"...yesterday was such a tiring day." Groaned a plant spirit, recently awakening from her mental respite a.k.a sleep.

Getting to human world for saving Halloween, getting lost in the maize maze...also maybe getting time-slipped few times. Squinting, Mahlan looked to the top of the small table next to the wall, a single ear-shaped candy in plastic wrapper, her prize for escaping the Maze.

Urgh. A new day, a new adventure they say. Live each day to the fullest they said.

-screw this imma gon' sleep again-

*knock-knock*

"..."

*knock-knock-knock*

"MAHLAN'S NOT INNNNN. TRY AGAIN TOMMORROWWWW." replied the student after a while pretending not to be in.

"Hey Mah- I know you're not feeling chirpy today, but you've gotta see this." A voice from outside her dorm room door beckoned, whom Mahlan registered begrudgingly as the Tsukumogami. A piece of paper was inserted into the gap between the door and the floor, and she manipulated the grass carpet to deliver the object into her hand.

It's a notice for a special class. The lecturer responsible are...Professor Winter? Wow, talk about a high-up; but what does this have with her?
"Look at the name of the participants." said Rei again, still behind the door. The fact that he know what Mahlan currently thought about the question signifies that Rei has [Jacked] somewhere into the room. Maybe the door. Quite possibly the door. Definitely the door-

Mahlan took one globule of dried sap she shed sometime last night and threw that to the door, yelling "Go die peep!" while laughing. The strange glow from the gap slowly dimmed; he must be walking away from the door.

Ah, she felt a little better.

Now what's the problem with this announcement, she glanced the paper to see what exactly wrong with-

"Human World visit...blahblahblah...on Prime October the 31th...blahblahblah...tradition...blahblah..."

Geh, she tch'd in mind after reading the sentence that sentences her to participate.

"All Year 1 students listed below must partake in the visit as it is mandated. Furthermore absentee will be put into indefinite detention. Wat the heck!?"
In the fifth row was her name, written clearly.

This' gonna be some kind of mistake, but...

Eh. The deadline for the document processing is today. Crap; why don't that phones b*****d waken her earlier!?

Muttering some incomprehensible cursing that makes the dyrad student she passed goes instantly pale, Mahlan took no detours and races the hall in swift walking...not running since it was prohibited-to the demon professor's office. She was...welcomed with a quite cold reception of 'Welcome, I've been waiting for you' in a business-like tone. Also she mentioned that the other participants of the trip has came like, ages ago (not literally speaking) and she has a lot of preparation to be done, so the signing of the contract will be brief and-

"Eh, what contract?"

The demoness glared at her, and sighed. After that Professor Winter explained in a lengthy version of why she needed to 'sign' the contract, about the object of the trip, the human superstitions that MIGHT be useful for the future of the Halloweeners, with an uncertain emphasis on the word MIGHT, and other things, including how to operate the emergency beacon in the temporary passport.

Mahlan was unable to ask anything due to the massive amount of the information pouring in one-sidedly from the professor.

Aaand it rolls just like that. Mahlan, still lost with how quick the events unfolded now are back at the human world, presumably not the same spot she visited with professor Selene, already in invisibility glamour-something, the passport in her hands...

-and face frozen from shock. What the heck?

{Now in Human World...again!}

Other students that came with her seemed...exhilarated to do THINGS. Some of them already tailed several humans, taking notes of every small things they do...including 'why do humans keep breaking wind after eating a bowl of mayo-eggs' and the such.

SIIIIIIIIGH.
Mahlan was not in the mood to actively walk around and do things. She wanted a quiet atmosphere-somewhere she can laze around photosynthesizing-

Oh. There's a house just perfect for that.

[Since I'm Invisible to humans now, why not enter their home?]

Sneaking in when the door opened was easy.

But why humans opens their front door so easily? They don't know whoever was on the other side of the door; also 'Trick or Treat' seems too easy to be some kind of keyword, safety words that ascertain the caller's identity to the listener. If she were some kind of transforming monster, the humans will be wiped out very, very soon.

But nope, that may be a TRAP! The humans did managed to wage war on them Halloweeners and killed so many of her kin in the past that the older generation chooses to cross worlds into their current one and live in obscurity, even if their only lifeline, FEAR are produced by humans.

Don't. Frikkin'. Make. Sudden. Movement.

As Mahlan tried her best to stay still, the humans from inside the house picked up the bucket they placed near the entrance of the house and handed few candies to the smaller humans in costumes. Hmm? Maybe this is why those buckets are empty-they handed out the candies freely!

Pluck. A caramel candy dropped on the ground. Given she was now invisible, Mahlan could shove it up with her tail and eat in silence--

Wait.
Maybe...no, it can't be. Those little humans in costumes and the candy-giving; does this 'custom' was something like a training against Halloweeners?! The smaller humans are taught to blend into our ranks, and the older humans hands out candies that are poisonous for us?

Mahlan again froze on the spot. THESE HUMANS...TOO FEARFUL!
OOC
4: It seems people in costume are given free candy! You consider trying to get free candy, but you're a little too scared of getting in trouble to do it. Or perhaps you're just too lazy.

After a while, the small humans left the house. From the closing door she can saw them walking to the direction of another house, in cheery skips.

The owner of the house returned inside...and suddenly the house's all quiet. What is he doing? Why this...unnatural silence?

Mahlan took one brave step from her current position, causing the floorboards below her to creak. EEEP!

After a flushing sound, the confused human returned, a gun in hand. Seeing there's nobody there, he returned again to the inside of the house.

THATWASSCARYTHATWASSCARYOHTHATWASSOSCARY!!!

5: It's really quiet in this house all of a sudden. You can hear the floorboards creak under your feet…

Now wiser about her movement, Mahlan analyzed the floorboards' support position and walked only on places that won't creak. She headed deeper into the house, and watched curiously when the human...did some walking and then knocked on the wood.

Was that another of their 'superstitions'? What meaning does that action carry?

OOC
10: You watch a human walk around their dwelling three times, backwards and counterclockwise. Then they knock on a nearby piece of wood.

On the other room was some other humans, huddled together sitting on the ground. On the middle of the strange bunch was some candles, some has been already extinguished, while some are still alight.

Hmm. What are they doing? It's kinda strange, but...only in this room she can feel FEAR. Heck, the room is chock-full of it, each breath she took reminds her of the natural air of Halloweentown.

It seems that they are doing something that generates FEAR. How did they do that-

FEAR are generated when the humans are afraid. Does the candles in the middle of their formation symbolizes that?

So...

Mahlan tried to prove her suspicious and blew one candle out-

The room was instantly filled with screams, shrieks, and an insane amount of FEAR, choking the plant spirit- it's like drowned in honey, even breathing hurts-

She can't be here any longer-
CRASH
Jumping through the covered window, Mahlan flees from the house.

6: You find a group of humans all around a bunch of candles. You decide to blow one out, but - now the humans are screaming?

Escaping the house boldly, Mahlan scampered to the surprised professor and jumped straight into the portal. It wasn't until tomorrow that she has composed herself enough to compile a report about the scary humans.

[Maybe it'll be good to collect and compare hypotheses about what exactly human superstitions from a Halloweener's viewpoint. Observations like this may be the key to our further co-existence with humans, after all.]

DONE!
