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.)

[Ayumu watches Okita closely as he straightens, offering him a small, slightly relieved smile as he pulls off the mask. That's good to see. She glances up at Susumu with a small nod in thanks for his help, then around at the rest of the tent.]

The plaza. Or it should be. This tent just... appeared, earlier.

[Ah, good, it looks like it's affecting even Okita. Susumu is able to relax a little, though it's not exactly noticeable. He dislikes parties; they're not a fitting place for a ninja. However, staying within the protective shield of the tent was ideal. He didn't like how it conveniently brought everyone to one place, though...]

We should be cautious. It could be a trap.

[The plaza. A tent. Okita nods and then looks around for a moment, then back to the entrance. There were still others of their group out there so even if this was a trap, it was the only way they'd be able to think clearly.]

...Even so, Hijikata-san and Nagakura-san should be retrieved.

Very possibly.

[She agrees, but still didn't hesitate to bring people in. If it is a trap they can at least be aware of that and act accordingly.

Ayumu frowns and glances over at Susumu again.]


He's right.

[And she's not about to let Okita back out into that, not after the way he'd reacted before. Looks like it'll be up to them again.]

[Susumu ducks his head slightly in response. They can't leave their comrades on their own in this kind of situation.]

I can retrieve them.

[He nods, smiling a little bit apologetically.]

Be quick. Remove Nagakura-san's weapons from him before you move him.

[There are two left at the house and only one of Susumu; Ayumu is concerned for Okita, certainly, but he seems much improved. If anything does happen while they're gone he should be able to take care of himself, and hopefully they won't be gone long anyway.]

I'll help. Faster that way.

[identity profile] meshninja.livejournal.com 2010-11-06 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Susumu pauses, glancing over at Okita for a moment.]

...Okita-san. I trust you won't leave this place while we're gone.

[And he probably won't, but... well. It's Okita, you have to make sure about these things. He nods to Ayumu, though, and heads out. While he's uncomfortable about making her experience those hallucinations again, arguing is a waste of time and the sooner they all return to the tent (Nagakura and Hijikata included), the better.]

[He just smiles.]

I don't think I'm able to, Yamazaki-san.

[Not that he doesn't want to try. He doesn't want to leave them out there. He wants to be with Ayumu and Susumu helping his friends. But he'd be a hindrance and he knows it.]

I'll watch the area here.
