Wednesday, October 31, 9 a.m., Tracy Island

"Now, is it my imagination, or are we having a lot more parties recently?" Emily asked as she stacked breakfast dishes in the autowasher.

"Don't ask me," Lisa replied from the sink, where she was washing her hands. "I haven't been here that long."

"Indeed, Mrs. Tracy, we have been celebrating more than has been our practice," Kyrano replied, backing out of the refrigerator with some of the ingredients for frosting. "But then, we have had much to celebrate, and many more with whom to do so."

"True," Emily admitted, washing her hands. "I'll get the cake from the freezer. I do hope Dominic likes this."

"I'm sure he will, Emily," Lisa said before ducking into the pantry. She came back out a moment later with a clear, air-tight container. "This is the confectioner's sugar, right?"

Kyrano took one look at the container and nodded. "Yes, it is."

"Good." She set it on the central work area. "Exactly how much food are we making for this evening, anyway?"

"The meal will be mostly hors d'oeuvre and finger foods," Kyrano explained as he began to measure out the powdered sugar into an small stand-up mixer. "The guests are supposed to bring foods of their own; I am told by Miss Elise that most are bringing dessert-type items, though Mr. Luke, for one, is bringing wings." He pointed to the white board near the kitchen's tiny desk. "You will find a list of what we are making there. I believe Dr. Tracy desires some time in the kitchen later to bake brownies."

"Probably her double chocolate brownies, unless I miss my guess." Lisa moved over to the board and used a soft stylus to scroll down the list posted there. "Well, I'll get started on the turkey and ham roll-ups then."

"I'll start assembling the fruit trays," Emily told them. "Get those out of the way early." As she headed for the refrigerator, she asked, off-handedly, "What are you two planning on coming as?"

Kyrano cleared his throat. "Lisa would like our costumes to remain a surprise." He didn't sound too enthusiastic.

"You mean that you'd like that, Tuan," Lisa chided. "I like what we've picked out."

"You're not happy with what you're going as?" Emily asked, curious.

"I am... uncomfortable with the character I will be portraying, yes. He was... a criminal, and I do not like to glorify such." He squirmed a little. "And I am not used to such a different style of clothing."

"Well, if it's any comfort to you, Kyrano," Emily said, in a matter-of-fact tone, "I'm going as the Wicked Witch of the West. Can't get much more evil than that!" She paused, then added, "Not to mention the green make-up. I just hope I don't scare poor Joshua!"

"See, Tuan?" Lisa said smugly. "We'll be in good company."

"I see, my dear." Kyrano replied, sighing. "But that does not make me comfortable with the role."

The two women exchanged glances, then shook their heads slowly.
