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.)

Well I thought you'd have at least one redeeming characteristic, didn't I? Bloody useless, you.

I'll admit, the floating is a bit...disconcerting. Though one does get used to it, eh? I've been able to frighten a few folks. Haunted one of the houses for a bit today, though that got boring.

...actually that sounds kind of funny. That's what Halloween's all about anyway. When'd you start floating and disappearing?

Just this morning, when I awakened four feet above my bed.

Wait, then how'd you get down?
all7seas: (ewwww)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-04 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
....The hard way, unfortunately.

[identity profile] goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...tell me you landed on the bed at least. Otherwise, ow.

Difficulties were...overcome. Gravity was not.

[identity profile] goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
I still think it's kind of funny. Sorry man.
all7seas: (...one of you succeeded)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-05 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's sort of a growl at this, but Jack lets it slide.]

And how's this marvelous "plan" of yours ticking along, then?

[identity profile] goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm working on it. Don't even worry about it. [Good jab, Jack.]
all7seas: (sideways mischief)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-05 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm not worried in the slightest, boyo. Just wanted to be sure your little crabby brain weren't too overtaxed in the planning of said project.

[identity profile] goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com 2010-11-06 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...that better not have been a way of calling me dumb.

[identity profile] goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com 2010-11-06 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...oh just shut up. [Not. Funny.]
all7seas: (lol)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-07 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[So funny.]

No, no---see here, you're a very intelligent lad, Taichi. It's pure curiosity what leads me to ask about this infamous plan of yours.

[identity profile] goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com 2010-11-07 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well I mean...it's an awesome plan. You'll be jealous when you hear about it, really! [Yes, Taichi, which is exactly why you're stalling and not mentioning said-plan.]
all7seas: (smile)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-07 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
No doubt I will. Do you know what happens when a pirate becomes jealous, Taichi?

[Does that sheet look...rather ominous all of a sudden?]

[identity profile] goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com 2010-11-07 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...no? What happens when a pirate becomes jealous? [He has an idea of what happens though, and let me tell you, he's not too happy about it.]
all7seas: (a LOT mad)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-07 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Unsavory things, lad. Terribly unsavory things.

[identity profile] goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com 2010-11-08 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
...no way. I bet you're making that up just to freak me out! [Which is starting to work, by the way.]
all7seas: (what interest is she to you?)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-08 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[A laugh.] That's what you'll find about all the old stories, lad. No truth at all.

Just a bunch of myths and old pirate tales?
