[Shortly after the last trick-or-treaters have left, there's a knock on the door. When Matt opens it he'll find Spidey slouched casually against the jamb, fresh off patrol.]

So my inner child's not too old for trick-or-treat, right? Look, I even came in costume.

[mansansfear]

[Matt quirks a brow, popping a piece of chocolate into his mouth.]

What are you supposed to be?

[incywincyhero]

Jiminy Cricket, obviously. And as your conscience, allow me to point out that it's rude to eat and not offer your guests anything.

[Hand creeeeeeping to the candy bowl.]

[mansansfear]

What would I ever do without you.

[He unwraps another chocolate.]

You didn't even say the magic words.

[incywincyhero]

[Fingersnaps!] Hey, you're right!

Abracadabra?

[Butter wouldn't melt in that mouth.]

[mansansfear]

Close enough.

[He sits back in his chair.]

And how was patrol?

[incywincyhero]

[Peter bumps the door closed with his hip, and wanders over to the couch. Not before he leans over to snag a piece of candy or five, though.]

Oh, 'bout the usual. The muggers are back in town already. Guess even an unnatural disaster isn't enough of a wakeup call for some people, not that that's new.

[Om nom nom.]

Nice vampire costume, by the way.

[mansansfear]

I'm not a vampire. I'm a draconian nobleman.

[He says that as deadpan as he possibly can.]

[incywincyhero]

Hmm, I don't know. Stickler I could see, and you can get pretty severe when someone's used the last toilet paper, but draconian? Not so sure about that one.

[mansansfear]

Take it up with Terezi, she's the one who arranged this thing.

[He seems amused by this all at least.]

[incywincyhero]

When are you going to introduce me to this new kid of yours, anyway? You're always talking about her, but somehow she's never around no matter when or how often I step by --

Hey. [He draws the word out, pointing at Matt with a hand still holding an empty chocolate wrapper.]

Are you hiding her from me? That's so unfair! I think I've been pretty good about sharing all my various teenage clones, mini-me's, alternate offspring, and high school counterparts of my college buddies -- least you could do is a little quid pro quo.

[mansansfear]

Yes, that's it exactly.

[Matt wrinkles his nose.]

The kid keeps to herself. And to the other trolls. She's actually pretty skittish around adults. But if you swing by during business hours, you'll probably catch her.

[incywincyhero]

And stop tying to cadge lunch off you, which I'm sure you'll appreciate.

[On that note, he grabs another three chocolates.]

[mansansfear]

My stomach and pocket book will appreciate it.

[He unwraps another chocolate too. Natasha bought them after all.]

[incywincyhero]

Hey, it's not like I never return the favor. And May feeds you all the time.
