Aurelia wasn't too bummed by her prize but still.....though she was quickly distracted as Meadow suggested they go try another game, smiling and following him at a happy trot. When she saw the game that they ended up at her eyes went wide; it looked complicated and hard. It didn't dampen Meadow's spirits at all and Aurelia smiled brightly as she watched him try it....and won! She giggled and cheered for him, clapping and jumping in place a bit. "Cool! Now we have two matching plushies! I'll try, too!" She walked over to the game and nervously wrung the handle of the mallet before she lifted it and swung it down with all her might and a "WHUMPH!" sound. She watched the rubber chicken bounce up and almost bounce off the edge of one of the cauldrons but ended up falling inside of it as it moved. The vendor handed her a nice big bag of chocolate skulls as her reward. "Awesome! We did it!"
Lural
biggrin
Iolanthe finished munching on her caramel apple as she wandered around looking at the variety of treats. As she finished the last bite on the stick and tossed it in the trash, she looked over to see someone selling sugar skulls. They looked pretty AND delicious, the vendor commenting as she bought one that she could use it in her witches brew to make a powerfully tasty potion. The comment made her giggle.
Kohaku found their way slowly to the fun fishing game and decided to take the chance. It seemed like an interesting and random game. They cast their line over the wall that hid the prizes from their eyes. As they waited to feel the tug they heard Seeker yapping as someone approached and dropped something into Kohaku's bucket. Glancing down into it they saw a bottle of some strange, fizzling liquid. They weren't entirely sure what it was and weren't keen on finding out. They then felt the tug on the line and reeled it in to see....a cute little nezubat plushie! Kohaku smiled happily and thanked the vendor as they put it into their bucket, thinking it could be a toy for Seeker.
Gilly was definitely keeping a closer eye on Soop than she had been before, but the vespercat actually seemed to like the extra attention as he pranced on ahead of the two freshlings. When Gilly stopped, she saw that they were standing in front of a huge, creepy building, decorated with all sorts of spooky cobwebs, gravestones, and wisps of lights. Cries and shrieks could be heard coming from the broken windows. In front of the door was a goblin with what looked like zillions of bracelets all over both if his arms. "Step right up, for the fright of your life; visit the Haunted Hallows Haunted House! Get through the whole thing without being scared, and win one of these fine bracelets!" He smiled at the two in front of him. "What do you say, ladies? Feeling brave?" Several minutes later, Gilly reemerged with a grin and held out her hand for the promised prize. Admiring it on her wrist, she grinned at Zoe. "I think after that mean old thief stole Soop, NOTHING is going to scare me tonight!"
What a relief! Zoe was glad that the vespercat had led them to something like this; it would be closely monitored by adults and they could have some genuine fun being scared! She smiled at the goblin and nodded before entering through the creaky door and into the house. She emerged behind her friend a few minutes later, hoping the prize-doler wouldn't notice that the wisp on her tail was extra-poofy. She thought she wouldn't be as scared as all that, but my! What ideas those scary people had! At least she did get a bracelet for her trouble, though she couldn't help but notice that the freshling exiting just behind them was bawling her eyes out and clinging to her caretaker, yet still received a bracelet. Ah well, she had no real cause to say anything.
Having gone the opposite direction as the other two after the fiasco with the thief, Ruari walked over to a nearby booth that featured a more advanced game of dart balloons; there were other, bigger balloons on the board for lesser prizes, but nestled in the center was a tiny, neon green balloon that represented a more coveted prize: a glowing necklace that looked full of deadly poison. Ruari's eyes lit up at both the prize and the challenge, for wasn't he after all the troupe's best thrower? Less than a minute later he walked away from the booth twirling the string that held the necklace, passing several freshlings and kids with their mouths hanging open in admiration. He twitched one of his ears when he heard one of them saying in a whisper, "Did you see that? And on his first try!" Smiling wider, he looped the necklace over his head and walked on.
Oran felt like they were on different wavelengths a bit but that was okay. The world would be a boring place if everyone had the same viewpoint and secretly it was good practice for dealing with Keres, considering her nibling was a Litch as well . Keres and her always didn’t understand what the other meant either sometimes. “Ah yeah, I’m touring the festival by myself. I just got a new family member and I offered to brave the festival by myself so that my brother could have a bonding experience with my Nibling.” Oran admitted, although maybe it wouldn’t have hurt if Oran had tagged along for a little while.
Nepsah
“you laugh now, but the last festival I went to they were throwing things like crazy. Shooting plushies out of air canons and throwing gemstones at nearby unsuspecting people. It was only a plushie but they can still hurt when they hit you depending on the plushie.” Yami chided barely resisting the urge to stick out his tongue. Yep he had been around his kids too much lately. Last time he was valiantly heroic. Okay that might be a lie. Hmm come to think of it considering what he did for a living... could he actually ever be called Heroic. “Anyways my fairest Princess then I know just the place to go” He replied taking her hand and braving the perilous dangers of the festival crowds. Eventually they came the candy apple stand and Yami picked one out.
What was so wrong about enjoying the festivities by just reading spooky stories or movies or hell even being talked into visiting the occasional haunted house? Well apparently Thayne hadn’t gotten the message and he was all excited about being free to wander around on their own. Wandering around wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. However Thayne had made the face. The one where he put on this silly pout and his eyes watered and Layren eventually gave in because it was easier.
So of course here he was at the festival and he had already been bombarded by little old ladies who shoved a plushie on him. Thayne better appreciate this…. Really.
Why was he here again? Ah something about he needed to go out and pretend to socialize so that the social workers didn’t get suspicious again. Haunted Hallows had too many people. Too many hyper people that tried to stuff you with candy or give you heart attacks by trying to scare you. Acheron supposed he was okay with candy but it wasn’t really a big deal for him, and he wasn’t the type to go out and try to get thrills by trying to scare himself. Well he supposed scaring people could be fun, but after the first couple it always ended up the same and boring.
It was about then that he noticed a geist. Huh… well that wasn’t the typical face. “You know. I heard you….” He trailed off here. Oh yeah had to watch the language too. Damn. “…Were supposed to be happy at events like this? Someone take your candy or give you a bad scare?”
he was disappointed when the box of raisin were dropped in his pail but soon the disappointment turned to joy when he thought about all the recipe possibility he could make with lots more.
Loki grinned, lore candy for her to hoard and, maybe share with her brother. she gratefully accepted the bag of candy and went on her way.
kahula was next as she was given some candy floss. she gratefully accepted and went on her way.
yummy. she thought as she revised the caramel filled eyeball chocolates, she opened the bag and ate one, before going to join the rest of the group.
chrons was last as he made his way up holding up his pail. plop went in the back of the candy eyes as he happily huged his pail and went back to join his mother.
“Hmm well strength tester is always rigged. Especially since Grimms are rather strong so you have to make it unfair to everyone. I tend to be scarier than Haunted houses but they aren't bad. Catching skyfish or picking pumpka is kinda fun” Salem stated, thinking about stuff. He and Samhain had similar interests…. ‘You’re really cute’
What… what… what? He was in the twilight zone. It was the only explanation. However before he could come back to earth or think to give the plushie back to the girl, she had run off giggling…. Giggling. What the hell? Ah well he definitely wasn’t telling Lace how he got the plushie.
“Yeah… yeah complementary colors and all that.” Vanna commented, although he would probably wear the bracelet. They weren't that big and it would make Mai happy, and he supposed kingston and that wasn’t tooo bad.
It was about then that someone came running down the festival hall they were in. They bumped into Vanna before then continuing running. Vanna noticed they had dropped something only when he went to pick it up a feeling of sorrow over came him. He instantly dropped the locket that popped open at the second fall. Inside where two pictures which had both been scratched out? Well that was weird?
“yes we must absolutely. It would be a great way to remember getting new friends… and I’ll make sure Brother wears it” Mai stated, although really it wouldn’t be that hard. Vanna when he wasn’t working was just weird like that. She started looking around wondering if maybe there would be one at a vendor or something. It was about then that Kingston bit into the candy of doom. “I could have told you that Kingston. It looked like some one tricked you” Mai replied, reaching into her bag and pulling out a candy. She made it sure it wasn’t one of those evil candies, although she hadn’t ever remembered seeing it in her bag before.
“Yeah I know. We’re only really making it worse. I’ll take the towels from Mai and go run into the bathroom really quick. See if I can’t get this stuff off. Its really uncomfortable” He replied. His antennae twitched again in discomfort. Really this stuff felt nasty, he was just glad that it didn’t get all over his flower. “Although… really thank you Kingston”
With that the fey slipped off, intent on cleaning himself off, although he did find a lying on a bush of all things.
"Rigged or not, it still looks like it could be fun. Let us try? OH! And we can catch skyfish! I do like that game." She agreed. She couldn't remember picking pumpka, but then, she had one and one was enough!
Suddenly a little girl shoved a plushie at Salem. "Well, that girl was not fully wrong." She said, then poked the plushie. "You are cute. A very cute little vespercat plushie." She wandered away a couple steps towards the skyfish game, but paused when someone handed her a lollipop. "Oh? thank you."
Kingston:
The grimm smiled at his new friends. He was afraid that Mai wouldn't like him, and then when he met Ren, he wanted to make a good impression on him too. but it seemed he didn't need to worry about anything. "That's a strange looking locket." Kingston leaned over to peer at the object Vanna dropped. "The pictures were scratched out. That's kind of sad." He shrugged. But there were a lot of strange things at the festival, so who knew?
He then looked at Mai when she brought out the lollipop. He reached into his own bucket. He had one, didn't he? Wait... was this a bag of cotton candy? He pulled out the plastic wrapped candy. "Well now. Want to trade?" He chuckled.
"Oh, if you're going to wash up, we can wait for you here, Ren. Then maybe we should all find some games to play, But we'll wait for you, Ren."
Vega:
There were lots of cute games around. Vega was looking at a ring toss game when the senior running the game asked if he'd like to play. "Yeah!" He hopped up onto a crate supplied for shorter students and took the offered rings. He missed one, but the other 2 landed on the pegs. "Yay!" He cheered. He was given a red and black child looking bat plush. He took it and started running around. "Na na na na na na BAT BOY!" He spotted what looked to be an abandoned plush. "Let's go rescue that one!" He ran over toit and scooped it up before realizing that it was a super creepy doll that looked like it was staring at him.
Meadow:
"That wasn't too bad!" Meadow didn't want her to feel too bad about not winning something spectacular. "Two matching plushies? Neat." He was going to catch up and get more plushies then her. "What game do you want to try next?" He was about to reach for her hand when he saw something dangling from a tack near by. "Cute!" He picked up a little paper ghost. "I need to hang this up in the window!"
Charon:
Charon saw a bunch of girls, and decided to chat them up. They giggled when talking to him and things seemed to be going well. He asked them for their phone numbers, but rather then giving him their number, they handed him a jar of goo and ran off giggling. Had... had he just gotten tricked?
Keahi:
Keahi was done with their nap and started walking around again. Was there a game they could play? Keahi found a small booth where you were supposed to pop balloons, and played a round. They won a candy apple.
It had taken a little while, but Anora had finally calmed Cerris down from the excitement of new familiars. He was led toward a new booth where he had managed to get both some nasty candy and a plushie! The plushie was rather cute, it looked like a skeleton just like he did!
Anora smiled, glad that he was able to score a plushie. She had hardly even noticed when she had managed to win one as well! She knew she was a little old for toys at this point, but it was still a nice little surprise, even if the plushie itself was a little strange looking.
Cass waited for a little bit for his first booth. He was a bit happier with what he got from this one, and he had to admit that the cotton candy was actually kind of pretty too. He nibbled a bit of it, wishing his sister was here with him. He looked off, trying to find the next booth to go to.
Arari must have picked a pretty good booth! Not only did they get some candy, but they also got a plushie this time! They gave the plushie a slight squeeze before pulling out the candies and eating one. So sweet!
Ashai was kind of nervous about going to the festival. She was sad that her brother didn't come and that her parents didn't seem to want to be bothered with showing up either. She knew she could have come with Tambre and her family, but she felt like she was a burden on them. However, she had managed to convince their babysitter, Lasia, to take her. Or more like, Lasia had convinced her to go.
Lasia smiled, glad that she was able to get Ashai to go to the festival. The poor girl had had so many family problems and she wanted the girl to be able to forget for at least one night. She managed to grab them both pails, handing Ashai the one with the treat in it, hoping to cheer her up.
Kyleigh was definitely ready to go home. She played one more game and bought herself another bat plushie. She really like those things. She wasn't even sure why she thought they were cute. They just were.

Taegan contemplated one more sweet treat before heeding the call of his bed. That red cotton candy looked pretty tasty. Maybe it was cherry or something. He hoped it wasn't a trick flavor like blood or something. That would just be weird.

Despite the sheer amount of sugar she had already consumed, Bibiana was beginning to get tired. One more game and she would go home. This game was a pop the balloon game and she won a small nezubat plushie. She giggled and cuddled her two plushies to her chest happily as she headed home.

"Alright, I think it's time to go home, bud. What about you?" Drayden asked as he picked up one more ghost for their collection. He was just a little bit sad they weren't able to get all of them, but maybe there would be more next year.
Gryffyn nodded sleepily and watched his dad pick out another ghost. He jumped a little when something nudged his leg but it was just a vespercat. With a gummy? Um...okay then...

Aellys grinned and tugged Byony to another table with even more ghosts on it. "Look! Want to get some more to take home?" he asked. After this, they should probably head home.

She couldn't help herself. The candy apples were calling out to her. They wanted to be eaten, and who was she to deny them? She bought herself one and nibbled as she turned to the girls. "One more game, and then time to go home, darlings," she told them with a smile.
Crux nodded and rushed off, one hand gripping Maylis' hand tightly. "One last trick or treat booth, MayMay?" she asked, getting a nod in return. She stepped up to the booth first, but she just got a rock for her troubles. "Boo. Hope you have better luck."
Maylis squeaked as Crux yanked her off to follow the hybrid. She felt bad for her sister as she won a rock, and stepped up to take her turn. She won a plushie! "Look how cute!" she giggled and hugged Crux before they headed back to Dani to go home.

Tabe was given a trick and she started to cry. Then she was given a strange plushie weird, what was this thing??
