[EVENT] Happy Hallobirthweenday!

Zerori regaled Zuqetta with all the information she would need on the art of "trick or treat", though the supposed tricks that Zerori had in mind seemed rather... mundane to say the least. Still, with yet another explanation giving, Zuqetta was beginning to piece together the general idea, even if it still seemed foreign and without reason. "I mean, I'm not opposed to scaring children... but why?" Zuqetta would ask, raising a brow as she glanced around the street, "If anything, there seem to be more children in costume than adults. What are these costumes even for??" She'd ask aggressively, her face becoming flush as the realization set in that she and her sister were the only adults in the area in costume, any others being actual children.

"Are... are you pranking me?" She'd ask with a mild bit of concern in her voice, "I'm not saying I don't deserve it, but it's a strange prank. Like, I could use my magic to take on a child form if going door to door for candy is what you're after." With these words, it would be all the more clear that Zuqetta's understanding was still incredibly lacking, but she was still at least trying to put in the effort.

Zuqetta felt a twinge of relief when Zerori confirmed she wasn't trying to prank her, though as her sister continued, she began to feel a bit bad for her. She'd known her sisters birthday for a few years now, but hadn't once tried ot stick around to spend it with her. She allowed her jealousy of Ise hold her back when Zerori had turned seventeen, and then her own shame of abandoning Zerori after that hold her back for her eighteenth birthday. In truth, it wasn't as though she understood the merit of celebrating a birthday, something like that wasn't a thing that Saiyan's did, but she knew that it was important to Zerori, and didn't want to let her down a third time.

"It's okay-" Zuqetta would begin, tugging lightly at her sister's cape to get her attention as she gave a soft smile, "-we don't have to change, I may not get it, but you seem like you're having fun, and that's enough for me." She'd remark, her tail swaying behind her happily as she turned her gaze to look across the neighborhood houses.

"Let's hold off on the tricks, there's plenty of time for that." She'd say, pointing over towards a rather large, and fancy home, "I just saw a group leave that place with a pretty hefty bounty, why don't we start the "treat" portion of this event there?" she'd offer happily, materializing a pair of orange, pumpkin faced bags for she and Zerori to use for their trick-or-treating.

"Get caught?" Zuqetta would remark with a hint of confusion behind her smile, before suddenly finding herself lifted up in Zerori's enthusiasm and thrown over her sisters shoulder, "W-w-w-w-what are you doing!?" she would question as Zerori quickly stomped her way towards the house in question, "Z-Zerori! I can walk-!" She'd exclaim, being cut off as she took notice of the deeps stares she was receiving from certain adult passerby's as they took notice of the event.

No more than a high pitched, but muffled squeal would be elicited from Zuqetta before she would quickly take her pumpkin bag in her tail and use it to cover her rear. Even onlookers would avert their gaze, realizing the subject of their visual feast was well aware of their unsightly stares. Luckily, the awkward moment wouldn't last too long, as the two would be quickly upon the doorstep of their first house of night, and Zuqetta would be released from her sisters grasp.

"D-Don't-!" Zuqetta would begin, her face red with embarrassment; she would clear her throat, walking up to the door before glancing back at Zerori with a semi-stern expression, "You're still a wild child." She'd say plainly, quickly turning her attention back towards the door.

Gaaaaah!!! These outfits are so embarrassing! She would think, trying her best to calm down from the experience, Doesn't she have any self awareness!? Can't she feel the stares of all those guys!?

Zuqetta tried to to hyper fixate on the experience too much, her focus changing to the objective the two had. With a deep breath, she'd quickly recall the ritual explained to her before, and bring her fist to knock rather loudly on the front door of the fancy house. "Treat or Trick!" She would yell, bringing the bag forward with her tail and taking hold of it as she prepared to receive the reward for the ritual.

"What?" A voice would call out as the door opened, revealing a rather elderly man with a scowl on his face, "Treat or-!? Yer not even gonna say it right!?" He'd say angrily, eyeing up Zuqetta and Zerori, "Y'two ain't even kids! Scram ya moochers!!" He'd yell before slamming the door.

Zuqetta would remain silent for a few moments, regardless of anything Zerori might have said, disregarding all thoughts before finally snapping back to attention and turning to face Zerori with a rather dejected scowl on her face. "Z... my efforts were denied reward." She'd say rather darkly, her tail clinching tightly around the broom in her possession, breaking its handle.

In a flash, Zerori had rushed past Zuqetta and barged into the fancy house, disregarding any inhibitions. Zuqetta would remain outside with an initial expression of surprise, turning away from the door and whistling to herself as things began to sound a bit more violent within. Confused trick or treaters would pass by with curious but worried expressions, but would be quickly put at ease as Zuqetta gave them a slight wave and kindly smile. Moments later, Zerori would exit the house with candy in hand within a bowl, explaining Zuqetta's previous mistake.

"The trick portion goes first?" Zuqetta would question, "But then it sounds like we're offering tricks for treats... mmn, oh whatever." She'd say with a laugh, not really too concerned with the logistics of it all, "So point is, if they don't reward our efforts, then we take the treat by force?" She'd ask, taking out the piece of candy she received with a smile before realizing the obvious disparage between what she and her sister held, "W- Hey wait! Why do I only get a single piece? You didn't even perform the treat request ritual!" She'd question with a slight pout, unwrapping the piece of candy she'd been given and wasting no time in enjoying the small treat.

Her sister had helpfully attempted to explain things yet again, with Zuqetta steadily absorbing the information with a suspect gaze. Between the demands of treats from random strangers, to the forced entry and casual assault and battery, this event was seeming more and more vicious. Zuqetta initially had no qualms with it all, she was just happy to be spending time with her sister, but... something wasn't feeling quite right. She still didn't understand why the two were in costume, could it have been a ploy to merely embarrass Zuqetta? Perhaps her sister wanted to get back at her in some small way after all that'd happen? It'd have made sense, but then, that wouldn't explain the children mucking around doing much the same. Zuqetta recalled mentioning transforming into children, to which Zerori had admitted not being able to perform such magic... perhaps there was more going on here with this "trick or treat" than Zerori was admitting.

"Oh?" Zuqetta would chime with a marked interest, lifting her bag quickly to catch the glass bowl lest it hit the ground, "H-Hey!" she wanted to counter Zerori's following remark, her face reddening, but it was difficult to disagree with their two figures, and even more difficult to tell if Zerori was being rude or not, "Well... thank you." she'd say with a slight pout, deciding to take it as a compliment. It was embarrassing and she tried not to think of it often, but even Zuqetta had taken notice in these recent month to her... growth. If only it'd taken a vertical turn, she wouldn't have had to resort to magic for so long; resorting to said magic only caused her to end up surprised when she finally decided to undo it.

Zerori seemed to get excited again, laughing rather menacingly before using her magic to conjure something. Almost immediately Zuqetta would recoil as an indescribable disgust assaulted her sense of smell. She'd immediately step back, covering her face with both hands, her tail shooting back aggressively as if to pull her further away, her fur standing on end puffed up violently. Even Zerori herself, the conjure of this disgusting creation, seemed to nearly vomit at the mere smell of it. Zuqetta could hardly tell what her sister was saying through all her gagging.

"Guh!! What in the hells IS that!?" Zuqetta would question, putting two and two together, "What is your- hold on!" With a quick swipe, Zuqetta's tail would lash out to swipe the cartons, tossing them aside before the girl would use her magic to encase both within a thick metal box. Once contained, Zuqetta would spin her tail around rapidly, acting like a fan as it blew away the remnants of terrible scent.

"Oh gods, even covering my nose and mouth wasn't enough, I could almost taste that!" She'd say in disgust, spitting a bit as she tried to regain her composure. While most the scent was gone, Zuqetta could swear she could still smell it seeping from the metal container, and so would up the ante and seal the container inside an even larger and thicker container. "Ughh, Sis, you said you wanted to throw EGGS, not commit war crimes!" Zuqetta would comment as she took a piece of candy out of her bag and began to eat it aggressively, "It's your birthday, so I wanted to hang out with you. I know I said I'm up ta doin' anything you wanna do, but ya seem ta have some strange obsession with throwing unborn chicks at peoples houses..." she'd comment, attempting to be joking in her explanation before suddenly having a dark realization, "-no... those eggs." she'd say, looking up towards her sister with a slightly horrified expression, eating another piece of candy, "They... they smelled terrible, Zerori you didn't..."

Had Zerori's obsession gone too far? If so, Zuqetta was happy to have stopped her before things took a wrong turn. Glancing past her sister, she'd already taken notice of some children hiding behind a tree, watching the two women curiously. Before their arrival, Zuqetta was sure all these earthlings had been enjoying this event in a MUCH different way. She couldn't argue with her sister, after all, she hardly knew what the event was about to begin with; no one else seemed so keen on causing such chaos however, they'd seemed much merrier and happy. Were the two doing it wrong? Dare she even express such a thing to her sister? Regardless, if children were going to be watching them, Zuqetta had decided she'd rather have NOT set such a terrible example.

The revelation had been made; covering her nose as Zerori prompted, she'd watch her sister summon forth another of those dubious eggs. With a drop to the ground and subsequent crack, a mysterious glob would ooze out before distorting in form and unleashing a scream. The formation of the creature was somewhat horrifying, and yet... familiar. It made Zuqetta briefly recall her training with Zriracha, and the very first day she used magic on that paper with the magic circle. She recalled the very same formation of black ooze, remembering how it steadily took shape, before attempting to scream, only to be immediately dispelled by Zriracha on the spot. Zuqetta wondered what the hell the implication of this were, but between the terrible smell of the creature and Zerori's yelling, she couldn't focus on the memory in the least.

"DIE!" Zuqetta would shout, aiming her broom at the rotten screamine, materializing a massive stone cube that would subsequently crush the screamine flat. "I never thought there'd be an animal I could hate..." she'd mutter with a grimace. With a bit more force, Zuqetta would cause the massive block to be driven deep into the ground, becoming a permanent fixture of the terrain for now, before she'd then turn her attention towards Zerori once more, releasing a sigh before beginning to speak. "Okay, okay, I think I understand. It still doesn't sit right with me..." she'd begin, unsure about taking such unnecessarily rude actions for such a little reason as a lack of candy, "But, if it's what you want, then sure, let's do it." She'd say with a smile, "But I get ta choose the targets!" She'd exclaim, furrowing her brow as she pointed a warning finger at her sister.

For the next hour, the two would continue on with their halloween, birthday extravaganza. Despite her best efforts to shake them, it seemed the the two would find themselves stalked by a small handful of children interested in their antics. Zuqetta would make especially sure to only allow Zerori's horrid punishment to dealt to those who truly deserved it. By the end of the adventure, Zuqetta was merely happy to finally be rid of the terrible smell, though it asked whether or not their little hi-jinks were fun or not, she certainly couldn't have denied enjoying the mischief.

"Well, we certainly got quite a haul~!" Zuqetta would nearly purr as she lifted her bag excitedly, still surprisingly full despite how much she'd been snacking the whole time, "But as for what to do next-?" she'd continue, ready to respond to Zerori's prompt, only to be interrupted as the previously distant group of kids decided to rush up to the duo excitedly.

"Are you two witches!!" A litter girl would suddenly ask, dressed as a little witch herself.

The children began to clamor with similar questions, giving Zuqetta a moment to examine the group. A couple boys, and three girls, each no older than ten or so; where the heck were their parents!? The two boys were both dressed as pirates and both had black eyes, was it makeup? It certainly didn't seem like it, they likely had a fight over dressing the same. The smallest of the three girls was some sort of ghost, perhaps a zombie? She wore tattered white clothes and white face paint with black makeup around her eyes and mouth... a banshee? The second girl had a much cuter outfit, she was a big ol pumpkin, plain and simple! While the third was the witch that asked the question, though unlike Zuqetta's outfit, hers was much more reserved, causing Zuqetta to shoot Zerori a suspicious glare before turning back to the girl happily.

"What makes ya think we're witches?" Zuqetta would ask, not even entirely sure what a witch was outside the evil witch that turned into a dragon in a book she read as a child.

"You used magic, we sawd!" The girl would exclaim with bright eyes, her friends doing the same.

Zuqetta's heart softened at the excitement of the children, reminding her of the happier times she spent with the orphans back on Plant. She couldn't explain the feeling, and hardly noticed she had any change in herself when it came to them, but she certainly did, and she'd begin to play coy as she responded.

"Magic?" Zuqetta would question, glancing over to Zerori with a false shocked expression, "Goodness, now how could we have possibly done that!" She'd continue, looking up as she held a finger to her chin as if to think, releasing her broom and using her telekinesis to make it stand on it's own, "I don't thiiiiiink I've ever used magic, have you sis?" she'd continue, before manipulating the broom to hover horizontally in the air and then swiftly taking a comfortable sit on it only a couple feet off the ground.

"AHHHH!! Right there!" The girl would exclaim, "You're doing it! See!? See!?!?"
