[Cambot finds Roxas in the kitchen, in all his black-and-white cartoony glory and having somehow managed to navigate the minefield of banana peels without slipping. He's fetching ice for some reason. Huh, now why would he be wrapping a little plastic baggy of ice in a towel?

When he turns to face Cambot, he's holding the makeshift ice pack to his face, his left eye in particular, and he does NOT look happy. He glares for just a moment before removing the ice pack and giving a good view of a marvelous shiner.

That looks painful...

He puts the ice pack back before speaking up.]

Chibi. Sora. I found that ball you guys were talking about.

[He pulls a red ball out of his pocket, holds it up for Cambot to look at and then puts it away again. The last thing they need is for it to get set bouncing again.]

[There's something coming in on the Hexfield viewscreen!]

[There's music too! And a strange looking man with long white hair in a red costume of some sort, standing in front of a bookshelf staring at a pumpkin. The place looks decorated for Halloween.]

And now, a Public Service Announcement from.... SNOWFLAME!!!

[Now that the intro is out of the way, Snowflame tosses the pumpkin to the side and looks at the screen.]

Snowflame has been told that it is almost Halloween. And as everyone knows, Halloween is the best holiday ever. Not counting Snowflame Day.

So today Snowflame will be answering your questions on how to get ready for Halloween!

And since the man in goggles set up the camera so Snowflame would leave him alone, you can ask your questions directly to Snowflame!

[Mike shows up on Cambot, now dressed in a long instructor wizard's robe. It looks a little big on him, and he looks a bit confused about it all. He waves.]

Um, hey everyone! Is it just me, or has it gotten a lot colder around here?

[And then he discovers a scroll in one of his robe pockets.] ...And according to this scroll, I am now qualified to teach. Huuuuh.

[There's a long pause.]

So. What do you guys what me to teach? 'Cause I mean, the only thing I remember how to do from high school or college was how to make those baking soda bombs.

[Oh dear god who let Twilight into the cafeteria deck. Anyone going in there might find bowls - not cups mind you, or glasses, bowls - stacked on the counters, most of them with drops of dark liquid at the bottom. What in the...]

[As for Twilight herself, well... She's discovered what her power for this week is, after pulling an all-nighter reading and then downing six cereal bowls' worth of coffee.]

[Teleportation.]

Oh my goodness this is great isn't this so great [pop] I just think it's great I mean it's not all my magic but it's some of it [pop] and I haven't been able to do this in FOREVER [pop] and I can wink out here and be over here in a flash and oh dear I want to [pop] know EVERYTHING about what you all can do right now did you [pop] get something back that you already knew or is it completely random because [pop] I can do a lot more than this with my magic at home but here [pop] I'll take what I can get oh I can go REORGANIZE THE LIBRARY because it's not [pop] organized enough we can do so much more to make it efficient [pop] and I'm just the pony for the job because everypony knows I'm the most organized pony in Ponyville [pop] or even Canterlot or maybe even Equestria and everything is exactly where it should be [pop] in its own place and not in something else's place because that would be disorganized of course so it [pop] has its own place oh I can organize all your rooms I'm sure some of them are DREADFUL and Rarity can help me because she has such an eye for [pop] style so you won't even know your rooms at all anymore [pop] and maybe we could even paint them so what colors do you all want for your rooms [pop] OH I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT I was going to [pop] paint the library quick everypony I need your help moving the shelves since I can't levitate things now [pop] but maybe I'll be able to in the future [pop] if we're finally getting our abilities back but you have to make sure to [pop] keep the books in order because if I have to reorganize them AGAIN [pop] it will be chaos but just as long as everypony keeps every item exactly where it is [pop] everything will be fine and we won't have to worry now doesn't that sound great?!

[Every couple of seconds she winks out of one spot only to repear in another part of the satellite, always within view of a Cambot, because she's literally not stopping her movement and she keeps nearly crashing into walls until the very end when she comes to a screeching halt and looks directly into the camera with a big, disturbing grin. Apparently the coffee does things to her brain. Harry Dresden has had one last revenge on the Satellite of Love.]

[...Yeeeeaaaah.]

[Pop. She's gone in a puff of magenta smoke, only to reappear somewhere else again. Where is that? Wherever you happen to be. Be warned, if she lands near you (or on top of you), you will be getting 7,235 questions about what your current situaiton is. She will start to slow down pretty quickly as she crashes from the caffeine buzz, though.]

[Frank is looking over some reports when there is a sudden knock at the door to Deep 13. The door creaks open, and in walks a kind of frightening-looking woman dressed in green, with glasses and curly hair pulled up into a bun. It’s none other than...Pearl Forrester, Dr. Forrester’s mother!]

Frank: Oh my goodness! Pearl? Pearl Forrester?!

Pearl: Frank! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! [She runs in and the two hug like old girlfriends.] How aaare you?!

Frank: Oh I’m doing just fine, Pearl! I didn’t know you’d be out here so soon!

Pearl: Ohh, well I heard that my Clay left for that dreck of a convention and I knew you’d be holding down the fort all by yourself so I thought I’d just come by and say hi! Maybe, yanno, give you a hand around the place.

Frank: Ohh Pearl, now, you don’t have to do that!

Pearl: Oh pshhaw, it’s nothing! I owed you a favor after you let me borrow that lovely party dress anyway!

Frank: Oh I practically couldn’t help it, it was your color!

Pearl: Haha, well, it certainly was! So! [She straightens herself out.] What’ve you got going on up there, you hard worker, you!

Frank: Hohoho, Hardly working, I’d say! Well, have a look for yourself! [He motions to the screen.]

Pearl: [squints up at the screen.] ...Huuh. Looks like you got some kinda wacky zoo up there at this point. Geeeeez, that looks gross and unsanitary. [She turns back to Frank.] Listen. Why don’t I set up cleaning up and organizing around down here, and you can start getting that zoo up there herded back into their proper holding pens or whatever? We can get a break for some coffee in a while.

Frank: Sounds terrific, Pearl!

Pearl: All right! [She claps her hands together.] Let’s get going here...

[Characters beware...looks like Pearl may be interfering a bit this week!]

 [It's been a while since this guy has been spotted on cambot. He has a wooden keyblade slung over his shoulder]

Well, well, well, look what I found.

[Laying behind Vanitas is a very unconscious Ventus. Vanitas just laughs at the camera]

[Zidane has retreated down to the launch deck - one of the only places not affected by whatever curse this was - after spending too much time on the theatrical deck. He's currently perched in the pipework on the ceiling, probably not a surprise to anyone who knows him, but a very long trail of golden blond hair is falling almost all the way down to the floor from his perch. All in all it's over twice as long as he is tall.]

[And he just so happens to have a couple of knives.]

[...Which aren't working.]

Damnit! How did Dagger do this?

[He's used to having longer hair, but this is ridiculous. He's left the tie in to keep it all together, but his knife refuses to cut through a single strand, instead just sawing back and forth or slipping down the hair river all together. He's getting frustrated, to say the least.]

Anyone got a pair of magical scissors or something? Anything?

[Cambot's still at the water-filled nature deck, keeping an eye out for Sora. Eventually, he surfaces and swims towards the Cambot, looking a tad confused.]

I thought this place down here looked a lot like Atlantica, but...

[Cambot pulls back a little bit to reveal that Sora isn't wearing any scuba gear anymore. Sora glances behind himself, and a blue dolphin tail flips out of the water and splashes. Sora mostly sounds embarrassed...now he doesn't know if he can even leave this deck.]

I guess it's more like it than I thought. I didn't even realize this had happened until today...

[Cambot is panning over the farm area of the nature deck. The entire field is now plowed and even sowed, it looks like! It must have been fairly recent since nothing seems to be sprouting yet. At the edge of the field, Big Macintosh is standing, a watering can in his mouth, watering a plot.

He sets the can aside and sits down, staring at the mound of dirt where the seeds he just watered are. He shifts to get comfortable, prodding it gently with a hoof, then sets his head on his forelegs, still staring at the seeds. He looks a little disappointed...maybe he's not used to it taking this long?]

Hey guys!

So I saw this mechanical bull...

[Oh no.]

And I decided...

[No no no...]

I'm going to try it!

[NO...]

But instead of just trying it, I'm going to go all the way...for the world record! In order to beat it, I have to beat two minutes and four and a half seconds! SO!

[And with that, Cambot zooms out to reveal Minako wearing this, sitting on the bull, based for the ride. A counter suddenly appears at the bottom of the screen.]

On the count of three, Cambot! One...two...!

[90s Kid is on the rec deck, and what the HELL is he wearing? It looks like it was originally a cowboy costume...an all black tight leather ensemble with huge shoulderpads and spikes everywhere...he probably thought it looked hardcore but it looks more like something out of a heavy metal band or a dirty magazine.

Anyway, he's down on the rec deck clinging for dear life to a mechanical bull that's just barely started up. After a little while on it he starts to relax, pushing himself upright and holding on.]

Alright, I did it! WHOOOO! [he throws an arm up in the air as it spins him around] DUUUUDE, this is so aweso--WOOOAH!

[His triumph is short lived as suddenly the bull bucks forward, sending him flying straight over Cambot, and off camera there is a crash and the sound of a cat screaming.]

[Well, Kanji was going to check what fabric he still had lying around, sort through his thread, and make sure he had enough needles, but... now he's just sitting on the floor, back against the wall, eye twitching. Cambot zooms in and picks up more sound. Seems there's a tiny fiesta going on in the wall.]

Are there any cats on this damn ship? They've been going at it for three hours!

[Cambot comes across MakubeX sitting on the ground the best a porygon can, head ducked between his feet-thingies.]

I feel ill... Please tell me it isn't just me seeing strange things.

[ Well, here's a familiar face! Or perhaps not, because he's been gone for a while. At any rate, there's a ginger on your screen, looking rather tired and a mite annoyed, at that! He gives the camera a half-hearted wave. ]

Heeeeeeey, guuuys. Miss me? Well, now you don't have to, because here I am! Without even a "Welcome Back" party, either. You guys really know how to make a guy feel at home, let me tell you.

[ He's totally not dripping sarcasm. Really. Please forgive him; he hasn't slept in at least a day. ]

There just wasn't enough going on back home, you know? Totally uneventful. I'm a teenager; I need some excitement in my life! And what better place to find it than on the Satellite of Loooove, with its dampening field and talking rainbow ponies and crazy experiments? It's perfect! And here I was just going to go for a midnight stroll! What was I thinking?

[ He throws his hands in the air and meanders around the hall for a few moments as Cambot watches, obviously trying to walk off his frustration. This was not supposed to turn into a rant. Calm down, Wally. Breeeeeeeathe. Okay, now try again. ]

Where is everybody? I haven't seen anyone, and I've been here for at least an hour already. Are you all hiding from me? Planning that "Welcome Back, Wally" party as a surprise? 'Cause I'm totally cool with that! Buuuut shouldn't everyone still be acting relatively normal? Like, you know, not all completely disappearing? Seriously, I'm starting to feel like I'm in a horror flick, here, On an abandoned satellite waiting for aliens to attack!

Or zombies.

Or zombie aliens.

[ He takes a moment to consider this. ]

I wouldn't put it past this place. Better go stock up on knives and forks from the cafeteria, just in case. Rob didn't teach me to throw Batarangs for nothing.

[Oh look, it's another one of those big black birds, standing in the middle of the rec deck. At least Harvey got to keep his hat...kinda? Cambot's playing some music initially, but quiets down as Harvey gives it a pointed glance.]

Alright, everyone. Seein' as we're gonna be like this for a little while, I figure we'd better get a few things cleared up here. First off, these things? They're called Pokemon. There's a bunch of different kinds - I'm a Honchkrow, myself - but we're all pretty much the same species or somethin'. Don't ask me how it works. And yeah, some of you are more weird-lookin' than others, but as far as I've seen you're all more-or-less normal, psychic starfish included. So don't worry about it.

Also, as I'm sure some of you noticed... [He raises a wing, which glows with a dark purple-black aura for a moment, before slashing out with it at a nearby punching bag. The energy leaves a neat gouge in the fabric.] ...they ain't exactly your normal animals. Most have some kinda elemental power - that was a Dark-type attack just now. They work mostly how you'd expect: water hurts fire, fire hurts grass, yadda yadda yadda. They can get pretty damn strong, so be careful when you're messin' around. Don't go hittin' anyone with a stray Hyper Beam.

So, any questions? I oughta be able to tell you what you are, if you're curious. They're normally used for battlin' each other, too, so if you wanna test out your moves.... [Is that what a bird calls a smile?] ...I'll be here.

[...aaaaaaaand signing off with more theme song. This is totally the best week ever.]

[Linkara. Cambot. Futon. He doesn't look too terribly amused.]

This week's shenanigans look pretty scattered, right? I mean, we have some people seeing dead people, or ghosts, or possibly sharing hallucinations - whatever you want to call it. On top of that, Terra suddenly has super strength and Riku's afraid of red. [Yep, somebody's been keeping up on what's going on over Cambot.]

It does look pretty random...until you remember that the Mads' special guest during their last transmission was M. Night Shyamalan. Those of you who know who he is probably have a good idea of what's coming next, or at least have a few guesses. Those of you who don't...well, the mermaid in the pool might be friendly but I wouldn't risk it, don't go near the elevators, and stay off the nature deck.

[Hello there SoLeAAAAAAAAH. OH GOD.

GOOGLY YELLOW EYES. And suddenly, CLOVERFIELD CAMERA SHAKING!]

Hello! Hellooooo? Is this thing on??

Lemme turn it o--

[And then suddenly the Cambot shorts out. Cue another Cambot turning on and--well, it appears there is another pony on board. This one with wings and very odd-looking eyes. As to what happened, it appears it ripped that other Cambot out of its socket, along with an entire piece of panel and outer shell of the ship, revealing nothing but cold, black space.

...

WAIT WHAT-]

WOW! How did that happen? It suddenly got really windy in here!!

[Says the pegasus as it is being sucked out due to decompression. Oh, and incidentally making deep hoof-sized grooves as it is being dragged along. The utterly destroyed Cambot (and accompanying panel and outer shell) from before is a more immediate victim - it smashes right into the horse's head, snapping in half before it disappears out the hole.

Meanwhile the pony, fam from being knocked out of concussed or, well, dead, looks confused.]

Heeey, that's the camera from before! I should fix i-

[-and out the pony gets sucked. Even Cambot has no idea how to respond. Except to worriedly switch to Rocket Number 9-

While going "Wheeeee! Woooooah!! Its like I'm flying without my wiiiiings........" as it floats on into outer space.

Oh, never mind, it's fine! Someone might want to say something about the decompression. And the panel. And the giant hoof grooves the newcomer made. How the heck did that pony manage to even do that...]

[There's something coming in on the Hexfield viewscreen!

A little white worm that seems to be sticking out of someone's ear wiggles happily, as though waving at the camera. It's a little unsettling that this particular worm seems to have a smiling face...but it's even more unsettling when that smile suddenly seems a bit...troll-ish. And then suddenly, there's music!]

((LOL I chose that song because it's been stuck in my head for about a week. But believe me, it gets worse >8D))
