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.)

A couple months I guess. You?

A couple of months.

No one can seem to agree on whether this is typical of the place or not.
doubleppk: (Mm)

From all sounds of it the Malnosso purposely keep it free of pattern. Which makes them smart evil scientists at least.

[Strangely, the woman seems to know what she's talking about on a being kidnapped en masse by mad evil scientists.]

[It's the additional adjective that gets Giles' attention]

You've met many evil scientists, then? [Asked without the slightest trace of sarcasm. He's not going to be surprised by anything tonight.]

Too many. [Just sighs wearily with resignation when she says it.]

Cheers. [Joins in with the resigned sigh] Not with the evil scientists, you understand. I've seen a few of those, but...mostly on general principle.

Heh. High end lifestyle?

Hardly. Just an unfortunate home town.

I see. Sounds stressful.
