Lionguard (human): Did you know the gateway to the Mad Realm goes both ways? The Mad King can enter our realm, and we can enter his.

Lionguard (charr): Sounds like a great opportunity to refine my combat skills. That labyrinth seems pretty challenging.

Lionguard (human): Well, watch yourself. I wouldn't want to get stuck in there with the Mad King for an entire year!

Lionguard (charr): Whoa! You scared me! That's the most hideous Halloween mask I've ever seen!

Lionguard (human): What mask?

Priory Scholar (norn): Did you hear? The Mad King has challenged adventurers to a fight.

Priory Scholar (human): I've heard that all over town! I wonder if Tyria's best could take him in a fair fight.

Priory Scholar (norn): Now that's a battle I'd love to see! I wouldn't expect the Mad King to fight fair, though.

Priory Scholar (human): Magister Tassi's research wasn't a complete waste of time. This candy corn is really effective Bloody Prince repellent.

Priory Scholar (norn): I almost can't blame him–you can practically smell the candy corn in Hoelbrak! The Sea of Sorrows might turn to syrup!

Ghostie: Coo! No, quaggan means, "WoooOOOOooooh!"

Ghostie: Quaggan loves Halloween!

Grand Piazza: Villager: I can't believe you prefer Halloween over Wintersday.; Citizen: Wintersday is no fun.; Villager: You don't think getting gifts is fun?; Citizen: I don't think getting ugly sweaters is as much fun as beating you in a costume brawl!

Fort Marriner: Priory Explorer: Remember when the Mad King burst through the lion statue?; Priory Arcanist: I do. It seems every time he comes around, our lion statues are destroyed. Maybe he had a mean cat when he was a kid.; Priory Explorer: Do you think he'll try that again?; Priory Arcanist: I hope not. Evon Gnashblade's requested extra Lionguard support since the Mad King reappeared.

Priory Arcanist: See all the candy corn? It's not just decorative this year. Everyone's been talking about how it keeps the Bloody Prince away.

Lionguard: Good! I hope the Bloody Prince never returns. I sleep easier knowing he's locked in his box!

Priory Arcanist: What's with the Thorns and Halloween? They need therapy. (sigh)

Fort Marriner, Veteran Brigadier General Kernel giving orders to a squad of candy corn elementals: Veteran Brigadier General Kernel: Just like our training: you get in there, get the candy, and run like the Mad King himself is on your heels with a fork.

Veteran Brigadier General Kernel: Operation Candy Corn Tango is a go. I repeat, Candy Corn Tango is a go!

Deverol Gardens: Citizen: All of these trick-or-treating children are intriguing. Mischief and candy sure seem to entertain them!; Local: It's great, I love seeing these kids so happy. Do you have any fond memories of trick-or-treating?; Citizen: No, this is my first time coming to Lion's Arch for Halloween. It's all new to me!; Local: Ha! Maybe you should dress up and ask people for candy!
