I am the Kat that Walks By Itself

But it seemed to me that people were switching to parties in preference to the dangers of going door-to-door.

It's not as dangerous here. Though there are places I wouldn't want to walk about at night, my local suburb isn't one of them. These kids were unaccompanied. There were five of them, though, of varying ages. Which probably means that some or all of them were siblings. I wonder whose bright idea it was?
