As Yuuto stood off by himself, he debated going over and playing with a pumpkin. He may not have had an appreciation for the art of pumpkin carving, but he had been pushed into doing it enough as a kid, it wasn't like he was incapable. Or maybe he'd get some food. Really, there were plenty of choices, and he probably could have spent the entire festival debating silently to himself, compiling pro/con lists and weighing the benefits of each option, if he wasn't approached by a man. He probably wouldn't have been able to recognize Finnian if the man were wearing something normal, since it had been so long since their brief meeting, but the cheerleader outfit really didn't help anything at all. Immediately, Yuuto's expression turned sour as he looked disapprovingly at Finnian. "What in the world are you wearing?" he questioned, looking as if he was trying to get a horrible taste out of his mouth. THIS was why he didn't understand costume parties. Perverts! Perverts and harlots everywhere!
Nanami flashed Hayden a small, puzzled smile. Imagination? She had plenty? Well, probably, if she was trying to pass this half-assed get-up as a proper costume. "You think?" she asked with a small laugh. "When you have a kid, you get pretty good at throwing together costumes for cheap," she shrugged. There had been many years when Haruka was a kid where she had spent the night before the festival digging through boxes of her old clothes, in search of something they could pass off as a costume. "I stil think yours is better," she added with a grin.
As the man pointed out Gemma, Nanami looked over at the woman. She had been wondering if she should go over there, but with Hayden there, she saw no reason to ditch him. But since he had said it... "Here," she reached out and took hold of his sleeve, tugging on it very gently. (His costume didn't look like it was that sturdy, and she didn't want to make anything come undone. She'd feel bad.) With this, she began to walk over to Gemma. "Hey, you!" she greeted her with a wide smile, looking her over. Her costume really did suit her, didn't it?
Mei shied away from Aleksey slightly as he whacked her on the arm, reaching up to rub the place he had touched. She still did her best to not let him notice. She liked him a lot, but he was much larger than her, and sometimes it made her feel tense. Thankfully, he continued talking, and she distracted herself away from her anxiety by focusing on the image of the family of deer frolicking on Aleksey's beautiful farm. She smiled at the thought. "How lovely. I'd like to see that sometime," she commented with a small nod. Her smile continued as she answered his question, even though talk of the clinic often times made her want to curl up and hide, or bite her wrist. (It was a habit she had somehow developed lately, and would sometimes spend her time inside the cupboard gently gnawing at her hand.) "The clinic is good, Mei is good," she mimicked, before giving in to her bashfulness and changing the subject. "...Are those your friends, Mister Aleksey?" she asked. She'd feel bad if she was keeping him from his friends!
Up until this point, Kotone had been standing off to the side, enjoying the feeling of having the best costume that has ever existed in the universe. In the universe. Look at all these idiots, thinking they can ever be as amazing as she was at this particular moment! She almost felt bad for them, having to wear slutty outfits to make up for their general mediocrity. Unfortunately for the growth of her ego, her thoughts were cut short when she heard a small voice coming from below. Well, not that far below, she was short, so the difference between her and a preschooler really wasn't that great. For a moment, she wondered what Peter was going on about, when she remembered that that wasn't Peter's voice, and she looked down at Wilhelm with a skeptical expression. "...What? Go away," she frowned, waving him away. She didn't have time to deal with annoying brats, especially if she wasn't obligated to pay attention to them!
Peter perked up as he heard Wilhelm call out. "Will?!" He launched forward, probably thinking he could leap out of the stroller and give his friend a hug. But Kotone had locked him in, so she could leave him in the stroller and not have to worry about him wandering away in case she met a real life prince. And so the little boy was yanked back hard by the straps, and he lay there for a brief moment, a little stunned. When he realized that he was stuck there, he gripped the side of the stroller and pulled himself as far forward as he could go, so he could look over the side of the stroller. That was no Wilhelm! It was a pirate! For a moment, he was horrified. His mother was being attacked by a pirate! And no one was running to save her! ...It was up to him! "No!" he cried out. "I'm.... Fed-rick! Mama's mine!" Kotone was always talking about Frederick the unicorn, Peter had just assumed that this was the character he was supposed to be that day. Even if he did find the whole thing confusing.

Oh, she was friendly! Good start! Kade smiled widely at that and gave an encouraging look to Theresa, who stared back at him in a way that was intended to inform him that she wasn't a child and didn't need to be pushed into making new friends. But, it obviously didn't translate as he literally pushed her closer to the blond carving one of the many pumpkins out for use – the farmers must love the pumpkin festival, really. She couldn't imagine how much it must have cost to buy this many! She let her eyes glance over the array of pumpkins before looking back to the girl, not caring very much on giving Kade a look for shoving her like he did for the man was already off searching for the smallest, cutest, and probably hardest to carve pumpkin in the lot! “Really? And you just had a costume lying around?” Theresa asked, amused and surprised at learning she had only just arrived. Theresa had had to buy her own costume because, well, she wasn't much of a costume-party sort, though she did get into it once she stepped out.
She looked at the pumpkin the woman was focused on, noting idly how often the other's cheeks painted pink like they did. She was trying, but it was fairly obvious she was awkward at meeting two strangers. Thankfully, Theresa was there to level out Kade's pushiness – she doubted it would take long for Sabine to start stuttering and wanting to make a quick exit if Kade was clinging to her and gabbing about everything and anything. “It's.. uh,” She stopped in thought at the question, “about pumpkins?” She finished dumbly with a short chuckle at her own expense, “I don't got a clue – that's more my brother's specialty.” Speaking of brothers, Kade had just come back with a tiny pumpkin in his hands, smiling happily at his discovery. He hadn't been very far, so he managed to catch the mention of a 'brother' in Theresa's speech. He brightened – oh, were they talking about him~?
“You mean hairstyling? That is so my specialty and, girl, if you ever need any help, ju –” Before Kade could throw in an advertisement for his salon, Theresa cut in with another laugh, “Nah, Kade, I mean Jacob. He's the priest;” She added with a glance over at Sabine before looking back at Kade to explain, “she was asking what the festival was about.” Kade gave a small 'oh' as he handed Theresa the pumpkin so she could examine it and maybe give him some praise for the cute find. While he let her give it a critical, yet lazy glance over, he directed his attention at Sabine, “Really? I think it's just a Halloween rip-off.” He shrugged, “I mean, the pumpkins, candy, and costumes? All they need to do is add in a haunted house and it's totally the same thing! If it isn't already.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Finnian, who was smiling just as ignorantly as he always had whenever he was approaching someone, took that disapproving look from Yuuto and quickly ran it through his mind. Reality had always been just a dirty car needing a good scrubbing for Finnian and.. sometimes a tune up, if necessary! So, when he saw that his superior superhero friend had given him a sour stare, he simply thought of every possible reason why he would be giving that look. There was the obvious that his clothing – as the man had went on to point out – was simply not appropriate for a full grown man to be parading around in, but that was simply boring and.. it just didn't make any sense! A superhero always had to be prepared to disguise themselves as anything and everything should the situation require it, including an attractive, hyper, and happy cheerleader like Finnian was right then! ..Unless.. Yuuto was simply so into his business man disguise that he was disapproving just as his persona, Yuuto the boring-never-dated-a-girl-in-his-life man, would have! Ah, supreme acting! It almost fooled Finnian!
He gave out a loud laugh and set one of the hands holding a blue and white pom-pom on Yuuto's shoulder, moving in closer so the man could hear him even as he spoke quietly.. which, to Finnian, meant saying in his regular, loud voice at a closer range. “There is no need to pretend around me, my friend! For you and I are allies in the fight against evil!” He nodded assuredly to himself as he patted Yuuto on the chest with his other hand, “You know why I am dressed as this and I don't think I need to explain – do I?” He grinned charmingly at Yuuto in a way only a superhero could possibly manage – a superbly super smile~!

Sabine laughed at Kade's interjection and left her pumpkin unattended for awhile. "It was last years Halloween costume. I just happened to bring it to the island with me. Lucky right? They should do a haunted house one year. That would be incredibly awesome." She smiled and looked at the two siblings, deciding that they looked an awful lot alike and they seemed to be opposites.
She smiled brightly at the two of them and then turned back to her pumpkin. Deciding to carve a butterfly into it. It was to symbolize her free spirit, she went where the wind took her sometimes. She smiled as she almost expertly carved the butterfly into the side of the pumpkin. There weren't many things that she could draw decently but a butterfly was one of them. Maybe it was because she had spent countless hours doodling into the margins of her notebook. When she was finally done with the carving she turned back to Kade and Theresa.
"That pumpkin is adorable. Do you have any idea what you are going to carve into it?" Sabine examined the pumpkin and then looked at Theresa. She didn't have a pumpkin in her hands, but then again pumpkin carving and festivals wasn't everyone cup of tea. It also seemed like she would have liked to have avoided dressing up and associating with people. Or maybe that was just the way Sabine was perceiving her..

However, once her eyes fell on Hayden, tall, blonde, and handsome, she felt a little underdressed. Nanami was wearing that cat/neko outfit, which was not so flashy as her own 'genie' apparel, and Hayden, who was basically... wearing a bathrobe. Wow. Hoo boy, did she feel underdressed! She was stunned for a moment in thought, wondering if this outfit wasn't too forward, which it probably was. Before she knew it, Nanami and Hayden were before her, talking to her. "Oh. I'm sorry, I was lost in thought a moment back there." she said, shaking her head. A smile played on her lips then, even while she had enough grace to look as surprised as she felt. "Maybe I'm getting old, who knows?" she shrugged casually after she spoke, her voice taking that little hint that she was joking. Being to serious was not one of Gemma's most pronounced qualities.

That was it. He was doomed. That Giant Dog was about to take a giant bite at his small (in comparition) head and it would be over for him. Only death was awaiting him now. Oh well he had live a long and eventful life and his name would go down in history as the one who had discover all the scret of that secret islan in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. He would be a hero in Death! Time to depart for the giant newspaper in the sky…. Undercover? Why would he go to heaven undercover? What was the oint of all that? This was just weird! Unless…Oh… That dog had seen underhis costume! Yes, that was it! But… if dog knew what he really was, he would just eat him anyway! He had to find a good lie! ”Yes! Yes! I’m undercover as a mouse…because… I’m a fox. An I was cheese. Because we fox fought with crows for century in order to get cheese, but mouse have lot of cheese, so we’re infiltrating them to get more cheese for us!” Did that make sense? No really, but when did anyone on this island ever ?
++++++++++
During that time, a panel of screctly secretive secret judges were judging the various costume of the people that had showed at the festival in order to determine who had the best costume! For some strange reasons, some people, like Wilhelm, who had very crappy costume had gotten a lot of votes, but in the end, the top three had been decided without troubles at all, having quite a leap in front of everyone else. Third place would go to Finnian the Cheerleader, earning him the tile Page of Pumpkins, Second Place would go to Lilia the poodle, earning the title Lady Pumpkin an the fist place going to Hayden the Playboy, Lord Majesty Of Everything Pumpkin and Pimpin’.

A bit of walking and scanning the costumes had Ellie busy for a bit. She had looked around when she had counted two kids... because her son was going after a princess and the other was stuck at a table... It was almost enough to go over there but as soon as Eet was up, sorta, and they went for pumpkins, or so she assumed, she let it go. More so because Quentin caught her attention. Why was she his aunt? "Well... I married your uncle, which makes me your aunt Quentin" she told the boy. There wasn't really any other explanation... But that was something that kid wanted very often. Whether he voiced it or not was another matter, actually it was strange that he did ask. Not that Ellie would know, this was her first time alone with the child... blanket... ghost... eyes basically. Now though, would be a good time to remind herself she was suicidal for coming alone to the festival... something crashed into her legs, well maybe not crashed... but she wasn't expecting poodles in her way... which is why she ended on the ground as she had attempted to dodge them... with a slight whimper. Hey, whimpering was acceptable behavior for shy people when in distress.
"But he can't do that." Because he can? That made no sense! Yoakim was clear on what she couldn't do, and even if she could and wanted it was still no. She had to try this, at some point... hm... would have the power that John had? Probably not, but she didn't know that yet. "Okay, so what's Eet?" The thing was dropped with their family often enough, but just what was it? Every time Rune asked it something, Eet would simply yawn, blink or be dragged away by John. Now she was curious! Well not, she was just finally asking about it. Could you blame the girl for wanting to know about her cousins? Her very weird cousins... Uh oh... Rune looked at the upcoming carriage with wide eyes. No... she had gotten away from that place!!! She had!!! "...Uh..." That kid was still creepy... she scared her... she was so loud a year ago... "That's Quentin... My cousin" said the girl looking back at the sheet, then at Lilia. She should probably wonder about her mother falling in the back... but Lilia had that thing that Gaston had... a look that made you question what was wrong with the, but scared you at the same time.
"I bet" smiled the man at that comment. Imagination was something that seemed to die as people got older. It was a sad fact. But that worry would be taken away by the idea of meeting again with Gemma. She probably had the most imaginative mind in the whole island, which was pretty refreshing actually. Speaking of which, a genie~ It made the male smile yet again. "I like it Gemma. It even goes with mine." That was a bit redundant considering anything that was female went with his... "This year everyone has gone all out... in every sense." They did really, even if he was under-dressed, it was better than his hippy costume. Much better! Because he won! "I won? I won... Cool!" exclaimed the male with a silly smile. Hey! He could be just grown up by being proud to be the winner... somewhat...
Romane would be the death of her. Rachel merely shook her head at the woman as they approached the table. She just needed to relax... maybe add a few more pills to her dosage or something. Perhaps offer her a cookie with some extra dosage sprinkles. Her green eyes stared at the pumpkins Romane seemed to be... wondering their reason to be here. Really? You just carve them and-Hm? A voice got her attention, causing Rachel to glance around until she spotted Aleksey. She smiled and waved back at her odd friend. It was fun to be around him, even Romane would agree. All right not agree completely, but she didn't deny it, so she counted it as such. "Look Romane, you take the knife" started the blond, giving her the knife to hold. "Pick a pumpkin and do just that. Just be creative and carve" she told her and went to get her son and find her own pumpkin. She would carve too dammit! Er, they would carve too!
"Off with you! Go away." Unfortunately for Pip, Miah would not like the pumpkin or skeleton costumes. Not now, not ever. Especially with the trauma he had caused her, but she would retaliate in the future. In the present, she was being hushed and bounced by Alice until she settled into a calm coo. The woman smiled at her daughter before focusing back on Integra. She shooed away Pip, well rather Integra did, along with Walter. "Of course, we'll have some girl time that doesn't involve kicking Pip away" replied Alice with a chuckle. As fun as it was, she needed someone to talk to. Now was a good time to catch up considering she always lost Integra to her work. Oh Alice really needed to get back to work... or just back at the Grind-House... It wouldn't be for a good time though, Miah needed to be taken care off and right now she was too young. Maybe she could handle another year... it'd drive her crazy but she would manage it.
A name? Julia tilted her head at that. "Octopus? Pinky? Spot?" There weren't much names she could put on the child's costume. At least, that's what she thought she was talking about. Then again Julia had a knack of talking about something on her terms, while the other person thought otherwise of the same thing. Well either her or the people she had met on the island. Would Freja be one of those people? Most likely, but Julia wouldn't know for a while. "What about her name?" she asked looking at the adorable baby with those big red eyes~ No to Julia they weren't creepy. They were just frigging adorable. Huh, she had the woman's hair... that was so cute~ "And yours? I'm Julia" said the fake vampire with a smile.
Pain... such a familiar friend to Eet, but it's welcome always took a while. This time, until the birds stopped rounding the child's head. Or until John called it. Eet barely looked up to see a hand shoved in front of it's face. Did it really want to do this? ...Want was a very distant word for Eet, so it lazily lifted it's arm to be met with John's. For a few seconds, Eet looked like a tiny ghost hovering, what with the huge blanket covering it and all. John had managed to pull it's cow up soon enough, of course landing face first into the table. Once Eet was up, it's attention fell upon the orange orbs that beamed food to it's mind. One, two, three, a few steps and Eet practically jumped on the pumpkin and attempted to bite at the top... keyword attempted.

Yuuto's disgusted expression intensified as the man moved closer, practically yelled in his face, and touched him. Placing a hand lightly on Finnian's shoulder, he stepped back so that he was an arm's length away, and the man couldn't get any closer. "I don't understand," he spoke almost harshly, looking down at Finnian. He couldn't look at the cheerleader outfit anymore, so he kept his gaze firmly placed on his conversation partner's -- if you could even call him that -- face. "You probably think you're funny. I hope you realize how foolish you look." He couldn't stand people like this, people who joked and were silly about important things. Even if it was a festival for dressing up in weird costumes, that was no excuse for looking like an idiot. And for the first time, Yuuto wondered what it said about him that he had been approached by someone like this.
Nanami wasn't the type of woman to be swayed by just physical appearance alone, and usually didn't think much of it, beyond assessing a person's general attractiveness. But as she approached Gemma, she couldn't help but glance over her friend. She was allowed to slip every once in a while! She didn't really care whether an outfit was considered revealing or slutty, or what, and so she simply admired her friend's ability to wear something like that. She had a nice figure, and a nice stomach... Nanami was jealous, and as she smiled at Gemma, she crossed her arms, her fingers lightly poking at the fat that was slowly gathering at her stomach and hips. Her clothes had started to feel a bit snug, maybe she should consider stopping by the gym that had opened...
After admiring how nice her friend looked, she smiled up at Gemma. "I'm not sure age has anything to do with it," she teased with a wink. She glanced at her two friends, they really did suit each other, costume-wise. For a moment, she felt a little self-conscious about her own half-assed costume (there wasn't much of a costume, except for the cat ears and the face paint), but she pushed her insecurities aside. It wasn't like it was a competition or anything... Actually, it kind of was.
"Congratulations!" Nanami exclaimed as Hayden was announced the winner. She was startled by it at first, but it was a particularly creative costume, and she glanced over at Gemma to see the woman's reaction. She probably ranked high, too! "Just try not to let it get to your head," she added, patting Hayden on the arm and laughing lightly. He looked so excited to have won, it was kind of cute.
Wilhelm may not have been strong, but Kotone was petite, and really was a wimp in most respects. "Hey!" she barked as the toddler whacked her in the leg with his wooden sword. Honestly, who were his parents? Letting their kid wander around with a weapon of sorts. She wouldn't win Mother of the Year anytime soon, but at least Peter didn't go and attack people. She glanced around for someone who could possibly be related to this kid. He had white hair, but there were a surprising number of people with white hair on Nirvani. "Does this belong to anyone?" she called to no one in particular.
Peter continued to struggle in his stroller. The pirate wasn't listening! He was going to steal his mother, and make him his slave! He didn't like that at all! And so the little boy thrashed in his seat, all while whacking at the buckle that kept him trapped -- oh hey, it opened! His tiny fist came smashing down on the button and the straps pulled free. Ah hah! He should remember how to do that later. And so the little boy crawled down from the shoulder, and faced Wilhelm with a determined, terrified expression. "I don't like this! I have a horn!" ...It was fabric and stuffed with cotton, but it counted, didn't it?

Kade met her eagerness with skepticism on the haunted house bit. Just the idea had a shiver up his spine and tension in his shoulders! The costumes were enough of a scare at times, but, to have something fully intending to scare him? Oh, that would just be asking for Kade to spend this time of year at home, in front of the television, and munching on whatever snack he could find to try to avoid the scary and insane people outside! Theresa, on the other hand, had her eyes lit up with excitement as she turned her face away from the small pumpkin to the woman, grinning broadly at that, “That would be 'incredibly awesome'.” She mimicked the girl's phrase with some amusement, but all entertainment aside, she still agreed completely. Halloween – or Halloween rip-offs, as Kade had called it – main fun was in the scary stuff. None of this cutesy pink, skirts, and silly puns! Theresa was half convinced after her brief look at the crowd that she was the scariest costume there and, honestly, when Bride of Frankenstein becomes 'the scariest', it was a sad trick-or-treat day. Kade made a face at both the girls agreeing to it, snatching his pumpkin back up from his elder sister to turn his eyes down to that instead.
“Please, this isn't for you two to get cheap thrills.” He scolded, “This is for the kids! You know as well as I do, Tess, that Junior would die if he saw anything scarier than a ghost..” He ended that with a point towards one silly child with a bedsheet and holes tossed over them. He turned back to the table and started to search for the paints that he knew someone would have set out in mind for the little kids who couldn't – and shouldn't – handle a knife.
“Hey, don't sell the kid short!” She protested immediately in the kid's defense, looking back to Sabine with a toothy grin as she knew full-well who Kade really was talking about. “Don't listen to him; he's always been a scaredy-cat.” She tossed a glance at Kade, who gave a small frown back at her for the tease, but he was too 'mature' to say anything back as he located the paints. Instead, he simply started to attempt doodling a kitten on the pumpkin and ignore the two girls. Tess chuckled at him and returned her eyes to Sabine, “Cute butterfly,” She commented as she noticed the bug the girl had started to carve, “Kade's too chicken to hold a knife like that – in fact..” She raised both brows as she continued to watch, a little awed at how well the girl was handling it. “..I don't think anyone could handle it like that. Are you a cook or something?”

Ah! It made sense! Certainly, foxes had whiskers and a form-like cats, but the brains of dogs, and thus had to be the child of some odd dog-cat love child – a stupid half! If there were enough foxes in one given area, then she would have to assume that they would attempt to eat something that neither species would have a need for – such as cheese. Which would lead to the mouse fiasco, but they wouldn't be smart or strong enough to really kill a mouse – not considering how brilliant a few of them could be – so, they would have to try to be cowards and infiltrate. Yes, it made perfect sense and Catrina wasn't entirely sure why he hadn't said it before instead of begging for his life. But, well, brain of a dog – they were rather stupid. The only things dogs had going for them were those immense canines and strength! Catrina had to wonder who's bright idea it was to give such feats to something as dimwitted as a – oh! It was Mei!! She smiled as she finally spotted the woman when her eyes did their routine scan of her surroundings. “Mjau~! Good luck, stupid, mrowr~” She managed to get enough attention to spout that out before she jumped off of the silly fox and darted straight towards – and into – Mei~! “Merow~!! Mei~” She purred out as she circled the woman's legs, hardly taking note of the other she was talking to. What did it matter? All that was important was Catrina, after all, and Mei should be smart enough to drop everything and give her attention!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
After struggling to get Eet up off the ground, John had finally managed to get it up with three or four.. hundred yanks! It was a good thing he ate his spinach or else he wouldn't have managed this! Even better that he ate his spinach, Quin's spinach, and then everything else he could reach too or else he really wouldn't be able to manage this! He smiled proudly at himself, hands on his waist, and eyes tilted up as if some larger person would come over to give him a pat on the head in praise. Said larger person wasn't there right then, but, hey, John could dream~! ..As soon as he finished with Eet, that is. He turned to look to where it had gone and spotted, much to his dismay, that his silly cow was chomping down on a pumpkin! ..It wasn't doing a very good job, either, but John was more happy for that then anything. He hurried forward and grabbed Eet by it's waist, tugging sharply to get it off the pumpkin. He looked at it with what would likely be a scolding, but then something hit him to save it! “You found the pumpkin! Good job, Eet! Good!” He shouted as he first pointed to the pumpkin and then turned to give Eet the pats on the head he had wanted a few moments prior. “How do we get inside?” He asked next as he turned completely from it to the pumpkin.

By some grace of the Goddess, Lilia was too young to understand that she hadn't won the costume contest. In fact, all she knew was that her name had come onto the speaker, making her smile widely and wonder what that garbled speech up there was supposed to mean. She often had gotten her name on the speaker, especially when her daddy had the microphone in hand and started on one of his long, happy, and completely true stories of how she was a pretty princess and.. there was some stuff about Eclair in there, but Lilia didn't care very much. Nope! She just heard her name, listened until her name didn't come up, and tuned the rest of it out. Just like she was right then as the speakers came on. So, what could have been a world-class tantrum was thankfully avoided as she ignored whatever else the speaker people had to say in favor of her peasants. “Kwi.. Kwuu..” She attempted to mimic the name Rune said, frowning as her second try didn't sound right at all. So, there was only one conclusion to this.
“Wrong! You wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong!” She chanted as she pointed at Rune, then to the 'Quentin', “That Kwuu. Kwuu! Kwuu, Rune wrong.” She went on to accuse to the girl's cousin, her finger pointing at the little girl once again. Stupid Rune! Not once during this exchange had Lilia paused to notice that her poodles were getting comfortable ontop of Ellie, panting loudly as they rested on what they probably thought was another servant. Only self-heating human bodies could possibly make good enough beds for the poodles, so of course they were used to resting atop women and men alike! The whimpers just earned a snap as it disturbed their rest.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
..He didn't.. understand..? Foolish? But.. ah, Finnian didn't think he looked anything but – well, it was in the spirit of these things that he.. He stood there, looking rather flabbergasted at the negative response his superior was giving him. That look would slowly morph into one of hurt – had he not realized that there was no possible way Yuuto here could be telling the truth! No, no, Yuuto was just filling in the role of his disguise so perfectly well that it almost fooled even Finnian. Ah! He should have known that someone of Yuuto's caliber would be capable of such mastery of disguises! He instantly brightened up with a nod to himself in assurance, giving another wink at Yuuto, “Do not worry, my friend, for I understand and that is all the understanding a pair like us need!” He suddenly gave a laugh to show he completely understood the man and was in no way offended despite his rather harsh way of speaking. No one would think that someone like Yuuto was a superhero with how cruel he was! It was ingenious!
“You certainly must teach me how you manage to present yourself without a flaw, my good – ah, stern,” He winked once again and smiled knowingly, “man!” He probably would have continued to question his new best friend all about the disguise and how he could suppress his overall goodness to act like a stoic, dull, yet firm individual. But, then his name came onto the announcement and his eyes shown with pride. His costume had won third? “Ah! It looks as though I am not too shabby at this myself!” He chuckled as he pointed up to the speakers, looking at Yuuto with nothing but joy and hope that he would garner some sort of praise – but nothing large! Yuuto was still in disguise, after all.

Romane tensed as the knife was handed to her, sucking in breath as quietly as she could as she held the very sharp, very real knife in her hands. She had to force herself not to shake while she sent a look to the blond in wonder of why she had handed her such a dangerous object as.. ah. Pumpkins. Carving. Romane instantly relaxed – well, relaxed as much as she usually would allow – and examined the knife once again while Rachel explained. She simply carved an image into a pumpkin? ...For what purpose could that possibly be? This made next to no sense and she had turned her head to inform Rachel of that – but the woman had already left. Her perpetual frown deepened as she looked back to the array of pumpkins before her. She simply had to choose one, correct? ..Ah, this wouldn't be very difficult.. She leaned somewhat forward, looking at each pumpkin in appraisal to decide which one would be the most fitting for whatever imagery she had planned to carve. This could be her stalling for time for she hadn't much of an idea of what would be the best image to carve into a pumpkin – especially considering they would rot in a few days, thus rendering her time spent on the object useless.. In that case, it would mean any pumpkin would do. But, which pumpkin would do the temporary duty of holding her specific carving for a short period of time best? Now that took a lot of hard thinking, measuring, and weighing of each and every pumpkin on that table.

 Gwen and J.M walked into the town square, J.M's right arm thrown around his darling's small waist. The pair had just arrived the night before in Nirvani. James had planned to sleep away his jet lag, but Gwen dragged him to the Pumpkin Festival instead. She was sure all her friends, if they were still friends after her long, pretty unannounced absence, were there. So she had to go. Before she had left the house she quickly threw on a white dress and bunny ears, a much more demure version of her old playboy bunny costume. After all, it was the pumpkin festival. Why do if you didn't have any spirit?
J.M on the other hand, was in regular clothes. He didn't even want to be here. If it wasn't for how much he was trying to impress Gwen with his acceptance of her small town lifestyle he'd still be in New York, drinking beer with hip millionaires. He yawned, tired and bored, as he grasped on to Gwen, hoping old flings kept their distance. He didn't know much about the girl's previous love affairs, so he figured that every guy had known her. It was better safe than sorry.
Gwen scanned the area for familiar faces. All she really saw was Bela. Bela and kids. Well that didn't make much sense. Maybe she got knocked up on accident and decided to go through with it, but there was no way Gwen saw Bela as a chipper housewife. She chucked to herself as she began to walk in the blonde's direction, J.M quickly moving along with her.
"Bela!" she called with a smile. It had been a long while since she saw her, maybe she didn't remember her. "How've you been!?" She glanced down at the children accompanying the blonde. They couldn't be hers, that would just be insane.

 Walter left Pip after a bit to paint and carve some pumpkins for his baby girl, and make up for traumatizing the s**t out of the child. Walter himself had just grabbed, gutted and cut up a medium sized pumpkin. He put a cute little face on the pumpkin and stuck a lit candle inside. IT wasnt long before the dark haired Brit spotted his, hm well what exactly could he call Kade? His sugar muffin? His plum pudding? His a** bandit? No wait maybe he was the a** bandit. Ah well not to worry about that~! Finding the male Walter came up to Kade's side while the boy was talking to, God knows who Walter wasn't paying attention. He slipped his arm around Kade's waist and smiled to the one he was talking to. " Sorry Ma'am but ill be stealing this little bunny from you. I have to give her coat a nice cleaning." Walter said as he looked to Kade with a dark sly smirk on his lips. Oh, oh the Brit loved the bunny suit. It was sexy, especially on someone like Kade. It would be better if Kade had a nice set of tits but the males a** in those white pants with that little puffy tail was just too tempting. Walter leaned in and gave Kade a teasing kiss and n** on the male's exposed neck. ____________________ Aleksey looked back over to Rachel and Romane, before turning his eyes back to Mei. "Oh Da. But they are busy. Hey wanting to do what everyone else is? It looking like fun, but ah.. you will have to show Aleksey how." Aleksey said as he took Mei's hand and dragged her over to the carving pumpkin place. "Oh! This one is cute because it is tiny!" Aleksey said as he picked up a small pumpkin and showed it to Mei. "Oh it is like you, here! This is Mei pumpkin." He said as he handed it to Mei, only to decide that it would look better atop Mei's head. So there went the tiny pumpkin, to sit atop Mei's head where Aleksey placed it. The Russian then went on searching for a bigger pumpkin. Finding one, bigger than his head, Aleksey picked up off the ground, heaved it over his shoulder and brought it back over to Mei. He set it on the carving table with a thud and smiled to Mei. Reaching into a spot on his pirate belt, Aleksey produced a rather large, sharp knife he had bought just for the costume. Or maybe he had that all along. "Okay Mei how to be doing this?" Aleksey asked as he pointed the knife at Mei. ____________________ Pip was busy at work, trying to pick out the cutest cut outs and the right pumpkins to appease his daughter. Pip had made two other pumpkins so far. One was a cute happy face, the other a surprised face and the third he was attempting a cute spider but it wasnt turning out so well. Stupid pumpkin. Stupid daughter being afraid of pumpkins, stupid him for scaring his child! Would she love him now if he carved enough pumpkins for her? Probably not.. Pip sighed and set down the carving knife. The pumpkin was a mess, how he didnt know.. he could kill people, oh no wait he was more of an explosives kind of guy.. right now he knew why the pumpkin was a mess. Pip was only good with a knife when it came to slashing throats open and the last time he did that he had lost an eye. Pip ran a hand over his hair and looked around. Maybe gratuitous amounts of sugar would help Miah not hate him? _____________________ Integra laughed at what Alice said. Hey she knew how much of a hopeless handful Pip was at times. God knows what kept Alice to Pip, then again it was probably the same reason Integra herself had stuck with him and Walter. " Here." Integra said as she offered to take Miah. " Let me take the sweetie. You can have your arms back." Integra laughed gently. "Besides im sure my girls can entertain her for a bit, while we find some candy." Integra said referring to her breasts. Hey most babies loved her chest. It was so big and soft and squishy! Who didnt love her tits?!
"Alright off to find some nummy candy." Integra said once Alice had passed Miah off to her. The girls then headed out to grab some cant for the kiddo. After locating.. said candy, wherever it was, Integra found some nice soft half melted chocolate for Miah. She used her free hand to open the package and stuck just a bit of the chocolate goo in Miah's mouth so the little girl could gum it to death. "How does that taste Miah?"

A time had passed and the night was slowly edging it's way towards early morning hours, signaling that, for all the ghouls, sluts, and fairy princesses, it was time to head home. Kade, who had smiled slightly at the sound of Walter's voice, quickly remembered how freaking scary Walter's costume was and proceeded to scream and duck under the table the moment he had turned around. Beside him was Theresa, the woman bursting out into laughter at the sight before apologizing to Sabine and Walter. She said the Waldroup's farewells to them both as she coaxed Kade back out and went to lift a far too tired to walk Junior so they could head back home. They walked by one Catrina stuffed inside a dog costume who was, against the nature of the creature she was pretending to be, hissing at Aleksey for at all getting cozy with her kitten. Amidst her accusations of ***** of the Russian, she pushed and dragged at Mei to hopefully get her to leave the festival before she was defiled. Xochiquetzal, a meter away, had fallen silent as she normally did as her mother would eventually wheel her back home, although, strangely enough, she had a small pumpkin somehow manage into her hands to be snuggled with. John and Eet had both found themselves chewing on one of the pumpkins with the thought that it would start to taste good eventually before Ellie had taken them and the rest of the children back to their homes. Whether Eet had managed to make it back or not was a mystery, but no one would notice either way. What they would notice was Gaston, who had snapped his fingers after parading around with his wife and children to summon a helicopter painted like a pumpkin. As if the man would actually walk back home! Besides, his children were all half awake and in dire need of some beauty sleep as quickly as can be. While the loud vehicle flew off to the mansion with Lilia, Eclair, Lulu, Muse, and Gaston inside, Finnian had said a quick farewell to Yuuto with the proper cheerleading maneuvers to better express each letter so as not to confuse the man. Then, he had ran off into the night like the mysterious caped hero he was~
In the end, Romane was the last one at the festival, unwilling to leave until the festivities had officially ended at exactly 1:00 AM. At which point, she had taken Julian and Rachel to lead them back home safely and efficiently. Thus, the festival was ended.[ Festival is Closed. Anything else that needs and/or wants to be finished would have to take place after the festival at Town Square. ]
