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.)

[At least for him, it's only one. :|]

Let me see it. If there's a wound, it might need to be bandaged.

[Hey, it was TWO okay? XD]

They're a might...tender, at the moment. [He hesitates, but then turns about. The wings protrude from two holes in the costume's shoulder area.]

Where was it from?

[Ami takes a close look for any telltale blood or mangling]
all7seas: (resolved)

[Two of the primary feathers on the left wing are missing; there is only a little blood. The doctor did his work cleanly, it would seem.]

The long bits, back there. Look, since you're doing mine I'll do yours. Only fair. Turn and turn about.

It seems alright. There doesn't seem to be too much damage. Just be careful for awhile.

[Ami turns around obediently.]
all7seas: (hmmmm....)

[Jack inspects the black feathers, so like his own, one hand hovering over them but not quite touching.]

Well, seems he's snatched a few...

Have you ever seen a feather on the ground? I wonder if it hurts the birds like this hurts.
all7seas: (dogwatch)

Never did give much thought to the likes and dislikes of birds, though I knew a very cunning parrot once. [Uh oh--this is not good. The rum is almost gone.]

They say parrots are very intelligent...
all7seas: (it is pronounced "egregious")

They're very good listeners, savvy? Got to be careful what you say around 'em.
