The cauldron has been sitting alone for a good day. Since it's arrival not a bird has gone near it nor a mouse stirred at its base. What is it doing here and where has it come from?
If one isn't looking close, they'd miss the same black mist starting to stir a few inches away from it. Just like the cauldron, it begins with a gentle stirring before gaining strength. Before you know it the air is swirling with it. A small, tan Pae steps her way out of it, calling back into the darkness to an unseen companion. When she turns back around, her arms are filled with all sorts of ghoulish looking nicknacks. She herself could be a part of the bundle, what with her skeleton like markings. Her face is set with a hard gaze as she goes about her task.
Behind her, two others step out of the dark portal with similar looks upon their face. As the last one exits, the mist is swallowed up by the air around it, sealing them to this place. They each drop a bundle of items by the cauldron, striking a fire up under the suspicious artifact. Soon it's roaring with life and the trio begin to toss item after item within it. It's surprising that such ingredients would create a green, bubbling goop, but there it was.
As the two continue the work they started, the tan one steps away. From the pile she pulls out a makeshift sign, scribbling on it for a moment before walking it over to the cauldron. With one swift movement she's slamming it down into the ground with ease. She dusts off her hands and nods in a serious appreciation of it.
'Trick or Treat' it says.
