I was walking down the streets after work and I saw various flyers. Being of a curious mind I picked one up. Help was wanted for a party. They needed musicians, planners, cooks and entertainment. Well I could help with that. All I would need is a few more details.

Glancing at the address I found my way to the studio. Using the back of my fist I rapped sharply on the door.

The Witch huffed as she scooped the bloated Pumpkin from the floor. Chocolate pudding was smeared all over his happy face...

"Ickybod~! That pudding was for-"

The Witch turned towards the door. Someone was knocking? Someone was there? A customer? Someone about the help ad? She let out a delighted squeal and headed for the door, heels clicking, Pumpkin in her arms. Donning a bright grin she opened the door, violet eyes peering at the girl who stood there.

"Hi there~ Can I help you~?" Bounce. "Are you here to buy something~?" Blink. "OO! Are you here about the ad~?" Frown. "If you're here about the vandalism in town then I assure you Icky didn't do it~"

Hyper hyper hyper...

Rina let the woman go on for a moment before offering a broad smile. "My name is Rina and I am here about the help ad. I am a musician and do fairly well at planning parties. I just need a few more details and perhaps I can help you out."

"Oh~! Then come in~!"

The Pumpkin was set aside as she ushered Rina inside. "Well the Festival will be taking place relatively soon~ I need musicians to play music, and you can do that at any event you're able to because each day of the Festival there will be a different event~ Like Kiss Day~ And the auctions~" Violet eyes darted over Rina. "If you want, you can set up a kissing booth, or be auctioned off for dates~ It's all for charity~" Nodding. "And party planning is good~ One thing I'm having trouble getting ideas for is the carnival~"

"Do you have any ideas for that~? Foods, rides, anything~?"

Lots needed to be done, yes indeed. The Witch rocked on her feet, eagerly watching Rina.

I let her usher me in while listening attentively. Kiss day....interesting. Auctions I could do, but maybe not for dates. Previously there had been too many bad experiences.

"Well I will definitely be playing my guitar on one or two of those days. As for the kissing both and date auctions, I can help organize them but you won't see me participating.

As for food, I would suggest things that can be used as snack foods and carried around for the most part. Cotton candy would be excellent, as would ice-cream. If you wanted to do meals I would suggest a hamburger and hot dog stand. Hot choclate if it's cold out.

A dunking booth is a good event, as are those Moon Bounces for little kids. Mock dueling tournaments would be great too. Hay rides are also classic."

I looked at the woman to see what her thoughts were.

"Oooo~"

As The Witch listened she grabbed a notepad and started scribbling away, nodding enthusiastically. She loved this girl's suggestions!

"You won't participate in the auctions or kiss day~? Awww, well that's okay~! I'll get some other people to help and set them up~ I love the food suggestions~! I know Rosie has a catering service and Brian said he'd help with food so I can probably get them on this too~" A bounce on her toes as she scribbled a bit more, giggling to herself. "Oh and music is definately a plus for any event~ Whichever days you can manage will be just fine~"

"A dunking booth is *perfect*~" A squeal and hop. "I just need to find someone to dunk~" Giggling as she started scribbling some names of people she could possibly bother for such a task... "I didn't even think about Moon Bounces~ That's fun not only for adults but kids too you know~" The Witch was already sketching out the large, pumpkin shaped Moon Bounce she could create. "Mock Dueling~? I don't know much about the Duels around here, so I don't know how I'd go about that~"

"Hay rides~? What about pumpkin rides~?!" The Witch grinned madly.

I grinned, Elly's excitement was contagious. "Rosie has a fantastic catering service. I help her out time to time, she would be great." I leaned back on the wall. "I can probably come in the evenings almost every night to do music with my guitar."

Who to dunk? I didn't know a lot of people for dunking. Perhaps that Antonio guy, he seems like someone who might be good to dunk. "The Moon Bounce will be great. As for the dueling, I'm sure you can ask any of the dueling officials for help with that."

"Pumpkin rides sound fantastic! This will be really exciting." I grabbed my notepad and a pen and wrote down my contact information.

"Here is my contact information if you need to get a hold of me." I handed her the paper. "Just let me know what's going on as you get more information."

The Witch nodded with the usual excess of enthusiasm that seemed to follow her about as she took the paper that held the contact information on it and carefully tucked it away.

"This is great~! Thank you so so much~ And yes, I will definately be keeping in touch with you Rina~! I'm Elly~" A friendly, wide smile spread across her face. Details still need to be worked out, but yes, just as soon as they were she'd let Rina know.

Hmm, now what.. oh yes! Payment! The Witch scampered off for a moment, ducking behind the counter that had that ever elusive ancient cash register. With a bit of digging she emerged with a small pouch of coinage that jingled lightly as she hurried back over, holding it out for Rina to take. God only knows how much was actually in there... The Witch was rich after all.

"Now will this be enough, or do you require more~?" A question asked as she tilted her head, eyelashes batting curiously.

I cautiously took the bag of coins and grinned. "It will be just fine. " Arising I walked over to the door. "It's been great meeting with you. Just let me know when you need me." With a polite wave I left.
