Obligatory trick-or-treating. Alright. Dorian Crawford was never a man that half-assed things. Dorian gave all of his employees a week's notice to prepare a good costume (if not, Toby will be providing them) and moved all of his Crown people to LuxTV Station for the occasion. He gave them an incentive: If they show up to work on Halloween, they were going to get a handsome bonus on their next paycheck. For people that knew Dorian, they would know that he never uses the term "handsome" lightly.

He was determined to have the biggest event in the block. They revamped the entrance to make it look like the inside of a dark cave, with illusions of bats and shadowy creatures following those that enter. At the end of the path, they would be inside a Station set, where there would be a hot Halloween costume party filled with actors and models handing out candy to those that entered. People can choose to stay and mingle with the employees. There would be a DJ, and a buffet table filled with spooky snacks.

Dorian himself was at the center of the candy table, dressed up as everyone's second favorite Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist, Iron Man. He had a pretty authentic costume on, commissioned from Toby complete with fancy special effects. Of course, it wasn't fully functional, but through Hollywood magic, it was a pretty convincing replica. Dorian, of course, didn't bother putting on Tony Stark make-up and stayed as himself. After all, he didn't want people to wonder why he'd downgrade. It would be a crime to hide this pretty face.

Cat could remember what trick or treating was about. Children got candy going house to house in costumes. She knew this, but she didn't remember ever having actually gone out to ask for said candy.

Everyone said she looked like a child anyways.

Cat was making use of her cuteness to the max, trick or treating with the rest of the small children. She'd found this cute little cat costume, and an adorable basket in the same shade of pink as her costume's accents. Her first stop, obviously, was to Crown modelling. She'd told Dorian that she wouldn't be helping with the handing out of candy, although she hadn't told him why she wouldn't be helping.

The cute little kitten walked straight to Dorian, accepting some treats from passing by coworkers or actors. She waved to Dorian and gave him a cute little pose to show off the costume.

"May I have candy, nya~?"

Dorian was handing out candies to children, quoting the Avengers movie as they ooh'd and aah'd at his costume. Hang on. That child was — That wasn't a child! Dorian clicked the side of his helmet and it lifted the mask so he could grin wide at Cat.

"Cat! You look great! So you're trick or treating?" He scooped up a pile of candy and put them in her basket. He gestured for her to wait a bit as he ducked under the table and grabbed a hidden golden pumpkin basket with the special goods for children with the best costumes. He added that into her basket. "European candies. Most of them are in languages you can't read, but they're super good. You don't have allergies do you?"

He leaned on the table and grinned. "Got any good stuff from your little Halloween adventures?"

It wasn't that Sabriel disliked dressing up for Halloween, but rather, he disliked the feeling of self-consciousness that came from it. Dressing up inevitably resulted in second thoughts that came too late—was the costume good enough, had he chosen well, and most importantly, what did other people think?

It was the last one he could never seem to escape. All his life that worry followed him, and it followed him today, walking in to work wearing a costume he'd spent a good deal of time making. The hours of the night between midnight and dawn—hours likely better used for sleep, but he couldn't sleep—were spent sewing his costume and piecing it together to make sure it came out just right.

He walked in to work that day as Corpse Bride's Victor Van Dort. His messy black hair was neatly coiffed for once, and the natural dark circles under his eyes seemed less like a matter of concern and more like a part of the costume.

"Hey, Dorian," he said, walking over. "Want some Milky Ways?"

Not one to be rude, he put some in Cat's basket, then held out a candy bar for Dorian to take if he wanted.

Oh! Look who it is, his new employee. Oh, the new guys always wanted to make a good first impression in the company. Dorian circled the table and wrapped an arm around Sabriel's shoulders, delighted to see him.

"Sabriel! He-heeey, that's from Corpse Bride, isn't it?" He looked at the Milky Way offered and grinned. "Watch this..." He pressed a button on his hip, which opened up a container in his fake armor. "Pretty cool, huh! Bet Iron Man doesn't have candy containers. I'm already a step ahead of Jarvis."

He moved away and clapped his hands together, thinking. He had something he wanted to... Oh, right! "Sabe, right, did you bring your camera? Ah, if you didn't, that's alright, we've got equipment upstairs. I want you... And this is very important. I want you to take pictures of the event for our website yearbook and annual review on December. Can I trust you with that?"

He placed a hand on Sabriel's shoulder and looked at him very sternly. If he couldn't, that was fine. He hoped the other photographers would get here soon. Dorian was decent, but his shots were always horrendously amateurish.

Dorian’s genuine enthusiasm was something Sabriel still needed to get used to. As Dorian slung his arm around his shoulders, he couldn’t help but blink and shake his head, dumbfounded but glad for it all the same.

“Y-Yeah! Yeah, it is,” he said, a little glad to be recognized. Dorian opened a container in his costume and stored the candy there—it was, by all accounts, impressive. “Nice,” he said.

He was ready to get back to work—and ready to dive in to the Milky Way bars he had stashed away for later—when Dorian remembered something and came back, clapping a hand on his shoulder and looking at him sternly.

“You can trust me,” he said. “I got it covered. I’ll go get my camera.” He slipped away to grab it. When he came back, his DSLR was in his hands and strapped around his neck, and he began to snap photos of the employees in their costumes and the children trick or treating.

As soon as Sabriel left, Dorian went back to handing candies to little kids. He waved at him when he got back. "Hey, that's great! Just e-mail the shots to the company e-mail. Our editors will get to them in the morning, post it up for everyone. I'm sure they'll have a blast seeing their Halloween costumes." He nodded.

"Hey, take a picture of me and Cat, why don't you?" He wrapped an arm around Cat and posed, a wide grin on his face until the shot was taken. "Don't work yourself too hard! It's a party. Have fun. Punch bowl's at the back, and I think some scoundrel spiked it, if you know what I mean." He winked.

Who could possibly be that scoundrel? Why... was it Dorian himself? Well, it was an honest mistake. Nothing could be done about it now. He guessed a bunch of his employees can drink at the Halloween party, or whatever. Pfft.

"This was my first stop. I can remember a bit about halloween, but I couldn't remember ever having gone out before. I'll come back before I head home to change for the masquerade and share the spoils with you, nkay?"​

Cat unwrapped one of the european chocolates, letting it melt in her mouth. Mmmm it was good. Certainly better than corner store chocolate. It melted faster than she did in Dorian's hugs.

"I'm allergic to some obscure mountain plant. That's about it. I got all the tests done when I first got here. Dorian, these are the best! Thank you!!"

Cat munched on another chocolate, waving politely to Sabriel as he gave them both even more chocolates. Only one store and her basket was already half full! Granted, she worked here, but still! She'd have to make multiple trips. Maybe Dorian could help.

"I'd better be leaving soon if I'm going to make it to all the businesses."

She posed with Dorian, leaning in close to him and curving her finger like claws to the camera. When the picture had been taken, Cat kissed both of Dorian's cheeks and slipped out of the party waving.

It had been decided that once Nero went off with his hot date (and booooy was Felix smokin', but Hattie digressed) Kek and Hattie was dress the part as they ran around with children and trick-or-treated with them. Their height allowed them to come off like kids.

Hattie was making her way to all the businesses in a ploy for all the candy. Not just some of the candy, nay, nay, all of the candy. She and Kek were gonna raid these bitches.

Naturally, one of the first stops would be Crown Modeling. Dorian always did an excess of things to ensure he was the very best. It was flashy, and the amount of treats around was astounding. Hattie had looked at Kek, eyes wide and shining, before saying: "I want it all."

She then proceeded to head inside and show her pot shaped basket to him, motioning to the candy bowl. "Gimme."

Dorian waved at Cat before she left, before turning his attention to Kek and Hattie. Oh, he knew those guys. Weren't they a couple of meme pirates or something? Nero didn't look much like Captain Crunch, so it felt like a huge rip-off.

Before they engaged with the poor, unsuspecting suckers, Kek pulled on Hattie's shoulder and whispered, "Hey, Hats, did you see Dorian pull that basket from under the table? I bet that shit's the good stuff. Make a distraction so I can nab it for the both of us."

With that, Kek presented her basket and let them dump the candy in it. While Hattie went ahead, she leaned against the side of the table. As soon as nobody was looking, she ducked and crawled under it, hidden under the sea of children.

Meanwhile, Dorian placed his hands on his hips at this request and laughed. "Last I remember — you're not a little girl. I'm gonna be straight with you, Hattie. You're going to get the same candy as all of them." He grabbed a handful of candy and put them in Hattie's pot thing. "There you go."
