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.)

He did the last time... but I think that had something more to do with guilt than anything else... and if he gave you crap, I'd give it right back to him.

He'll be back... I don't know what would've happened if he'd been here last week. I was so caught up in myself...

True, but I think he'd have hovered in any case, really. And thank you, though I really should have thought ahead.

I think plenty of people were, myself included. I'm sorry I wasn't around much to help. [he'd been hiding from everyone, really, and felt terrible for it.] But we survived it, at least.

[Selphie can't help but nod... she knows him well enough by now to know that much.]

No, no... it's okay...
falenandawn: ([Commander] grin)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Ok..... [An awkward pause.... Then he decides to change the subject.] We might as well enjoy the party. Would you like to dance?

[Selphie blinks then lets her head tilt to the left before looking at Frey in confusion before pointing a finger at herself.]
falenandawn: ([Commander] smile)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods, grinning.] Well, it is a ball. Dancing usually happens.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
What if you don't know how to dance...?
falenandawn: ([Commander] grin)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll teach you. It's not that hard.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Even if you have two left feet like I do?
falenandawn: ([Commander] bow)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-02 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Even then. [Holding out a hand now.]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
So you do have two left feet then? [Selphie laughs as she places her hand in Frey's.]
falenandawn: ([Commander] grin)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-03 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Why don't you see for yourself? [He'll take her hand and pull her up, getting them into a position for a basic waltz.] It's all pretty simple, really.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Well... here goes! Frey, BE MANRY and lead already.] Sorry, if I step on your feet...
falenandawn: ([Commander] smile)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-03 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He begins to lead her in the steps, keeping it slower at first so she can get the hang of it.] Don't worry, I'm used to it.

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Selphie bows her head in concentration as she follows Frey's feet to match her own with them.]

One, two, three... owe, two, three...
falenandawn: ([Commander] grin)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-03 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
You're doing good. [She's picking up quickly. He grins, though, when he thinks of something.] You know, when Ceodore gets back, maybe you two could go dancing.

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-03 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[crap. He'd upset her.] ...He'll be back soon.
falenandawn: (Well...)

[personal profile] falenandawn 2010-11-03 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[[He lapses into silence. Way to go making it awkward, Frey.]

[identity profile] boomchucka.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Selphie looks at Frey curiously for a bit but doesn't say anything else.]
