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.)

Mmm, but it turned out fine before. [ Giggle giggle. ] It's nice when you're not thinking about things. [ Giggle lean giggle giggle ]

Not sure I'd call that 'fine'. You tried to make me dance.

[ He doesn't protest at the leaning, but the look Josh is getting has become a little more calculating. He hadn't thought Joshua would be the type to drown his sorrows.

Even if not thinking about things does sound nice. ]

[ Giggle ] Oh, come on. The dancing wasn't that bad.

[ That's because Joshua hasn't done it since becoming Composer, except on a couple rare occasions that he also made sure involved lots of loud music, flashing lights, dancing, and sweating bodies crammed together in corners of Shibuya he knew Sanae wouldn't bother going, and he could keep track of his stronger Reapers well enough to know none of them would be showing up. But he doesn't have the luxury of hiding from everything that has to do with what's bothering him here. ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
No, J, I'm pretty sure the dancing was that bad.

[ He could probably dance if he wanted to, having so much more anonymity and freedom than a Composer, but he doesn't. Sanae's mingling with those in the RG is often limited to CAT and cafe work. ]

You've probably had enough punch for now.
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Hee hee. It slipped.)

Ah, but I wasn't the one under discussion. [ Giggle giggle. ]

One of us oughtta stay sober or it'll be August all over again.

[ The kissing, he means. Kissing that isn't one-sided, kissing that he actually enjoys, and that's the unsettling part. When it's just Joshua being pushy, at least he knows what's going on and how he feels about it.

It's been months since the betrayal came out, and he still doesn't have any idea where they stand with each other. ]

Mmm, except that you won't have Taboo corruption on your penis. [ And with that, he bursts into a fresh giggle fit. 273 going on 14. ]

[ On the outside, it's more like this.

The statement itself wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the completely-mature giggling that comes with it. ]


Right. And I'm thankful for that every day.

[ Drunk Josh is drunk. This is what Sanae gets. ]

I'm sure you are. Say, Mr. H., would you...

[ And he trails off. Because he manages to halt that question when his brain kicks in to scream Maybe you don't want to ask that ]

[ during \o/ ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Would I...?

[ He's too busy being weirded out by the 'Mr. H' to worry if that's a 'like to dance?' or something even worse. ]
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Hee hee. It slipped.)

[ during \o/ ]

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2010-11-02 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, public. ]

Mmm, nothing. Hee hee. [ That look Josh is giving you? That's a look. With italics. ]

[ during \o/ ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sanae doesn't like that look. At all. ]

I won't do any dancing, if that's what it is.
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Are you so sure?)

[ during \o/ ]

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2010-11-02 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Giggle giggle ] Nope. You can keep guessing if you want.

[ during \o/ ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
No kissing, either. There was enough a' that last year.

[ Even if last year was very, very different. ]
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Hee hee. It slipped.)

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2010-11-02 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Giggle ] That's closer.

[ during \o/ ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
That had better not be a 'would you like to go home with me.'

[ But it's said with amusement because, you know. Being housemates provides a nicely innocent double meaning. ]
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Are you so sure?)

[ during \o/ ]

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2010-11-02 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ And that gets almost a laugh out of him. ]

Ah, but I'd never offer to take them home. That would rather kill the mood for most people.

[ during \o/ ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
If it weren't for that, I'd be draggin' you back to our place now, Josh. Don't want you gettin' in too much trouble after all that alcohol.
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Hee hee. It slipped.)

[ during \o/ ]

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2010-11-02 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Please, Mr. H., I'm old enough to look after myself.

[ during \o/ ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Then what was it you were askin' me for?
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Are you so sure?)

[ during \o/ ]

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2010-11-02 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Giggle giggle ] Nothing at all.

[ during \o/ ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
If it's nothing, I might as well stop guessing. All I'll get for my trouble is a whole lot a' giggling.
neverplaysfair: ([Adult]: Hee hee. It slipped.)

[ during \o/ ]

[personal profile] neverplaysfair 2010-11-02 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ YOU MEAN THIS GIGGLING? ] Is something wrong with that?

[ during \o/ ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
It gets a little old after a while.

[ Actually, he's not too bothered. It only begins to get uncomfortable when coupled with leaning and draping and other drunkenness. Like right now. ]
