Nightmare Night, What a Fright...

[canterlock]

Who: All Ye Villagers
What: Nightmare Night Festival
When: This 31st Night of October
Where: In the Village and Surrounding Forest
Summary: Princess Luna and her minions friends put together a Nightmare Night festival for any and all villagers to enjoy. (Just remember to leave an offering of candy...unless you want the evil spirit to come gobble you whole!)
Rating: F for Fun!

Despite a fanciful (if raucous) few nights of ghostly partying, Luna is never one to be outdone. Thus, as proclaimed, when the night of the 31st rolls around, decorations have been switched from warm harvest hues to eerie purples and greens and blues. Here and there are other signs that this isn't entirely your standard Halloween party. Amongst the pumpkins, bats and other creepy-crawlies, stars are prominent, as well as what might be unicorn heads peeking out of crescent moons, and a liberal collection of large, slitted eyes plastered onto any allowable surface. Around the central portion of the village, leftover debris has been pushed off to the edges of the pathway to make room for a lantern-lit row of games and vendors. As well as a hoof-painted sign "HAUNTED TRAIL. LINE BEGINS HERE" and a second tacked on below it "BEWARE NIGHT MARE MOON".

So come forth, old ones and young ones alike. It's time to join together in fun!

[[OOC: Feel free to start up threads of your own! As many as you like, go crazy, quadruple the fun! IC explanation is here, as well as the OOC info post from before. Luna's midnight illusionary theater will be handled via manymoonsago.]]

More than you'd expect at this pony place, anyway.

[She rocks with him, whatever]

[emp3thy]

You really have a problem with ponies...

[it's prejudice, Haruhi, that's not very nice...]

[godbent]

That stupid pink one cheats, okay!

[emp3thy]

Cheats, how?

[godbent]

Cheats because she can magic up party equipment from nowhere! I swear, she has party-based superpowers!

[emp3thy]

And you have opposable thumbs.

[godbent]

I've seen those ponies turn doorknobs. Somehow.

[emp3thy]

You also have the Brigade.

[godbent]

Shut up, she's still cheating! [But the song has wound down pretty much]

[emp3thy]

Fair enough.

[The song has wound down, and the hands on his watch are just about at midnight. He's not looking at his wrist, though; rather, at the indignant expression on her face with just the barest hint of amusement.]

But did you have fun anyway?

1/2

[godbent]

Yeah, well... a little, anyway.

[godbent]

[Okay internal clock timer. Five, four... three... and then as it gets closer an idea strikes her, and despite the impulsiveness of it, she decides to run with it. Lean up on tip toe, pull him down by the collar and and kiss him right as it's about Midnight]

[emp3thy]

[For the first second, he's completely paralyzed. Being around Haruhi, he's had to learn to anticipate the unexpected to some extent, but this is still not the finale he was expecting to get.

But then his brain kicks in and he realizes that, regardless of her actions, this could be the only chance he has to kiss her for a very long time. And so he kisses back. She may have started this, but it will end on his own terms.]

[godbent]

[Wow, this is not yours to control, you bum. But... she'll let it linger for a while before, finally, she pulls back from it. There we go. Take that! ...She's a little flushed but whatever]

[emp3thy]

[He can be proactive, all right? It's boring to always be passive. And since she's making this a competition, he won't be too boring if he can prevent it.

When she pulls back, he keeps holding her closely, not caring if any of the other people dancing around them have noticed what just happened.]</small. Well?

[godbent]

Well, then that's the end of the night. [Flushed, just a little, she rocks in the embrace before twirling on out of it to head out and leave. Yep.

But she's smiling some]

[emp3thy]

[He's okay with it being the end of the night, but her exit is a bit too abrupt. He takes a few steps to follow her.]

Wait, Haruhi - I'll walk you home.

[of course, maybe it's already too late for her to hear him.]

[godbent]

[Yeah, no, she scurried off at that. She heard him, but she's not really got much intention to stop. She decides not to flounce on him though, instead turning and grinning to say:]

Pass!

[emp3thy]

Your test, or walking home?

[godbent]

You figure it out. [And then she turns to go on and leave. Woo]
