“Fine… fine if it means that much to you, then I suppose you can make me a plushie to add to my collection” Vanna mock sighed like it was the worst thing in the world. He did however groan when Mai and Kingston started plotting. He’d worry about his reputation but the point was that he was rather effective at what he did, and like he said unpredictability had kept him alive all this time. Still he should probably warn Yami of all the crazy things that were probably about to happen in his café.

It was about then that the night decided to get more interesting when someone dumped something on Ren. Mai got in the way and stopped it and then Vanna had to get in the way and catch whatever the kid was throwing at them. He gave said kid a look from behind Mai and the kid thought it was a better idea to run away. Geez, youth today.


“Well brother always complains that he has to deal with a bunch of annoying people all day long and-“Mai started.

“I do not Mai”

“Yes absolutely and those that didn’t pass Vanna could do one of those boss moves and Yami would just escort them out” She finished. “Oh… I would be absolutely happy to give you my number.” Mai replied with a happy tone. After all she was always looking to make new friends even if she really wasn’t very good at it.

It was then she saw someone moving up behind Ren. She unfortunately didn’t get to him in time but she did still stop the whole container from falling on him. The kid freaked out at being caught started throwing things at her… which Vanna caught and ran away.


Ren nodded showing he totally agreed with Kingston about the whole meeting up. He would be happy to give the grimm his phone number. Tonight wasn’t turning out so bad… of course now that he had said that the universe would probably deem to prove him wrong in some manner.

It was about then that some one walked by and dumped a thing of slime on him… oh he hadn’t missed that. Luckily Mai wrestled the container out of their hand before the whole thing was dumped on him. You know he hadn’t missed that from the time before he had become friends with. Suddenly a handkerchief was thrown at him and Vanna pointed towards his head. With an embarrassed blush Ren went to at least get the goop off his antennae.


“Does thwart Lace when it comes to dragging me around the mall count? I guess I share a like of reading with Samhain or playing various card games” Salem replied. There were some other things but hardly things that fit into the scope of this conversation. “Yeah I guessed force my way out is another way to lable it. Ah no I didn’t not bully my way out this time I kind of just took over.” He took a sip out of the offered drink and looked over at a nearby stall.

Accessories weren’t his thing. In fact he hated wearing them. They were more a Samhain thing but he supposed it was Haunted Hallows after all. He could try to be festive. With that in mind he picked out a simple bracelet and paid the vendor for it. Lace would say that it even matched his colors.




Well he had kind of started entertaining the idea of finding homes for the cats. His house had a lot of familiars and really it was only the top two floors above the café and he did already have Shogi and Uno on top of them… and he was going to help raise a poor fennekit and another vespercat… ah… it could make a poor little hybrid’s head spin.

“well I hadn’t yet, but I was thinking about it. I live on top of a café and I definitely want tons of room for all of them to play. Since you helped me soo much and were the ones to rescue them from under that building. Would you like to take two?”

‘aww what an adorable pair of freshlings’ an older. what Amatsu assumed was a granny type, lady replied. She pinched Amatsu's cheeks before apparently giving him a plushie and walking off… old people were soooooooo weird. He turned to Lapis with the weirdest expression.



“hmm over there?” Xiaoshi quietly repeated and looked over to where Xiaoshi was gesturing. It seemed like it was a spooky hedge mage. She could totally handle that. They tended to put all the really creepy things in the haunted houses/buildings type of things or so she had been warned. A hedge mage would be a nice start. "Yeah that would be a lovely place to start."

Of course as she went to move towards the hedge mage something curled around her feet and she had to use her tails again to keep from tripping. Looking down was a fennekit. It looked up indignantly at her as if to say “pick me up. Her companion on her shoulder also cheeped as if to agree. What was with the familiars today.



“then I’ll definitely give you the next one that comes my way” Nasai beamed carefully reaching down to pick up Cherie’s revenant. She made sure she had a really secure hold and that it was comfortable. She didn’t want any harm to come to it. It felt softer than she had expected two. It was about then that another revenant showed up making pitiful or at least nasai classified it as pitiful sounds. Nasai set Cherie’s revenant down again and walked over to the little guy leaning down. It sniffed her hand before twirling around her legs.

Welp… Revenant gained and hey it looked like there was a plushie haphazardly just stuffed in the bush it was next to. Nasai picked both of them up before offering Cherie the plushie. “Plushie for you”

Congratulations! You are now no longer eligible to win any other prizes from the ORP aside from trinkets/familiars.

Perigor asked no questions, merely following where his new friend led. He noticed that Prometheus was pushing Xei's wheelchair instead of letting his brother wheel himself around. Was that normal, or was it weird? People had someone to push them in the movies, but in real life, they tended to propel themselves. Oh well. Peri didn't care all that much about the answer, merely keeping in step with Prometheus and Xei. He looked out ahead of them and nodded. "The guessing game, that sounds like a good place!" he said. Someone brushed past him and handed him two objects, a goblet shaped like a pumpkin and another cycloptic plushie. As Perigor touched the goblet, an ugly crack formed in the side. "Urgh," he said.



Histeol followed the sound of Xei's wheelchair, allowing Haint to establish a safe distance between them and the machine. "Is that the same one that used to be run by our old science teacher?" he asked. Someone handed him a lollipop, which he promptly put in his bucket. "Well, at least they're not throwing stuff at us," he sighed.



Ustule nodded. "Yes," she said. "Thet ees en improvement." She looked at Perigor's plushies solemnly. "Yes, I cen give you two buttons. I assume you need one een green end one een orange?"

No one handed Ustule anything, but she was fine with that, because at that moment her train of revenants increased by a third. It dropped a tooth on her toe, which she gingerly picked up. "Erm, thenk you." She looked over at Prometheus. "How ees your revenant doing, by the way?"





Cal's turn again to guess which pumpkin had a prize in it. She was not in luck, however--the pumpkin she picked turned out to have one of those really cheap pieces of plastic that broke easily. She sighed. "I'd feel better about these things if a good manufacturer made some," she muttered to Eidil.



Eidil nodded in sympathy. "Yeah, that's a bummer," she said. "Hey, I think we should maybe move on after this," she added. "That way, we give other people an opportunity to enjoy this game." She flashed the vendor a smile. "It's been a lot of fun!"

Eidil carefully chose her pumpkin, settling her new bat on her shoulder at the same time. She nodded with satisfaction at the result--a stuffed bat with a stick of gum tied to it. "Thanks!" she said to the vendor. "We'll recommend you to other people we meet!"



In the end, they both agreed to try their luck at a memory card game. Anchriesel went first and did well--he managed to match one pair. He claimed a bag of eye candies as his prize and stepped aside for Zalir's turn.

Quilo's enthusiasm was definitely lagging, but he rallied himself to ask Yaviss what the Goblin wanted to do next. Yaviss gave his suggestion and Quilo nodded. Ah, yes, the pumpkin luck game. Pick up the pumpkin, any pumpkin, and see what you get for a prize. Pretty simple. Quilo went first and won a stick of cotton candy. It was the same color as Ella was. He sniffed and put it away hurriedly, hoping no one had seen that.



Yaviss's luck at the pumpkin game wasn't as good as Quilo's. His own pumpkin bagged him a pack of gum that didn't look all that good. But perhaps his luck was greater than he thought. He looked down at his new fluffy cat to see a slender green one sniffing the black cat's face. They seemed to be getting along well together, a pleasant surprise. Yaviss smiled. "Want to come home with us, stranger?"

He turned to Quilo when he heard a sniff and noticed that the Geist hybrid's face was changing color. Yaviss frowned. What did someone do in these circumstances? "Hey, man, are you okay?"



Sound Lee was definitely getting tired, though not enough to leave quite yet. After all, Vederat didn't have everything he wanted yet. He hoisted his bucket up higher on his shoulder as they continued along their way. The next house was more hit-and-miss than the others. Once again, Sound Lee found himself getting the short end of the stick with a glass eye.



This house was fantastic! Vederat loved the skeleton theme, with skeletons of several different races dressed up in costumes and standing around as if at a party. Furthermore, Ved got a couple of very nice treats--he got a lollipop and a stuffed cat.



Aurabelle was not normally the sort to pay much attention to how other people were feeling, but ever since getting friends, Aura had found it...useful sometimes to take note of what was going on in their posse. It was pretty plain, for example, that Lee was getting tired. After thanking the adult for a stuffed spider and a box of raisins (yes to the first, ew to the second), Aura fell back to talk to the Bakeneko while their Imp friend went out ahead. "Do you need to go home now?" they asked.

Oriset shuddered. "You're right, Jie," she said. "But the way out is forward." With that in mind, she held her lantern up high and began to explore the room. This was a puppet-maker's workshop, with strings and limbs everywhere. The puppets ranged in size from the size of a child to the size of an adult Daydream or Nightmare. A workman's bench at the far end of the room was covered in pliers, scissors, pins, wrenches, and a pile of prizes. Three stuffed animals and four sticks of cotton candy covered a pile of bones of various sizes. Ori waved her hands at the lot. "Well, I think these are for us. Who wants to take the trick this time?"

In the end, Naihilus volunteered to take the trick. Ori took a stick of red cotton candy and examined the desk for some clue. They couldn't see a door--not yet, anyway--so they couldn't leave yet.



Wyrdda took a stick of cotton candy as well. It wasn't her favorite treat, but it would be a nice pick-me-up after all of this. She was with the Bakeneko--her own hackles were raised and had been since the skull room. It was going to take a long time for her to calm down. Maybe we should have a cool-down party after all of this, she signed to Oriset. Our room, maybe, after we all get home? We could watch something innocent and sweet?



Jie listened to the translation Ori gave for Wyrdda while she clutched a stick of cotton candy and a stuffed skeleton. "That sounds like a beautiful idea, Wyrdda!" she chirped. "If you've got a laptop, I know a place we can get rent some DVDs." She grinned sheepishly. "Being an entire culture cut off from the rest of the world, you have a lot of stuff to catch up on."



Kuni wasn't sure if he was in the mood for a party just now. "I dunno," he said. "Maybe. May I decide later?" He took a skeleton that looked unhealthily radioactive, as well as a stick of bright cotton candy.



Nai was left with the last skeleton plush, which was rather cute, actually--he wondered what race it was supposed to represent. A hybrid, he decided--the skull was wrong for almost any race with a tail besides Goblins--and swept the bones off of the table. As he did, he revealed a note. "We're not out of the house yet," he said. "We have to get out of here first. Okay, so, 'what does not belong here'?"

"Tally-ho!" Gilly called out as her vespercat dove into the crowd, it's pumpkin-hued coat making it easy to spot. When Gilly caught up to it, it was sitting in front of a huge vat that hummed and seemed to be full of colorful smoky wisps of cotton. A senior baphomet with what appeared to be a stack of paper cones on each of his horns was dancing and twirling about in front of the vat, sticking one of the paper cones in and dancing around as though he were trying to stir a cauldron while on hot coals.
Gilly watched him until he finally stopped, and clapped her hands in delight as he pulled out the paper cone, which was now brimming with colorful, fluffy cotton candy. Winking, he reached over the vat and handed it to Gilly, who took it eagerly. "That's so cool, mister! Do it again!"





This time when the vespercat took off, Zoe was eager to follow her friend through the crowds of colorful people and lights and booths. When she stopped beside Gilly, she watched in mesmerized fascination at the way the cotton candy artist deftly shaped it into the most attractive shape. When her friend asked him to do it again, he smiled and pulled a cone from his other horn. twirling it in his hands and performing a series of flashy dance moves before pulling it out again, piled high with fluffy cotton candy. He handed it to her and gave her a small wave. Shyly waving back, she turned and tore off a small piece with her teeth; it was the best she had ever had. Maybe Gilly's cat WAS magically good at finding good stuff!





Ruari was still pondering on how he was going to use the scream bar (if it in fact DID have magic), when he noticed a group of freshlings running eagerly toward a particular door, where a smiling imp couple were handing out large, colorful bags of candy. He quickened his pace and came up right behind the freshling group, towering over them as they stood there. When the last one had gone, he stepped up and smiled a nice smile and held his pail out. "A joyous Haunted Hallows to you, lord and lady!"
The male's eyebrows shot up at seeing an older kid at his door, but the female simply melted at Ruari's words. "Oh my stars, what a CHARMING young man you are! Here, there's some candy for you!" Ruari nodded and took the large bag of candy corn, gave his most stately bow (not-so-stately as he tripped a little on his royal robe, dislodged when his friend jumped off of his shoulder) and waved at them in thanks as he walked off. Without missing a beat, the vespercat jumped back onto his shoulder and looked down it's nose with an air of smug approval at the large bag of candy corn.

Nashira:

"Um... I wouldn't say so, but if you find it enjoyable? I hope you aren't upsetting Lace when you do that though." Of course, she had never been dragged around by a friend to go shopping. Maybe it wasn't fun? She didn't know. "Well, are you having fun now?" She wondered, when Sam... no, Salem, looked at the next booth and picked up a bracelet.

She looked at her own wrist before holding it up to show him her own. "We match now." She was smiling ever so faintly. While she was showing her bracelet to Salem, someone sneaked a strange bottle of liquid into her bucket. But then, someone bumped it when trying to place a plushie in. The kid squeaked, tossed the plushie at her and ran. Nashira caught the little bat thing after it bounced off her chest. "...That was odd. But it's cute that people are sneaking presents into our buckets."



Kingston:

Kingston smiled at Vanna, but before he could say anything, some kids seemed to come over and dump some kind of slime on Ren. That was RUDE! The grimm found himself growling, and suddenly started chasing the kids as they ran away. He was half yelling, half barking at them, calling them punks, and several less savory things.

He came back a few minutes later, his tail fluffed out and he was miffed! It looked like Mai was doing damage control and helping Ren clean up. He sighed, but it was also kind of a growl. "They got away. I couldn't get them to apologize. I'm sorry, Ren." His ears folded back and he looked at the younger students. "I did manage to grab this from them though." He held up a purple bracelet. "It looks like we match, Mai." He said softly.



Vega:

Vega sat down in the grass away from the festivities to play with his familiars a little. He wanted to get to know them. His new fennekit was in his lap, and the flitterat was wandering near by. As he was petting his new furry friend, someone came by and offered him a sugar skull. A kid shouldn't be sitting so far from all the fun alone. Vega shared his new treat with his friends (Just tiny pieces of course).



Meadow:

Meadow shuffled his feet before rubbing the back of his head shyly. "Hey, you know, you should take pictures of it before you eat it, so you'll remember it forever! Then you can eat it." That was smart, right? "So come on, let's go play some games!" He reached for Aurelia's hand to kind of pull her along so they could find a game booth. They came to one where there were floating ghosts in a pool of water. The ghosts each had a colored dot on the bottom that would let the vendor know what prize you won. "Let's play this!" Meadow said, waiting for his turn. When he did, he picked up a ghost with a little white dot, and was offered a choice of chocolate bats. He picked out one that looked really good.



Charon:

Someone called his name. Charon turned and looked, then took off running. Whoops! He had hit on his girlfriend earlier. A rock hit him in the back of the leg, and a plushie landed on his head. He laughed and felt stupid as he ran around, avoiding the guy for a while. Eventually he lost him and put the strange one-eyed plush in his basket. And was that rock... the one that hit him? Maybe! He picked it up and dropped it in his bucket quickly. Whoa. He did not like how it felt to touch that rock...



Keahi:

Somehow, Keahi dozed off on the bench, surrounded by their new plushies. While they didn't know how long they were out, Keahi woke up with another plushie resting against them, and a little paper ghost hanging on one of their stubby horns.
