[[is it still trick or treating? if not ignore said post and I'll change it later]]

Jocelyn came down the stairs in an old victorian ball gown or crimson and black with bits of gold along the hems giving it a regal yet eerie look to her already pale and creepy persona. Dark hair was bundled up in a messy bun, tendrils falling down her neck. Fangs lay in her mouth, giving the appearance of sharp caninies and a cat mask of black and silver was framing her vibrant eyes. "I'm ready for the children... unless they have come already"

Kit waved at Jocelyn as Algernon ran past with his entourage of ankle-biters.

Between keeping one eye on Kit's coffee and experiencing deep envy over Jocelyn's amazingly detailed Victorian gown, PotR was far too distracted to notice an approaching group of hobbits until they had already grabbed her sheet and run away giggling.

Thoughts of coffee gone (but never forgotten), she immediately took off after them. "Stop! My mom doesn't even know that I borrowed it yet! I'll give you candy if you give it back!...Look, a free puppy!"

Galatea practically ran down the stairs, hoping she was in time to do some candy-handing-out before it was time to turn in for the night. She had spent most of the day working on her outfit- a dress that looked like it couldn't decide if it was medieval, fantasy, or Renaissance. Maybe with a bit of gypsy thrown in for good measure.

"Hello, potr!" she said, grabbing a bucket of candy. "Glad you could make it." Hurrying to the door, she started handing candy to the kids, exclaiming over their costumes while they stared at her's, apparently confused.

Lady Death remained up on the garden terrace with Lord Death by her side watching the trick-or-treaters walking up the drive. She had been rather amused by a suspiciously tall figure making it's way toward the house in a yellow sheet, but had now sunk into a rather melancholy mood. She had so looked forward to seeing the children, but her husband had insisted they stay out of sight so as now to scare the youngest of the group.

Lady Death sighed and suddenly caught sight of a small Frodo gazing up at her from across the road. He waved at her tentatively and she, considerably happier, waved back.

"Candy?" A group of little children looked up at Tar. Tar put a smile on [s]that[/s] her face (while laughing at the unintentional Batman reference) and gave each a big handful of the candy she had in her bag. Each child thanked her as she gave them their handful, and Tar smiled widely at them, her red lipstick making her mouth appear wider.

"Hey, she got more than me!" A little boy whined.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not times a thousand!"

"Did too times a million!"

"Ah, no one got more than any one else." Tar said with a small laugh. The little boy grabbed the girl's candy bag and they began to wrestle over it. Tar quickly wrested the bag from both of them, and handed it back to the girl.

"Now go on. Get out of here."

"But she got more than me!" The boy wailed.

"Look, twerp, you have three seconds before I crush you." Tar said, leaning down to look at him in the face. All the children immediately ran off. Tar momentarily felt bad, but her irritation quickly overcame that. "I really really don't like kids." She muttered to herself, as she handed out candy to other children.

After sulking for a bit, Taur went upstairs and changed into a gypsy costume. She came back downstairs and proceeded to help hand out the candy, a bit resentfully at first but soon the smiling faces and thankful cries melted her grudge and she joyfully gave more generously.

Kit heard several chorused screams just then and wondered what other hauntings the ghosts have been doing to the poor trick or treaters. She stood up, her coffee bags still clutched in her arms and rushed to the sound of the screams of children. Some of the kids ran away in the other direction and Kit found herself in the drawing room.

There lay Ea face down, on the floor, with a nearby chair tipped over as if from a frenzy.


Kit gasped and finally let the coffee bags drop and rushed to Ea's side, some few trick-or-treaters crying on the sidelines. "Er... it's okay. She's just sleeping. um..." Kit stood up and ushered the children out of the room, "Go find more candy!! Go!" And with sniffles, they wandered off leaving the traumatic scene behind them.

Kit went back to Ea's side again and tried to turn her to get the pulse on her neck but she choked back a cry when she saw that area upon her face and neck were scorched and burned.

"Oh, that's disgusting!" She exclaimed, and scooted back a little. Next to Ea were shards of broken glass and she saw the top of a coffee maker to the side, the ends stuck out with broken glass.
On the other side of the tipped chair lay a book. Kit curiously bent over and picked it up, flipped it up to the cover and she read: "Acting for Dummies: 101 Tips".

Kit blanked... "Well... what?" She furrowed her eyebrows.


[[YAY MURDER!]]

[[Traumatic? Nah. The Twilight one was harsher.]]

Kit nodded up at Fragile with a sad expression, "I wouldn't come any closer. It's pretty bad." Kit said and picked up the book to hand to Fragile. "Take a look at that." She circled around the body once more to see if there were any more clues.

Indilwen had been cheerfully handing out candies to the children that had been coming in in swarms. "Oooh, she looks like an elf!" one of the little children in Legolas costume exclaimed. "That's because I am..." she explained, her patience beginning to wear out. Suddenly she heard a crash and a loud commotion coming from another room. "You children run along and look for more candy," she said. "I have to go and check something."

She put down her half-empty bucket and raced into the next room. There she saw a most grotesque scene: Kit and Fragile standing over Ea, with a shattered coffee maker.
