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.)

So not funny, Mr. H! He kept grabbing for them and he was giggling the whole time! Isn't there any way to...I don't know, detox him?

I'd offer to get him home, but with the hallucinations, that'd be cruel. But if I can find the guy, I'll keep an eye on him -- don't want him gettin' into too much trouble.
so_shik: (fear will hold you back)

[during the ball ]

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-02 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah, that's the other thing. I even bribed him with ear-pets and he wouldn't really give me details about what he was seeing. Is it really that bad?

...

[ His expression goes a little cold, and that's all that needs to be said, really. ]

Me and Josh have seen a lot a' bad stuff. So has anyone who's been in the upper planes for a while. But I guess the more bad stuff you've seen, the better you get at coping, so that's something.
so_shik: (for once you have my full attention)

[during the ball ]

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-02 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh. So really it is that bad.] Which means you've seen more bad stuff than you'll ever tell any of us, haven't you?

I've been watching over Tokyo since before it was called Tokyo. I've seen plenty.

The tent is a relief, that's for sure.
so_shik: (pouty)

...sorry, Mr. H. [She kind of feels sort of massively stupid right now for complaining.]

[during the ball ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... but, hey, I've seen a lot of good stuff too. It evens out, somehow.

[ He shrugs, folds his wings in a little tighter. ]

Like I said, the tent is a relief. I'm doing alright so long as this place is here, and so's Josh, when he's not off harassing strangers.
so_shik: (Ummm)

[during the ball ]

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-03 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
If you say so. I can't even begin to imagine it. [She shrugs though.]

In all fairness, as long as he's not trying to lift my skirt or anything it's not that bad.

[during the ball ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm still fond a' humanity after all these years, so it's not all bad.

And I don't think J would take it that far, even drunk.
so_shik: (pouty)

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-04 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Or you're just that forgiving of people. Either way that's not a bad thing.

I don't either but...keep an eye on him anyway? Please?

[during the ball ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'll watch him. The guy's usually pretty harmless, but with how much punch he's had, keepin' an eye on him is probably a good idea.

You seen Phones around?
so_shik: (you should listen to me more)

[during the ball ]

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-04 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks a lot.

He came in with me a little while ago...I think I left him sulking in one of the corner, actually. He hates his costume.

Guess I can't blame the guy. Sure am glad the Malnosso didn't stick me in anything, or the wings'd be even trickier to deal with.
so_shik: (Ummm)

[during the ball ]

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-05 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Are you just telling everybody that you chose this then?

[during the ball ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I've been telling everybody that they forced me into this. You're just onna the few folks who knows better.
so_shik: (so adorable!)

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-05 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess that makes me special. What about Neku?

[during the ball ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-06 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
Neku knows. Just found out recently.

[ It's brief, hard to catch, but he doesn't quite seem pleased about that. ]
so_shik: (confused)

[during the ball ]

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-06 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
What'd he have to say about it?

[during the ball ]

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2010-11-08 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Said he thinks the wings are kinda cheesy.
so_shik: (shiki the social butterfly)

[during the ball ]

[personal profile] so_shik 2010-11-08 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Can you blame him? At least that's all that was said.
