EVENT LOG: POLTERGEIST PRANKSTERS

Who: ....Ghostbusters?
What: If there somethin' strange in your neighbourhood?
When: Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
Where: If there's something weird and it don't look good...
Summary: Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
Rating: I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

Halloween is once again descending on Luceti! There's a maze and some mists and some ghoulish visitors and all kinds of pranks. Oh, and the parties. Don't forget the parties. Or the candy. Man, those kids on the draft don't know what they're missing.

As a reminder:

Starting on the 28th (yesterday) and going until the 31st, strange thngs are happening in Luceti. This is for those who have stayed behind from the draft OR for those who have been safely evacuated from the draft after their requisite quarantine time.

Get lost in the maze! Get rid of the spiders and rats and bats! Eat candy! Try on costumes! Do stuff unrelated to these weird happenings!

Be pranked! Do pranks of your own (if you wanna take advantage of the great scapeghosts)! Go to their harvest festival party!

Most of all? Have a spooktacularly fun time.

[ Ikki can be found wandering around the village any day with Soren in tow, either tracking down ghosts to watch or try to talk to, looking at decorations, or getting into the Halloween spirit however and wherever she can. If you catch her eating lunch anywhere she will basically have Halloween themed cuisine for always.

Most of her time will be spent in the maze once it pops up, however. You can find her going into it whenever she has any free time, and she'd be more than happy to go in with a group. Or maybe you'll meet her around the next corner. Whatever the case, she seems to enjoy wandering around in there, probably because flying out if it starts to get too late is always an option.

She'll also demand to know what people are dressing up as for Halloween, if she knows them. "Nothing" is not an acceptable answer. 8|

Basically she will be in high spirits all around, although news of certain deaths are no fun. Her grandpa and several others came back safe and sound, so she's cheerful about that, at least. ]

[Do you know what there are too many of around here?

High spirits.

Raven has no interest in a maze with ghosts in it or a party which ghosts are throwing. But she has to get through the plaza in order to get food. And there they are, all a-partying. She's got her stoneface on from the draft, and a heavy limp, and no way to outrun the spooks playing tricks.

So she is pretty ~~damn~~ darn spooked herself when she comes across Ikki, Soren, and their halloween lunch.

...Soren, especially.]

[ Soren is the one who spots Raven first, and he makes a pretty big fuss, nudging Ikki and trying to get her to go say hi - not that it takes much coaxing, once Ikki registers who he's trying to go see. She's never met Raven in Soren's company, so Ikki had absolutely no idea how acquainted the two are, just grins up at Raven while Soren chatters on to fill her in (not that she can...understand most of that.) ]

Raven, hi! [ She'd memorized the names of all the art club members, including anyone who'd just come to the first meeting and dropped out. ] How're you? Did you eat anything yet? It's all really - what?

[ Soren why are you being so noisy. Ikki's side-eyeing you. ]

[To her credit, Raven nods to Ikki before reaching out to pat Soren on the head. A reminder that Chien was gone. She rests a finger on his chattering beak and shakes her head. You behave for the little human girl, okay?]

We know each other. [And in truth, Soren is getting a much softer look from her than most anyone else does. Even Ikki she won't scowl at.]

What is all this? A festival?

Oh, really? [ Ikki shoots her new partner a curious glance, but Soren's focused on Raven right now. He takes the attention well, preening, although the warning wasn't necessary - he's totally behaving! ...Mostly. Well, they get along well, anyway.

If they knew one another...but Ikki doesn't ask about Chien, not just then. She grins at Raven's question, instead. ]

Sort of! It's a build-up to Halloween, I think! That's a holiday in some worlds. Not mine, but it is super fun, don't you think? There's candy and lots of really good food and stuff. And ghosts, who brought it? Um. I'm not sure about them, but they don't seem to be doing anything too bad, so it's fine!

But the best part of it is the maze! Have you been in there? You get a prize if you make it to the center.

[Keeping one hand on Soren's head, Raven tries to follow Ikki's meandering words. At 'ghosts' she pales, not even hearing the concerned chirp from the bird beside her.]

I...no. I haven't. ...Ghosts?

[ Ikki nods, gesturing to the general Halloween atmosphere around them. ]

They've been doing these party things? I think they might've brought the maze, too, if only 'cause it showed up at the same time.

[Glancing quickly over either shoulder, Raven finds only mists. No ghosts. Phew.]

I'll just stay home.

[Nope Soren is protesting.]

[ Yep, he is. Wow, he really likes this girl. Ikki grins, and reaches out to take Raven's sleeve. ]

Do you not like ghosts?

[Instead of answering out loud, she frowns and shakes her head. No, she does not like ghosts. Not at all. Never seeing one again would be none too many.

Why are you holding that sleeve, small child.]

Do you want to do something else with Soren and I, then?

You never said how you two met!

In space, when he was a little bird.

[With Chien. Raven actually liked him.]

In space?

[Nod.]

It was a...draft for fighting. [She didn't like it. But it was better than this last one.]

In space?

[...]

Yes. In space.

What was it like??? Did you touch a star?!

There were no stars.

[Which was really, really off-putting and unsettling.]

...How could there be no stars?

I don't know. Something the Malnosso do.

So what was it like? How'd you breathe?

We were inside a building. It had air. [Not her favorite thing to talk about, space.] Or in a...moving space inn.

That's so cool.

[ Well, there's not much more to be said there. Ikki tentatively tries for something more serious. ] So you were friends with Chien...?

Sort of. [Oh hush, little bird.] We knew each other. He was okay.

We were friends, too.
