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.)

[Adell (http://www.klangundkleid.de/img/toys/H717940_3D-Animation--Tenchi-Masaki-Tenchi-Muyo_komma_-16-cm-CHF45.jpg), still in costume, has been keeping an eye on Terra quite a bit since the hallucinations started. Seeing her still frazzled was nothing of a surprise, but he was going to go over and see her anyway.]

...Hey, you feeling okay, Terra? As well as you can, anyway?

[Terra perks up a little as Adell approaches, and she smiles over at him.]

I'm tired...but at least I'm not seeing things anymore. That's worth staying here and awake. I'm sorry I couldn't be much help earlier....

[She'd wanted to help people to the tent, but that would have required clarity of thought she just didn't have then.]

[He gives her a reassuring smile.]

Don't be. I'm just thankful we found someplace to give you peace of mind for awhile, you know?

[She nods, truly grateful for that.]

Me, too. I can deal with a big party in exchange for not hearing or seeing certain things anymore. I hope the word got out to enough people. I'd hate to think of anyone suffering in ignorance....
