[Liz is currently sitting in the hallway in front of a line of pumpkins, her gaze bereft and full of tears. Her voice is choked and she sounds like a complete and total mess.

Hysterics are approaching.]

Look, ummm... I, like, don't even know if anyone will hear this, but... Could I, like, get some help, please?

The pumpkins...

[She breaks off in a choked sob, hands over her face.]

I- I t-tried to, like, pick it up, but I can't... I keep going right through it. I almost had it with my telekenesis, but it started, like, screaming and it startled me and I tried to grab it, but... She told me not to and yelled at me, but I couldn't put it back... She screamed and...

[She chokes off, unable to finish. She'll be sitting in the hallway with her best friend Tori's pumpkin practically disolved on the floor in front of her.

Problem with being a ghost... it's possible no one will even see her sitting there. They will see the pumpkin, sure, and hear her crying/talking, but it's all up to YOU! Maybe you will see her. Who knows!!!]

[If Chloe isn't paying too much attention, she just might run right through Liz, who is sitting rather quietly on the floor of the hall.

However, being as how Chloe is one of the few that can see her ALL the time, this is unlikely.

She looks up at the approaching steps and when she sees who is coming she simply looks back at the shriveled up pumpkin.]

It was Tori...

[Chloe ceases running when she sees Liz, her mouth forming a small 'o' as she slowly edges closer.]

Tori?

[Crouching down next to Liz, Chloe looks at the shriveled pumpkin and her eyebrows rise. It did resemble Tori, though it was slightly misshapen now.]

Liz, wh-what's going on?

[Liz looks miserable as she looks up at Chloe.]

You hear the voices, don't you? All the mean little whispers and blame and, like, stuff... There's pumpkins from home, Chloe. They have the faces of people we know. I, like, found Tori and my dad...

[She gestures to the looming demonic pumpkin still on a post behind Chloe.]

I, like, tried to take Tori down, but I'm all ghosty right now. So I tried to use my telekinesis, and it didn't work too well and she, like, started to scream and it was horrible and I, like, couldn't hold her and she slipped. She shriveled up and died and I just want to go home.

[The last is said in a rush, but is heavy with emotion.]
