Coralie was not quite as lucky as the rest of her family at the fishing game. First, she'd somehow gotten tangled in the string that was tied to the hook. Then, while casting, she'd almost hit the demon in the nose.
By the time she managed to get the hook into the barrel and pulled back up, she didn't have it in her to resent getting such a terrible prize. She'd gotten something and now they could all keep moving and she could stop worrying about exploding from sheer embarrassment.

Beaming when Quilo wrapped an arm around her, her tail wiggled in response. Maybe a Nezubat would favor her? Oh, oh! Then they could all match and have their pets be friends, just like them! Okay, haunted house time!
Ella hadn't expected someone to approach her, nor did she see the hand rubbing her hair in her near future. The hybrid pouted when the person complimented her outfit, stepping backwards as she attempted to avoid any more head rubs. Didn't they know that was rude?
"Oh." She tried to fake a smile as a scary turnip was handed to her, immediately placing it in her pail and under her candy in an attempt to hide it. Alright, back to the matter at hand; the haunted house. Tarin luckily took lead and dragged them right to where they needed to be!
Suddenly, her head was invaded, and Ella screeched in surprise. Oh no! A monster was out to ge- wait! Her eyes lit up as she saw the edge of a wing, a hand raising to touch what she assumed was a .... a Nezubat!
"Ah! Look look! I have a friend, too!" She chirped in enthusiasm, reaching up to rub the cuties head again.

While Willow was busy being chased by an angry Pumpka, Nex turned his attention back to his new familiar, who had something sticking from his mouth. Shifting, the boy extended his hand, tapping the familiars face and scrunching his nose when a turnip fell into his hand. Not what he expected..
And then Korv was pulling them. Nex trailed along, eventually spotting an alley and yanking Korv into it, causing Willow to tumble in.
"We lost it." He announced once he had a chance to peek out the alley, seeing neither a Pumpka or his fox. It'd catch up. The fox, that was.
nepsah
Willow, for once, didn't mind when the two pulled him along, frantically checking behind himself. as they ran. He loved familiars, so why was this happening? Weren't they supposed to sense his own affection and love him in return?! As they ran the screaming died down, until finally Nex yanked them in an alley. Releasing Korv's hand, he bent over, hands on knees as he panted for breath.
Silence followed, and he began to look up, a grateful smile on his face.
"Thank- AAAIEEEEE!" Right in the middle of his sentence the Pumpka appeared behind him, yowling even louder than before. It seemed someone took pity as a treat was placed in his pail, but Willow had other things to worry about!!
nepsah
Tengu's eyes flashed wide for a brief second as his brother spoke, glancing down at the familiar. Wait? Was Des actually offering him the cutie? He visibly perked up, unable to stop himself as he looked at his brother.
"Really? Are you sure?" The hybrid extended his pail for the Flitterat to crawl into, the tiniest little smile on his face. His first pet, and it was from his brother! He failed to notice someone try and hand him a treat, too busy gazing at his new pet.
nepsah
Eques took her hand, firmly wrapping his fingers around hers. Flapping his wings before folding them back into himself. He was about to turn around and say something as he led them to the haunted house when instead a mouthful of fur entered his mouth. Wha- Was the fur screaming?! Yanking his head back, he used a free hand to swat at his face, flinching as the think attached to his hand. Extending his hand, he blinked as a Nezubat shifted onto the back of his hand, releasing a soft squeak.
"Oh. Hello there. Sorry about that." He murmured, watching as the Nezubat cocked its head to the side before scurrying up his arm and nuzzling into his cheek. Laughing faintly, the hybrid rubbed its head before shrugging.
"Well, wouldn't hurt to bring home a new friend."
Lady Argentum Draconis
Whoop, Kirket said the magical name; Maple. Her features softened, head lowering to examine her pail as she gave the tiniest of nods, tail flicking lazily behind herself.
"Yes, Maple." Her voice had softened considerably, eyes flicking upward to glance at Kirket. "She'd love the plushies I've won lately, I'm sure." And to be honest, that was the only reason she was actually participating. Her daughter would love everything she had to offer.
As they spoke Ava spotted a tiny child approaching her. They waddled up, dropped a treat into her pail, and fled after a polite smile was offered. Blinking, Ava glanced at her pail before making a mental note to find that child later and thank them.
nepsah
Kappa was beyond relieved when Morin suggested they leave the crowded area, hands reaching up and holding Morin's sleeve tightly. His heart was racing, but it slowly settled as he realized the one person he felt safest around was here. Protecting him.
He nodded hastily, squirming to pull Morin anywhere that wasn't.... here. In his scramble he almost missed the gentle rubbing against his legs, freezing and looking down to see... a Vespercat? It smiled up at him, mewling and leaning up to be picked up. Kappa nervously glanced at Morin before releasing Morin's sleeve, scooping the cat up.
"U-Um. Is this yours?" He questioned Morin as the Vespercat bumped their forehead against his chin, purring violently in his hold.
Nasaiki
Tobias was planning to leave, but a familiar voice caused his head to snap up. Without thinking (and ignoring the sound of something soft hitting his pail), he leapt up, rushing to Yue and throwing himself against her, hugging her tightly. He didn't say anything, lost in the fact that finally Yue was here!
Nasaiki
Fakir had begun trick-or-treating once more, and luckily for him it didn't go as badly as before. A plushie was handed to him at the first house he visited, and while Fakir wasn't too much of a fan of plushies he knew someone who was, and would absolutely be excited to see the present he'd have to bear.

What Falsetto hadn't expected was, as they walked, for a Spectrefox to nuzzle into her. Blinking down at the creature, Falsetto extended her hand, raising an eyebrow as it hummed and nuzzled into her palm. What was it with festivals and always having animals begging for homes? Well, one pet wasn't too bad.
"Okay, I get the point." She murmured softly before patting her leg, letting the fox follow.
no one
Charlotte trailed after Falsetto, grinning the entire time. She practically squealed when a ghost toy was placed in her pail, pulling it out to examine it. Oh! Awesome! Smiling down at her new familiar, the hybrid hurried to catch up with Falsetto, releasing another squeal when she spotted her friends new pet.

Korv tumbled into the alley after Nex, taking this moment to gasp for breath. "Willow what happened??" He papped at his friend, then looked to Nex as his friend commented that they'd lost it. "Oh no, your fox is gone too." He frowned... though a sound at the entrance of the alley caught his attention.
Oh no. The pumpka was back... trailed by another spectrefox!? He held onto Willow, about to scream again but the new fox stepped in front of them, growling at the howling pumpka.
He nodded, watching the mutated flitterat change pails. "Yes, I mean it." He eyed the person sticking cotton candy their way and opted to take it for Tengu, then placed it in his pail. "Here. Someone was trying to give you this."
His attention was brought away when a Vespercat threaded itself between his legs, purring as it nuzzled its face against one of his shins. Great. Was he just an animal magnet today? Well... he did like cats... but this was probably someone's pet. "What is it."
Great tone there, Des.
He nodded, the softening features did not escape his notice. So Maple was a relaxation key~ Good! He'd have to keep that in mind for the future. "I'm sure she will!" He waved a little at the shy child before they disappeared, then looked back to Ava. "So, how is she settling in?"
nah not taking a prize for kirket
As he was wandering the festival, he noticed a pile of pumpkins that seemed to have something... off about them. Curiously, he wandered over to it and squinted, examining the pile for whatever it was that seemed to be different from a regular pile of pumpkins...
He didn't have to wait long, eventually the entire pile scattered in a series of eerie shrieks, leaving behind one tiny, frightened pumpka in front of him. Oh! It was a pile of pumpkas, not a pile of pumpkins! Corben blinked at the tiny frightened thing, then squatted down to get on it's level. Immediately it calmed down and even scooted forward a bit....
Well! He'd have a little familiar to give Leif when they met up!
With that game done, Leif moved onto the next! Beanbag toss! He managed to get two out of three into the holes. The game master handed him a little thing of cotton candy for his effort, and then sent him on his way. Mmm, delicious. What to do next, he wondered?
He spotted another game, the dart toss, and scurried over to wait in line. Maybe he'd get a plushie this time!
Well, while he was waiting for the girl to answer him, he noticed a Pumpka sneaking up behind her. He blinked, then fluttered his wings until they spread out to draw the thing's attention.
Soon enough the pumpka levitated over, and joined the grumpy one from earlier.... He was just going to end up collecting a bunch of these wasn't he?
Kiessi admired the bracelet for a moment when they heard the words of the other child, tilting their head, a bright smile lifted at the ends of their lips. "It does, doesn't it? I really like it." Smiling, they then pointed at the little plushie, giving it a small squeeze. "Hey look, our plushies max too! That's pretty cool." Offering they're hand, "I'm Kiessi, what's your name? If you want, you can come along with me, I think it'd be fun with more people!" They motioned toward the other lines and tugged gently on the boy's hand to get into line for the next one.

Odessa waited in line for what seemed much longer than what it was. When she finally got to the front and was met with a strange little candy poo, she frowned somewhat, "Well... that's definitely awkward.." In the end she shrugged, at least it was candy, right? However, she felt something moving around in her pail and glanced down to see a little flitterat poke it's head out, squeaking at her. She blinked, "Hello Little Guy!" She patted it's head and then looked at her fox again that was following behind. She had never had pets before, so this was definitely an interesting night!

Tarin lead her group through the crowd. Her bat having once again retreated back up to her head, which was far more comfortable than it hanging off her clothes where she was afraid she was going to knock it off and then someone would step on it! Poor thing didn't deserve that. Thinking of it, she needed to come up with a name. The worst part of anything was picking a name.
"What do you think I should name my bat?" she asked looking back at Quilo and Ella. They were both way more creative than her. She then stopped and pointed. "Look a sign! It says the haunted house is that way!" she tugged on Quilo's hand and drug him and by proxy Ella towards the gap in the booths.
===============
Tarin frowned as someone dropped gum into her pail and she realized it was that horrible kind. She signed. Why did people have to give out such horrible gum. Not that she was much of a gum chewer anyway. It just seemed rude.
She gave out a small yelp as something swooped towards her head and the bat on her head chittered at it, taking off. She realized it was another nezubat and the two flew around each other before hers came back to settle on her head, while the other went to perch on Ella's hat.
Tarin blinked and then laughed. "Now we all match."
Along his route to the next candy booth, Laurel paused to observe how others were playing the games nestled in-between them. He knew he really liked playing the balloon pop game and the ring toss game, but he'd never really branched out further than that. Maybe this year he should try to find new games he liked to play? He pondered this and leaned to the side, before deciding to go forward with this new idea. The freshling turned and headed toward a guessing game that he'd passed . It was something about picking a number on a card and being surprised by what was behind it. You were guaranteed a prize, you just didn't know what it was until the person behind the counter flipped the mystery card over.
"Hm... I'll pick number seventeen! It's a big number!" He exclaimed, pointing toward the card he wanted. However, the smile on his face turned to that of shock as he was handed a bright red gummy candy that looked like poo! Ew, that was so gross! He mustered a smile, though, and thanked the man behind the counter, before taking a curious nibble out of the top of the candy. Cherry, but the kind that tasted like cough medicine! Who came up with this stuff? Doctors? This had to be the worst candy ever made! Yuck!

Sascha laughed along with Dahlia as they left the balloon pop booth and moved toward a bench so they could sit down for a rest. Well, his daughter had much better aim than he did, she'd won a candy bar to prove it! His throws had been pretty sloppy, but he knew that she didn't mind, she was here for the fun, and he supposed he was, too. Being among the crowds wasn't as bad as he had thought it was going to be, which was a pleasant surprise. Maybe it was just his childhood memories that made him think that this was such a nerve-wracking event? He didn't know for sure.
His mind went idle for a moment while Dahlia enjoyed her chocolate, and caught the sight of a small animal approaching his foot. Was that a... Four winged Flitterat? Oh, the poor thing! He scooped it up and gave it a pat, only to wince as it plopped a rock into his palm. Gross, it was covered in slobber!
Dahlia was very pleased with how good she was at playing the balloon pop game, even if her daddy hadn't won anything matchy-matchy like at the bean bag toss booth. She nibbled on her chocolate bar as Sascha took her toward the bench and hopped up next to him. Mmm, what made chocolate taste so good? Maybe it was magic? She kicked her feet as she thought, before turning to offer Sascha a bite, and gasping at the Flitterat in his hand.
"Oh my gosh! They're so cute!" She squeaked, completely forgetting about the chocolate bar. "They have four wings and little pink eyes! Eeee! Can we keep them, daddy? Please? I promise that I'll take good care of them!"
She watched Sascha, giving her best puppy eyes as possible, and cheered as he nodded. Yay! A new pet to bring home! What would her little brother and dada think when they came home? Wouldn't they be excited?

With her new Nezubat buddy, dubbed Eli, happily situated amongst the fluff on her shoulder, Sequoia once again set out in search of more Nezubat plushies. She passed the same booths again, her eyes carefully scanning for any sign of those fuzzy little faces, and wandered curiously over to a table she hadn't seen before. Were they late setting this one up? She leaned forward to inspect the table and jumped back when a senior popped out from under it. Augh, a stupid scare prank! How could she have not seen that coming? She whined, her ears pinning back, and watched as the senior offered her a chocolate with a smile. She took the candy warily and wandered toward the side to look it over.
"Hmm... Not my kind of chocolate, but I'll save it for later." She sighed, a subtle smile crossing her features as Eli nuzzled her cheek in response. "Let's keep going, okay? I don't want to get spooked by that weird senior again! They were creepy!"

Pepper weaved her way through the crowd, a caretaker keeping a close eye on her as she made a beeline for the nearest house. To her everlasting delight they handed her a bag of eyeballs and the most adorable little nezubat plus. She flashed the older nightmare her brightest smile as she thanked him. Both things got pushed inside her pail and she was on the move again. Maybe now she should try to play one of the games. Or maybe it would be a better idea to visit a few more houses before she started in on the games?
Looking around, Pepper spotted a bright green bapho in line for one of the games. Ooooh, that one looked particularly fun! Grabbing a hold of her caretaker, she dragged the poor woman over with her to the game with her and then they were set to wait patiently in line. This was so fun.
A basketball game was set up nearby and Ares went to try his hand at it. He managed to get a couple hoops into the net but all he got for his trouble was some nastee gum. Shooting the owner of that booth a dirty look, he chucked it into his pail and turned around to survey a few more of the games. Surely there was something that was giving out some actual candy and not this nasty stuff. Though, he could use it to tease some of the younger students. . . or maybe he could use it as a substitute? Hmm. . .he thought about it as he wandered away from the basketball game. There would be someone around here whose pail he could slip the gum into.

"Trick or Treat!" Hearing another thunk in her basket, Odessa smiled and hurried away so other people could go next. Looking down into her bucket though, she blinked at what was inside. It seemed a lot of people liked giving her Tricks. Oh well, she supposed it was better than nothing, and overall, she was having a good time.
Quilo shrugged. Tarin had a terrible talent with names--that is, she didn't have one at all. She seemed to think it was her biggest flaw. Quilo? Well, he was pretty good with names. He had a them with all of his big stuffed animals, for example. He named them after the initials in his parents's names (except for the mysterious Surviving One, whom he represented with P--for parent, right?). But that was the theme for plushies. He didn't have a theme for pets. He'd never expected to get one other than maybe a Skyfish or something. He looked up at his own Nezubat, almost missing the drama of the new bat. "Aww, it's so cute! Congratulations, Ella! Now we really do match!" He wondered briefly if they should switch the name of their little group to the Academy Six--one for each of them and their Nezubats, right?
He held out his bucket to a passing grown-up with a winsome smile and a quick duck of the head to avoid an unwanted head-pat. "Trick-or-treat!" He was rewarded with a bag of caramel eyeballs. He opened up the bag and offered one to each of the girls. "I'm naming my bat Startle. Because he's so brightly colored! Dunno about yours, though."

Sara blinked in shock at Neptune. He...didn't seem angry that her goat had eaten his prizes. Sure, they were ugly prizes, but shouldn't he be more...upset? Instead he seemed concerned. She picked up a turnip from her own basket, newly laid by a passerby, and examined it. "It doesn't look lahk it has any preservatives. Ah don't think it'll hurt her too bad." She made a face. "But we should all apologahz to Maria after this. As Ah recall, turnips give goats gas somethin' awful." Yes, it was going to be fragrant this evening. She made a note to tie Pest's leash to the bed and leave the window open. It would be chilly, but at least the smell could get out.
Sara stood up and kissed Neptune's cheek. "You're very sweet, for worryin' about Pest lahk that." And she meant it--she'd only known the kidden for a little over a week now, but she'd grown very fond of the little monster in that time. She was rather endearing, when all was said and done. As was her Neptune.
She held out her pail to a passerby, who seemed to agree with the Chimera from before that she was too old for this. She got some nasty gum, but someone else dropped a little plushie in her bucket. She smiled and held it up to her face. "See? Told yah the brown ones look lahk me."

"You would not do well in Boreas, then." Ustule made a face. "Euros ees mahch too warm. I meess the cold." She smiled smugly at his revelation about his sibling from Zayen. He hadn't proved a darn thing! "Thet just means thet they talk wrong in Zayen, too!" She knew she was being infuriating, and she didn't care. Ganymede seemed to be trying to test her. Well, if he kept trying, then she was going to respond in like kind.
She held out her bucket to a passing adult. The candy that dropped in was of the cheap kind, not really all that good. The flavor of those tended to be off. But that didn't matter, because alongside it came a stuffed bat. Her smile deepened just a tiny bit. There was one bat left, she knew it. She almost had the complete set! "So where ees your brahther, then? Why ees he not trick-or-treating with you?"
The crowds were getting thicker, and the handle Xeno had on his father's hand tightened, as did the claws of the bat on his shirt. None of them wanted to get separated from each other! But even while the crowds thickened, so too did the candy. The people here were very nice. He liked them!
A lot of the people here looked like they'd been here for a while. Most of them had brought stuff to do. One lady carved pumpkins, while another one knitted. Playful banter batted back and forth between them. Xeno held out his bucket with the hopeful mantra, and was rewarded by a box of raisins tossed in absent-mindedly. He scowled at that, but what could he do? At least it was another treat!
The bowling game looked like a nice place to go next. A rubber mat had been rolled out on a patch of dirt, with plastic pins set up. A cord around the mat served as a gutter, while a rubber ball served as...well, as the bowling ball. "You know the rules?" the Baphomet at the bowling game said.
Callessa nodded. "I'm assuming I don't need to take my shoes off for this, though, do I?"
The Baphomet laughed. "Not if you don't want to! Go on, give it a go!"
She knocked down eight pins with her first roll and the other two with the other. The Baphomet passed her a whirl of cotton candy with a salute. "Nicely done!"
While he was standing in line, a little blue-green demon came up behind him. He waved shyly, not sure how the academy students would react to his eyes... The kids at the orphanage had been okay after a while, but only if he didn't look directly at them. Not that he really could, his vision was split in many different ways.
When it came to be his turn, he managed to score himself a little green and black bracelet. Oh good! He slipped it on over his fur, admittedly a little disappointed that it sunk right into it almost completely... but oh well. He'd show his dad later! Curiously he watched what the little demon got during her playthrough...

hellooooo pepper~! and leif is an imp just so you know~[/qote]
Neptune sighed in relief, oh good, poor Pestilence wouldn't get sick from those terrible turnips. He probably should have found a trash can for them or something, but they were just so freaky! He didn't even want to touch them, honestly. "O-oh no, th-they do?" His ears dropped. Poor Maria. He'd definitely apologize to her for his negligence!
The kiss just seemed to short circuit him entirely. An immediate rush of heat to his face at least alerted him to the fact that if the sun was up, she'd be able to tell just how red his face was. "A-ah, w-w-well-- I- um... I wouldn't want her to g-g-get sick..! O-oranythinglikethatohgosh...." He nodded numbly to her comment about the bats. The brown one was more accurate... but the orange in his reminded him of her horns.
"W-w-what sh-should we do next?" He asked, mentally trying to calm himself down. He still wasn't used to those cheek kisses. Good grief. He was so distracted by that, that he didn't even notice someone tossing a rock into his pail as they passed by.
Wouldn't do well in Boreas... no kidding he wouldn't! "Well duh." He rolled his eyes with a snort. Though her comment about people in Zayen talking wrong brought him out of his little fit. "Okay, what about all the other real kids that talk like us?" He quirked a brow... not that he really knew any others but he was going to continue this stupid argument for a bit longer just because he could.
He mimicked her, earning another bit of purple cotton candy. Perfect. He eyed the plush she got, wondering if she was trying to collect them all or something... Oh, he could have fun with that. "He's probably busy. Vaden's a senior so he's got boring grown-up stuff to do." He shrugged, then looked around for something else to do--
"...Actually he's over there." He pointed to the all-too-familiar form of Vaden across the way. He had a new flitterat to show off! And a poo gummy to stick in his pocket. Perfect. He started off without really addressing Ustule on the manner. She could follow along if she wanted.
For a moment, Coralie forgot her resolution to not try to outrace her children. She darted ahead to a booth that was doing a simple, old-fashioned trick or treat routine.
With smile, she accepted a beautiful cone of cotton candy.

Coralie was not quite as lucky as the rest of her family at the fishing game. First, she'd somehow gotten tangled in the string that was tied to the hook. Then, while casting, she'd almost hit the demon in the nose.
