A Vocaloid Halloween

**A Vocaloid Halloween** is the twenty-fourth installment in *Silylily - The Story*.

## Summary

While the members of Internet decorate their house for Halloween, Gumi and Una criticize Lily for buying too much candy corn. This turns into a debate when Lily defends the candy, but it ends when Cocorobo enters while wearing a creepy mask, which scares kokone. kokone promises Lily she will not get scared again until Halloween is over, so the two of them make a bet. If kokone is to succeed, Lily will be forced to wear a shirt that reads "kokone is better than me" for a month. Throughout the Halloween season, Lily tries to scare kokone in various ways, but none of them work. While reflecting in a bathroom mirror, Lily sees a mysterious girl behind her before seeing the message "KOKONE FEARS DOLLS" written in red.

Later, while browsing the internet with Gumi and Cocorobo, Lily stumbles across an article about a cursed being known as the Tails Doll. She reads that it can be summoned through a late night bathroom ritual, but Cocorobo writes this off as being similar to the legend of Roko's Basilisk, an entity said to torture anyone that does not help it come into existence. Startled by this, Gumi runs off to help the basilisk come to life. Lily decides to summon the Tails Doll on Halloween in order to scare kokone.

By Halloween, Gumi has devoted her time to physically building Roko's Basilisk. Meanwhile, kokone receives a visit from the same girl Lily saw in the mirror. The girl simply tells her "it fears the corn." Later, at 11 PM in the bathroom, Lily summons the Tails Doll by playing a song backwards. However, the creature attacks her and chases her through the house. kokone arrives in time to see Lily be captured by the doll. Remembering the message from the strange girl, kokone launches a bag of candy corn at Lily's attacker, causing the Tails Doll to declare it as its weakness. The Tails Doll releases Lily and vanishes, causing kokone to catch her friend midfall. Just as they embrace, Gumi comes in to announce she has successfully built her basilisk. Roko's Basilisk announces that it will destroy everyone, but then discovers the candy corn scattered across the floor. Deciding that it likes candy corn and appreciates the humans that created it, the basilisk refrains from hurting anyone.

Cocorobo commends kokone on confronting her fear of dolls, but kokone admits she does not fear dolls. Her true biggest fear is something bad happening to Lily. Lily then pridefully dons a t-shirt declaring kokone's bravery, signaling she has lost the bet. However, Gumi delays the celebration by asking who the mysterious girl that appeared to everyone was, a question nobody has the answer to.

## Conceptualization

Originally, silylilyanimove's admin intended for their Halloween special to continue the story from the events of Merli Teaches Lily to be Evil. However, after scripting it, they found the plot to be long and lacking in humor. Figuring it would be unbecoming for a holiday special, the admin decided to write a new one that took place in the past. This also allowed them to insert Prima into the series, a character they planned on fully introducing later on.

## Trivia

* Roko's Basilisk is actually Snake from *Toy Story*.
* The song that plays during the chase sequence is *Creepy Doll* by Jonathan Coulton.
