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.)

[She nods readily to that.]

I can understand that...and I'll be glad to get rid of the wig. That's itchy, too.

[A glance around and a small smile.]

I'm not sure why they would put us through all that and then through a party. Still, it's better than being outside.

I just wish they had sent out invitations like normal people to this thing.

Me, too.

[She bites her lip.]

I hope there's no one missing this who would be better off inside.

[Being free of hallucinations for a while is a wonderful thing, after all. But she doesn't dare step outside that tent, not even for a moment.]
goldenglasses: (Why'd I have to get the hicky there?)

Me too. [Vash shifts his weight from foot to foot for a moment.] I hope those staying away aren't seeing anything too scary.

[Terra says nothing immediately in response to that, able to guess all too well.]

...is it just me, or was it worse today than the rest of the week?
goldenglasses: (And that one looks like a bunny!)

It was pretty bad all week, but today did seem a little worse. [Little being an understatement.]

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles weakly, knowing how much of an understatement that truly is.]

Well...come tomorrow, it should all change. At least, I don't remember any experiments that carried over from one month to the next.

I hope so. I've had more than enough of this holiday.
