Society, We Have a Problem
Beatrix dons a witch costume for the purpose of completing an assignment for the Society. She makes a batch of candy to complement her disguise, but that only causes the city children to chase her around.
Beatrix: Oh, come on! Shoo! Go bother someone else!
(Captain) and company hear shouts coming from the direction of a festively decorated street.
Beatrix, dressed as a witch, runs frantically into view.
Beatrix: Oh! (Captain)! Good timing! Um... could you hide me?
Lyria: Hide you? Are you being chased?
The crew peeks behind her and sees a mob of costumed kids pumping their little legs.
Costumed Kid 1: Boogabooga! Give us candy!
Costumed Kid 2: We need more! Hand it over or you'll be sorry!
Beatrix: Aaah! They're still after me!
Vyrn: Why are they after you? Did you do something to them?
Beatrix: I'll explain later! Just find me a place to hide!
(Captain) nods at Beatrix. After a quick search, they duck into a nearby tavern.
Beatrix: Phew. Safe at last. Thanks a bunch, (Captain).
Lyria: Um, can I ask what happened to you?
Beatrix: Heheh! As a matter of fact, I just received a new mission from the Society!
Beatrix: It seems there's a kidnapper hiding in this city, and they're on our wanted list.
Beatrix: If I wear a costume, I might be able to lure the target out. That's why I'm dressed as a witch.
Vyrn: Well, that explains the getup. I thought you were just in the mood for Halloween.
Beatrix: Heheh. Nope! This is for the mission.
Vyrn: Gotcha. So what's with the kids?
Beatrix: Oh, that. Um, you see...
Her cheeks turn the faintest shade of red as she mumbles something under her breath.
Upon closer inspection, she appears to be hiding something. (Captain) reaches over and grabs it.
Beatrix: H-hey! That was my last one!
Lyria: Is this... candy?
Beatrix: Yeah. I heard you're supposed to give out candy today, so I made a big batch.
Beatrix: I was handing them out to everybody when those kids swarmed me.
Vyrn: Wahaha! Is that part of your mission too? Aren't you just doing regular Halloween stuff?
Beatrix: No, I'm not! It's just that... well...
Beatrix: I've never participated in Halloween before, and I wanted to have a little fun.
Beatrix: But that's part of my master strategy! It's all about strategy!
Vyrn: Right, right. Strategy.
Beatrix: Hey, what's with that tone? I'm serious! If I dressed up as a normal person—
Lyria: (Captain)... Why don't we try her candy?
Beatrix: Let me finish! Geez, even you're against me, Lyria!
Lyria: Ack! I'm sorry. It's just that your candy looks so delicious.
Beatrix: Really? Well, I guess I can't stay mad at you. Heheh.
Vyrn: (Geez. Simple-minded as always.)
Beatrix: It's my last one, but I'll let you guys have it. Heheh.
Lyria: Yay! Let's eat, everyone!
Lyria splits the candy into three pieces and hands one to Vyrn and another to (Captain).
(Captain)'s eyes fly open as soon as the candy touches their tongue.
Lyria: Beatrix... Is that all you have?
Beatrix: Huh? I guess I could make more, but that's all I have right now.
Vyrn: Now I get why those kids were following you.
Lyria: What kind of candy is this? It's amazingly delicious!
Beatrix: Oh, really? Uh, thanks?
Vyrn: You sure that was the last one? You ain't holding out on us, are you?
Lyria: Sniff, sniff. I think I smell something... Drool...
Beatrix: I said I don't have any more! That's why I ran!
Vyrn: Really?
Beatrix: Yes, really! Hey, (Captain)! Say something to them!
Vyrn: Yep, you know the rules. If you don't have a treat, it's time to get tricked...
Lyria: Maybe she'll give us more candy if we trick her enough...
Beatrix: There's nothing left!
Beatrix: Oh no, stay back! Stop!
Beatrix: I'm in trouble no matter what! You're just out to get me, aren't you?
(Captain) nods, a devilish smile on their face.
Beatrix: Your honesty is refreshing. I guess I have no choice but to say...
Beatrix: No way! Absolutely not!

Lyria: Give us candy...
Beatrix: Why won't you believe me? That was the last one!
Vyrn: Then get ready to get pranked. Bwahaha!
Beatrix: Ugh. No thanks! Stay away!
Beatrix bolts from the tavern.
Costumed Kid 1: I found her! I found her!
Costumed Kid 2: Give us the candy, Miss Witch, or you're gonna get it!
Beatrix: Waaah! I'm trapped! This wasn't in the mission briefing!
She runs from the relentless kids and the crew, screaming the entire time.
But even as she runs from her pursuers, something about the expression on her face almost looks... happy.
