"Must I do this again?"

It took a few tries, but Nanaki carried a bucket of treats in his mouth. Setting it down, he sat on fours, his tail slowly waving a bit. Tifa helped him wear that one Uniform that he wore back on that cargo ship. This time,he didn't have to toddle around on two legs. He sat down this time, pulling off one of the boots off his back feet. Growling a bit, he rested himself by sitting. A kind person at the village of Kalm thought it be nice for him to use their house for on coming trick or treaters.

His ears pricked up, wondering if anyone would arrive.

She never typically strayed too far from Laucio... no, she felt safe with him. However, on this night of horrors frights, and goodies, Oroth felt a little more comfortable walking about dressed in her attire from her kingdom. She was dressed in her princess garb from her lands, and something she was happy enough for others to see as a costume.

There was an event similar like this one in Oroth's lands, though she was more familiar with the fact that that was more of a formal party that celebrated spirits passed and helped lost souls move on to their next plane of existence.

These events seemed to be more for toddlers and children, but it seemed that a lot of older folks enjoyed themselves as well. The joy came in dressing up -- and not just following any kind of theme! Oroth was amazed that there were so many people dressed as so many different things! It was like a conglomerate of all these different cultures and references! It was interesting to have said the least.

After a while, Oroth's attention was broken from someone who had stopped her asking for a photo. She looked to the large, fiery orange beast that sat upon the porch of a house.

Excusing herself from the stranger, Oroth went up to the house to see the cat. Of course, most animals back where she came from did not often talk back, Oroth did ask while holding her hand out: "hello there~ Aren't you just a big fella? Bigger than most of the felines I see in my homeland.... Are you okay with being pet?"

Of course, as Oroth asks, she continues inching her fingers ever closer, hoping to pet the large cat before her.

A giggle came from a tall and childlike woman as she roamed the streets in a black witch's outfit that was cut the same as her usual wear. If anything, it was exactly like her usual outfit with a black and silver color scheme and a matching pointed hat. But it was Halloween, so it was always good to get in the spirit. She had already gathered a bunch of candy earlier in the night, but there were many more places to go and indulge her sweet tooth.

However, it seemed this area didn't have many trick-or-treaters or open houses, which was a shame. Then again, the monsters nearby may have been a reason why. Regardless, she continued on until she spotted the silly looking Red XIII sitting near a house and cooed a little. "Aww, w-well don't you look, look adorable~?" She squealed with her usual stutter here and there, leaning over to examine him a bit more. He had a huge pot of candy next to him, and looked none too pleased with sitting out here alone... From Creatia's eyes at least. Did someone set him out here as a gimmick? She pondered. She wasn't sure if it was okay to take the candy or not, though...

He scratched his one ear with his back leg. From the leg that he managed to get the boot off. His ears perked up as he saw two people arrive at the step of the mansion. He bowed his head a bit. He didn't mind being petted. Humans, creatures. All were trust worthy to him. That is if they were not a certain Mad Man who liked to perform experiments. He didn't bother answering these questions.

"Tifa and Yuffie want me to get into spirit of things." Red XIII said. "After all. It seems fun and I enjoyed it last time. Would you like some treats? They are from various parts of Gaia. "

Using his front paw, he pushed the bucket over.

"I would give you some, but having paws makes it difficult."

Oroth only gave a passing glance to Creatia before patting the large cat-like being on the head and then going head to scrubbing his cheeks and back behind his ears. There was a smile of delight upon Oroth's lips as she continued this.

Pulling back after Red XIII spoke, Oroth gave a small squeak of surprise. She had not really expected the beast to speak, that was for certain. However, once she got over her initial shock, she did what she could to compose herself with a smile.

"That's very generous of you, thank you!" Oroth said, reaching over to pluck out a couple candies. She had no idea what was what, but she chose some of the candies that looked appetising... or at least pleasant to look at, wrapping-wise.

The princess then turned the bowl upright, putting some of the candies back for Red XIII. As he had said, having paws made it difficult. At least she could ease the clean up process.

Hearing the creature speak startled Creatia, but only for a moment before cooing even more, her eyes sparkling with delight while the gears in her mind turned a bit. She had heard those names before. Tifa and Yuffie? I think those names popped up in the MFA database a few times. And a few others were talking about them as I came in... Giving no mind to the information, she followed the woman's lead and gave the talking dog --or was it a cat?-- a few soft pets behind the ear before helping with a few stray treats that fell further out of the bowl and taking a few to drop in her basket.

After the clean up was done, she smiled. "Th-thank you for the, uhm... For the treats, mister~! T-take care!" She could've been wrong about his gender, but his voice seemed masculine enough. Giving a quick and polite curtsey, she wandered off with a clumsy step or two in her stroll.

Fumbling in her pockets for something as she moved along towards a dark alleyway, she pulled out a small device topped with a crystal. "Time for the, the next stop!" With a few button presses, the device whirred before ripping open a small rift deep inside the alley. Carefully sliding the device back into her pocket, she ran through the freshly made portal with a stumble and disappeared inside, the rift closing behind her soon after.

Nanaki bowed his head. These people were rather friendly. His tail waved a bit . Bowing his head again, he would lay down, with his head on his paws, awaiting more people to come.

"This day is rather amazing.I wish Grandfather could see this. He would smile, seeing that the faces of happy humans have made me feel better. I do wonder. Would Vincent like this day?"

Lingering for a couple seconds longer after she had finished cleaning up with Creatia, Oroth gave a gracious bow to Nanaki. She then reached out and pet him a couple more times since he did not seem to mind before.

Withdrawing her hand after a moment and adjusting the bag that hung at her side, Oroth said to the large beast: "it was a pleasure to make your acquaintance, o magnificent beast. I hope that you enjoy the rest of your festive evening. Take care!"

Oroth smiled to herself as she turned to depart. She was quite happy with the festive events that were taking place. She and Laucio were offered free food, and were treated to other neat things such as shows and games. This night was certainly an interesting one!

The next visitor was accompanied by a cadre of nursemaids and armed guards, some fussing over their little charge and some giving eagle-eyed looks at the surrounding area for any signs of trouble. It could be very stressful when the children of the elite wanted to get in on the Halloween fun...

The large group stops at the edge of the yard, and from the midst of them emerges an almost impossibly delicate little girl. Her hair is so pale white it almost glows under the moon light, and her skin is such a dark grey it is almost black as onyx. She is dressed in an adorably tiny ball gown, complete with a hoop skirt and a masquerade mask bedazzled with gems and feathers. With her entire group of caretakers looking on from fifteen feet away, she carefully makes her way up the steps and knocks.
