The first year together you convince him to dress up a little for trick or treaters, but he complains. "They don't trick or treat at apartment complexes!" Oh Robert, if only you knew! He refused to dress up, but did help pass out candy.

With the Mecha Man suit out of commission, he can't do much to help the people, so he can't use that excuse as you drag him out to a bar. It's a Halloween themed night at said bar, and people are dressed up as slutty as you'd imagine.

With a few drinks ordered and consumed, the atmosphere is relaxed between you two, holding hands under the table and leaning on each other. And then a bunch of teens show up and start yelling louder than what should ever be possible. So you leave and go back to his apartment.

The rest of the night is spent on the couch, cuddling together with beef and watching slashers and other horror movies. Robert likes the older ones because the special effects tend to be bad, and they make him laugh. It's nice seeing him so relaxed.

Sonar, for the past few years, has celebrated Halloween in a very non-traditional way. He'd sit at home and hotbox his room, and do a couple lines of coke if he felt like it, then promptly pass out for the night. How exciting, right?

When you come into his life he allows you to switch up how he celebrates. He'll let you drag him out to a party you were invited to, or go to a diner down the street that's serving Halloween themed goodies, hell you could drag him anywhere and he'd let you.

He has a preference for staying home, but will gladly go to a bar should you suggest it. He can win any of those silly drinking contests the bars are holding today. Watch and learn, babe.

Does not dress up, not that people could tell. He's getting more compliments today than he is any other day of the year, and it actually frustrates him. Yes, he looks cool, but don't tell him that because you think his head is fake! So disrespectful.

Has, and always will, scare any kids that show up at your door. You'll be giving them candy and he shows up behind you, in his hulking bat form, and slowly approaching the door. They always run off yelling for their parents at the end of the hall or road.

The most he's done to celebrate is buy some candy and share it with his grandma. Back when he was a kid she would be the one buying it for him, she'd put on the same Halloween special from a black and white show she loved and they'd just relax for the night.

There's a bit more to do now that you're in his life, though he doesn't enjoy going out. If you suggest a bar he'll be hesitant, if you suggest getting dinner he'll be hesitant, if you suggest a party he'll be hesitant. Everything you suggest other than staying in will make him hesitate, best to stay inside.

If he learns you really wanted to go out tonight, but decided to stay in because of him, he'll be heartbroken. He didn't mean to ruin your night, go out without him, he'll be fine by himself!

If you spend the night watching movies, you have to watch the old black and white film first, it means a lot to him. Afterwards you can pick whatever you want, but be warned, he is very jumpy. So maybe no super scary movies, just simple, predictable ones will do. Surprisingly very into the final destination movies though, he hates them but he also thinks they're good.

He makes you hand out the candy, but he's smiling and waving, stuttering out his Happy Halloween's to all of them. He looks silly but he enjoys seeing everyone so cheerful tonight, so don't tell him to stop.

Even when he was with Blonde Blazer, he never really celebrated the holiday. Dude just never understood it, no matter how many times she told him the history of the holiday.

Then you, his non superhero partner, come along and he decides to take a break so he can celebrate it your way. Maybe it will show him something Blonde Blazer couldn't, and oh boy does it.

He gladly goes to the bodega with you earlier in the afternoon, simply following behind you as you stuff the little basket with stuff. Candy, candy, chips, candy, booze, a fine haul. Oh, and you get some sandwiches from the owner, you swear to him they're the best sandwiches ever. He agrees.

He doesn't need to dress up, as his hero costume gets kids excited upon a glance- which makes him really happy by the way. When he asks if you dress up you shrug. If you do dress up he'll be happy, if you don't dress up he'll still be happy.

Passing out candy is his favorite part, seeing all the kids happy and excited for the night. The way they run around and mess with friends, it's all so heartwarming to him. They always gasp and yell out his name when he opens the door, with huge smiles on their faces, it seems to be contagious as he's always smiling when the door closes.

She has never, and vowed to never, celebrate Halloween. But you just had to come along and ruin that for her didn't you? She hates how she loves you for it.

A lot of the night is spent doing her work, so you'll have to either celebrate in the morning or wait for her to get back at an ungodly hour. Either way she's willing to spend that time with you.

If you celebrate in the morning, it'll be spent cuddling on the couch watching horror movies. They don't scare her, but if they scare you she'll laugh at you a little before holding you a little closer. It's hard to be scared though, not when she's criticizing every death in the films and how half of it isn't even realistic.

If you celebrate when she gets home from work, she'll be the one dragging you to a bar. She orders some food and several drinks for you two, and it will all be gone. Doing her job works up an appetite y'know. The silly Halloween themed drinks aren't her favorite, but seeing you enjoy them makes her happy. On the inside.

Does not, and will not, pass out candy. Do it yourself or not at all, she doesn't care. Don't make her interact with kids, trust me she isn't good with them.

Blazer tends to spend the day saving people, or going to SDN sponsored galas and events. And even as a kid she would stay inside.

Much doesn't change the first couple years you're together, but after a while she'll feel bad for leaving you on your own and ditch whatever event she's at. It means a lot to you when she comes back home earlier than she should've.

She'd prefer if you guys stayed in, but you don't have too. If you do go out, please don't go to a party, it's a lot for her and she probably wouldn't like it. So maybe just go down to the 24/7 diner and get some pancakes to share. She'd like that.

Passing out candy isn't her favorite activity, but she's willing to do it. Likes kids, but the way they try and jump onto her when they see her just isn't her favorite thing ever. Tries to stand off to the side while you do it.
