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!

"Hey, call it what you want," he said with a grin. "Though if you could have made it wave hello, it would have counted for sure. On the other hand, pretty sure some people frown on card counting where as he seems to be smiling."

[fun_thementalist]

Make it wave hello? Gen laughed, sheepishly, and gave the stranger a bemused look. "While I'm certain there's those on the train who can do that, my tricks are the old-fashioned kind, slight of hand and clever ways to fool your mind."

"Sadly, I haven't yet learned magic here," Gen sighed wistfully, "so I can't make the pictures move. As cool as that might be!"

Since he didn't seem interested in the tricks, Gen started to shuffle and organize the cards back into their respective stacks.

[death_from_above]

"What about a super thin LCD screen made to look like a card? No magic needed. Just trickery."

[fun_thementalist]

"I am a fan of trickery!" Gen agreed, thinking about that. "If you can find someone here that's from a world where they could get LCD panels with their battery thingy that small, I really want to meet them."

He grinned. "I don't really understand technology that well, but I think it's just neat."

[death_from_above]

"Bet there are lotsa people who could, just ask on the network. Just be careful when you type it not to trip and type LSD instead...."

[fun_thementalist]

Gen laughed, bemused. "I'm pretty sure after that storm, we're all sick of seeing things that aren't really there. I'll be very, very careful not to make that kind of typo."

[death_from_above]

"Yeah that would be a serious typ-uh-oh."

[fun_thementalist]

A soft snort from the pun, and Gen shook his head with a smile. "So. What of you, my friend? Is magic like mine, in your home reality - or do you happen to have the real thing?"

[death_from_above]

He chuckled a bit. "I thought I toad you. We've got both. Mimes too, if you don't mime my saying so. We've even got our own super heroes."

[fun_thementalist]

"Real life superheroes," Gen said, eyebrows raised. "Well, now I'm officially jealous. I'd like my own outfit, theme song, and a cape. Why did I have to be in the boring reality?"

[death_from_above]

"Well we can get you the cloak for a fast escape if one is needed."

[fun_thementalist]

Gen giggled a little. "Ah, I wore plenty of capes for my acts, once. Maybe if I put on a real show here, I'll wear a full getup."

He winked. "It's just not the same as having actual super-powers."

[death_from_above]

"Having real ones would be super, but the closest most of us get is working food service and offering soup or salad with your meal. But at least it is interesting to watch the news."

[fun_thementalist]

"On account of what the superheros do in your world?" Gen noted wryly. "I suppose so. That's what most comics make it out to be like, anyway, when they take the concept with a more serious angle."

So, Gen was a tiny bit of a nerd, what?

[death_from_above]

So were a lot of people in Gar's life.

"Well, watching them clean up after the villains." He grinned.
