Blackstone doesn't really celebrate any secular holidays as a matter of moral principle, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying the "trimmings of the season" so to speak. In particular, Blackstone enjoys going out with his friends, particularly for activities that remind him of the season growing up back home in Michigan like haunted mazes (usually out in a corn field, but basically a haunted house), going to an apple orchard, and going camping as it starts to get colder out. Just this past season he actually bought and carved his first pumpkin since moving out and living on his own. More recently he has been having a hankering for scary movies, but has also recently starting seeing a woman more seriously. This is an issue because the scariest movie that she is willing to watch is Harry Potter. Thankfully, Blackstone doesn't mind that much and there are enough of the Harry Potter movies to keep them busy for the month of October--besides, its been a while since he's seen them. Back at the team facility though, there has been an uptick in practical jokes in response to the spookiness of the season.
