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.)

[She nods, peering at the selection.]

What have you tried? Does it all seem normal?

[Still remembering that fountain during V-Day.]

I had the cookies. They're not bad. The pie is great.

[He holds out a cupcake for her.] These are great.

[Oooh, cupcake. Terra can't resist. She smiles and takes it.]

Thank you...and I'm glad to hear that. Sometimes, I'm not sure whether or not to trust what they give us.

[personal profile] bamfing 2010-11-02 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait, what?]

... you think there could be something wrong with them?

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Oops. Terra now looks guilty, wondering if she should have said anything]

Er...well, if you've already that plenty and nothing's happened, then I doubt it.

[personal profile] bamfing 2010-11-02 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
But.. why would they want to trick us with food!?

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Awkward.]

...they sort of did it before, though it was drink and not food. But like I said, I must be wrong this time.

[personal profile] bamfing 2010-11-02 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well that's good. [He regards the cupcakes warily in any case.] What did the drink do?

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Terra blushes.]

It made people very...affectionate.

[personal profile] bamfing 2010-11-02 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Like he can just let this go.]

Yeah? How affectionate?

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well...I, um, got hugged a lot.

[Mumbles something about kisses.]

[personal profile] bamfing 2010-11-03 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
What's wrong with being hugged?

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
...by complete strangers?

[Yeah, not something Terra's used to at all.]

[personal profile] bamfing 2010-11-03 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
... okay, yeah. That would be pretty weird.

[He's totally with you on that one.]

[identity profile] esper-flight.livejournal.com 2010-11-03 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
It was more than that, too, but...luckily, none of that happened to me.

[Slight shudder.]

[personal profile] bamfing 2010-11-03 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that would be awkward. [Not as awkward as, say, showing up in someone's bath tub. But hey.]
