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!

"It's basically like Zangetsu, except his whole body changes instead of just the sword." Ichigo piped up as he walked over, wearing his full mask. He looked over at Grimmjow and would have arched an eyebrow if his mask was capable of it. "I'm surprised you're not in your released form, it'd be perfect for the party. Or are you worried about getting your tail pulled?"

[sos_pilot]

"Ichigo!" Della cheered, happy to see him. "You made it! Glad you could come!"

She then pointed at both boys, trying to make sure she had this correct. "Same world, right?"

[kingcat]

Grimmjow could feel Ichigo coming, so it's not his presence that's startling. It's not even what he says. Grimmjow is totally, completely relaxed until he turns to look at Ichigo, mouth open to say something.

The space is too cramped for Sonido, but his sword is already out and in his hand and instinct takes over. He doesn't even think, he just moves, focusing his reiatsu as he swings his blade right at Ichigo's face, his own expression somewhere between startled and terrified.

[strawberryprotector]

"Holy fuck!" Ichigo lept back with shunpo out of instinct, bringing the short blade off his hip to parry since that was faster. "Calm the fuck down, will you?!"

[sos_pilot]

And Della... applauds!

"Oh, that was a perfect scare!" Clap clap clap! "See, you're getting into it already! I love it!" She is, momentarily, oblivious to the ACTUAL danger they're in.

[kingcat]

"Don't tell me to calm the fuck down," Grimmjow snapped, pointing his sword at Ichigo, "when you sneak up on me with a fucking Vasto Lorde mask on!" he snapped, his reiatsu already decreasing again. "Don't be so stupid!"

Was he breathing heavily? Yes. Would he ever admit to being scared half to death? Never.

[strawberryprotector]

Ichigo pouted a little, the horns on his mask dipping. "It's Halloween. Zangetsu was excited for me to use his mask for the party."

[sos_pilot]

... Now things seemed a little tense, and Della lowered her hands while raising her eyebrows.

"Uh. Everything okay here?"

[kingcat]

"Everything's fine," Grimmjow was almost pouting, too, sheathing his blade with a huff. "I ain't had those horns pointed at me before, is all," and he knew what they could do. Just the idea had a shiver going down his spine.

But that did bring up a more important question. "The fuck is a Halloween anyway?" he demanded, looking between them.

[strawberryprotector]

"It's originally a European holiday that's been commercialized around the world. People dress up in costumes, kids go around to houses and get candy. Adults party." Ichigo shrugged and the mouth of his mask moved as he spoke. "Speaking of a party, this looks like a good one, Della."

[sos_pilot]

Well, if they said things were okay... Della shrugged it off, getting back into the groove.

"Don't forget all the scares! I've got a haunted house, scary story telling, AND scary movies all lined up!"

[kingcat]

Party. He snorted softly, turning his attention back to Della. "Haunted house?" He asked, a grin sliding right back onto his face. "Where?"

He may or may not be mistaking a haunted house for a hollow buffet.
