No? That's surprising for someone from the "planet of festivals".

It's hard to know all the different kinds of holidays in the galaxy.

Do you want to look around with me?

[ It's not so cold out. ]

[ That's true. ]

Sure. You're not bothered by all the spoooky decorations?

Not at all. They're just decorations, right?

So they are. From what I understand, they hand out candy too.

... Not that I'd eat anything here.

Huh? Did something happen to you already?

I just remember floating around last week...

...

I also drank something that made me bald. So that was horrifying.

I know the donuts made people float.

Let's avoid losing anything else for now. Just looking around shouldn't do anything.

[ He hums, walking around. ]

Yeah, it's nice enough just being around the festivities.

There's so many skeletons...

[It's an odd choice for festivities.]

I don't even know if I've ever seen a whole one before...

[ He's kind of interested. ]

Not even a chicken's?

[ Look at it. With its bone beak. That doesn't seem right. ]

Do you normally look at the skeletons of livestock?

[ Looks at her. ]

I mostly saw exoskeletons of bugs...

[She doesn't seem happy about it.]

Were you just fighting a lot of bugs...?

They were endless.

[Endless, enormous self replicating beetles.]

... Is that a common problem?

Not as much as there were before, but there are still remnants of them. They're still incredibly dangerous.

Are they what you were engineered to fight?

They were.

Where are they coming from anyway...?

What do you know about Aeons?

You mean eon? It's a long period of time?

It's a homophone, but it's not the same. An Aeon is something akin to a god, and they preside over an aspect of reality.

Tayzzyronth is the Aeon of Propagation. They were responsible for the rise of the Swarm.

And why'd they do something like that?
