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!

"If I find another one, I'll share it with you."

But there were lots of things to try! It might be some time.

There was more than one way to solve this mystery.

[adropofsunlight]

Rapunzel herself was simply going to look over what was available and pick something out at random.

Not even looking just picking something up and trying it. She paused for a brief moment before she shakes her head slightly.

"I don't know what the one I just tried is, but it didn't taste that nice."

I'm half-thinking she's found a candy with alcohol in, here, but I'm not sure Della would make 'em.

[hisblueskies]

"... You didn't eat the wrapping as well, did you?"

Alfredo had almost made that mistake himself his first day here! Lollipops were a comparatively new concept for him, and Romeo had given him one as a gift.

"I know that tastes terrible, but - was it a bad flavoring, maybe?"

I was just a random flavour...I then forgot what flavour I thought of at the time xD

[adropofsunlight]

"No. That would just be odd." Why would people want to eat the wrapper too. That made no sense at all.

"Or maybe a flavor I never had before or a flavor I might not like...I know for example I don't like lemonade. So not a huge fan of lemons."

I know that feeling. XD Don't feel too bad.

[hisblueskies]

Alfredo nodded, doing his best to commit that to memory for when Blue was involved with cooking again.

"What about pineapple, then? Or banana?"

Those flavors were also often colored yellow, but weren't easy to tell apart on first glance.

[adropofsunlight]

"Maybe pineapple... I mean it's a sweet taste pineapple, but I would have never put chocolate on it or mix it with it." She can at least understand a banana flavor and she was someone who liked fruits and vegetables.

"That might be it actually."

[hisblueskies]

Huh.

One mystery solved, then! Alfredo offered a small smile.

"At least we know that, now. That way you can avoid yellow unless you know for a fact it's banana, right?"

[adropofsunlight]

"Well...I can't see the yellow, it's chocolate on top so... It's basically taking a gamble." Unless she broke one but in her mind that would honestly just be rude or something.

[hisblueskies]

"Oh. Hm."

Alfredo put one hand up to his face, flummoxed.

"I was thinking more of telling apart just the hard candies, that way. But if people are making things by hand instead of ordering them, you could just ask?"

[adropofsunlight]

"I'm not sure if people are making them or not, I mean I could just ask but then wouldn't that be a little odd or something?" She wasn't sure how this whole thing would work, but the gamble she figured would be fine, there couldn't be that many with that flavor right?

[hisblueskies]

"... I think, in the end, it's better to ask and be told no than to assume and get in trouble later."

He just wanted Rapunzel to be safe! Or at least get to have the treats she likes.

[adropofsunlight]

"I guess, but I also felt like that would be a tiny bit rude, right?" Not that she would know, but that was the way she thought of it. But then again not liking something would also be rude too.

"Though I guess if you don't like something and they see that that's worse, right?"

[hisblueskies]

"That's what I mean."

Alfredo nodded.

"Better to be told up front that something isn't to someone's taste, than to just assume everyone likes it."

People don't like the same foods! And that was okay.

[adropofsunlight]

Rapunzel would like to be able to like all foods, but there was a few things Rapunzel didn't like. Pineapple being on of them. Lemonade being another.

"Okay, I will ask next time. But I think right now I'm just going to be careful."
