Echo stuck out her tongue and shook her head, she would not join Flo in the haunted house, not because she was scared, which Echo was not, but because she was afraid of one thing and one thing only; the dark. Haunted houses were naturally set in darkness, how else were the actors to come out and give you a fright? "Oh codswallop, I'm not afraid." Echo rolled her eyes and waved her hand at this notion, she was on her feet now, allowing their sweets to rest in the pram. Echo's first Halloween seemed to be a wild success and when it was time for them to take turns at the table, they headed right back, finding that their crew had gone mostly ignored in the crowd of screaming children and bewildered parents attempting to keep said children in line. "Where are all of our patrons? Why do we still have such a big basket of sweets?" Fiore rolled her eyes, reaching into the basket for a packet of pop rocks.
"It's because the Tower Society is generally unwelcome to these gatherings. We only got a table because you and Hawk suggested it," Dexter nodded in agreement. Echo's cheeks turned red, welling up indignantly. "Oh yeah? Well Hawk and I will change that, come on Hawk, let's show them what a real duo looks like!" She nodded at Flo, as though to say that if her former partner so desired she was welcome to join them. They needn't go far and while Hawk drew her sword, Echo withdrew her wings from their hiding spot. The basket of candy was between them on the floor and they had propped up a little sign marked, "Tower Society Recruiting." Echo could feel the pressure as there were now plenty of eyes on her. The demon took a shuddering breath in, then out and used her hand, the good one, to make a gesture.
With a snap of her fingers two diamonds broke, first water to shower the sky, then light to refract against the droplets and create a marvelous rainbow, which glittered as the artificial rain fell in the direction of the ground. Hawk had begun doing an impression of her own, using a befitting Halloween theme to communicate with the dead. Nothing too powerful or deadly, just little animals like bats and black cats. Echo was now moving on to fire, a spark lighting up her palm, forming a small flame. From there she rolled the flames harmlessly across her palm and up her arm, over her shoulder, and down the other arm back into her hand, displaying an immense amount of control. "Candy, come get your candy!" Echo called, setting her flames loose around the bucket in a parade.
To prove that they were harmless, Hawk swiped at the flames with her hands, since they would only burn what Echo told them to, the flames were generally tame and would not effect candy snatchers. One brave child stepped up to the plate, clearing the way for children to line up and not only admire the candy selection, but the flickering orbs of fire that seemed to have been given a breath of life.
