Mummies!

[runningred]

Werewolves. Zombies. Party. Candy! Treat. Also, costume on days that aren't Halloween.

My mates and I use to throw a superhero party on Valentines; book a romantic restaurant and just go out for a meal. Utterly straight-faced and without any sign there was anything strange about it at all. It was utterly worth it for the looks we got.

Werewolves, though barely. Too fed up with the Alpha wolf BS.

Mummies, especially when they mix alchemy in.

Party while remembering. Ain't no reason to not invite those who've passed not to come along.

Candy. Scares are fun, but candy is more universal.

Treat following a trick?

Vampires. Proper Hammer Horror ones, though.

Zombies. I watch Shaun of the Dead every year on Halloween without fail.

Party.

Candy. Well, chocolate.

Both.

Werewolves, vampires are too melodramatic, too many years of playing Vampire the Masquerade
Mummies
If this is for my own funeral, party, definitely with everyone sharing stories

Treat

This reminds me of some Tumblr memes of screencaps of Cassidy captioned with the phrase [sad vampire noises]. Even he can't escape that stereotype.

[childofrebellion]

Hee, poor Cassidy, he'd hate that. Though his sad faces are wonderful.

According to my pup roster, vampires!
Zombies
Partaaay
Scare (but peanut butter cups are always good)
Treat (aforementioned peanut butter cups)

Enjolras:

- has heard Bahorel rant enough to vaguely feel obligated to pick werewolf out of symbolism solidarity
- doesn't really know what zombies are, but has heard Combeferre enthuse about hieroglyphics enough to vaguely feel as if he ought to pick mummies
- remembrance, if it's of the right person or things
- ...neither? What? Okay sure candy if he has to pick he guesses
- is this a cultural thing? Treat...??

Cosette:

- once the concepts have been explained: oh dear, they both sound horrid! :D
- once the concepts have been explained: oh dear, they both sound horrid! :(
- why, both in the right time, of course. And sometimes I think an occasion can be a little of both, don't you?
- Candy, please! :D
- I don't quite understand, but treat sounds the safer choice, right?

Thor

- officially thinks that Everyone Has Their Own Customs, but practically speaking probably gets along more consistently well with werewolves
- would prefer to not be either himself, thank you, but you do you! Not interested in hanging out with either unless they're sentient and reasonably intelligent undead, but if they are, sure, he's cool with them if they're cool with him.
- BOTH OBVIOUSLY, any good Asgardian remembrance is a party anyway :D (Please note, for certain people or situations Thor does not always put his money where his mouth is here. But that's his broad policy.)
- Ha! I do not scare easily, my friend, but let us try this candy.
- Are we talking small children trick or treating? Trick! Do your worst, because he bets it's gonna be adorable! But he'll give them treats after, and extra candy for anyone who really tried with their pranking.

Kazul:

- No thank you. Werewolves if you must.
- No thank you.
- Parties are a good deal more fun, with or without a remembrance along for the ride.
- *shows teeth* Candy.
- I don't advise you try to trick a dragon.

Doctor Dinosaur:

Has eaten the trick-or-treaters. I'm so sorry. (Alternately, he tried and then they outsmarted him. Could go either way, really.)
