[A few different things had been on Luna's mind since things had calmed down a bit, particularly allowing her mind to wander and think about what exactly was coming up in the next month or so. Curious things, wondering if it was even worth speaking about considering the connotations they held.]

Call us curious, Garden, but We were wondering what kind of celebrations that were held back in your own world that revolved around the end of October. If they were a positive celebration, a negative one, what sort of things were involved, and what kind of characters were included in it. [The ponies probably know exactly what she's getting at, but it was still worth asking.]

Secondly We are curious as to what kinds of rulers and/or deities you had back in your respective worlds. We are... not unused to the term and We wish to know the definitions others have used in such circumstances. It is no secret that We were a co-ruler of Equestria, nor is it a secret that We had, for some time, control over the change from sun to moon along with the stars in the sky. Thus We will also gladly answer any questions on that front as well as We have quite a bit of time on our hands.

A candy sacrifice? :O I've never heard of anything like that.

Kind of. The president shares duties with a legislative board called Congress, but most people think he's got more power.

I'd say it's spectacular. :| I know I can't do anything like that - and I'm sure most of the heroes back home couldn't either.

It is not something that is a grand experience, in our own personal experience with it. Though things seem to have... changed after We were finally able to attend one of the celebrations that year, We still do not understand why people wish to be scared.

Legislative board? [What is this nonsense about councils of people doing things.]

Different worlds, We suppose. Though in the past it had to be groups of unicorns to perform such magic, not just one.

[alwaysanarcher]

some people like being frightened. I can't explain why but it's fun sometimes! just as long as everyone knows it's not real :(

They're a group of people who write and enforce laws. The president signs them, but Congress makes them for the country.

Just means you're a pretty powerful unicorn, right?

[lunar_princess]

True, true. Though it feels odd when the source of the scare is yourself.

A group writing and enacting laws, that... We are not entirely sure how to feel about that other than curious and a bit distrustful of such a system and how easily it could be exploited.

Alicorn. Though, yes, We are only one of three.

[alwaysanarcher]

Huh! In that case, I have no clue what that's all about. :(

You're right; it is easily exploited, but it seems to work for my country. It's been a while since I've taken US History, but I could try to walk you through it?

Oh wow! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were an alicorn!
