Subject: Licorice? Uneaten? It must be black licorice, because red licorice is delectable.

In honour of her birthday and also Halloween, I drew the Illian-Sims family carving pumpkins.
It's inked, not coloured, because of Inktober.
And not because I'm too lazy to break out the watercolours.L-R: Dafydd as a jackalope (because Maglor is the cryptid Feanorion), Daphne as a devil, Constance as a witch, Oleander as a squirrel (or as hS put it, "he skinned Tom Nook, which I fully support"), Belladonna as an angel, Tanfin as a vampire (or Edward Cullen dressed as a real vampire), and Jasmine as Wednesday Addams. Dafydd and Daphne are carving the Doors of Durin, Constance has drawn the minimum amount of face on her pumpkin, Oleander and Bella are stabbing their pumpkin, Tanfin attempted to turn his pumpkin into a Silmaril, and Jasmine has a normal jack-o-lantern.
Happy Halloween!

Eledhwen opened her door to find a gaggle of half-elven children gathered outside. "Hello, Muriel's Mom," said Daphne, her blonde hair sprouting a pair of devil horns. "Do you like my pumpkin?"
She tried to hold up said pumpkin for examination, but Jasmine blocked her with one hand. "You're not supposed to bring the pumpkin, Daffy," she hissed, then gave Eledhwen a cool smile befitting her Wednesday Addams costume. "I apologise for my sibling."
"I'm your sibling too!" squeaked Oleander, waving his arms. "Do you 'pologise for me?"
"We all need to apologise for you," Belladonna said, grabbing her little brother by his costume's banded tail. "Get down from there!"
"Can't make m-eek!" Oleander toppled from the railing and wound up hanging head-down by his knees. "Can't make me!" he repeated. "I do what I do!"
Tanfin, face pasty with white makeup, rolled his eyes. "He does, too," he confided to Eledhwen. "Kids, you forgot what you're meant to say."
"Oh!" Bella released Oleander and scampered over to the door, pulling Daphne behind her. She put on an angelic smile (to match her costume) and held out a plastic bucket. "Trickortreat!"
Jasmine stepped up behind her, showing off her best loom. "Please," she said in a dry tone, "choose trick."
I make no promises that any of this is happening anywhere near actual Hallowe'en. They do what they do.

Eledhwen took one look at the kids, before turning around and calling, "Muriel! John! Your friends are here!"
Muriel came running to the door, John following close behind. They took one look at the gaggle of Illian-Sims children on the threshold, and broke into laughter. Or rather, Muriel laughed, and John pretended he was too cool for something as personable as laughing.
"Silly Ollie!" exclaimed Muriel. "It's already November!"
"Must be some timey-wimey thing again," said Christianne, coming over with a bowl of the candies that had survived their own children's rampant pillaging. This meant it was mostly stuff like butterscotch candies and liquorice, and a box of Tantaflaf Taffies that John had got as a trick from Henry Robinson.
"Sorry in advance if the candy sucks," said John, smirking at Jasmine and Tanfin. "That's what you get for being late."

"A wifard if nefer late," Oleander said around a handful of candy that seemed to have portalled itself to his mouth. "Nor if he early. He arrifes preficely when he nom nom nom."
Bella leant over and prodded her brother. "You're not dressed as a wizard, Ol."
"Am too." Oleander stuck out a tongue stained black with liquorice. "I'm the Great Wizard Tomathon Nookington. All shall love me and de-stare!"
"I'm despairing all right," Tanfin muttered. "How have you managed to get so many drips on that costume so fast?"
"He has skills," Jasmine said gravely, swiping a small chocolate bar that had somehow survived in the bowl to that point. "I possess certain compromising photographs suggesting you had the same issues, dear brother."
"Jas', don't!" Tanfin hissed, darting a look at John. Then his brow furrowed. "Wait - what photos? Is this just a Wednesday thing?"
Daphne slipped between her siblings and smiled at Christianne, taking a few candies. "Mom likes liquorice," she said, popping a few into her pumpkin and unwrapping a butterscotch for herself.
They're a day late because they persuaded Constance to go out into town for the evening, then converted the dining room in the west wing into a ridiculously elaborate haunted house. Dafydd blithely went along with the whole thing, then told the kids they had to clean it all up before Connie got home. They almost managed, too.
