[ Hours before the party proper, Hans can be found setting up in the third floor ballroom. He's not sure how the pumpkins got there (he can guess) but there's actually quite a bit of ground to cover, dragging stuff up from the kitchen and setting up decorations, so he could use a little help? Maybe? Or you could just watch, that works too. You gotta admit he goes through a lot of trouble to win people over. ]

Could you, um... would you mind helping me with this table?

[ bread dad was the best at lifting tables Gosh, he's just doing what he can here... not that anyone necessarily cares, Hans. He did kind of bring this upon himself, but he'll be damned if he lets the whole murder-cake business ruin Halloween.

Later, during the part, Hans can be found chatting it up or examining the carving tools and admiring the pumpkin on the table he's decided is his. ]

We're supposed to draw a face on them, right?

[ By the way, Hans is "dressed up" as a pumpkin. Or like, the douchiest alternative to a pumpkin imaginable. Why was this in the costume shop? Who rightly knows. ]

This is going to be messy, isn't it.

[ But his gloves... :'( ]
