You hesitate a little as you walk up to this house. It seems to be set farther back in the lane than the others, tucked around the corner, as if hiding. Tall trees hug its walls, and curtains flow blackly behind its shut windows. But on the porch, two pumpkins are carved and lit, and they smile at you. On your way past the pumpkins, you hear piano music tinkling. It stops. There is a rustling, and then the door slowly opens. One head peers out-- followed by a second. Two identical heads, framed by neatly-combed dark hair, attached to one body in a glittering purple dress. One head looks straight at you, while the other looks shyly downward. Sery and Vina murmur "Hi" in unison. Sery holds forth a plate of biscuits with strawberry jam, while Vina brings forward the opposing hand with a bowl of marshmallows. Which will you have? |

Decked out in a Santa-themed ballgown, Snaw reaches a white gloved hand towards the biscuits and jam. "These will be perfects for my upcoming Holiday gala!" Snaw takes a bite, relishing in the jam's tart yet sweet flavor.
Wearing a festive elf hat, Charlie the Llama takes a marshmallow and chews it.
"Well lovelies, I am here to spread some pre-Christmas cheer!" Snaw twirls. "One can never prepare for the holidays too early!" With a flourish, Snaw reveals a large brown sack. "Now then, is there anything around I can fill up this bag with?"

A friendly little robot scampers up, carrying a basket of more goodies: pumpkin bars, chocolates, and dried fruit.  It beeps merrily at Snaw and Charlie. |

"Trick or treat!" CursedPirate!Riel declares as he approaches the home of Sery and Vina. "Arr, what neat looking pumpkins!" he says as he admires them. "Hihi Hissi!" He grins when they open the door. "A marshmallow for me, please! Chocolate covered if ye can spare it -- gotta appease the golden sweet tooth. And which of you plays the piano? I play violin, meself."

Jess comes up the the twins, basket, top hat, and guinea pig in tow. "Ooh, I think I'll have the strawberry jam and biscuits, thanks!"
The guinea pig squeaks hopefully at the mention of strawberry. "No, Taffy, it isn't fresh fruit," says the girl.

Sery hands over the biscuits, while Vina pats the guinea pig's head. "I think we might have just the thing for guinea pigs, actually!" Vina says. And as if on cue, the friendly robot clatters forward with some fresh fruit and grass.

A friendly little robot scampers up, carrying a basket of more goodies: pumpkin bars, chocolates, and dried fruit. It beeps merrily at Snaw and Charlie. Snaw cheerfully stuffs all the rest in their sack before taking the robot, too. "My, Christmas really has come early this year! And I'm not saying that because the stores are starting to sell Christmas items." Charlie the llama hands the host a candy cane. |

The guinea pig purrs happily when given the fresh fruit and grass.
"Thank you," says Jess. "So very thoughtful."
The girl munches on her own gift next. "Tasty!" she says with her mouth full.

"Ah, ye two play the piano beautifully!" CursedPirate!Riel compliments the Hissis before he whips out his ghost!violin. "Care to jam?"
He sneaks another marshmallow when no one is looking.

And I'm not saying that because the stores are starting to sell Christmas items." Charlie the llama hands the host a candy cane. The robot snuggles amongst the candy, beeping contentedly. Later in the evening, when Sery and Vina are cleaning up, they notice that their Petpet has gone missing! Where could it be?? There is a knock at the door. Could there still be trick-o'-treaters this late? The sisters cautiously answer the door. A tired little robot rolls in and collapses on the ground. Its surface is sticky with candy. "Oh dear, looks like we'll have to clean him again," Vina says, and Sery stifles a laugh. |

Back in the North Pole, Snaw rummages through their sack. "Charlie, have you seen that little robot I stole?"
Charlie the llama shrugs. He shifts his eyes, hoping Snaw would never know that he freed the robot while they flew in their sleigh.
