"And I wouldn't want to miss the look on his face either." Phoenix chuckled. "Probably the last bit of fun I'll be able to have for a while."

Lynda, Ondine and Atsuko were in the center court, watching Abby visit the animals. They had also been looking for the twins earlier and were relieved to know that they were recovered safe and sound.
<<< They can be approached >>>
Kendall worked on his computer all afternoon, conferring with his developmental team as they completed work on the latest game. He then downloaded it and looked at the latest beta version.

"I think it's going to be recorded in some way to use as blackmail on him," said Ebony, "but anyway, I would feel better if you were part of it."
She looked over at where Lynda, Ondine, and Atsuko were. "Hmmm, maybe I should go ask them now, since they're only watching Abby at the moment and I think I can interrupt that." She turned to Phoenix, "Wanna come with me?"

"Sure," Phoenix nodded.

"Alright," Ebony shifted into Reverse and backing up to let Phoenix pass.
She then headed over to where the three other women were at. "Hey," the Viper said, pulling up to them, "Can I ask you all a question?"

The women turned as Ebony approached them. "Certainly." Lynda smiled. "Little'uns need watching?"

Ebony nodded, "Yeah, they do. Because I'm gonna be out with everyone else involved in the prank for most of the night. I don't want them wandering off again while I'm not there."

"Sure." Lynda nodded with an impish smirk. "We don't want Mr. Hicks to miss his meeting with the Queen of the Undead."

"Thanks," smiled Ebony, "and we certainly don't want to miss that important appointment." Then she grinned even wider, glancing at Phoenix, Ricardo, and Mrs. Weathers, "Well, I'd better get 'prettied up' for my 'hot date' with Mr. Hicks."
"Yeah, my guess is that Miguel and Sonja already have all the paints ready," said Ricardo, "Let's go see what they've got so we can choose in advance what we want to look like."

Kendall finally closed up his notebook unit and joined Ebony as Lynda and Ondine went to look after the twins. "I wanna see the look on his face."
In the stables, a whole crew of humans were either putting on costumes or transforming the appearance of horses so that they looked like something out of The Cremaster Cycle.

With Jason's guidance, Delfina learned all she could about focus, and then about manipulation. She wasn't having any problems because of the water sphere that she had generated to conserve her energy while she was in lessons. When the session ended, it was seven hours later, and she felt that she had learned enough. She thanked Jason and headed back to the center court to see how everything was during her absence.

"Me too," agreed Ebony.
Ricardo led the group to the equipment bay where Miguel and Sonja had set up a temporary body shop where they would begin turning the cars into zombies and they were waiting for their first customer.

"Well, shall we go?" Kendall asked.
Darcy saw to it that the center court pets were fed and watered for the night and followed everyone else to where Miguel and Sonya were waiting. She had never met these two before. "Hello?"

"I go out first," said Phoenix, "to 'curse' him. I just have to know where he's at and if he's anywhere nearby."
Ebony nodded, "And after that, he meets up with me and I chase him to my 'crash site' where the rest of you are waiting."
She let Ricardo apply the zombie makeup on her, who then added a bit of an extra touch that identified her as the Queen of the Undead. The now-zombified Viper turned to Kendall. "How do I look?"
Miguel and Sonja smiled as Darcy came up. "Hola, Senorita," Miguel bowed politely.

Kendall let out an amorous tiger-growl. "Like hell on wheels, your majesty."
"Wow..." Darcy was suitably impressed as she turned to Ricardo's sibs. "I'm already white enough, so you can just do whatever makes me look scary enough."
Mike was also among the small crew of cars waiting to be made over into zombies.
Chick Hicks, as Strip had predicted, had not given up on going where he was not invited. The green racer made another try at approaching the mountain, seeing that there was no apparent opposition this time.

Ebony grinned and joked, "Better stay loyal to me."
Ricardo was pleased with his handywork and turned to the rest of the small group of cars. "Who's next?"
Miguel looked Darcy over. "You'd make a perfect ghost," he smiled, "Just need to paint a gash here and there... maybe with a little bit of fake oil "leaking" out for effect." He hauled out the appropriate-colored paints and got to work, with Sonja helping him.
* * * * *
In the meantime, Delfina came in and told Phoenix that she had sensed Chick approaching the mountain. She was dressed in an old, Victorian brides' dress, which had been tattered and stained with dirt and fake blood, actually red nail polish, to effect the appearance of a ghostly bride who had "died" before her wedding day.
"Thanks, Delfina," Phoenix nodded to the human, and went to fuel up and then leave the mountain to cast her "curse."
