Shock either didn't hear Carmilla, or blatantly ignored her. Either way, the oldest trickster was up the second rope ladder and on the bridge before Carmilla could finish speaking. She ran towards Halloween Town. She ignored the dirt and uneven path under her stockinged feet as she put her focus into what she was going to do to Finkelstein when she got there.

Knock the old man out of his wheelchair, for one. Make use of his own tools, for another. He had volatile and explosive chemicals; those [i]alone[/i] sounded fun in her devious mind. Jewel had better not get in her way, either - she had no qualms with taking her out too. Lock and Barrel ran behind her, eager to assist their older sister in whatever trouble she was cooking up.

Lock shot Carver a grin. Whatever Shock was planning, he knew the pumpkin creature would get his chance to assist. He and Barrel might just be back-up, but the fact that they'd all get to play was already making up for their cancelled band session. He saw Lillith fly nearby and grinned wider.

Right. She [i]did[/i] make a promise. More than that, he knew she could be just as devious when she wanted to be. When Lillith reformed beside him, Lock set his focus back on the mission. His grin faded into determination for justice.

Barrel giggled as he ran and playfully nudged Carver.

"We'll get our popcorn after this," he said cheerfully.

He caught another bat catching up. It looked like Carmilla was joining the fun too. Hey, the more the merrier! Like Lock, his amusement better faded to anger the closer they got to Halloween Town. Trouble was fun, but Shock's fury quickly spread to her brothers.

The main gate opened to let the horde of angry teenagers into Halloween Town. Once she entered the square, Shock stopped for a moment to make sure Carver, at least, had caught up, as the pumpkin creature's heavier body meant a slower speed. As angry as she was, she wasn't about to deny her friend his rightfully-earned front row seat to the chaos bubbling in her mind.

A few monsters came and went, as some of them did in the day. A mummified teen with a crocodile skull was talking and laughing with what appeared to be a human in a Letterman jacket near the fountain. Mr. Hyde walked out of the courtyard where the witch's shop sat. Clown and Behemoth passed by. Clown noticed the trio and peddled faster on his unicycle to get away from them. Shock looked furious, and he was [i]not[/i] about to get in her way and be pushed off his unicycle [i]again[/i]. Sadbh the banshee flew by with a quick glance to the group, and like Clown, made haste to get away from them.
