it's halloween, lo-ween, everybody!

[sos_pilot]

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!

"Costumes?"

Nerdanel eyes the garish display.

"Not like this. There was the occasional masked ball in Tirion, but ..."

But that is an entirely different concept to... well. Whatever this actually is.

"Oh, Halloween is way better than any ball!" Della said as she began to look around for any fake body parts or illusionary injuries. "You can be as gross or scary or weird as you want!"

[marriedanidiot]

"Why would you be any of those things?" She says, confused.

[sos_pilot]

"Cause it's fun! And Halloween is all about fun! And scares. Fun scares and scary fun!"

[marriedanidiot]

Slow. Blink.

"When did scary things become fun?"

[sos_pilot]

"Since always! Your heart beats faster, adrenaline rushes through your body, and it makes you grateful to be alive! Nothing beats a good scare!"

[marriedanidiot]

Nerdanel just continues to look confused.

"I ... suppose. I confess I simply do not see the point, when there are surely other methods to achieve this."

[sos_pilot]

"Give it a try! I promise you'll have fun!" Della put her hands together, pleading. You can't deny her, can you? "You'll come to the party, right?"

[marriedanidiot]

"Ai, my friend..." Nerdanel shakes her head and smiles.

"Alright, I will come. I might avoid the costumes, though."

[sos_pilot]

Della pouted a little. "... Nooot even a fancy pretty princess dress?"

[marriedanidiot]

Nerdanel laughs softly.

"Well. I still have the courting jewels Feanaro made me... and the dress that our dear spider made. I suppose I could dress for you as I might have done for the Great Ball in Tirion. I don't have quite the right set of jewels for that, but no one excepting my own kin will know."

[sos_pilot]

"Yes, perfect!" Della cheered, pleased that Nerdanel was getting into it. "A beautiful woman in a beautiful dress and beautiful jewels? Who could ask for anything more?"

[marriedanidiot]

She shakes her head, amused.

"So easily pleased, my friend!"

[sos_pilot]

"Hey, what's not to be pleased about? I know what I like."

[marriedanidiot]

She laughs. "So you do, so you do. I assume you are picking something more... garish?"

[sos_pilot]

"Yep! I wanna be the most gruesome, awful thing they've ever seen!" Followed up with a little cackle.

[marriedanidiot]

"Oh dear." She smiles and shakes her head. "Whatever makes you happy, I suppose."

She supposes most folk do not face true monsters, and so have little reason to truly fear them.
