[As usual, this year's party is held at the ball room. Dance music is already playing, mixed in together with creepy sounds and howls. The decorations are creepy at its best, and there are skeletal waiters walking around this time.

The tables are laden with food for various monsters, ghost, blood for the vampires, candy for the children, and normal food for those who are somewhat normal. Though if you're not in costume, that ugly fish sculpture at the giant punch bowl will spew a liquid at you rudely from it's mouth that will immediately put you into a random costume. If you keep hitting it, it will keep doing it, changing your costume into something worse every time.

Gatecrashers with bad intentions will be grabbed, wrapped and tossed out of the room by that giant spider up there on the ceiling, and it will also grab you if you're being selfish to the kiddies about giving them candy.

For those who lack dancing partners, some of those manakins are not there for show. Those will come to life and ~~harass~~ dance with you if you look a little lonely.

Enjoy!]

[Hopefully he will continue to not think to. She cracks a small grin, and nods.]

Yeah, the hat makes it.

[So amused.]

Did you pick it out, or did this place?

I woke up in it. I'm glad I didn't have to wear a dress.

[like a certain other Roxas, cough.]

I found this in my room, too. People keep giving me things to eat!

[he's proudly displaying a pillowcase full of candy and the occasional piece of fruit. he hasn't actually gotten into the candy yet.]

[She's glad he didn't too. Kid needs a break. She blinks down at the pillowcase, then steps forward to peer into it.]

You went trick or treating?

Is that what it's called? I know I got a lot of treats, then.

[at first glance it appears to be normal candy. but wait- is that a bit of metal sticking out of that apple?]

I can tell.

[Do your best to hide the frown, Riku.]

Why don't we go over here and see what all you've got, so you know?

Alright. Some of it smells really good.

[he doesn't mind sorting through it at all; maybe she can even tell him what some of it is.]

This way.

[She gestures toward ... an empty chair over in this one corner over here. Come, Roxas, we must make sure you don't get murdered.]

[he'll head on over where she's directing him, plopping his bag down on the chair. the first thing he pulls out is a little bag of M&Ms... but why are they all green?]

What do you think these are?

[...sexy female M&M edition? No?]

I'm not sure. Let me see them.

[he'll hand them over, but probably not as quickly as Riku would like. that bag smells awfully nice, doesn't it? now, what was it commonly said about the green ones...]

[Hell if she knows. She inspects the bag for rips, tears, or holes, openings of any sort.]

[nothing! if that scent is anything to go by though, they're awfully strong.]

They smell really good.

[like a certain batch of pink cupcakes, perhaps.]

Yeah... Really strong.

[They look safe. The question is whether or not they are. Should she test one?]

[if she doesn't, he certainly will. in fact, he's already starting to reach for the bag again--]

Lets open it and see what they taste like!

[But she is taller and therefore allowed hold it out of his reach.]

Hang on. They should taste like chocolate.

[She splits the bag open and shakes two of them out, holding one in her palm and one between her thumb and index finger to look at it closely.]

But you need to be careful, because... Well, it's called 'trick or treat' for a reason. Sometimes people will give you something that looks like candy when it's not.

[he'll pout at that. they look and feel just like the real thing, but when she opens the bag the scent gets even stronger. Roxas gets a strange look on his face when he smells it. he feels the faint beginnings of a stirring, can you guess where?]

That smell's making me feel funny, Riku.

[This is not a good sign. She sets the bag down and pulls the one up to her nose to take in a big whiff- and jerks her head away, eyes wider. She certainly looks more awake.]

Funny how?

[silly Riku, you're supposed to waft it, not snort it. Roxas is looking more and more uncomfortable the longer the candy is there and open.]

Like a.. tingle. In my stomach.

...what do you mean?

[She is trashing these things, no doubts.]

[he's starting to look a little flushed, and like he really wants to try one of those, despite his discomfort. it's a good thing his tunic goes down so far.]

Kind of like.. like a tickle. I don't know. Maybe if I eat one, it'll go away.

... I don't think that's a good idea, if they're making you feel funny.

[Why on earth would you want to, in that situation? She's going to train you a watchdog or something, Roxas.]

But they smell so good.

[something is clearly interfering with his logic.]

[She can tell. But she can't tell what. She curls her fingers around the two in her hand, looking down at the bag.]

... I think we should get you something else.

Can't I have just one? To see what it tastes like?

[he's licking his lips, stepping closer to her to get closer to that bag.]

[Don't do it, Roxas.]

Why do you want them so badly?
