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.)

Halloween's the day people traditionally dress in costumes, yes? I'd assume the same thing.

Speaking of, does your world celebrate this day?

Dressed in costumes, having parties and the children doing trick or treating for candies.

Yeah, we do. Though my country doesn't celebrate it as much as the others.

Still, it must be fun making rounds in the area for sweets and socializing with others on the streets. Do you enjoy it, Kouki? [ Pause. ] When it's not as extreme as this, of course.

I do, it's a lot of fun doing those things with my friends and family. [Pause, then smile.] Obviously not as bad as this.

ffff

Good for you and your friends and family. [ There's a short chuckle. ] It looks like Luceti has the habit of exaggerating.

ahahaha...ha...

Seems like it. I wonder if Luceti even celebrate holidays 'normally'.

/thumbs up! Research is good.

Now that's something to look forward to, should that day ever come.
