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.)

[Giles raises his eyebrows] Too bad that it's not blood, or too bad that it's tasteless?

[His eyes widen, and he splutters,] T-that it's tasteless! . . . It's good that it's not blood.

Ah, of course. Thought you meant that. Sorry, I'm just a bit...paranoid, I suppose you could say.

[Ha, oh, haha, he's feeling a little warm from embarrassment. The boxes aren't helping.]

It's all right. I thought that was the case. Vampires, is it?
consultmybooks: (Neither amused nor impressed)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-02 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Vampires, yes. [He hates them, oh yes he does.] The Organization have the most twisted sense of irony I've ever encountered.

[He tips his head to the side, slightly.] How so?

There's a vampire from my world that dresses rather like this.

[A pause. He gets it now.] That explains a lot.

I hate unknowable captors with senses of humor.

[identity profile] hakoiri.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
The Organization's sense of "humor" has been rather . . . cutting, that much is for certain.

...any idea why you're dressed as a box, by the way?

[identity profile] hakoiri.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[He thinks, then responds in a fairly jovial manner,] I have a feeling it's an old conversation between my friends and I back to haunt me.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

[identity profile] hakoiri.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's not so bad in retrospect. This just means I was really put in a box in addition to my supposedly being sheltered.

So I get the twisted sense of humor, and you get the penchant for metaphors.

I wonder which is worse?

Still. Should burn well enough, if you wanted.

[identity profile] hakoiri.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
That looks to be the case.

Well, I don't mind it so much anymore . . . [So the question is, do you mind yours, Giles? Probably. But wait,] Burn?

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-05 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Flatly] Burn.

We're having a bonfire after this and burning the costumes. You're welcome to add yours' in, if you want.

[identity profile] hakoiri.livejournal.com 2010-11-06 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
A bonfire, eh? Hm. I'll consider it. I admit, I've grown a little attached to . . . [he means the boxes, naturally. For some reason.]

[For some reason. Giles shrugs and sighs]

Suit yourself.
