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.)

omg I laughed so hard. Also, why is this girl not on your CR post yet?! XD

[That... that is her leg. But he's going to get offended and hate her if she really freaks out. Somehow, thanks to that fear, Ami manages to stay composed although she very firmly tries to move Jack's hand away before she answers.]

My leg.
all7seas: (me? Never!)

GOOD THING BOTH HIS HANDS WEREN'T FREE, AMI! And it's because I've been busy, but she will. XD

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-10-31 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack allows her to remove his offending touch, grabbing her hand instead as she does so.]

It's lovely, really.

I love these two like you wouldn't believe.

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
The... leg?

[Awkward. Awkward. Awkward. She doesn't think to pull away her hand right away, though. If only she actually knew what to say or do in this sort of situation!]
all7seas: (stars seem to lose their place)

XD I feel bad for Ami because of his sleaziness

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-10-31 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack brings that hand to his lips. Of course, since his face is covered, he brings that hand to the warm bit of cloth covering his lips. It's so hard to be romantical when you're under a bloody bleeding buggered bedsheet.]

Aye. Come sit by me, lovely.

Pft, he isn't hurting anything. And she probably secretly likes it.

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ok, her blush is now deep enough to be considered bottomless. It's quite the shade of red, too.]

Is it alright if I do?

[...Will he let go of her hand if she does?]
all7seas: (I like you)

OH SURE THAT'S HOW IT STARTS OUT XD

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-10-31 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Instead of answering he tries to tug her down. It has been a long time since he's been around a woman innocent enough to witness that color of blush.]

Be glad she's not Darkury anymore. She'd slap him. Hard.

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Blink blink. Ami finds herself sitting beside Jack. The floor is suddenly fascinating.]
all7seas: (so what are you proposing?)

Last tag for now, I have to run to work. 0/

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-10-31 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[And his arm is around her, too, jeweled fingers settling firmly against her, while beneath the sheet he is busy trying to get punch into his mouth. The experience for Ami might be something like getting tangled up in the bedsheets in the morning.]

I love parties.
Edited 2010-10-31 12:39 (UTC)

aww; i'm sleeping soon anyway. NANO STARTS when i get up, so i may be slow but will be tagging <33

[More importantly than feeling a bit stuck...]

Sparrow-san, I don't think it's good to act that close right away.

[Notice how stiff she is? Like a board? Or a really nervous corpse?]
all7seas: (salute to the fallen)

Gah good luck with that!

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-10-31 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[This clearly means Ami has not yet had enough punch.]

Clearly, Ami lass, you have not yet had enough punch. [He somehow gets his goblet out from under the sheet and raises it.] A toast! To being alive!
Edited 2010-10-31 15:18 (UTC)

thanks! <3 we'll see how it goes

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[She echoes the toast, though she gives the 'punch' a suspicious look now; it isn't alcoholic, is it?]

To being alive.

[Hers comes out much quieter and calmer]
all7seas: (but you have heard of me)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-10-31 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[If Goroh really HAS been pouring whiskey into the punch? It's alcoholic. Jack takes a nice long drink, still holding her firmly..]


[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, dear. She really needs to get away, and Jack doesn't seem to be listening to her. She screws her courage to the sticking point and sets her face in a determined expression.]

Please let go.
all7seas: (keep telling yourself that darling)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He lifts his arm and releases her, giving her a little bow as he does so.] As you wish, darling.

sorry, Jack; it's not you, it's her.

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
I know that you're just teasing me, but, I feel kind of nervous about it somehow.
all7seas: (forgot my shirt at the water's edge)

It's never his fault.

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
That might be the ghostly shroud what's making you skittishish. Perhaps next time we meet we'll have it off.

....

The sheet, I mean.

Of course not.

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't think that's the reason.
all7seas: (convincing you)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Darling, you don't need to say another word. Why back home, the very name of Jack Sparrow has the effect of frightening the wenches.

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
I see. So you must chase a lot of girls back there.
all7seas: (Erm...)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. A bit. Or.

Actually, it's often the other way round. [And they're chasing him to either slap him or somehow get revenge for the ways he's wronged them. They should probably form a club or support group or something.]

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Ami, predictably, entirely misunderstands.]

You must be very popular.
all7seas: (cruel is a matter of perspective)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
In a manner of speaking...yes. [He tries to shake himself out of this subject.] Come, now--have you ever danced with a man in a sheet before? I hear it's exciting.

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Ami shakes her head, far more solemnly than the question really warrants.]

I haven't. I don't really know how to dance.
all7seas: (persuade me)

[personal profile] all7seas 2010-11-01 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[The pirate gets to his feet and takes her hand.] What sort of mysterious sheeted man would I be if I didn't at least make the attempt to show you, eh?

[identity profile] no-use-running.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try, if you want; but you'll have to teach me.
