[While Mikumo doesn't exactly sleep as often or in the same way as a normal person does, after the ordeal she just lived through in her own world, she takes the very first opportunity she has to lay down her head.
And then opens her eyes in a bathtub, with a stiff back and not feeling a whole lot more rested than when she closed her eyes. She watches the ceiling for a few moments before sighing, faintly irritated but perhaps not as much as one would expect from someone waking up in this situation.]
Not again. [She sits up, checking herself over as she steps out of the tub, and then calls out to anyone else who might be in the house.] Is someone there?
[She sounds a bit wary, but relatively calm considering.]

[Mikumo's knowledge of traditions and celebrations is relatively sparse, and Halloween is one she hasn't really encountered at all in her lifetime. So the jack-o-lanterns just seem like a bizarre design choice at first - Ragna doesn't really have enough land-based agriculture for the pumpkins and autumn link to hit, and that's the planet she's most familiar with - but the way they seem to be watching makes her spine prickle. Being designed for war zones doesn't really help her in this situation, because being watched is one of those things that she picks up instinctively and can't really let go of out of wariness.
Eventually, she crouches down by a row of the pumpkins resting on a fence, frowning but more in confusion than anything. Any passers-by will get a direct, straightforward wave of the hand to draw their attention.]
What are these things, and why do they seem to be watching everyone? [She feels like they'd be better hidden if they were surveillance devices.]

[Mikumo is used to sleeker portable communication methods, but holographic interfaces are interacted with in about the same way, so she has no real trouble stopping the alert once it gets too annoying to bother with.]
There may be festivals for that where I come from, but I've never participated. I thought it was a bit of a strange thing to celebrate. Is this common in others' worlds?
