Carmilla took a deep breath, then smoothed her features into a mask of genteel politeness. "Fine, I guess I'll just have to make myself able to go around."

She transformed into a bat and flew under the ladder. Once she got to the other side, she shifted back into her humanoid form. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room for her full size between the ladder and the shelf she needed to get to, and the sudden shifting shunted Shock's platform sideways. The ladder clattered to the ground. Shock managed to grab onto the broom to prevent herself from falling, and was left hanging from it. 

Agatha payed enough attention as the ladder fell to know it was going to fall into the center of the floor, then quickly went back to reading. The merchandise wasn't in danger, and she still didn't want to get involved if she didn't have to.

"Oh [i]my[/i], I'm so [i]sorry[/i]!" Carmilla batted her eyelashes up at the dangling trick-or-treater. "I guess, being blind as a bat, I miscalculated how much space there was over here. Such a [i]shame[/i]..."

Agatha choked back a snicker and pretended to be engrossed in her magazine.
