The beach house was well lit from the outside, tiny strings of pumpkin shaped lights lining the walk up to the front door of the beach house. The doors opened on a foyer decorated to look like a casino floor. There were even a pair of slot machines against either wall.

Heading further into the house everything on the right was closed off, with fancy velvet ropes. But on the left, a glittery sign was hung over the master bedroom door that read Screening Room. There piles of cushions and comfy chairs had been pulled up around a big screen TV awaiting those who didn't want to play poker.

The tables where set up, one each in the family, living and dining rooms. The kitchen was packed with food. You could hardly see the counter top beneath it all. Chips and dips, pies, sandwiches, fruits, vegies. If you could eat it it was there somewhere.

"Well Harv, I think we've outdone ourselves here." Sev smiled at the pumpkin dude.

"Baa Ba Babat baban" Harv nodded and tipped the mafia movie style fedora Sev had picked him up just for this occasion at her biting down on a bubblegum cigar.

"Right Harv.. Let the party begin."

What was any pumpkinhead related event without The Witch? It was... well, probably much more peaceful truth be told. But tonight! That just wasn't one of those nights. Because The Witch was there.

Not dressed as usual either, she was in her beach apparel! Purple denim short shorts, a light purple tank top, crimson locks were back in a french braid, and she wore strapped heeled sandals. Dimpled smile on her face, and a brightly wrapped present box tucked beneath an arm, she giggled over the lights as she followed them right along to the front door, followed by five pumpkinheads.

First was Groucho, who wore an easy smile on his face. He seemed genuinely amused by the pumpkin shaped lights set up. But honestly, he came for the food. And to try poker maybe, but mostly food. Second and third were Taro and Tate, two rather seasoned poker players. They were too busy talking amongst themselves to notice much of anything though. Talking strategy, even shuffling through their own card decks they always carried around. Fourth and fifth were Mace Mutton Malign and The Pumpkin himself, Ickybod, engrossed in a rather loud conversation.

"Bababa~!" The Pumpkin reached in his mouth and pulled out a noisemaker. He had found it at the inn, along with a birthday party set up just for him! Good times too. He invited some homeless people in and they raided the inn's booze and made a lot of noise.

Mace rolled his eyes at the noisemaker, or he would have if he had them. Instead, he just shook his head dismissively at it. "Baba~?"

The Pumpkin looked angry, then started blowing it in Mace's face. Again, and again, and again and...

"Stop that~!" The Witch spun around, narrowing violets on The Pumpkin, who promptly tucked the noisemaker away. "You said you'd be good, so you better be good~ Or I'm never taking you out in public again~!" A finger waggle at him, then she spun about. They were there!

Pumpkinheads quieted down as The Witch reached forward and knocked on the door. Then the group waited in anticipation...

Harvey threw open the door setting off a spray of "nifty flash bangs" Those sprays of sparks you see in stage shows(Sev didn't know he had rigged those up.) "Babab ba baaabar baboo!"

Sev grinned seeing who was behind the door, she'd talk to Harv about the safe use of pyrotechnics later. He couldn't be trying everything he found on the internet. It just wasn't safe.

"Well don't stand out there in the dark, come on in." she immediately reached for the shorter redhead's arm. "Everything is set up, movies in the bedroom, and cards and food in the back."

Elly was led to the bedroom, and Harv led the pumkinheads back to the kitchen.

The Witch's violet eyes grew wide as she watched the spray of sparks, only finally moving inside when Sev spoke up. "Everything looks so great Sev~! Did Harvey help you out with all of this~?" She grinned widely, dimples shown off as she followed along with Sev. She really did look amazed at everything about, especially things that were more 'technological' since she didn't really have much experience in that department.

The pumpkinheads weren't too worried about those sparks, and some even moved in before being invited! How rude. In the kitchen, Groucho's hollowed eyes widened at the bounty of food set out before him. "Totally~" A sandwich was taken in each clothy hand as he alternated bites between the two. Taro and Tate were looking around for cards, exchanging some words with Harvey along the way. The Pumpkin and Mace were just taking in the environment, the former looking rather thoughtful as he did so.
