[The feed turns on to Vanellope checking over her shoulder to the opening in an alley. When all seems clear, she looks back to the screen with a growing grin.]

What's a girl gotta do to get some space around here, jeez. I know, I know. What's not to love about someone as utterly adorable as me? I should be used to the admirers competing for my attention. [She drops the high and mighty tone with a swipe to her bangs.] Anyway, never had a guy like that chase me around before. The portable volcano thing's kinda new.

[A bat flaps tiredly down the alley before settling on Vanellope's shoulder.]

Not even Boogie likes 'im, and she likes everybody. So how do I get Volcano Guy to cool it for a while, huh? C'mon, don't be shy, these ears are open to suggestions. Even if they practically talked the things off before... Yeesh.

[She sits herself down on a discarded box with an exaggerated sigh, which transitions smoothly into a hesitant smile. It won't be long before the Numel spotted her again, forcing her to move all throughout Goldenrod City, but she had the time for one more important question.]

Hey Stinkbrain, you still around?

_{[He shrugs nonchalantly.]}

I got a lollipop. Kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me. The holidays are just one big dental scam!

No way, take the win!

[Time to ignore the smoke from an angry Numel in the distance...]

Gotta enjoy life when you can, Ralph my buddy. Anyway, I never heard of anybody back home getting a cavity, and there's nothing but candy there. Don't go blaming all your dental problems on sugary goodness!

Yeah, but I bet your game worked different than this one. This one's weird. Somebody sat down and thought of way too many different ways to get hurt.

_{[Ralph's too caught up in catching up to even consider being on the lookout for mobile volcanoes.]}

You woulda liked Halloween though, I think.

Halloween, huh?

[Seemed kind of...familiar...]

I think I've heard of it. When players chose Gloyd to be their racer, they brought it up sometimes. What is it?

It's this holiday where all the kids dress up as monsters or whatever and go around to houses asking for candy. Then the day after there's tons of the stuff on sale.

Huh!

[Absently, she picks at Ralph's hair, almost as if plucking out bugs.]

Aaaand when can we expect the next Halloween, good sir?

_{[Ralph's eye on that side twitches as she starts picking away at the jungle on his head. She'll stop. Surely she'll stop. Eventually. Right?]}

Not till October. I don't think whatever this place has for spring is even here yet.
