Shock just kept chipping away at the glue, completely unaware of Agatha's thoughts. She would retain her good mood until the drollness of her punishment overrode the high.

Once the wall was fixed, Lock assisted at the pumpkin carving station to clean up bits of shell and guts for compost, and to place the seeds in a bucket to give to Behemoth later. Here and there, he took a break and carved a pumpkin, both to help out and to break up the monotony of the task. He'd even taken one of Carver's lazy "tombstones" from the previous day and detailed it a bit more.

Lock finished the tombstone pumpkin, then went back to collecting pumpkin innards and flesh. He reminded himself that there was less than two weeks to Halloween, when their punishment was over.
