WINSTON "WINNIE" ALLEN
Halloween was one of Winston's favorite holidays. Mostly because there's a lot of sweet treats you can get! He could be peeling candy wrappers and eating candy right now if it hadn't been for someone's idea to spend the night in the forest for Halloween and to scare each other with ghost and horror stories. Sure there's the stories and the sweet treats that are bound to be brought along with them, which is great because Winston likes both. But why camp out there the whole night, the whole night in a dark forest on Halloween night of all nights? Don't get Winston wrong, sitting next to a warm campfire on this chilly, autumn Halloween sounded nice but they could just douse the fire and head back and curl up in a warm bed rather than spending the night out here. But nope, someone suggested camping there the whole night. And unlike some, Winston was dressed in a comfy, oversized sweater (and quite frankly the sleeves went over his hands). But anyways, there was definitely some mixed feeling about this. And, Winston is here with Ripley by his side as he’s following everyone else to the woods.
But still, he wouldn’t be able to leave if he wanted to. He wouldn’t be able to stand up and walk off into the dark and leave the sanctity of the lit area of the woods that the campfire would illuminate the area they are going to be in. And even then, Winston should not be wandering out in the dark by himself in the first place. But the question is… is everyone going to share a story? Ahhh, Winston didn’t have a story in mind to tell! Maybe it’ll get late enough for everyone to turn in for the night before it’s his turn or he’ll have to come up with something on the spot. Well, it’s fine. Everything’s fine. Surely someone here has a super long story to tell. An hour long story!
The boy began to pick at the sleeves of his sweater before switching to fidgeting with the handle of Ripley’s leash. He hadn’t bothered to put on a Halloween costume this year, maybe next year though. What would he be anyways? Eh, that could wait until next year. For now, it is… spooky campfire stories time. Maybe he’ll come up with a really good ghost story before they get to the campsite. But for now, his mind is blank about it.
The air was nice and crisp, a typical autumn night. Not too cold, at least to him. It was really nice. He continued to fidget with the handle of the leash even when they were getting close to the woods. The woods were dark, and quite frankly the moon was not bright enough to illuminate the woods enough. Would have been so much better if they did this some other time but nope. Winston wasn’t going to complain, though. Everything will be fine once everyone sits around a lit, warm campfire.
But he definitely wasn’t going to be one of the first ones to set foot in the woods. Where were they even going to set up camp anyways?
So.... who is going first?

MILLIE "MILLIE MOO" CHOI
Tonight was most likely not the best night to be wearing thin heels. See, Millie had decided to dress up as the Annabelle doll for Halloween and it had come with these black strap on heels and the heels were pretty thin to be quite frank. Still, Millie loved her choice in costume for this year’s Halloween. And tonight was not the night to be heading out into the woods. Ahh, Millie should have worn socks with her heels because the heels are really starting to kill her feet. Why do high heels always hurt? And it’s honestly not a good idea to be walking around the forest barefoot. And, mind you that it was not Millie’s idea to do this, not that she was complaining about it of course.
The only thing Millie was silently complaining about was her choice of shoes. She’ll take them off when they sit down but for now it is about being careful where and how you step and not let your ankles slide. The costume is pretty warm, though and Millie wasn’t too cold. Nice long sleeves. The costume also came with a worn out, tiny doll but Millie hadn’t bothered with bringing it with her. She saw no need to bring it, really. Then again it might’ve added to the creepiness factor of the atmosphere.
Too late now to turn around and get it. Besides, she’s already walked this far and she’d hate to have to do it all over again. Anyways, Millie was trailing next to Luca, and she was definitely not using him for leverage. She just wants to be close to him, that's all! Hmmm, did she have a ghost story in mind for this? Perhaps, maybe. But everyone was going to have to wait and see!
There was an occasional glance down at the ground before she would raise her head back up. Ah, they’re getting closer to the woods now. Which meant soon they’ll be sitting around the campfire eating s’mores and other treats. Hmmm, and apparently, they are going to be out here all night long too! Millie was fine with it as long as nothing bad happened or there weren’t any problems with… pranksters. Yeah, pranksters. Who knows, someone might be watching them enter the forest right now and decide it's a good opportunity to pull a prank or something.
Anyways, Millie isn't going first. Nope.
