[After bringing up the lights and looking at everyone's costumes] This next song - We're gonna get back to this. You know, that concert that we're doing? We're gonna get back to that... This next song is my favorite song on the album and it's also the title track to the album. I personally think it's my favorite song, lyrically, I've written, probably the most emotional to write, and THE most emotional to record as well. I think this song, for me, changed the way that I wrote the album, changed the direction of the album completely. At the start, I was writing songs like On The Loose, The Tide, songs like this, and after I wrote Flicker, I feel like I started writing a lot more songs along this line, like Paper Houses, Fire Away. So I think this was a pivotal moment in the album process for me, and a song that I'm really proud of and I never get bored of playing. And I would also like to dedicate this song to the people who lost their lives not too far away from here today, in that terrible incident that we had not too far away. So I want to dedicate this song to them and the beautiful city of New York. And ALL the cities that have been affected around the world.

He’s usually on the high harmony- that used to be my job, but I’ve given it up.

Today is the start of Dia De Los Muertos!

You all know what that means: Time to kill a whole bunch more people in my basement so that their ghosts can all make their way back to their respective families! Family is important, especially today. 

I’m not a fucking monster, of course I’m going to honor that. Just not in the form of letting them go alive.

Personally, I think this way is more in the spirit (heh) of the holiday.

Happy Dia De Los Muertos, everybody.

If you have a good family, make sure to appreciate them while they’re still alive- and try not to do anything so foolish that someone will want to make a premature ghost out of you. Or, if you absolutely have to, do it within the next couple of days while celebrations are still going on. Otherwise you’ll have to wait a full year to see them again.

Magda was impressed by how all-out a lot of the attendees dressed; it was... almost refreshing. She was used to getting dolled up and in-costume; her job required it. The two hours of makeup and hair. This was her brand of normal, albeit not usually with her face painted half a skull. But the burlesque-looking Poison Ivy was exactly the kind of costume she could wear on stage—and had—on Saturday night. But this was a Tuesday: she was off work and Magda liked—unlike most people—having Halloween on a non-weekend night. It meant it was something she could participate in, instead of perform for, and that felt special.

It also felt special because Renee and Levi and Adele and Maria had made it back with the other two Grails. It felt like a sigh of relief. Magda didn’t know what came next, didn’t know how long this tempestuous truce would hold, but prayed it was long enough to stave off the apocalypse. And at least all the trouble that getting that last prophecy had made her go through had been worth it. Score one—however timidly—for the home team. They had a fighting chance. That, if nothing else, was worth celebrating. It felt like hope for the first time in a long time. So Magda took a Poison Apple off one of the trays and sipped it with a smile.

The redhead turned, looking to see who she might catch here, not realizing she nearly backed into someone she knew, but didn’t recognize by their costume— “Watch it!” she said, always the sort to go into the defensive in a crowd of people she didn’t know. “You almost made me spill my drink and this corset wasn’t cheap.”
