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.)

[Caesar looks over at Rise when he hears her voice. The greeting might have been a bit more embarrassing if she hadn't already seen him in his costume. Rise was also noticeably less cheerful tonight, so it made greeting her in his usual manner much, much easier.]

Good evening. Uh... Holding up okay?

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-01 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Well enough, I guess.

[She nods as she says this, but her expression doesn't change. How would she tell someone that the TV seemed to be misbehaving- and not in the normal sense too?]

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Good to know. [He nods. She seemed to have something else on her mind, but he won't bother to ask. If she wanted to talk about it, that was up to her.]

[I'm sorry, but a makeup session doesn't count as a S. Link auto-up. :(]

How about you?

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-01 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[You say that like it's a bad thing!]

I'm all right. I don't have it half as bad as some of the other people here, I suppose.
analyzing: (Uwahh)

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-02 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe. Maybe not.]

That's good to hear. It's been getting worse for a lot of people lately.

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[It really isn't. He nods.]

I must be one of the lucky ones. Have they gotten worse for you?
analyzing: (Unamused)

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-02 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not a bad thing that makeup sessions aren't auto-up for S. Links? 'A'? 'v'?]

A little. It's not as bad as the other day, just... [She trails off, searching for the correct word to use.] A little more disturbing.

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't want that kind of S. Link! :<]

Disturbing sounds right. I would hate to have a truly active imagination right now. [That's supposed to be a joke, I promise.]

[But the Persona that you get for maxing it out has Mediarahan and Spell Master... :(

She laughs rather weakly though. That was not funny, man.]


Yeah? It'd be nice if that's all that makes the difference.

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[But Caesar has no use for this Persona! :'(

He sighs a little.]


I'd have to agree. But I guess all we can do is hope the effects of all of this will fade soon.
analyzing: (Smile)

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-03 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[But. Mediarahan and Spell Master. How could you not want an awesome healing spell. :(]

Yeah...and hopefully without any more strange side effects. Someone lectured me the other day about not getting checked after what happened.

[shiver] This place already gives me the creeps, though.

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-04 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He can't do anything with it. :|]

They were only bruises, I suppose. [If it weren't for living with a healer, Caesar wouldn't have bothered getting checked out unless it prevented him from going about as he usually did. It wasn't exactly urgent.]

The tent? Last year's ball was a little nicer. [...] Well, nicer in that it was held in something of a ballroom rather than a tent.
analyzing: (Smile)

1/2 I can spam you all I want since we finished a thread earlier, huhu.

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-04 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, gee, you'd best start learning how to use magic then. :|]

That's what I told them. I'm still alive till now so it probably isn't anything too serious anyway.
analyzing: (Down)

Since y'know. Spam is delicious.

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-04 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
[She chuckles, though the mirth does seem rather lacking.]

The tent's part of it, I guess. Though, honestly? I don't think I've ever been at a party where they had blood coming out of the fountain.

There's tacky and there's...creepy.

You can spam if you want to~ You can leave your friends behind~

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[...how do you just learn to use a persona. :|]

I don't think it's blood. Not real blood. [He tilts his head. Had it been that way last year, too...? Ah, he doesn't remember. He hated things like this anyway.]
analyzing: (Wince)

Spam spam delicious spam

[An evoker helps. It'd be kinda horrifying if Caesar's Shadow was his AU self though.]

I'd hope not. There are people drinking that stuff.
Edited 2010-11-05 02:27 (UTC)

The best kind of spam!

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-05 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't be silly, he'd be the best Shadow ever. \o/]

I'm not sure why. With the way things have been here lately, the last thing I'd want to do is drink something they're providing for us in a creepy tent.
analyzing: (What.)

You mean there are other kinds of spam? :O

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-05 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
[...don't you suddenly wish we had a Shadow event for those repressed characters out there.]

No kidding. Maybe they got thirsty...if you spend all day in here, it's not surprising if you're getting a bit parched, I guess.

There is the not-delicious kind? I... guess? :|a

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-06 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[I would put so much thought into his Shadow you'd think it existed in canon!]

Still seems a little too risky to me. But it's much better to be stuck in here than out there, I guess.
analyzing: (Down)

Are there non-delicious ones? 'A'

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-06 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[We should do this some day. B)]

Still. What kind of captors throw a party for their captives? It's like the whole place just screams "Trap!" and we-

[She breaks off as there is a twinge of pain behind her. Her wings flutter slightly in the light breeze.]

I sure hope not! ._.

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-06 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
[...I would have to agree! :>

Caesar gives her a look, not bothering to respond to what she just said.]


Something the matter?
analyzing: (Whoa what.)

I suppose moldy spam WOULD taste terrible, though.

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-06 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is a plan. \o\

She glances to her back- there is a parting in the crowd, so it couldn't be anyone having bumped into her. Strange. And that was that sensation of pain...]


No, I thought I felt something but I must've just...never mind.

Ewww. :<

[identity profile] mydearapple.livejournal.com 2010-11-07 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[He considers this as well and shakes his head.]

Imagined it? [But was anyone hallucinating in here anymore? He knew that he wasn't, and his brother wasn't, but...] Perhaps it was nothing.
analyzing: (Whoa what.)

See? It would!

[personal profile] analyzing 2010-11-08 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe.

[She reaches a hand to gingerly touch her right wing lightly though- the feather that had been taken was further from her shoulder and she can't really see it unless she spreads them. Still, it hurts though not as intensely as before...]
