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.)

Yes, "festive" is one word.

But if we're going back to festive after these last few days, I'm certainly not complaining.

[Oh, this isn't good. If he's settling in for a conversation, he's not sure how long he can keep up the disguise.]

Of course. One would have to be quite selfish to complain about this.

[Giles tries not to wince. "Selfish". Great. Had Okita told her what had happened last night?]

Granted, unknown tents springing up in the middle of the night are more than a little suspicious. In my opinion, at least.

[Ninjas know all, Giles. except not really]

We can enjoy ourselves while still being on our guard, I think. No reason to spoil everyone's fun by worrying too much.

No, I suppose not.

And I can't imagine they would summon up a tent that looks like it could fit the whole village if they didn't expect us to use it.

Certainly not. There must be some benefit to it being there, for them as well as for us.

Are you planning on investigating?

Perhaps after the evening meal.

Yes, I'll probably go later, as well. Can't be worse than anything else they've done this week.

...but I should know better than to say things like that.

It would probably be wise to reconsider the way you say things, yes. But perhaps we'll be alright.

How is Okita-san?

[A heavy question, that.]

...He's handling this as well as he can. [And by that he means he's locked in his room and won't come out.]

[A heavy question, indeed]

I'll be getting out of your hair.

I-If you could just, um, t-tell him thanks again for last night.

I'll certainly do that. Will you be staying for dinner? [And should he be finding Ayumu and wrestling an answer about just who the heck this guy is...]

No. Very kind of you to offer, um, but n-no.

[Phew. He turns to face the man, bowing slightly.] Then take care. It was good to see you.

[Giles returns the bow. After everything that's happened, the least he can do is be polite.]

You as well, Ayumu-san. I just wish it could have been under better circumstances.

[Susumu responds with a somewhat secretive smile and turns back to the food he'd been preparing. This costume business is making things quite awkward, that's for sure.

Still, at least Ayumu seems to have some good friends here.]

[And, after a few seconds mental preparation, Giles leaves the house without another word. By now, with a decent night's sleep to work with, facing the hallucinations has become easier than staying.]
