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.)

I don't know. I mean, I'd be pretty tough competition. For myself, that is.

At least you'd keep yourself on your toes?
markofthewise: (Yeah whatever)

[personal profile] markofthewise 2010-11-15 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
There is no greater competition than yourself...

...You know, this might be an interesting idea to test in the Battle Dome.

What, are you planning to try and get the Dome to load up a version of me? [So you can see how you'd last if you ever took advantage of Katara and Sokka had to do something you'd regret?]

[identity profile] violet-veda.livejournal.com 2010-11-17 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Nonsense. a) He'd never think of taking advantage of Katara, and b) Michael wouldn't be regretting anything.]

Myself, actually. Who better to try and out-shoot than one of the best snipers to ever live~?
markofthewise: (Maybe this wasn't such a good idea)

[personal profile] markofthewise 2010-11-17 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds... [Supremely boring. He can't imagine how two people from hundred of meters away trying to shoot each other would be interesting.] interesting.

[It helps when you have a grasp of things like patience and subtlety.] You'd be surprised. Though realistically, it would probably have to be a more up-close-and-personal fight. Two snipers duking it out can take days to see a resolution.
markofthewise: (You tell me)

[personal profile] markofthewise 2010-11-17 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Sokka has those! He knows enough about tactics to realize how time consuming that would be, opposed to a straight fight.] Yeah and while this place isn't the most interesting place around, I can think of a better way to spend a few days.

[When it's just one on one, sure. But when you've got two armies with high-value targets who's death would mean a big shift in the course of the war? invaluable~]

Wouldn't work anyway. The simulations time out after about an hour or so.
markofthewise: (Really?)

[personal profile] markofthewise 2010-11-17 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh yeah, he forgot about that part.]

That would make it pretty hard, huh?

[identity profile] violet-veda.livejournal.com 2010-11-17 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. First time I tried to use it to set myself up a stalking scenario, I made it about fifty yards... only halfway to a decent firing spot.
markofthewise: (Chin scratcher)

[personal profile] markofthewise 2010-11-17 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you're better off just sticking to target practice, then.

[identity profile] violet-veda.livejournal.com 2010-11-17 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I've been doing, for the most part. At least I know I can still hit my mark almost every time.
