"Come on, come on! Next house is right over the hill!"Roux could hear the next batch of treat-seekers before they even reached the door, so he just went ahead and opened the door to watch the next crew roll in. He could see them from some distance even in the twilit sky. A Palowockee dressed in greasy black wig and trench coat, a Neowockee dressed in her finest black and white pinstiped suit, and a little Haunted Kuhna with....a sheet with holes cut out for better vision? Aw man.
Quickly abandoning his 'costume', Roux slid it behind him with a paw just in time for the trio to bound over the last few feet separating them from the doorway.
"This is Halloween, this is Halloween. Trick or treat til the dead of night!" Skellington beamed, hoisting her candy pail all but directly under Roux's nose. Zero stood beside her, placing his own basket down as he did his best to mimic the bark of the ghost dog from the movies. W.K. came up last, a lollipop already in hand.
Roux didn't even notice the spider from the Kuhna's tail creeping into the basket to begin pilfering his owner more candy that he had earned.
"Oh, ah...t-that's from Nightmare B-before Christmas, right?"
"Sure is! Only movie that's ever been worth making!" Skellington chimed back as she gave her loot another wiggle.
"So, trick or treat! Just like I already said in my song.""Oh, ah, it's free choice. Here. T-take whatever you like."
Skellington and Zero attacked the bowl with gusto while W.K. hung back rather oddly.
"Sup dude. Awesome of you to stay and house sit for the lady so she could go enjoy the holiday too." He offered awkwardly before popping his lollipop into his mouth to avoid further conversation.
As the trio left the crinkling of wrappers caught Roux's attention. There was a trail of candy stringing along behind the Haunted Kuhna and there, perched right atop the cat's back, sat the spider reeling it in!
Stomping on the remainder to break the chain of web holding the candy hostage, Roux looked with dismay into the almost empty bucket. Well, he'd have to go to the kitchen to get some more...
