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.)

It's close enough!
notabluesbro: ([Vash] Your ass = kicking it.)

BETTER THAN SAVING A DEMONIC KILLER FROM CERTAIN DEATH!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, YOU IDIOT?!
goldenglasses: (Aw... crap.)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2010-11-02 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well... you know... it was an unfair fight and he needed a hand.
notabluesbro: ([Angry] MOTHERFUCKER I WILL BREAK YOU)

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-02 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Needed a hand?! Needed a hand?! LAST I CHECKED, HE TRIED TO SPEAR MINE! How about you stick to your 'not killing' thing but let others beat the shit out of someone who deserves it?!
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Grrrrr! *snarl*)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2010-11-02 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
But I couldn't just sit there! To just sit there and do nothing is almost the same thing as killing him myself!
notabluesbro: ([serious] You're making a big mistake...)

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-02 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Almost—but it's not! What would all the people that monster's killed back in his world think, hearing some love and peace gunman saved his life?

[Vash looks away. Considering afterwords he had found out Yuber had killed the man trying to kill him. Yeah, he has an idea about that. He's just going to sit quietly and pout.]
notabluesbro: ([Headache] I have one.)

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-02 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Damn you and your pouting.


...

...]


...I really fell asleep?
goldenglasses: (And that one looks like a bunny!)

It's been a long week.
notabluesbro: ([Serious] Here I am.)

[It suddenly occurs to him that he was more than happy to have had this argument—for a while, they hadn't had one. Not with all this stuff going on. That meant things were finally about to go back to normal, didn't it? At least, they could go outside without seeing these images, come tomorrow.

He pushes up on his glasses, tired eyes looking out at the crowds of people. He slowly draws out a cigarette, looks at it for a moment, and then clasps it away in one hand.]


...Yeah.

[Vash stands.] I'm going to try to wash this stuff off. I saw some food over there if you're hungry.
notabluesbro: ([Curious] You're not serious... are you?)

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-02 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Aaha, and he puts one finger up, ready to make a point—]

I'd rather drink as much as possible until I can't see my own feet, actually.

Well, I'm not dragging you home. You better hope Meryl takes pity on you.

[Facepalm, as he rises to his feet.]

You're awfully cruel, you know—

[Ack! He staggers forward after something... pinches at his wings. Typically hidden under that big coat he gave to Xion, but now quite exposed and down one or two feathers... Perhaps from that figure that was there just a second ago.

Whatever the case, he suddenly feels a little sick from the heat radiating off his wing.]


What the hell...?

[Vash's eyes narrow. There had been a quick blur that had run behind Wolfwood. He goes tense and his eyes dart around the room. Who was it? There are so many masks and people in this tent that it's hard to narrow it down.]

Are you alright?
notabluesbro: ([Angry] This is just shitty.)

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-02 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He forces himself upright, paling a little. A moment of feeling sick to his stomach, before he's recovered well-enough so that all that's left if a sensation of light-headedness.]

I'm all right.

...Something messed with these crappy wings.
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Serious eyes are serious)

This is totally me sleeping

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2010-11-02 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I know, whoever it is moves quick. I didn't get a good look. [Vash's eyes keep darting around from person to person. Waiting for one to disappear or to suddenly have feathers held in their hands.]
notabluesbro: ([Serious] Glinty glasses.)

YEAH SURE YOU ARE >:^U /punts!!

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-02 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
That quick, huh?

[He looks around, himself, but they all seem like familiar faces without a trace of ill-will. He catches the sight of a bird beak in the crowd and finds it foreign. Of course, its gone in an instant among the mesh of people.

He rubs numbly at the base of one black wing, frowning.]


... Did it have a white blur for a face...?

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2010-11-02 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vash's eyes scan the room, pegging those he doesn't know with white masks on. Bird beak having already melded into the crowd, Vash doesn't spot him.] It could have, it was quick and unexpected, I didn't get a good look.
notabluesbro: ([Serious] about lung cancer.)

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-03 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Shit. [The unpleasant aching persists.] Don't suppose he's got an special agenda with the wings, do you?
goldenglasses: (What-a-what?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2010-11-03 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Besides that they're basically a weakness? If they get damaged they can make you feel ill, lose one you're basically paralyzed until it grows back, lose both and... well... it kills you.
notabluesbro: ([Angry] Glowering at its finest.)

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-04 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, he's been told losing them kills you, but getting sick from a good plucking sounds so very fun. B|]

Great, great. After all the shit they pull this week, someone's trying to make it even better. Fantastic.

We'll have to be careful. Try to find who's doing it before they can hurt anyone else.
notabluesbro: ([Worried] That's not a flesh wound.)

[personal profile] notabluesbro 2010-11-05 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Huff.]

It's gonna be a long night...

[And my legs are killing me. :|]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Ideas forming! And that is never good!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2010-11-05 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I've got your back. [Of course, that smirk says he knows he didn't need to say it, just that if felt good to again.]
