Feisty Fear Fest
Rosetta and (Captain) are hoping to get Lich to socialize with other crew members this Halloween. Coincidently, Lady Grey and Danua need one more person to fill in at a haunted-house style attraction. Despite feeling that she might've been duped into helping with the attraction, Lich vows to use her talents to scare the pants off guests.
???: Sigh...
Terror Trek Barker: This is it, folks! Our town's thrillingest Halloween spectacle, the Walk of Terror, is finally ready to go! Let's give opening night our all!
Lich: Can't believe I got roped into working an event meant for hormonal extros...
Lich rolls her eyes at her coworkers, who are pumped up for the popular seasonal attraction. How did it come to this?
The crew is running errands for yet another busy Halloween season. Lich watches them work from a distance.
Lich: Yawn... Such busy little bees. Extros sure love touching grass.
Lich: But as for me, I sleep. I'm out of here.
Rosetta: Hey, Lichi. Can I borrow you for a sec?
Lich: Sorry, Rose. I've got a date with my pillow. Good night.
Lich tries to sidestep her fellow primal only to hit a wall named (Captain).
Lich: Whoa. Where'd you come from?
Rosetta: As I'm sure you've noticed, everyone in the crew has their hands full helping with the latest Halloween job request, so we were wondering...
Choose: Can you pitch in too, Lichi?
Lich: Oh, please... Halloweiners use honoring the long-lost dead just as an excuse to get loud and party.
Rosetta: Now, now, that was uncalled for. Besides, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get to know the others in the crew.
Rosetta: Who knows? You might even discover clues that will help in your hunt for Boneby.
Lich: Hrrm... Still...
(Captain) can't stand Lich's waffling any longer and starts dragging her away by the arm.
Lich: Hey! Wait!
(Captain) has brought Lich to the town, where Halloween activities are in full swing.
Lich: These costume shops are really cashing in on the holiday craze.
Lich: It's like the whole town's turned into a playground for a girls' night out.
Lich: Nyeeheehee. I have to hand it to the party animals; they know how to have a good time.
Rosetta: There is that side of it, but I'd say Halloween tries to be fun for all ages.
Danua: Problem...
Hansel: Danua says we've got a problem.
Gretel: Thanks for the report, Captain Obvious!
Lady Grey: Hm... Where can we find a suitable candidate?
Husband & Son: ...
Lich: Wow, that's an elaborate mummy costume, with dolls and everything. As for the flying skeleton—
Lich: What the! Boneby?
Lich: I have no idea what you're doing here, but you're not slipping away this time! Raaagh!
Instantly recognizing Lich's mistake, (Captain) sprints over to Lady Grey.
(Captain) intercepts the magic spell fired from Lich's staff and belts it into the sky.
Lich: Nooo! Why, (Captain)! I had him!
Rosetta: Look closer, Lichi! That's not Boneby!
Lich: Huh? He's not? Never mind! False alarm!
Chagrined, Lich quickly waves her staff, and the magic spell dissipates into a colorful mist across the sky.
Terror Trek Barker: Holy roly poly! I've never seen fireworks like that before! Did it come from that slim cutie?
Judging from the murmurs of the crowd, the onlookers seem to think they've just witnessed a rehearsal for the town's upcoming Halloween exhibition.
Lich: Er, it wasn't that special... I mean, I wasn't even really trying or anything.
Lady Grey: Excuse me! You there!
Lich: Ack! S-sorry! I'll go crawl into a hole and die now!
Lady Grey: How did you conjure that spell?
Lich: Huh? You're not going to smack me?
Danua: Cool!
Hansel: You heard the little lady. Danua thinks your magic is amazing.
Gretel: Who are you? Are you part of (Captain)'s crew?
Lich: Er... I'm...
Rosetta: This is Lichi, and yes, she happens to be traveling with us.
Lich freezes up from the sudden spotlight aimed her way. Rosetta and (Captain) step in to introduce her.
Lich: I'm sorry I attacked you without warning.
Husband & Son: ...
Lady Grey: Thankfully no one was hurt. My dears say not to worry about it.
Lady Grey: Actually, after seeing your talent, we'd like to ask a favor of you.
Lich: What kind of favor?
Danua: Haunted...
Gretel: Can you help us with a haunted forest attraction?
Lich: A what?
Lady Grey: The town is sponsoring a haunted-house style walk through a forest as part of its fright festivities, but there's an emergency need for scare actors.
Lady Grey: I bet you'd look fabulous in a costume, and your magic skill is icing on the cake! Well? Can we count on you?
Danua: Please...
Hansel: Look, Danua's even bowing to you.
Gretel: Can't say no now, right? Come on! Don't let the kid down!
Lich: Uh...
Lich: (Bonding with colleagues to put on a big event is some supremely extro stuff...)
Lich: (But the thing is, these two seem way more like intros to me...)
Lich: (Wait, why am I even considering this? These types of dark mazes are practically built for lovers to hang off each other!)
Lich: Yeah, sorry, I think I'm gonna—
Rosetta: You know, Lichi, wouldn't this be the perfect chance to show the world just how talented you are at pranking mortals?
Lich: Y-you think so?
Rosetta: Sure! In fact, you might never get another chance like this again. Besides, how do we even know you're not all talk?
Lich: You really know how to force a girl's hand, Rose.
Lich: Pft, from what? Making people pee their pants is like taking candy from a baby!
Lich: Do I look chicken? I'll show those happy-go-lucky fools how scary I can be!

Rosetta: Hahaha... I'll take that as a yes to help?
Lich: Heeheehee! Yeah, I got this!
Lady Grey: Thank you so much, Lichi!
Husband & Son: ...
Danua: Lichi...
Hansel: She says, "Thank you, Lichi."
Lich: It's nothing. I just felt like giving mortals the gift of heart attacks.
Gretel: Hahaha! Now we're talking!
Lady Grey: Then it's on to the next step. I know this is sudden, but come with us!
Lich: Huh? Where are you taking me?
Danua: This way...
Lich: Uuaagh!
Lady Grey: Oh! You look darling!
Danua: Cute...
Gretel: Yep! Good stuff!
Hansel: Hey, I think it's time for all the scare actors to report for duty. Let's get going.
Lich: W-wait!
Rosetta: Do your best, Lichi!
Lich: Grr... I got swindled...
Rosetta and (Captain) grin as they watch Lich trudge away, proud that their Halloween trick worked a treat.
The entrance to the Walk of Terror is buzzing with excitement. All but one of the staff members seem happy to be working tonight's event.
Lich: Rose and (Captain) really got me good. So much for being one step ahead...
Terror Trek Barker: Everyone ready? I now declare the Walk of Terror to be officially open!
Lich: So be it. I'll show the living what true fear is all about!
Lich is ready to perform her job to the fullest, even if she claims it's against her will.
