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.)

The stealing's the easy part; it's after he finds out about it that the situation gets a bit hairy, eh?
consultmybooks: (Oh Really?)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-10-31 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you attempting to set me up?
all7seas: (cuffs)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-10-31 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Now, Rupert; would I do such an underhanded thing as that? I've just supplied you with a far superior substitute for that bloody punch.

[A doubtful look at his costume.]

Unless you'd PREFER that...

I knew it!

[ And suddenly, McCoy (http://i.imgur.com/6192B.jpg) appears out of the throng of partygoers, like a ninja of the medical nature. Apparently this week and all its hallucinations have not affected him that much since the theft of his whiskey bottle has pissed him off. ]

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-10-31 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Giles holds out the bottle for McCoy to take and jerks a thumb at Jack]

His fault.
all7seas: (any way you slice it)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
My fault? I were just giving my good friend Rupert, here, a bit of medicine, doc. Surely you can't object to that?

[identity profile] hippocraticly.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I can object to a lot of things, you should know that by now. And getting rat's ass drunk with what's happening outside isn't the way to go.

[ Because you could get lost in the fog! And die! ]
consultmybooks: (Neither amused nor impressed)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-01 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I admit by now that I should know better than listen to anything he says. Or make eye contact.

[Getting lost in the fog? Been there. Done that. Got the scratches] How's Buffy?
all7seas: (that's my soul up there)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Neither of you are any fun at all, apparently. Nor is Buffy.

[identity profile] hippocraticly.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Who said I wanted this back to drink? I'm going to stick it where the sun won’t shine if you keep going on about her. [ He points the neck bottle at the pirate threateningly, before he looks at Giles and looks annoyed by the question. ]

Why are you asking me? Aren't you supposed to be her Watcher? [ He might be a little aggressive there, but he doesn't feel like going into a medical evaluation about his housemate while Jack is dancing around in his sheet and insulting them. ]
consultmybooks: (Get Out)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-01 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Giles takes off his glasses and starts cleaning them. Bones' aggression on that subject stings a bit, mostly because the other man is right.]

I haven't seen her since Wednesday.
all7seas: (dirty pirate)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oi! I've seen her. She made me promise not to...............

..........

Oh! What a lovely and or tasteful flower arrangement, just over there! Well lads, I'd best be off like McCoy's mum. But it were lovely speaking with you, ta! [And Jack tries to slink away.]

[identity profile] hippocraticly.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ McCoy eyes the pirate, but he would be happy to let Jack run away, considering only lies seem to come out of his mouth. But that mention of a promise though? Yep, grabbing him by the elbow before he can make his escape. ]

Hold on a second.
consultmybooks: (Ripper)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-05 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Giles grabs the sheet at about the same time. Oh, no you don't.]

Wait.
all7seas: (Ouch!)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-05 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack stops abruptly. He can't run out of the tent, for obvious reasons.]

Something....wrong, gents?

[identity profile] hippocraticly.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ McCoy doesn't answer him and throws a glance over at the Watcher. ]

Think you can handle him?
consultmybooks: (Neither amused nor impressed)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-05 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think he can quite get out from under the sheet.

But yes, I can manage.
all7seas: (ARGH!)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-05 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello? What's all this then, eh? What's all this? [Jack does NOT like to be "handled," not in the slightest. Especially not since the desert and what happened after when Buffy and McCoy brought him to the clinic. So he starts struggling.]

[identity profile] hippocraticly.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ McCoy is not dealing with this and shoves him away from himself. If Giles still has a good hold on him, fine. ]
consultmybooks: (Ripper)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-06 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Giles is not letting go. Giles doesn't like "handling" Jack either, but the Watcher is going to hold on, trusting to whatever is going on with the costumes to make sure that Jack can't escape]
all7seas: (where does your allegiance lie)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-06 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[So Jack stops struggling. Instead, he gets uncomfortably close to Giles, his rummy breath right in the Watcher's face.]

You two mind tellin' me why you're so intent on keeping my person here with you? Hmmm?

[identity profile] hippocraticly.livejournal.com 2010-11-06 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It'll stop you from losing your mind and taking someone else hostage.

[ And this would be Leonard McCoy, flogging a fond dead horse of his. ] You know something about Summers. Spill it and maybe you can go back to pissing everyone off.

[Giles' free hand goes to covering his mouth. Oh, good Lord, cheap shot.] What he said. Believe me, I'm not happy about being near you any more than absolutely necessary.
