Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Who: Everybody!
What: The Halloween Ball is finally here.
When: Evening of October 31st. (Or earlier, for those who arrive pre-Ball to take advantage of the safety bubble.)
Where: In the village's main plaza.
Summary: After one of the most grueling weeks Luceti's ever known, it finally all comes to a head when a massive, spooky tent appears over the plaza. Once night falls, you never know what might happen...
Rating: Anywhere from PG to R for language or graphic descriptions, most likely.

It happens at midnight.

Without even a hint of a whisper, faster than you can even blink, the tent appears; a towering monstrosity of dirty, ripped canvas in stripes of black and red and white, swallowing the plaza whole. For most of the day it sits, silent and empty, with its great main flaps pulled open to show only inky blackness inside.

Step inside, however, and you'll see it's dimly lit with silver shafts of light that streak in through all those rips and tears. As foreboding as it appears, it's strangely peaceful inside.

Come 7:00 on the dot, that quiet, empty interior will instantaneously transform for the purposes of the evening. Even this sudden change, unlike many Luceti resident have undergone lately, is not as eerie as one might expect. Despite the gothic trappings, the blood punch fountain, there's something a little benign about it. Perhaps this is meant to be a reward for all that suffering you've been forced to endure for almost a week now.

Or maybe -- just maybe -- and who would ever think such a thing? -- it's not so benign after all.

(so, so sorry this is late, guys. have at it, comment-spam style! also, optional suggestion: put the time of day in your subject line title so we know if your character is showing up before or during the Ball itself.)

[So... Edward is lost. Again. The signs that Brave Vesperia put up around town would be helpful, except right now his view is obscured by the helmet of the costume he's been stuck in for days. Add the hallucinations he's been trying his best to handle and he's pretty much at the end of his rope, temper-wise. Getting lost? Only adds to his irritation.

So when he spots the plaza tent and ventures in, the sudden relief from any kind of hallucinations is tempting enough to make him want to stay. He's not a fan of parties, so instead of making himself comfortable and checking out the food and drink, he leans against the first wall he comes to and parks his metal-coated butt in place. He'll be there all night if the place allows it.]

[Well well, someone's dressed up today. Edward glances sidelong at the girl, and- ...is that Winry? Bwuh. He hasn't been around the smithy lately, so he hasn't seen much of anyone; seeing her in that get-up is quite the surprise. He fiddles with the helmet for a moment, struggling at first - it keeps getting stuck - before it slides up to reveal his face.]

You recognize this?

Oh, Edward. It's you.

Yes, a friend of mine used to wear that often.
vermified: (i don't like what you're saying)

[personal profile] vermified 2010-10-31 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Well sorry for being himself 8| Edward shrugs, arms crossing. ...And then uncrossing because the armor is way too clunky to fold that way, sob.]

This armor is too awkward to be sensible.

It... It was a hobby. How odd that you'd be wearing this, and Sokka...
vermified: (hold the phone)

[personal profile] vermified 2010-10-31 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
What about him? [He's wearing a silly red outfit that looks much too short for him.]

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
The armor you're wearing belongs to a boy named Al. Sokka's costume is an outfit his brother, Ed, used to wear.

[Ed needs a moment to let that sink in, because... wait, what.]

I remember- the Edward who had... auto-mail? The metal limbs? His brother wore this?

[...But it's so big.]

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. His younger brother, in fact.
vermified: (suspicious is me)

[personal profile] vermified 2010-10-31 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
A brother evidently more blessed in height.

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, that too. Hey, Edward? Have you been in the smithy lately? I haven't been able to make it since the week started.
vermified: (but I...)

[personal profile] vermified 2010-11-01 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately not. I've had little desire to work this week. It would be too dangerous in this armor, anyway.

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Edward, can I check something?
vermified: (hold the phone)

[personal profile] vermified 2010-11-02 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blink.] Certainly. What is it?

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Can you lean forward a bit? I want to look for a marking in the armor.
vermified: (a little lost in thought)

[personal profile] vermified 2010-11-03 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[That's an odd request, but okay. Edward ducks down a bit, low enough for her to see whatever it is she's looking for.]

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)


Sorry, thank you.

...Did you find what you were looking for? [Come on, don't leave him in the dark like that >:|]

[identity profile] crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I did.

Hey, Edward, did they have Halloween where you lived?
vermified: (wtf is this bullshit)

[personal profile] vermified 2010-11-08 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Edward makes a face at that.]

Thankfully no. It's an unpleasant holiday every time I experience it here.
