Dressed up in their Halloween best, Cricket approached the manor. Tonight, they were dressed to the nines. Atop their head, a cloud-like hat stayed in place with strategically-placed bobby pins; in their eyes, bright red contacts that were UV reactive; a short, poofy purple dress with puffed sleeves, one that clung to the chest and abdomen but ballooned out into a rounded skirt ending just above the knees, all in purple; their legs were covered with light purple leggings that ended in yellow; bright yellow sneakers with dark purple laces; and, on their face, a mask that completed the look with a huge yellow X. They were dressed up as a Driflblim. Her Ponyta stood next to her, wearing a specially-made fireproof outfit of her own. The Ponyta's outfit was a lot simpler, so as not to compress her body too much, and was mostly just a rounded headpiece meant to look like a Drifloon's body, complete with eyes and an X above the Ponyta's face and with Drifloon's heart-tipped strings trailing beneath. A cape followed behind the headpiece, covering some of the Ponyta's body in a fancy manner. On Cricket's shoulder, a bag containing her stuff plus two Eggs she'd gotten shortly after arriving in Arciel hung down to the other side, hopefully safe from being pick-pocketed.
"This is so cool, look at this big spooky manor! This is going to be such a fun party!" The front door was centered by a large demonic knocker, shaped a bit like Giratina's head, and Cricket reached forward to grip it, but the door swung open before they could even touch it, causing them and their Ponyta to dart backwards out of the way. "Eeee, let's go in!" remarked Cricket, then the pair entered the manor, unsure of what exactly to expect after the interesting door.
Once beyond the threshold of the door, it swung closed behind them with a terrifying creeeeeak.. SLAM! Which further delighted the already starry-eyed Cricket, who was dancing up and down on her toes in glee. "This is the best place EVER!" they exclaimed, rushing towards the sound of music and howling winds. They entered the ballroom, Ponyta in tow, to see that it was full of purple and pink fog, spooky lights, cobwebs, and people in fancy dress. Cricket took a deep breath to calm themself, then stepped in, trying to look the epitome of grace and like they belonged at a fancy ball like this, even if they were so excited to be in this spooky place that they wanted to scream with joy!
