his brows at their unexpected laughter.

Azazel: Impossible... How is it you gaze upon my demonic form and exhibit no fear...

Azazel: Does my grotesquely stout form stained with fresh blood and my pale complexion not disturb you!

Vyrn: Told ya so...

Lyria: Ahaha... Azazel must be shocked since he was feeling so confident earlier.

Sierokarte: Haha, the important thing is that he has the children interested. I'd call it a success.

Trick-or-Treater 3: Hey, demon! Trick or treat!

Azazel: Oh? How bold of you to approach a demon without fear in your heart.

Azazel: Allow me to repay the favor in kind!

Azazel: Boy. Don't think you'll be getting candy so easily.

Azazel: Run, scream, show me how bad you want the treats!
Nice children, don't be shy!
Naughty children, run and hide!

Azazel: Gwaaah!

Trick-or-Treater 3: Ahaha! The demon's coming!

Azazel chases after the screaming children.

(Captain) and company watch on, pleased to see them having a good time.

After some time frolicking with the children, Azazel realizes he isn't making much progress.

He begins searching for the real murky well that's said to have surfaced somewhere on the island.

Azazel: Damn!

Bee Monster: Bzz!

Azazel: You will not spoil my Halloween, monster!

Bee Monster: Bzz...

Azazel: Surprise, surprise. To think it made a beehive out of the well...

Azazel spots a secluded well lying underneath the shade of a tree and runs over to it.

Azazel: Tch, not this one either.

Azazel: Just when I thought I'd finally caught a lead, the reunion with my brethren continues to be a fleeting dream...

Azazel mutters to himself, his gaze dropping to his feet.

Azazel: (No, I can't give up yet. At the very least, I should wait until the end of Halloween before I denounce the legend as false.)

Encouraging himself to keep pushing forward, Azazel turns away from the well.

Azazel: ...!

Azazel's Voice: Gaaaah!

He slips on the nearby sludge and falls into the well.

Azazel's Voice: Ugh, confound it all!

Azazel: Huff... Huff... What are the chances...

Azazel: That someone spotted a demon who'd fallen in here climbing out of the well...

Azazel: And ended up becoming the basis for this legend?

Azazel: Bwahaha! No, this is no laughing matter.

Despite this mishap, Azazel continues searching for the murky well afterward. However...

Azazel: Cripes, where could it possibly be?

Azazel: Maybe it's been demolished already?

As a myriad of unfavorable possibilities cross Azazel's mind, a dark miasma pervades his senses.

Azazel: What's this?

Azazel proceeds carefully to track down the miasma's source.

He finds a creepy-looking mansion in a secluded part of town.

Azazel: Hm, the miasma's coming from this mansion...

Azazel: (Considering how big this place is, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a well in the courtyard.)

Azazel pushes the mansion's old, creaking double doors and steps inside.

What greets him comes as a bit of a surprise.

Ghost 1: Nwahaha! Trick or treat!

Azazel: Humph...

Ghost 2: Who-hoa... If looks could kill, you'd be doing a number on me right now. Don't you know Halloween's all about having fun?

Ghost 1: Sheesh. Read the room, buddy.

Azazel: How about you speak for yourself?

Azazel's expression softens as he prepares to take on the two ghosts.

Truth behind the Murky Well: Scene 2

The mansion ghosts are plotting to turn Halloween into a year-round event. Azazel admonishes them to call it off, as scares can quickly get old. Children show up at the mansion and mistakenly believe Azazel is arguing with the ghosts. They all end up playing together.

---

Azazel: Come at me.

Ghosts: Aww...

Azazel: Very well... I gave you your chance!

Ghost 1: Whoa, time out, time out! What's the big rush here?

Ghost 2: We thought little rug rats came looking for a good time, but you don't exactly fit that description. What's with the getup anyway.

Azazel: This is... a demon costume.

Ghosts: Nwahahaha!
Ehehee!

Azazel: Do you want to die that bad?

Ghost 2: We're already dead, but... Sorry.

Ghost 1: You know how today's Halloween, right?

Ghost 1: This is our chance to play with the little munchkins. Really wish grown-ups like you wouldn't get in the way of that.

Ghost 2: C'mon, you gotta know how we feel. Please, please, pretty please, demon?

Azazel gives some thought to their request.

Azazel: What exactly are you anyway?

Azazel: Looking like that, you certainly aren't demons... Are you monsters?

Ghost 1: Monsters? Nuh-uh, we don't associate with those nasties. We're Halloween ghosts.

Ghost 2: Yeah, what he said. Be a pal, and give us the chance to prove that we're just friendly neighborhood ghosts.

Azazel: Friendly neighborhood ghosts wouldn't call themselves that.

Ghost 2: Aw, what a spoilsport. Is it so bad to want to have funsies with kiddies forever and ever?

Ghost 1: Yeah! Go, go, year-long Halloween!

Azazel: Year-long Halloween, you say?

Ghost 1: There'd be so much happiness to go around if we could play with those ankle biters all day every day.

Azazel: Goodness... You ghosts are absolutely clueless.

Azazel breathes a deep sigh, as if taking pity on them.

Ghost 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa... What's that supposed to mean?

Azazel: Given your appearance... When you say "play," surely you mean to scare them.

Ghost 1: That's right! From scares to tricks to treats—it's all going to be so much fun!

Azazel: Halloween isn't meant to be celebrated all year round.

Azazel: I've come to see that no matter how much you try, people quickly get used to diabolical shenanigans.

Ghosts: You think so?

Azazel: Mm-hm.

Ghost 1: Aw, don't be such a sourpuss. I mean, just look at us—we're the very definition of scary!

Azazel: It doesn't matter how scary you look. Believe me, I speak from experience.

Azazel: Never underestimate the adaptability of mortals!

Ghosts: ...!

Ghost 2: You just might be right...

Ghost 1: Hey!

Ghost 2: If I'm gonna be honest... There was a part of me that figured that might be the case...

Ghost 1: Oh great! What are we supposed to do now?

Azazel: Isn't it obvious? If Halloween's your one chance to play with the little devils, then make damn sure you make the most of it!

Ghost 1: Pah... You make it sound so easy!

The situation grows volatile as the two sides stare off at each other.

???: Hey, no fighting!

They turn to the entrance to find a group of trick-or-treaters standing with arms folded and serious expressions.

Trick-or-Treater 3: You disappeared all of a sudden, so we went looking for you. Then we found you here...

Trick-or-Treater 3: Don't forget that naughty kids are supposed to be gobbled up by demons! That's why you shouldn't fight, or you might be seen as naughty!

Azazel: Heh, mediating a fight between a demon and ghosts? Kids these days can be surprisingly mature...

Ghost 1: Heheh, no argument there!

Trick-or-Treater 3: C'mon, can't we all get along!

Ghost 1: It's not like we were really fighting to begin with...

Azazel: We simply had a difference of opinion...

Azazel: Look into the child's eyes. He's not going to be convinced until we shake on it.

Ghost 1: Pssh! All right then! Put 'er there!

And so Azazel and the ghosts reconcile before the children.

They then team up to chase the trick-or-treaters around for more Halloween cheer.

Truth behind the Murky Well: Scene 3

By the time the children leave, Azazel and the ghosts are on friendly terms. The latter agree that it’s better to keep the statue quo for Halloween, then inform Azazel that the murky well legend is a fabrication before vanishing. Though dismayed, his spirits are lifted when he meets up with the crew and children later.

---

By the time the children return home from a fun-filled day, Azazel and the ghosts are on good terms, engaging in friendly chatter.

Ghost 1: You were right all along, Azazel.

Ghost 1: I've given up on the idea of a year-round Halloween. One day of unbridled fun's enough for me.

Azazel: That's definitely for the better, I assure you.

Ghost 1: Heheh, thanks for the advice!

Ghost 2: Hey, it's almost time...

A lonely smile comes over the ghosts' faces as they trade glances, taking note of the moon fading into the clouds.

Azazel: What's wrong?

Ghost 1: We'll be vanishing into thin air a bit early today.

Ghost 1: After all, we now know to take our fun in stride!

Ghost 2: Hehehe. See you again next year!

Azazel: Yeah, see you.

Ghost 2: Oh, and before we go... I forgot to ask, but what brought you here in the first place?

Azazel: Right, I haven't mentioned that yet, have I... I'm searching for a murky well somewhere on the island.

Azazel: I came in here hoping there might be one in the courtyard.

Ghost 2: Huh? Why a well of all things?

Ghost 2: Ah! Don't tell me there's some sort of buried treasure inside it!

Azazel: Treasure? Heh, not quite... I caught word of a local legend around these parts...

Azazel: I had to find the well to see if there's any truth to the legend.

Ghost 2: Yeah? Tell us about it.

Azazel: It's said that an especially ominous period around Halloween comes every few hundred years... And this year is it.

Azazel: A murky well connected to hell is supposed to show up somewhere on the island, allowing demons to spring up from it.

Ghosts: Nwahahaha!
Ehehee!

Azazel: What's so funny?

Ghost 1: Seriously, Azazel, that's story's as good as made-up.

Ghost 2: Yeah, you can't really believe anything related to the occult!

Azazel: Occult, you say... What am I then? And what did I go through the trouble of dressing up for?

Ghost 2: I know you had high hopes, but cheer up! At least you found the truth.

Azazel: Heh... What an unexpected conclusion... But you just might be right.

With a loud chuckle, the ghosts fade into the night.

Azazel: ...

Azazel: Once every hundred years? How does that make any sense... I should've known...

Azazel: Hm... Perhaps I was too eager for answers.

Azazel realizes his desire to reunite with his brethren blinded him to his own foolishness.

Just then, someone calls out to him.

Vyrn's Voice: Heyo! Ashes!

Azazel: That voice...

Azazel: How many times must I tell you, lizard. My name is Azazel, not Ashes!

Vyrn: Aw, never mind that. You know we looked all over for you?

Azazel: I had something to take care of. What do you want anyway?

Vyrn: Guys, over here! I found Ashes!

Azazel follows his line of sight only to see a large group of trick-or-treaters coming in from the forest, trailing behind (Captain) and Lyria.

Azazel: ...?

Trick-or-Treater 1: Yay! It's the demon!

Trick-or-Treater 2: Trick or treat!

Azazel: You should know better than to approach a demon so casually!

Seeing the children cling to him like a plague, Azazel gives a wry smile.

Azazel: Nice children should be asleep in bed at this hour.

Lyria: They insisted on playing with you before going home, so...

Vyrn: Heheh, the kids love you, Ashes!

Azazel: Humph. So that's why you brought them here, eh?

Azazel: All right... Watch as I send them back to their dens!

Azazel: Naughty children who stay up late... get to be demon bait!

Trick-or-Treaters: Whee! Ahaha!

Azazel: Waaiiit!

Lyria: Teehee! Azazel really loves children, doesn't he.

Vyrn: No doubt about that! Sure is weird when you think about how he's a demon though.

Azazel: Waaiiit! Trick or treat!

Azazel chews the scenery, showing the children a good time as he chases them around.

His lips curve into a smile, the experience buoying his sour mood.
