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!

Trick or Treat

[ So here she stands in front of the table of candies and... ]

Is this actually food or is this a joke? [ she asks suspiciously, turning to the woman standing next to her, holding up one of the gummy worms for her inspection. Personally, she would bet on joke. ]

Belatedly tagging in oops--

[runicfeathers]

[Willow is dumbfounded at all the sweets and what look to be candies, none that she ever has seen before. Those worm-like candies are the ones she's the most confused about.]

I have not seen such a thing before, it must be some kind of joke! Who would dare to make something to look like a worm?

Re: Belatedly tagging in oops--

[radishlobbyist]

I don't know! Why would anyone?

[ Honestly, she is a little bit aghast, even though she is also a little - grossly - fascinated as she pokes at the gummy worm with a finger. ]

I have no idea why you would ruin good food by making it look inedible. I know I'm not going to risk eating that. It must be prank food.

[runicfeathers]

I do not know! I certainly would not!

[She gives a shudder as the gummy worm is poked, unable to comprehend just why anyone would find them appealing.]

Honestly! If you want something like candies, make them look edible and not... Something that looks like a creature from the dirt! I bet they made them taste like the dirt as well, how horrible.

[radishlobbyist]

I hadn't even thought of that. They do look like something that would taste of dirt.

[ She brings one of the gummy worms to her nose for a careful sniff. ]

Smells sweet, actually, of sugar and some kind of fruit flavor, though I can't say what exactly. But I'm still not going to eat it.

[runicfeathers]

They smell sweet? What magic could do this?

[though yes she knew cooking and baking could create sweets from bitter things, but the worms just seem so strange as she lifts one herself to sniff it and find it was indeed sweet smelling.]

I would not trust it, even though it smells sweet... Just because it smells sweet doesn't mean it tastes it. People are strange to eat them as if they're normal!
