John was actually starting to get used to and almost enjoy his costume. The pants were a little tight but the jacket was actually sort of cool. He didn't pull the look off terribly well with his coke-bottle glasses, but thankfully he hadn't lost those to the costume since he sort of needed them to see. He had fallen into the habit of always having a candy cigarette in his mouth, to complete the look. He felt like maybe being in character would help his chances of getting candy.

So far it wasn't, really, but he had a good enough haul as it stood.

Currently, he was sitting at a table with his candy all strewn across it, sorting it and counting the individual pieces. He frowned.

"Why is it always banana laffy taffy? Banana is gross."

OH NO JOHN WHAT A CUTIE

Kanaya leaned back a little when John approached, her eyes widening in surprise. She wasn't prepared for such an excited reaction.

And, well...

"I'm not entirely certain what this 'Halloween business' in question is," she admitted. "Though I have been able to conclude that it is a human holiday."

ROFL HE TRIES

He was still looking at the chainsaw until it caught up with him that she had explained herself, and he looked a little unsure.

"So you just carry a chainsaw around with you?" Well that was pretty cool, too, if a little creepy.

"It is necessary self-defense against the beasts here," explained Kanaya tentatively. "I do not have any sort of power that would assist me in a fight, so I have to rely on my weapon."

She tilted her head a margin, her expression inquisitive. Eventually, she ventured, "Do you not carry a weapon with you?"

"True," John conceded, nodding his head a few times. He smiled a bit. "I think I'm kind of a cheater in that regard, though." He fidgeted with his hood. "...God Tier, and all."
