"Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat; call in the spirits, wherever they're at. Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween: awaken the spirits with your tambourine. Wizards and witches, wherever you dwell, give us a hint, by ringing a be......oh break time!" said Madame Leota, deep within the Haunted Mansion. The table slowly split in half and Leota's crystal ball began to rise, but not due to anything supernatural. Instead, Madame Leota's head rose due to being attached to a body in a green bodysuit.

"Phew. This silly seance shtick really numbs the legs," she said, removing the fake crystal ball around her head. "But it's a great way to get out of the hotel for a couple of weeks." Madame Leota chuckles and begins to pull off her head, revealing a rather large kigurumi mask and the performer underneath. It was none other than Luana, the red-haired Pokémon trainer and leader of the Kumquat Gym. She was helping out with the Haunted Mansion while they were preparing for their Christmas season, which meant a lot of their effects were being updated.

"This is so much fun." Luana said delighted. "Maybe next year...they'll let me be Constance Hatchaway. I've really been working on my "Till death...do us part."" Luana got a quick stretch in before putting her mask and crystal ball base back on and getting underneath the table before the next round of doombuggies made their way into her parlor.
