The Halloween trick-or-treating might be a good way to introduce the "Magical Lyrical" families to the rest of the displacees, assuming they've arrived in the Metacontinuity before October 31.
How it could work: Tomo hears about Contour Drive, jumps to the logical conclusion that rich people give away better-quality stuff (which is true in Ottawa, but we have "Embassy Row" to set the example), and convinces everybody else to make the trip to the neighborhood. While trick-or-treating, they get something tasty at the Midoriya, and move along to the next address. A couple of minutes later, Kazari (who has already been established as recognizing Rin from the Fate/stay night game) recognizes the Midoriya staff as being from the Triangle Heart game. (Don't ask me where Kazari got H-games - although she is a Judgment officer, so maybe she discovered them while scanning laptops in the evidence room.) She mentions this to Ruiko, who asks, "Wasn't that the source for the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha anime?" (First-season MGLN was aired three years before first-season ACSR.) Chibi-Usa asks "What's a Nanoha?", gets a description from Ruiko (MGLN is one year too new for Tomo to know about it), and races back to the Midoriya - maybe there's another magical girl her age!
Thoughts?
Ack! Ninja'd!
Okay, yeah that WOULD be a great way to run into them! Now I just have to work out how to time everything. If we run into them while in the middle of one of the story arcs, that could steal the show, so to speak.... Lemme chew on it a bit.
The nice part is that I wrangled that 15-passenger van, so transporting all the trick-or-treaters won't be a problem. If we need more carrying capacity then there's always the ever-faithful SCRAPPY!
For anyone 12 and up, riding in the cargo bed is legal here in the state of Texas, even on the highways. It's a bit noisy, but a fun and novel experience for kids. Someone else would have to drive the van, though, as Scrappy has a manual transmission - something of a dying breed this day and age with 8- and 10-speed automatics.
