It's a rainy night as you make your rounds, collecting candy from all the houses on the road. You're not quite sure what made you wander this far from the city, but you've had a good time and one house even had Fizzing Whizbees, somehow. You decided to save those for later, just in case a wind came along and blew you off track.
You pause. A little ways off the road is a strange-looking green humanoid carrying a bag. It seems to be trying to sneak, but its costume- or is that its body?- keeps getting in the way. You take a few steps toward it but it keeps going, not noticing you. You decide it's probably just another trick-or-treater and call out to it.
The thing stops dead in its tracks and falls to the ground. When you arrive, you see...
A bush.
A large green bush with a sign hanging on it that says, in what looks like fingerpaint, "Not A Faerie!"
You clear your throat.
The bush moves just a little. Upon seeing you, it stands up to reveal... Azzie? Covered in leaves? What in the world is she doing here?
"Oh, good, it's you!" she says. "Uh. I know this looks weird. I can explain. Ah, would you like a candy?" She opens her bag and pulls out some little chocolate bars.
"Okay, so here's the story. I don't know if you remember a couple years back, but I had everything all set up at my hammock for Halloween." You vaguely remember something about that, a little spot on Mage Manor property she called her "house", but was really just a couple trees and a hammock strung between them.
She continues. "Well, I'd love to be there again this year. But I can't!"
"Because you're too busy dressing up like a bush?" you say.
"No! Well, that's why I'm dressed up like this. Ever since Mage Manor went under siege, the grounds have been constantly patrolled by undead! And they're really grumpy. I still think this can be fixed, but these things... they're mindless. And they won't give me my stuff back no matter how nicely I ask!" Azzie frowns. "I've had to stay at other people's houses since about May. A few months back I got a job that came with a little house, but I'm not used to it, especially not sleeping in a bed! If I roll around it hurts my wings, and I keep waking myself up. So I'm going to sneak back and get my things." She hoists her candy bag up on her shoulder, and you can see that her wings, like the rest of her, have been completely covered in leaves.
"I at least want my hammock back. Maybe I can sneak the rest of my stuff too. So... wanna come? It might be fun!"
