6PM ] [ Out to the City

[huntersdaughter]

The city might have too many leaves to handle right now, but that won't stop these hyperactive kids that have already been eating some of the candy they've been given. Leading them out to the different shops, Jo intends on making sure that none of them get lost in the leaves.

[ooc: Businesses! Feel free to drop a comment into this and we'll have kids drop by!]

caritas }

[letsbe_clear]

[Cordy spent most of the morning going all out to get ready for this. Caritas is done up like a haunted forest, with trees and such covering the walls and stage. She even used some of the leaves from outside to give it more of a realistic effect.

All of the tables have been moved to the side for the kids, save for one, which is where Cordelia is sitting in the back. She's dressed up as a fortune teller and has a crystal ball in front of her, as well as the bowl with the candy in it.

make your way over and she may tell your fortune -- or fake it, at least]

[Mindy has been here before. That skeevy pervert hung out at this bar. Angel.

Huh. She keeps her eyes peeled as she moves through the place. When she doesn't see any sign of him, she exhales in relief and heads to join the rest of the group.]

Are you really a fortune teller? I mean, back home are you a gypsy, too?

[letsbe_clear]

[ ... oh, Angel, you're just making friends all over, aren't you?

looks over at her with a smile]

Not a gypsy, but I did get visions of the future.

[Elektra spent a good chunk of the early hours of the morning decorating to make the shop perfect for the occasion. She may not care for any of this but, she knows Ukitake would so she puts forward her best effort. There's paper laterns, ghosts, and toy skeletons decoration around the shop.

Elektra is dressed as Artemis the Huntress complete with a real bow, arrows, and a large hunting knife strapped to her thigh. She's got a bowl of the smaller version of their more popular candy (chocolate frogs for example) but, if you ask Elektra will happily let you have the big version of whatever you want.]

[Once Mindy knows the next destination, she bolts off ahead of the group. She makes her way through the leaves and opens the door, glacing in and then being a bit sad because she always forgets that Ukitake isn't there anymore.

Nodding, she holds her head up and goes to talk to Elektra.]

I beat everyone here.

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra glances past her.] I see that. I guess you deserve a reward.

[She gestures vaguely to the shelves with her head.] Grab whatever you want.

[i_neverplay]

[The vague gesture is her best friend. You know those lucite bins that hold the bulk candy?

She just took the whole bin of mini-gummi bears. YEP. the whole thing.]

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra's caring about that ends with acknowledging she'll need to make more later.]

Are you going to be able to carry that the whole way?

[i_neverplay]

Uhm... Yes. I think so. [She'll just ... figure it out.]

Magic Box

[its_worthdoing]

[A variety of appropriate decorations can be found throughout the shop. And the apple bobbing. There has to be bobbing --]

[i_neverplay]

[Oooh barrel of water and apples.]

I bet I'm awesome at this.

[its_worthdoing]

[That earns a very Willow-y smile]

It seems to me like confidence has to be key. That and an ability to hold your breath?

[i_neverplay]

Oh, I'm good at holding my breath. [Her dad used to time her.]

What do I win? Besides an apple.

[its_worthdoing]

You know? I don't -- [Willow hadn't thought any further than the apples]

You could pick something from the shop?

[i_neverplay]

Really? Isn't this a magic shop? Is everything magic?
