you obviously don't know how sexy a Halloween costumes can be.

>>362905
Tell her that if she and her compatriots go to the human world and sack a town to bring you a giant pile of loot, they can linger slightly on their way back to partake in this human ritual if they wish.

you can go to the human world freely, anyone asks you are simply dressed as the overlord. this is a good time for infiltration.

"Hmm.. Very well. I have some missions available. If you finish them fast enough you may partake of this human ritual. But return as soon as you can."

>"!!! T-thank you my lord!"

She runs off while Emily, your most loyal servant, floats before you.

>Emily: "My Lord what is a Halloween? May I have one?"

She's not the brightest.

half a star? we need to work on that

"it appears to be a human festival where you get candy, i suppose if you really wish to partake you may escort the others."

Say it is not a thing to have but an event in the human world. The humans wear disguises so demons could pass as them, but I don't think Emily would do well at that due to lack of limbs. Maybe if we put a sheet over her, she can pass as some crude imitation of a specter?

>>362911
"A human ritual of some kind. If you wish to know more, apparently that minion wishes to partake so you can accompany her and get answers."

Emily is adorable, but explaining things to her is such a bother. Better to pass that off onto your needy minion.

"It's some kind of human ritual.. It involves dressing up and receiving candy. You c-"

>"Ooh ooh I wanna dress up!"

"... Emily you don't have an arm or legs, you can't really dress up."

>"Pleeeease!"

"-sigh- fine.."

You cut up a sheet and put it over her.

"There."

>"WooOOOOOoooooOoOOOooo! Imma ghost!"

"Yes, now go."

>"You should come with me my Lord! We can get lots of candy!"

"Emily I don't eat. Neither do you for that matter."

>"So then we can just share it with the girls and they'll be happy and we'll be happy and everyone will be happy! We all win!"

wait, you can go and use it as an excuse to recon places that normally you couldn't. everyone will think you are just wearing a costume, and if they ask say you are. no one will suspect a thing!

>>362918
"Emily, I appreciate your invitation but I will not be participating in this holiday. I am a busy man with an entire empire to oppress, and frivolously seeking luxury items which I can't even make use of is ultimately a waste of my time. If you must, enjoy the event on your own."

Then return to grinding humanity to dust beneath your heel.

Well it's not like we'd get another opportunity to walk among humans without being feared or attacked. That is if a human even could disguise as us, we may need something less... impressive to appear as.

Let us consult a tinker.

"I said no."

".... Fine fine. But only to gather information, then we leave."

You decide to go to your Tinker, Styx. You ask her if there are any other, less awesome, bodies you can use to go gather information.

She thinks for a moment then pulls out an older body.

>"This one is still good my Lord. The Mana Crystal is about to burn out but it should still be usable for the night."

That'll do. Is there anything in particular you want to dress as or will a sheet suffice?

put some bits on it so we look like a person dressed as this body.

>>362925
Put on some mage outfit we have laying around, this body already looks the part. Anything fancy will do.

>>362925
A bear.

>>362926
this. going as someone dressed as yourself would be hilarious, and an effective disguise simply because who the hell would even think to check for something like that.

You decide to take the old body and slap some spare parts on it. A cape, a helmet, simple things.

You and Emily teleport to the human world. All around there are people dressed as demons and monsters. The younger ones go up to houses and say some phrase which grants them candy.

>"My Lord, my Lord! We have to go! We have to get the candy!"

"I'm fine Emily, you get it. I'm just here to watch."

>"But my Looooord~~ We 'have' to go together! Everyone else goes together! Come on my Lord! Please!"

>>363052
Make a mental note to have Styx install a vagina in Emily. Then you can put sand in it so she can learn about irritation and patience.

"you are lucky i have come at all"

"I said no. You are lucky I even came along at all."

> " :( "

She's getting a bit annoying.

>"My Lord this is the only time we get to do these thing and I just want to spend time with you we never spend time with each other anymore you're too busy playing with Silva and I miss you and there's free candy so please."

>>363057
"As you wish, but I'm going to have Styx give you a vagina so I can fill it with and show you will know what I am feeling right now."

"FINE JEEZ!"
and then do this stuff but GRUMBLE the whole time!

Oh just do it, it will save on further whining later on. But she does all the talking.

>>363057
Fine, but only if we get to maim someone.

"What if we pillage the home instead, using our costumes as disguises? Then we would get the candy and possibly something not worthless."

"Fine but you're doing all the talking.."

Emily smiles and drags you over to the house. She says the secret phrase and is rewarded with a small plastic pumpkin filled with candy.

She turns to you and smiles.

>"See my Lord, we got lots of candy and all we had to do was do some talking! That wasn't so bad was it?"

It wasn't bad but it was a waste of time..

>"My Lord look! There's a Haunted House! My Lord I want to try it! Maybe it has zombies an ghosts! We don't have any zombies or ghosts! We could use some, please my Lord we should go!"

It's already been 10 minutes..

favepalm. "emily, the only ghost around here is you."

>>363067
Sure, let's go in there and kill some undead so we can Enslave them.

Yes. 'Undead'.
Let's kill the 'Undead' inside the Haunted House.
That ought to liven things up a bit.

"We could use more minions. Very well."

The two of you head into the haunted house. The place seems empty and your scans reveals no other life forms..

Something pops out of a wall scaring Emily. She flies over to you crying.

>"My Lord that's scary I wanna go back now let's go back this is scary!"

Asdafgafsfadgfhwj D:<

"no emily, we do not retreat, or did you forget that you have the mighty overlord protecting you?" and shoot that thing so it explodes.

I suspect that there are no actual hauntings here. Not even proper constructs. She's giving you an out, might as well just go. We need to go collect information right? Let's see what the other humans are doing. Maybe there is some large gathering we can find to observe.

You decide to take the chance and leave. Emily clutches to you the whole time until you finally exit the haunted house. You look around and see most people are already going home.

"Well Emily it's time to go."

>"Wait wait wait one more thing!"

She flies over to the middle of the town where a large pumpkin stands. It's colossal and towers over the other, smaller, pumpkins.

>"That's so cool! We should do this sometime my Lord!"

"Maybe."

>"And then we can all light the candles on the inside and it'll be so much fun and you can help me carve one out because I don't think I can carve it well with my hand and then we can put it in your chamber so every time you see it you can think of me and how we made it together. That would be really nice my Lord, we should do that."

>>363091
It would rot after a few days.

But maybe it would be fun to make the most hideously evil carved pumpkin ever.

>>363091
"Only if it can also be a deadly vegetable construct that spits fire."
