James and Sirius, for today an accountant and a dentist, respectively, put the finishing touches on the Haunted Mansion (they had started the night before, and upon finding that in the morning their changes were still there, they had been quite pleased and finished up). Now that the room where the ceiling rose was magicked so that everyone would fit in it and still have plenty of space to move. On top of that, they had magically rewired the loudspeakers to the room, put up some spooky decorations, and even completed it with fake, scary looking ghosts (they had both been quite disappointed in the morning to discover that some of their ruder decorations, including hot, naked ghosts, were removed).

Then, James began to write the letters, and started some music.

Crowley,

We're throwing a party at the Haunted Mansion. Do you think you could provide refreshments? Feel free to come as well.

- James Potter and Sirius Black

Then, identical letters were sent out to everyone in the park.

Hey,

There will be a Halloween party at the Haunted Mansion in New Orlean's Square. Come around and have a great time. Also, if you have drinks or food that you want to bring to share, feel free.

- James Potter and Sirius Black

On the bottom of the paper, there's a witch flying on a broom, actually moving around on the paper.

A joke about merit badges for mixology formed on the tip of Cayce's tongue, but she figured it only made sense if you knew much about the Scouts, so she kept it to herself.

"What if there's more than one of the thing you want to summon?" she asked. "Like, say, t-shirts. How do you not end up being buried in t-shirts?"

"Well, you'd just have to be specific? Er, that doesn't really happen anyway. Summoning charms are pretty basic," he said, "so when you first learn them you might make mistakes like that, but they become second nature pretty quickly. If you know what you're doing, you just wind up getting what you were wanting to summon."

"Oh, I get it. Sort of like the way you're able to pick someone out in a crowd and say 'hey you' and get their attention." She smiled. "Sorry. I'm sure my questions about this sort of thing seem really dim and basic. The whole magic thing is kind of a novelty for me."

"That's a good analogy. And sort of, but no worries there," he grinned. "I know buggerall about muggles, you know, and I even took muggle studies in school. It's really a cultural thing, I hardly mind explaining."
