Halloween Mischief

House Meeting

        “What is even happening?” Ciel groaned a few days after what they call, the orange incident. After all of that, things had been getting worse. First it was the front yard. Then the day after that, the whole three story grand foyer was decked out with pumpkins and orange. Then after that were the dining room (covered with pumpkin dishes), the heated swimming pool (with floating pumpkin candles), and the patios. The next day, the two-story study and library was hit. All the books were exchanged for either and orange book, or a book on pumpkins. Plus, the shelves were painted black with orange stripes. Finally, yesterday. That was a killer. That day, the family room was hit along with the two-story living room, laundry room, breakfast solarium, back patios and Sebastian’s room. Each room was more ridiculous than the last.

            “I don’t know, young master.” Sebastian sighed alongside him. Of course, each time they discovered a new decorated room, he had to clean it up. It was getting really tiring, even for a demon. They just didn’t know how to stop the Halloween spirit.

            “Alright! We need to have a house meeting. NOW!” Ciel commanded.

            “Yes, my lord.” Sebastian quickly bowed and ran to get the other servants. Soon, he returned with Mey Rin and Tanaka in one of his arms and Finny and Bart on the ground behind him. “We are here, bocchan.”

            “Speak for yourself, ‘ya devil!” Bart shouted from his upside down position. Sebastian had grabbed his ankle and dragged him on his back, until they found Finny and Sebastian grabbed the back of the blonde’s shirt. They continued to be dragged around until they found Mey Rin and Tanaka.

            “Good. We need to hold a meeting. And now.” The servants straightened themselves out and stood at attention in front of Ciel’s desk.

            “Yes sir!” They all waited as Ciel tapped his fingers against his desk. Finally, he sighed.

            “Alright, you all know about the recent events, yes?” When he received confirmation, he continued. “We need to make a plan to stop it. And soon. Otherwise, we’ll have the whole manor and grounds decorated with pumpkins. Somehow, I know whoever is doing this would find a way to make the manor into a pumpkin. We need to stop them before that happens. I DON’T want to LIVE in a PUMPKIN!!” He finished with a shout.

            “Aye, sir!”

            “Brainstorming starts now! Who has an idea?” Bart huffed and scratched his chin before he hummed.

“Why don’t we put up extra surveillance to see who’s doing this, and then confront them?“ Ciel nodded and mentally kept note of that.

“We can wire up alarms around the perimeter, so if anyone tries to get close to the manor, we’ll know.” Mey Rin offered.

“Get guard dogs trained to attack any strangers” Sebastian grumbled. Tanaka just looked at him incredulously. Finny raised his hand.

            “We confuse the culprits by decorating for Thanksgiving or Christmas instead!” Ciel mentally face palmed himself and immediately threw that idea away, but still nodded at the gardener.

            “Aright, how about we try them all? We’ll do Bart’s plan first and keep moving in that order.”

            “Right!”
