Jughead glances up from the passenger seat, his expression deadpan as he watches Archie light up like a kid on a sugar high. “You realize pumpkins are just… orange gourds that rot slower than your decision-making skills, right?” he mutters, but there’s the faintest smirk tugging at his mouth. He sighs, flipping his beanie off long enough to rake a hand through his hair. “Fine. But if you think I’m carving one of those things, you’re delusional. I’ll supervise. Judge your artistic choices. Maybe steal your cider.” He pauses, side-eyeing his best friend. “You’re lucky I like watching you make a mess of perfectly innocent produce.”

"Kids," Billy repeated, fingers freezing on the candy rack. "We're giving candy to kids?" He laughed, but, it came out wrong. High and sharp, like glass breaking in his throat. "I can't just...play house. What the hell?" He could feel panic beginning to rise within him, a heat on the back of his neck and a hammering in his chest. "I don't..." He stopped, "I'm not normal. I can't just..." He dropped the chocolate like it burnt him and stepped back, trying to remove himself enough to calm down. "Is this a joke? I don't know you. I don't know me. I don't know why, but, the idea of handing out candy makes me wanna...I'm gonna throw up." @sirensoundsx

Elias tilted his head slightly, a shy smile tugging at his lips, gripping his cane a little tighter as he stood in a quiet corner of the community hall. "Haunted? Nah. I mean, I don't think so, at least." He chuckled lightly, though his fingers continued to fidget with the ribbon tied around his wrist. "I mean, I've been coming here a bit to…y'know, get out of the house, and I haven't heard any spooky chains rattling, or anything like that. Mostly just people arguing over whose turn it is to make the tea." He paused, tilting his head further to one side, listening for something. "Unless, you've seen something I haven't? Not that I'd see it, exactly, but, um…you know what I mean." @sirensoundsx

"You're surprised?" Chris smirked, a glint in his eye. "Chick's a walking train wreck. Total drama queen. Probably just fishing for attention, flipping her hair and thinking she's hot stuff while losing it on everyone. Girls like that always have issues." He snickered, "Probably crying in the bathroom right now. Let her crash and burn. I'm not wasting my time playing nice with her. Not unless she makes it worth my while to care." @sirensoundsx
