Some doodles from my WITW post-musical story! Story details and closeups under the cut

Lesser and Cheryl haven't seen Chief since they lost Toad Hall, and they assume the Riverbankers are to blame for it- I feel like a part of them would probably suspect that the Riverbankers had actually eaten him as payback for them almost eating Portia. Either way, they start causing more chaos than usual as a way to fight back; only the Wild Wooders' tendancy to pretend like they don't love each other means that this comes with no explanation to the Riverbankers.

Now, the Riverbankers haven't seen Chief since he used the chaos of Toad's entrance at the party to run away, lashing out at a rabbit butler on the way. So when the chaos begins, they assume that Chief has gone back to the Wild Woods and is trying to pull another stunt like he had at Toad Hall.

Chief hadn't wanted to go back to the Wild Wood, thinking that because he'd fucked up big time with the Toad Hall plan he would be hated by his friends. After he ran away from the party, Mole found him and encouraged him to go back to his friends; but not before accidentally, with that British awkward kindness, invited Chief to stay at his house if going home didn't work out.

When Chief went back to the Wild Woods, he came across the Foxes, who have their own ulterior motives, and so they turned hostile and attacked, chasing Chief out of the woods. So where did he go? The only place he could, Mole's house. Mole is at Ratty's, but when he returns a few days later and finds an injured Chief there, he calls upon Badger and lets Chief stay until he's healed.

Anyway, I'm rambling, but this whole story is Chief and Mole becoming friends whilst the Riverbankers and the Wild Wooders start causing chaos with each other. Mole knows that Chief could put a stop to all of the havoc if he just... told everyone where he was, but Chief doesn't want to do that, even after he heals, for multiple reasons. It's a mess of miscommunication and I love it!

I have headcanons for how the characters act on Halloween- a lot of these come from my good friend and fellow actor in the play, she doesn't have a tumblr but she is in our Weasel Hall discord server.

Badger - Doesn't go Trick or Treating, hands out candy instead

Mole - Dresses up as the basic Halloween costumes [vampire, Frankenstein's monster, etc], doesn't like being scared, likes the treats more than the tricks

Ratty - Often helps Badger hand out candy, sometimes goes Trick or Treating with Mole

Toad - Takes more than one candy from the bowls that say "take one", loves spooking people

Mrs Otter and Portia - Portia wants to go Trick or Treating alone, but Mrs Otter always goes with her so she doesn't lose her again, especially during the nighttime

Lesser and Chief pull shitty pranks on people, egg and/or TP Toad Hall, and take 2-3 candies from the take one bowl

Lesser somehow accidentally eggs and/or TPs Chief

Sheryl accidentally makes a kid cry

A kid in a somewhat scary costume accidentally makes Lesser cry

Lesser hates Halloween but pretends not to be scared because the Wild Wooders would tease him forever (they all already know- he isn't good at hiding it)

Also, Toad, Mole, and Ratty would go to a haunted house

Toad would get scared and scream "RATTY, HOLD ME"

Toad would scream and them Mole would scream and then Toad would scream louder

At the end Toad would act like he wasn't scared

"You should have seen your faces!"

"You literally said, and I quote, 'RATTY, HOLD ME'"

". . . That was one of the ghosts possessing me!"

And then they arrive back to Badger's place and it's like "Why are Mole and Toad shaking?"

Mole doesn't hide his fear but Toad does and is doing it horribly

Mole finds out Lesser hates Halloween and they spend some time watching Corpse Bride or The Nightmare Before Christmas

The guy with the car sets out the "take one" bowls

And watches in misery as people take more than one

The hedgehogs wear family costumes

Guess who rediscovered the Wind in the Willows musical recently?! What a fun soundtrack. The Wild Wooders are great, of course.
