Halloween decorations tremble above the quiet residential street as Sora glides beneath the streetlamp, her orange Jack-o'-lantern glowing against her blue, transparent form. Rosemary Cedar pauses over the open candy bags.
Rosemary Cedar
All right, one, two, three... wait. Someone fell behind again.
Lady Death, Gugu Gaga, Kalista Mercer, Serenity Kazuhara, Umbra Thorn, Yui Nagashima, and Sazabi's Brent Mercer stand nearby with their candy bags open, watching the route regroup.
Yui Nagashima
Maybe our missing trick-or-treater found a better porch.
Gugu Gaga
Gugu gaga.
Rosemary spots Sora approaching and lifts one hand, while Kalista angles her candy bag toward the newcomer. Nobody closes the gap; the group waits to learn whether Sora is joining them.
Sora
Trick or Treat.
Rosemary Cedar
There you are. Are you coming with us, or did you just stop by for candy?
The streetlamp hums overhead. Open bags rustle softly as the gathered group looks from Rosemary to Sora, leaving the next choice entirely in her hands.

“I nod to Rosemary and join their route.”
SUCCESS (Superb Charm, rolled +0)
Sora nods to Rosemary, her glowing Jack-o'-lantern dipping once, then glides into the loose line beside the other trick-or-treaters.
Rosemary Cedar
Perfect. Stay with us, and you can take the next house on the left.
Rosemary closes the candy bags and starts down the sidewalk. Kalista falls in beside Sora, while the others reform their cheerful route behind them.
Kalista Mercer
Good choice. The blue lights at the next porch usually mean the big candy bars.
Gugu Gaga
Gugu gaga!
The group passes beneath strings of paper bats and glowing pumpkins. Their bags bump softly against their legs as the next decorated house comes into view.
Yui Nagashima
All right, team. Let us see whether that porch is generous tonight.
