[The Healer emerges from the portal, a bag of specimens hanging from her shoulder. She takes a look around the Garden, and sees the corruption seeping around the portal.]

Well. I seem to have my work cut out for me.

[A monster head begins to emerge from the portal behind her. She turns and see it.]

Oh, right. That.

[She waves her hand, and the portal takes on a bluish tone. The monster bangs against an invisible barrier, and retreats unhappily. Content, the Healer gestures to the Vine, summoning up a mirror.]

I seem to have chosen a poor time to take a hiatus. If I had realized all this was going on, I would have returned immediately. You have my apologies.

I'll get to work reversing the damage done - especially to all of you. If you've been injured, you can expect a visit from a snake in the near future with a compound that will close your wounds.

[When the feed comes on, Sora's busily fixing up her treehouse by hand. Making it look nice as she's recording, because there's a lot to do.]

Um, okay, I know I mentioned it before... Everything happened, but... I'd still like to hold the Halloween party. I think... Some people might need the break.

[Sora pauses in her sweeping, then comes closer to the balcony and the mirror, smiling.]

So, on Halloween--the thirty-first, for people who don't celebrate it--I'm holding a huge party! There'll be food and games and fun. And you can wear costumes, too! And if you get tired, the beds here are free.

[Whatever happens, Sora's excited. Even if only a few people come, it'll be a blast.]
