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.)

Right, I keep forgetting that they don't exist everywhere.

Dead body animated by some sort of means and driven to drink the blood of the living.

Undead, you mean? Like zombies or wraiths?

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-02 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
More or less. Just generally a lot more intelligent.
falenandawn: (hmm.... thinking face go!)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Less like monsters, more like people?
consultmybooks: (Neither amused nor impressed)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-02 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
More like monsters able to pretend that they're people.

[Then, grudgingly] But that was how they were back home. Some of the ones here aren't quite so bad.

Oh... I see.

There are some here....?

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-02 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
A few. I only know of four.
falenandawn: (wtf)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
4....? Well, that's got to be a complicated lifestyle, in any case.
consultmybooks: (Hold On)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-02 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
No, I only know of four here. There are a lot more back home.
falenandawn: (omg)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
A lot more? If they're that intelligent, that could be a problem.

The undead in my world aren't uncommon, however, they're but mere monsters.
consultmybooks: (Hold On)

[personal profile] consultmybooks 2010-11-02 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
The ones in my home are monsters as well. Just...smarter monsters.

You mentioned zombies and wraiths?
falenandawn: please do not use any of the icons on these pages without credit (uh?)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, undead creatures that lurk in ruins or underground. [gotta love random encounters.]

Do you fight them regularly?
falenandawn: (huh2)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, not those exact ones, but I fight monsters regularly, at least back home.
