Lock and Shock both snickered at Carmilla's frustration, but let the vampiress have her space. It wouldn't do to wind her up too early so she left before things could [i]really[/i] get fun. Besides, that wine might just get her to loosen up a bit.

"Need anything?" Lock asked Lillith. "Pretty sure I can find something big enough to hold it in the kitchen."

His tail found its way to the back of her legs, gave her an affectionate smack at the base of her ass, then ran along her calves. Over at Carver's couch, Sobki looked simultaneously impressed and horrified.

"He...[i]what[/i]?" Sobki asked. "Jack? The Pumpkin King [i]let them[/i] wreak havoc?"

"Sure did," Lock said with a grin.

Barrel started to fill a plate full of snacks. He had to call a bit across the room to join the conversation.

"It was for a good cause."

All three of them snickered. Shock, having gotten a few things from the snack table, wandered back over to Carver and Sobki.

"It's a shame we didn't get to actually [i]see[/i] it go off, though," she said. "All that silicate powder would have covered the lab like snow - and been a bitch to clean up."

She cackled as Agatha finally arrived.

"Oh, just a little trick we played on Finkle-stain," she said, before taking a drink of her lager. "Jack let me make a bomb. It was fun."

Barrel looked up from filling his plate to see Agatha arrive. He stuffed the current handful of snake chips in his mouth so he could offer her his hand to get down.

"Looths guth," he said, then quickly swallowed his chips. "Looks good."

Barrel gestured to the table.

"Snacks?" he asked.

Shock smirked at Agatha.

"Black, or black with a smidge of green. Such a [i]hard[/i] choice."

She took another sip of her drink, then made a quick head count, not that there were many guests to wait for.

"Looks like the party's all here," she said, "so let's kick the music up a bit, and Carver, get off that couch so we can celebrate!"
