(This is not the 'party' thread mentioned in the foyer. Just a side thing I was planning for this month on top of the 'Halloween party' thread.)
It had been a long night for Minda as she walked down the road toward the mansion. The short haired brunette pulled down on her costumes short skirt, a modification her friend Jess had made before the summer. Of course that was also before Minda had fattened up. She had lost some of the weight the last two months, but was still pretty plump in her witches costume. Her and Jess had spent the last couple hours taking Jess's little cousin trick-or-treating. They'd actually gotten a pretty good haul, however due to her diet Jess had already confiscated the other bags to ration out to Minda over the next few months.
The two teenage girls had talked about coming by the mansion after they were done trick-or-treating, but Jess had to take her cousin home first. So Minda had gone on ahead with half a bag of candy.
As she got up to the gate a strong wind picked up. "Ah! My hat." She cried out as her witches hat was blown off and into the nearby forest. She went to the edge of the spooky looking forest, but even with the full moon she couldn't see into the forest that well. "Great..." She said, looking back at the mansion. Now she just looked like a plump girl in glasses wearing a short black skirt and stretched out top. She started walking up toward the mansion, figuring she could just borrow a flashlight or something to find her hat before Jess arrived.

The wind howled, trees groaned, and leaves flew through the air, drifting to the ground like pre-mature snowflakes. It was a sight to behold, and it smelled of dust and lighting storms. The Mansion seemed more daunting than it ever had before.
The door creaked open slowly.

"Hello?" Minda called out as she looked in the open door, barely able to see anything due to only a few lit candles lighting the foyer. "Trick-or-Treat..." She said, stepping into the mansion & holding out her bag of candy.

"Trick." came a voice, cold and whispered. "Trick, indeed."
As soon as it came, it was gone, leaving nothing but the creaky old house.

Minda looked around nervously, surprised at the voice. "T-trick?" She said, walking over & grabbing one of the candles. She held it out, looking for the source of the voice. "J-just what kind of trick are you planning?" She asked, a chill running down her spine and sending her fat jiggling.

"Trick, Miss Minda" asked a familiar voice. Lord Hugo stepped forward. "What ever do you mean trick?"

Minda let out a sigh of relief at seeing the mansion's owner and caretaker. "Lord Hugo am I glad to see you. Who do you have watching the door for trick-or-treater's?" She asked with a smile. "The way they responded with 'trick' when I said 'trick-or-treat' was just creepy."

"Oh, I don't have anyone at the door. Well, except me. Did you want some candy. I promise it's just regular store bought candy." he said as he held up a plastic jack-o-lantern with Snickers Bars and Reeses Pumpkins inside.

"B-but I heard someone say..." She said, the color draining some from her face. Minda was nervous at who had replied with 'trick' if it wasn't Hugo or his staff. Her grumbling belly snapped her from her worry as she looked at the candy in the plastic jack-o-lantern. "Uh..Sure, and a flashlight or something if you can spare one." She said, remembering her lost hat outside.

"Oh, sure thing." he said as he snapped his finger and a brand new flashlight appeared in his hands. "Here you go."
As soon as he handed it to her, he vanished as he was prone to doing.

"Never one to say 'good bye'." She said, smiling as she turned the light on. Looking down at her bag she noticed a few extra candies. "But always thoughtful. Now to go get my hat." She said, turning back to the door.

"Trick." said the same creepy voice. "Minda, you are in for a trick."

Minda fumbled the flashlight, almost dropping it from the surprise of hearing the voice again. "H-Hugo...Is that you?" She asked, shining the flashlight around the foyer.

"Hugo? No. Not Hugo." it said cryptically.

"T-then who a-are you?" She asked, scanning the room with the light as she backed up toward the front door. "A-a member of the staff maybe?"
