it's halloween, lo-ween, everybody!

Who: Everyone's Invited!
Where: Various decorated carriages!
When: Horseshoe 31.
What: Della is hosting a Halloween party! Come for treats, tricks, and trouble!
Warnings: N/A, will update it needed.

The room is dark…why aren’t the lights on? But as the doors fully open, a voice begins laughing darkly…

… although if you’ve ever heard the voice of Della Duck, you’ll recognize her immediately.

“Boys and girls of every age, wouldn’t you like to see something strange?”

Suddenly there’s a big THUD as someone drops from the ceiling, the lights flash on, and Della herself, dressed as a zombie – ripped apart clothes, fake blood here and there, drawn on scars - wiggles her fingers before laughing joyfully. “Happy Halloween, everybody! Let’s party!”

Tasty Treats

A big buffet table of candy and punch has been laid out! Mini chocolate bars and multi-colored lollipops, gummy worms and candy corn, all sorts of sweet and sour shenanigans, ghost-shaped cookies and mummy-looking muffins! There’s plenty to eat, with absolutely no healthy alternatives.

There are also small wrapped bags of candy with the letters “T.o.T” written on them. If someone tells you, “Trick or Treat!” you have to share your candy! Or keep it to yourself, you monster.

Haunted House

Thanks to Seto Kaiba’s projections, a neighboring carriage has been converted into a Haunted House! While it’s all a trick on the eyes, it gives the illusion that there are several floors of spookiness. Each floor has a different theme –

#1 Serial Seriousness – Every so often, a masked intruder pops out at you, with long claws or chainsaw, ready to give chase! Be careful, or you’ll be the next victim!

#2 Zombie Zaniness – Moans and groans of the undead can’t be unheard. Rotting arms will try to swipe at you through the floorboards!

#3 Ghostly Games – You can see through them, and they can see you too! Each mirror reflects a different dastardly demon!

#4 Deadly Doctors – In this hospital, it’s not the awful health insurance that’ll kill you! Beware the bloody nurses and their extra big needles!\

#5 Fishy Fears - … Wait, what? … Okay, this last floor was clearly designed by Della. It’s like Under the Sea, but with sharks and octopi and kraken - and Della insists this is the worst floor.

Feel free to have your characters braving the house, or trying to scare people within!

Dance Floor

If being haunted isn’t your thing, nothing wrong with getting your groove on! Ask DJ Della what kind of song you’d like to play, and she’s happy to put on the list, from a classic Monster Mash to something more somber and soulful for you slow-dancing-romantic-vampire-types.

Turnip Carving
… Look, they didn’t have pumpkins. Anyway, you’re encouraged to carve scary and silly faces in these veggies! There is a contest, but everyone will be a winner, from “Most Realistic” to “Most Depressing” !

Movie Mania
Kick back and relax – and be horrified – at the otherworldly horror films! Like the horrific monster mime, “That”, the relentless umpire-mask wearing killer, “Monday the 20th”, and the endless array of the undead, “Midmorning Of The Not Wholly Alive”!

Some of you awful people might be thinking of popping up and scaring the theater-goers and this is /winkwinknudgenudge/ totally not approved. /plausible deniability/

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark
In one secluded, quiet, and verrry dark carriage, lit only by candles, here you are encouraged to tell the scariest stories you can think of! What eerie legends will you share from your world, or do you dare to make it up as you go along?

Make your own top-level, and happy haunting!

Also, if your character would like to dress up, costumes are available for this night only!

"Okay so.. everyone else at the table was happily eating, and they all got served what I did. Nad they didn't really use their forks or anything, they just... heir tongues got really long and slurped around it..." she was getting sick to her stomach just remembering. And their started looking weirder and weirder, then the Lord of Soron noticed I wasn't eating, and... um..."

Since the other didn't seem to have any input, Najaran finally finished a small sample plat and handed it over. "Salted caramel goes well with dark chocolate, so you can eat those two together," she said, "And pretzels are super yummy with white chocolate and that orangy thing that tastes a little like pumpkin and nutmeg. so these three can be eaten together."

"That it is," Eva agrees with a smug smile more teeth than anything.

"Have you done the Zombies yet?"

"Yeah, though I didn't do it on my own. I think we made a pretty good team for that," Eva admits once she's caught her breath and no longer laughing as much.

"You doing to continue on or?"

Excellent. He knew there was something he liked about Eva, and that could very well be it. She was a kindred spirit.

"No, I haven't, what's exciting about the zombies?"

He wasn't very easily scared, he figured.

"Huh?"

Inigo didn't quite see it as the challenge that Tidus does - but he does pick up on the fact that the other does see it that way. It's just this typical behaviour from Tidus, seen so often from Inigo by now that he's used to it. The way the other completely perks up like this at the very idea of a challenge.

He himself has to think about it for a moment longer though. Glancing from Tidus's face - close to his now - to the darkness up ahead.

.. could it really hurt to head back there? Maybe they can find some place more interesting than that weird painting gallery..

"Well, as long as my dashing knight will protect me from falling again.."

This close (though it is dark, hard to see even with this close space), Tidus can tell too that Inigo doesn't have the same energy about the idea as he does -- and where's the fun if Inigo isn't up for storming a haunted house as he is? So while Inigo does acquiesce-

"I'll protect you from anything." He lifts his head, turns and points off towards the exit. "--or we can go out and see what else they have going on!"

Whichever they go, Tidus doesn't care. He's sure to have fun regardless.

"Sometimes it doesn't require silly," Gen told her with a little wink. "Sometimes ... I have to be devious-looking."

He bowed, and then put on a scary sort of smile. "Sometimes, people can be distracted by thinking I'm a little crazy, or that I'm more dangerous than I really am."

Gen's expression was bright and charming a moment after. "Especially if I'm doing a magic trick for someone very tough and macho! They don't want to feel like they've fallen for something dumb and silly."

She is very much a fairy-grass type at soul.

He's considering it for another moment. Going back into the haunted house does mean that he won't have to have a whole lot of people see him in this outfit, which is a definite upside..

"Let's go back in." He might still be not quite as spirited as Tidus, but he does seem pretty sure about his decision, nodding as he looks back into the distance. (Is it a distance? It's so hard to tell anything in this weird projection place!) "And if what we find next is just no fun at all, we'll leave and go rob the snacks table instead. How does that sound?"

"Ew! No! Evn I have limits!"

"Albeit not many," Goligan contributed.

She didn't even bother at glare at him. Her eyes were now fixed on the horrible details of that not-so-long ago moment. "Their eyes became like bug eyes. All these gross bug parts started sprouting from the Lord Of Soron's mouth. They all turned to me as they finished, as though I was their next meal. Goligan suggested I draw a card for defense, since they clearly weren't defenseless normal humans. I wouldn't have attacked anyone unless they came after me first. But.... most of my cards were back at the Inn. Then one of them used a Bind card on me. All sorts of thick leather straps all over me and Goligan to keep us still. It was super scary, I thought we were gonna die! The lord of Soron floated close but mostly looked human again. But then his mouth opened."

She swallowed then continued.

His mouth opened and opened and opened. Wider and wider. And another face was pushing out from his throat. It was all gross with two bug eyes and two blank eyes over those. Spotty face, pointy nose. And what looked like way too many huge bug legs on either side of the face, pushing it through the Lord of Soron's mouth...."

"He introduced himself as a Black Cepter, Depthera." She wasn't going to mention the other man headed cane. "Depthera landed and no longer looked like the Lord of Soron. His cronies were crawling around, still looking like weird bug human hybrids. Then the floor started opening to either side of where he was standing, right in front of us! And then something started to reach out of the hole..."

"This isn't cheating if there were no rules to begin with." He says calmly, rotating the turnip one more time, this time counterclockwise. But Bambosh, clearly with a mind of his own, mischievous as he is kind, hears the two teenagers in their complaint and decides to do the last thing Roland wanted him to -

- rebel. With a decisive HIIIIGLE! as loud as he can muster, Bambosh disappears in a flash of light and teleports himself somewhere by the table of uncooked turnips. The tiny one shakes his head at Roland and makes jumpy motions on both legs before going off and...walking around the place like he owns it. Might even decide to trick or treat himself, if any pure-hearted ones come along to see him.

Which leaves Roland dumbfounded and only slightly frustrated, though it shows by just a smidge of his brow dipped in shock, and a sigh through a closed mouth. "Thanks for the help..." He mutters, before he faces the inevitable embarrassment between Tidus and Inigo. Witnesses to the crime.

"All right. Do your worst. I'm going to go back to carving." Which he does, in his defense, now with zero tricks up his sleeve and the turnip barely cooked through the layers such that putting it through fire did nothing for its hardness. Snip, snip, snip!

"Alright then!" A cheery finality to his voice, Tidus accepts the decision, swerving himself back around to the spooky outer mansion awaiting them. Less spooky when you've technically been standing outside it for a while doing nothing and it's at the wrong angle to load fully, but you know.

"One spoooky haunted house. And if it sucks, snacks and fun. That's good enough for me! I wonder if Taiki's somewhere around? We should bring him some back in any case."

He probably wouldn't like all this anyway. Too much noise and fuss for a guy like him.

"Johnny didn't have the best relation with his father." Hell, even when they were introduced he was an asshole.

She paused, eyeing the kettle, before deciding to open up a little. "And I had to be away for months at a time while she was growing up. Both in consideration, I think Johnny thought spoiling her was compensation for both."

And then she would arrive home, try to instill discipline to a child she barely knew, and come off as 'the evil step mother'. "She understands now of course, but it was hard on us both."

[ Gen is welcome to see himself out for that. ]

Fanfiction? Please. Spare me. I barely made time to read the book, I'm not hunting down dumb answers as to why the author couldn't just write a complete story in the first place!

"Yeah, sure, let's go dodge some zombie arms." He smirked and gestured for her to lead the way.

"This is such a strange holiday."

"You can't just ignore it since the evidence of your crime wandered off!"

(Thanks though, Bambosh, you're a real pal for evening out the odds again here.)

Granted, it's not like Inigo had even the slightest idea of what Roland was trying to do. Make the turnip.. warm..? Why, so he can use it as his hug buddy or something? But it really doesn't matter what he was doing, because Inigo knows what happens when Roland brings out Bambosh. It means he's trying to cheat. Somehow. And even if Inigo isn't an active participant here, he still won't have it!

And so for once, Tidus may find Inigo miraculously on his side for once in an argument between the three of them. He even says the blessed words: "You should apologize to Tidus!"
flatteries: (it sort of sounds like you leaving)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-11-19 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then let's look for him after!"

Because Inigo has the same idea as Tidus. Even though Taiki is much more quiet - and maybe, in some ways, actually less easily startled than these dumb, dramatic boys? - a haunted house doesn't seem like the sort of thing he'd enjoy at all.

But he'd like snacks. And company he knows well. Even if he isn't at the party, maybe they can just hang out with him with snacks, like their own little impromptu party--

But before that idea can run away with Inigo, he first wants to prove himself. At least one more time!

(Did bringing up Taiki somehow make him more enthusiastic..? Inigo is a simple boy.)

"But first this! And-- I swear to Naga, this time absolutely nothing is going to catch me off guard! I'll show you I'm the toughest guy around! Surprise? Hah, I don't even know her!"
blitzcheer: (tita bribed me)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-19 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
you're not enthusiastic to go thru a haunted house with ur bro but you will to see taiki at the end of it??? dude?? ingio??

"That's what I like to hear!" But Tidus only needs that whiff of determination to have him going to, powering him up further. Facing the dumb holographs with more vigour than ever before! Giving Inigo a nod and then starting for the way forward. Vampires can't catch this!!

"Here we come, illusions! The boys are back in town!"

And now it's time for Tidus to punch absolutely every piece of jumpscare that TRIES to spook him!!! SPOOK THIS FIST, MORE LIKE.
