Atoris couldn't help but be a little bit antsy! He had been looking forward to this event for months and now that it was here he wanted to do everything! He was nearly bouncing when they arrived at the grounds, which was rather odd for a zombie. He did his best to try to contain his excitement, but he was having a hard time doing so. He was, however, very jealous of Maggie already getting a familiar, and a vespercat at that! "Oh man! It's really cute! That means I have to get one now too, right?" He glanced around, hoping his own cat would suddenly appear from out of nowhere. However, it really wasn't all that surprising that it didn't work quite that way. "So what are you thinking about naming it?" He reached out to pet the familiar, smiling widely as he did so.
Cascade wasn't nearly as enthusiastic as his sister. He had very nearly decided to not dress up at all, what was the point? But when she had decided to do so, he guessed he shouldn't make her feel left out. It took him a long while to decide what to wear and in the end, he decided to make himself into a dragon. So it was a little odd probably, but then he could set fire to people who got too close, right?
When they arrived, he kept his eyes out for anyone who might end up hurting him or his sister, keeping a vigil watch as a brother should. However, he was interrupted when he heard Misty's excitement, mistaking it for her being frightened. He turned to subdue the evildoer when he noticed it was just a small flitterrat. He frowned, feeling stupid and let his guard down a little. He guessed it was kind of cute. "Uhhh... yeahhh.." He tried hard to calm down, but still kept his eyes watching. "You're kind of lucky, you know? Getting a familiar so soon. That's kind of cool."

Sorry for the double quote! Forgot to add my tally at the end of my post. xD
Travesty just held tighter to his younger sister's hand, making sure she didn't get lost. He knew his mother was counting on him to make sure nothing bad happened. He could still see Charade shadowing them from time to time, so he knew they weren't alone. He heard a plunk in his bucket and tilted his head to see inside that it was a skull candle! That was actually kind of cool, in his opinion.
Facade smiled when she saw the Revenant come up to her, it was perfect! She smiled as she picked it up, letting go of Travesty's hand for a moment as she cuddled the thing. Too late for it, it was hers now! She was so enamored by it that she hadn't noticed someone put some things into her bucket. "Look at it, Travesty, isn't it the best?"
Adjusting her poofy dress, the petite Fey bounded up the front steps of a villager's home, needing a little help from her wings to get up them. Gosh, someone tall must live here! Her little hand rapped on the door, while shouting "Trick-or-Treat!"
A grinning Baphomet peaked out and tipped a treat into her pail. "Thank you!" She shouted her gratitude before darting towards the next door.
Nadinia
Nadi made her way out of the dorm, ducking her head to avoid scraping her petals against anything. The courtyard was set up like a huge party, students milling everywhere. She approached the tables at the entry. It looked like there were some random door prizes for signing in. She put her name down, and was handed a bundled prize. There was a very cute little plushie and a stone in similar colours. When her hand brushed the stone, a deep feeling of sadness settled over her. This wasn't like celebrations Above at all. She shivered and dropped her loot into her pail, feeling better as soon as she released the stone.
Shivering slightly, she made her way towards the games, looking forward to some fun.
Odessa
Dessa's caretaker had hustled them all outdoors, and was making sure they were all ready to go. The Grimm heard her announce that she'd be giving them all their first treat, and she perked up. She crowded nearer to her caretaker, along with her other classmates. The older Nightmare plopped a sucker into her pail, along with a stuff toy. Odessa smiled. Perhaps wearing the itchy costume would be worth it.
Dahvin
His tinfoil knight costume was holding up quite well to the first bit of trick-or-treating. This pleased the quite little boy. He'd been worried it would fall apart, and everyone would stare at him. ... That would simply be a disaster!
He neatly rapped on a villager's door, his caretaker not far behind, watching her chargers. The door opened and the villager behind it smile, and offered him a small treat. He happily accepted the glowing necklace, and added it to his costume. "Thank you very much!" He scurried away, to show his caretaker his loot.
Piper
Piper proudly held their lantern, even though inside it rested the creepy skull and candle. They pondered that perhaps all these scary things were just part of the festivities. Approaching a door, they knocked loudly. The door opened a crack, and the hybrid behind rolled their eyes. "Another kid? Ah well. Here, have some raisins."
Piper wasn't sure they liked raisins, but said thank you anyhow.
Avo smiled brightly as he went to a booth to play a ring toss game. He got a ringer and won and silly little ghost. Avocado grinned swinging the two around pretending the ghost was real flying. Like he wanted to fly.
Her head snapped up when she heard Zahneel's voice, tendrils flickering faintly. She was here! At Zahneel's gentle prompting, she reached out, starting slightly when her fingers touched fur. The familiar didn't flinch, allowing her to gently graze her fingertips over them. Big. They were big, and soft. Their arms felt like they were thick and ready to cling onto something. They had claws, too, very unlike her pup. Gently, as Zahneel help her up, she picked the creature up with a brief hesitance. They allowed her, even squirming slightly to be comfortable.
It felt like a giant teddy bear, honestly!
Now holding her new familiar, she raised her head towards where she had heard Zahneel originally, a faint smile touching her features.
"You made it." She had almost been worried she missed her friend! She wasn't quite paying attention to the sounds around her, missing a small plushie being dropped in her pail.

Relief washed over his face now that he had found them. Just like Neptune, his tail was wagging, leaving Maria with two very happy pups.
"I should have come with you both earlier! I came to find you." Tomoe admitted, ears perking up at the trick or treat comment. Oh! Was it time?
Tomoe had all of five seconds to accept a candied apple being thrusted at him by a stranger, jumping as he grabbed the stick and immediately winced. Sticky. Gross! Was this even any good? Luckily, Maria's faint laughter egged him on, giving the apple a tiny bite.
.... Delicious!

For Ai to creepil- I mean enjoy.
"Yes, I'm okay!" She announced, briefly checking her rat. "So are they." She added, to relieve any worries. The rat squeaked faintly from where they were, emphasizing the point.
The baphomet blinked back at the boy - Hamish - with a curious flicker of amusement. Oh! He was awfully kind, wasn't he? She had bumped into him and he was worried about her! Her head shook gently, a hand raised slightly .
"I'm Atlas, and no no, it's okay. We don't need anything." She attempted a smile, something she wasn't quite used to. Her eyes drifted to a booth behind Hamish before they flicked to lock back on him.
"Well, if you're interested, there's a partner game behind you, if you'd join me?" There, a way for them to both apologize and even win a prize, what could go wrong?

Maple hadn't expected to be so good at dart games, but she was, and it wasn't long before she left with a rather cute plush.
...
She hadn't been looking where she was going, tripping over a small bat plushie. Oh no! With a good wash.... they could really fit in with her collection.
...
Anyone can interact with her!
As cheesy as it was, his heart actually skipped when he spotted Raleka approaching. Perking up, he pushed himself off the stairs, jogging to meet her. Now, nothing could prepare him for the peck on his cheek, face heating off as a soft and content smile touched his features.
Man, he was a lucky guy!
"Good, in fact." He assured, smiling faintly. "Better, now that you are here." And he meant it, he truly meant it. His head turned to scan the fairgrounds, looking to see if he could find Willow or Lapis. No luck.
"I brought my niece and nephew here, but they both slipped away. Maybe you'll get to meet them later this evening." His voice was a tad energetic as he looked at the entire festival before them. He got to bring Raleka to this, and boy, was he ready to start exploring.
"Are you ready?"
...
Not claiming anything!
Smolderingskies
Lapis was not as lucky with the next game, failing almost entirely. She walked away with... bones. Instantly, she tucked them away. While it was creepy for most, she actually held an interest in them.. She just needed to make sure her zaza didn't find them. Or Addie.
....
Anyone can interact with her!
She had taken a break, settling on a bench and setting her pail down. Her cloak went limp as she rested, no longer supporting any of her items. This was exhausting, and she didn't know anyone. Perhaps she shouldn't have come. She wasn't very suited for public activities.
Her head leaned back, eyes locking on the tree behind her. Two yellow eyes peered back at her. The elf sat up, turning her body to fully examine the creature. Ah. A vespercat. The cat gave a small mewl, leaping from the tree and padding up to her before jumping onto the bench, settling beside the elf. Shiori had heard of times when strays would select their owners, but she never would have guessed it'd happen to her.
She wasn't protesting, though.
...
Anyone can interact with her as long as they do not judge her for her lack of arms. I do not wish to RP her with anyone who may do that.
This time, as a booth, she left with a prize! Great! Her kids would love this!
....
Maria smiled as Tomoe was handed a sweet, giggling softly as he seemed to struggle with figuring out if he wanted to eat it or not. Once he decided that yes, he did, she turned to look at Neptune, nodding.
"Well then, lets go." She reached out to take Neptune's hand again, a soft and affectionate smile sent his way before she waited patiently for Tomoe to finish discovering how delicious his apple truly was. It was then something caught her eye, and it was in her pail.
"Oh!" She gasped, lifting her pail to expose to the two of them her new friend. "We have a guest amongst us!"

She was right, it was cute! Pleased, the fallen fluffed his wings up, setting the plushie into his pail delicately. While Lolo was busy interacting with a stall runner, he had spotted something on the ground, and like any child decided he should pick it up and place it in his pail. When Lolo returned he inspected her necklace, awe across his face.
"It's so pretty! I want one." His last sentence wasn't said out of spite or greed, but instead a soft and almost whispered awe. Now he needed to go get one, too!

DaisyMilk
Ah, her prince. That was a term he hadn't quite understood yet. Why him? Wasn't a prince someone regal and often beautiful? Surely it was a joke. Yet, the pup couldn't help but offer a soft smile. It was a term she only used for him, and honestly... it made him feel special.
"I didn't expect to find myself here, either." He admitted. Now, he was glad he took the plunge. "I'm okay... how are you?" Aaaah, small talk! But he genuinely was curious how she faired this evening! His eyes trailed to the approaching vespercat, ears perking. Hers? How cute! He didn't know she had a pet!

When Thana arrived he did so with a slightly, almost invisible frown. He had decided to dress as a vampire and immediately regretted it. The cape was silly, and he was sure the fake fangs would fall out any second. Still, he arrived, spotting Cain and quietly approaching. Now Cain didn't look stupid, though he never did, honestly. The hybrid was right behind Cain when he noticed a large rock get dumped into Cain's pail, watching the imp dumped it curiously.
"What was that?" He asked softly, accepting a pail from a nearby vendor.
Ah, Histeol was already present as well. He noticed the lack of cane, but with Haint around he figured Histeol likely didn't need it. "Thet ees good to hear, we took a bit of time to find the proper wey to make eet down here." He nodded a little. It was surprising how many stairs he hadn't noticed before Xeizii's arrival... now navigating seemed to be a bit more of a challenge than it was before - but only just barely.
"Hello Histeol." As relieved as he was to see his friend, he couldn't help but feel a little... awkward? Was that what this was? He had dropped off the face of the planet and not explained himself- now here he was face-to-face with someone he considered a dear friend still without explaining himself. "Ah, Xeizii ees my leettle brother."
A passing festival worker held out a thing of cotton candy for him to take. He blinked, surprised, but took it anyway. Xeizii might like it... "I hev not seen Perigor yet. Perheps he ees delayed?" Well. He hadn't seen Perigor in a long time, to be fair.
"Eet ees good to meet you es well. Prom...etheus speaks very highly of you b--oth." Still smiling behind his mask, Xeizii looked from one new potential friend to the other. Histeol was the blind one, right...? Yes, that was right. Somehow he knew where to put his hand - maybe his hearing was just that good? He released his lantern and reached out to shake Histeol's, his grip was fairly weak for his age but still, he tried his best. "Yes, I em Prome--theus's leettle brother. Eef eet ees easier to sey, you cen call me Xei." He nodded a little, even though Ustule was the only one who could see it.
The arrival of both the revenant and the fennekit had him lighting up with interest. "Ooh, ees eet normal for enimals to approach people so openly here?" He blinked at the two new familiar additions to the group. Ah... Perigor... That was Prometheus' last friend, right? The loud one. He was looking forward to meeting Perigor- he'd never really expected Prometheus to make friends with someone loud.
Seems familiars weren't the only things randomly approaching- someone dropped a potion of mysterious liquid into Xeizii's lap as they passed by, followed by an old beat up plushie. Huh... He stuck both of them carefully into his pail.

"I-I'm glad you were a-able to find us..!" Neptune nodded happily. Candy apples sounded nice-- he picked out one that was similar to Tomoe's, though seemed to have a bit of a time trying to eat it... They were just so sticky! And he was so furry! Ugh... Sometimes he envied Maria's furless hands.
"A-are we going to head into t-town?" He tilted his head slightly, then perked up when Maria held up her pail. "O-oh..! A fl--flitterat! A-and it has four w-wings... I-is it coming h-home with us??"

Pangurban had barely put in the effort to dress up- settling with just a white shawl and a ghost mask he'd found in town a couple weeks prior. He wasn't really all that interested in the celebrations, but getting some free snacks was never a bad thing. He stopped by the front table to grab a cauldron which... Came with a complimentary turnip? The hybrid stared at the gross thing for a few moments before deciding he could just pawn it off on someone later.
He made his way in to the actual festival itself, though didn't get very far before almost tripping over a revenant. The creature seemed lost and confused, though it had no problems latching onto Pangur's leg. He stared down at it for a moment, wondering if it belonged to anyone... Nah, probably not. Sighing, he set his cauldron down and then pried the creature off of his leg, then carefully maneuvered it so that it could latch onto his back.
There. Much better.

Pangur is free for interacting! Just gimme a quote ; D
Foras was surprised when Ganymede actually spotted him first. Perhaps Foras had just missed him under all that make-up and kickass spooky ghoul costume. He couldn't help but laugh when he was confronted. he pointed between them like it was the most hilarious thing in the world. Despite being the 'same' thing, they both had totally different interpretations.
"I thought you'd be spooky enough for the bother of us. So I went a fancier route." He chuckled one more time before continuing. "In all honesty, all I did was ruin a perfectly good button-up and top hat. Oh, but I did have fun with the scythe. It was no easy task, hiding the fact that I was working on it all this time. You should be impressed!" He peeked around the festival in an attempt to spot something fun to do with his....friend. Well, they were more than friends right? It seemed like for once, Foras wasn't trying to push a relationship onto Ganymede. For now he was just happy to be with him, enjoying a festival together. Whatever was going to happen would just happen naturally. Of course, he had his hopes set on something more.
"Well, what would you like to do first? Play some games? Tackle one of the haunted houses? Get some treats?" As he said 'treats' someone passed by him, dropping something heavy into his bucket. He looked down to spot a rock in his bucket. Oh, those brought back memories of a Haunted Hallows when he was much younger.
Nilima could tell that Rorie was really starting to appreciate the attention she gave him. There was a time when it wasn't always greeted by a hug in return. She had learned to look past his sighs and yawns as well, to appreciate that Rorie certainly liked sleeping. She tried to let him sleep sometimes, but she was starting to suspect that he actually liked it when she dragged him out of bed to go out and do things.
She followed him over to the booth, but instead of candy she was given some raisins. Looks like they were sort of handing things out at random. She was just that lucky person that landing on a trick time. Ah well, raisins weren't all that bad. When Rorie offered her a little Nezebat plushie she managed to repress the little squeal of delight that was trying to bubble out of her. Rorie was still fighting off the sleep, no need to startle him this soon!
"I'd love it!" She took the little nezubat plushie and gave it a gentle squeeze. It was just so adorable! "Alrighty, I'm gonna let you take the lead on this one! Don't worry, this isn't a test!" Okay so maybe it was a test. She hooked her arm around her friends and pointed off in the distance for him to lead the way. :"Onward! She cheered.
