it's halloween, lo-ween, everybody!

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!

[Alfredo shudders, and there's a moment where if Madoka looks, she'll notice he's blocked his eyes outright.]

If you did, then so did I...

[He admits, with no small amount of self-criticism. None of that is directed towards Madoka, however; it's not her fault.]

But, all told - I'm glad it's over.
happyends: (the ancient magic i dreamed of)

[ Thankfully she wasn't the only scaredy cat kid here, huh.

Though honestly, Madoka would have prefered for poor Alfredo to not have had to suffer through this as well.. He's so sweet! He doesn't deserve having scary movies like this forced onto him! ]


Me too.. [ She lowers her voice, as if she's afraid of offending any of the people around them if they'd happen to overhear this. ] I don't think I'd like to see another one...
hisblueskies: Blond-haired boy, mouth partly open, stares slightly off-center. (Doubt)

[personal profile] hisblueskies 2020-11-03 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alfredo tilts his head and, after a moment's consideration:]

We don't have to stay here - maybe there's something we can help out with in the rest of the party proper?

[Though his side of the aisle IS still full - but if Madoka is looking for an appropriate excuse, she has one now!]
happyends: (better than the rest)

[personal profile] happyends 2020-11-06 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh god, do they have to walk past all these people to get out of here...

Sure, it's certainly not an impossible task. Not by a long shot. But with as overly polite and considerate of others as Madoka can be, it almost feels like she's being told to climb a mountain here. A huge, near-unsurmountable task. ]


O-Okay, that sounds good, but..

[ She leans a little closer to Alfredo, not wanting the people next to them to overhear. ]

How will we get out of here? [ As if just asking those people if they can please pass is an unthinkable scenario. ]

[Alfredo squints into the darkness.]

I think they're picking the next movie; it shouldn't be too strange for people to leave now.

[Autoplay as a feature is beyond Alfredo's knowledge for now.

The way should be (socially) clear!]
happyends: (better than the rest)

[personal profile] happyends 2020-11-07 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Should be.

But even Madoka is realising that if they don't go now, they may be stuck here forever.. Or at the very least for the duration of yet another terrifying movie! Which is just as bad, really.

So she nods. Perhaps just a bit too dramatically for the situation, but look, this is a bigger deal to Madoka than it would be to most people. ]


Alright, then let's count to 3 and get up.. does that sound okay?

[ Because they have to do it together in order to not look weird or impolite by themselves! This is a trust fall exercise, Alfredo! ]
hisblueskies: Blond-haired boy stares slightly off-center, slightly smiling. (Semi-Smile)

[personal profile] hisblueskies 2020-11-07 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Any bother Alfredo might be feeling at this is tapered by the movie they've witnessed. Of course he'll support her in this; she's his friend!

He nods.]

On three. One...
happyends: (my feelings are all i can rely on)

[personal profile] happyends 2020-11-07 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Two..

[ She looks like she's getting ready already. Like Madoka needs to mentally prepare herself to Make This Step. ]

Three!

[ It's said relatively softly, to keep them from bothering others, but Madoka does shoot up at three to stand up, already starting to move past the other people sitting there with a lot of polite half-bows, nods, and "I'm so sorry!"s. ]
hisblueskies: Blond-haired boy looking off 3/4 stage left, looking dubious. (Concerned)

Almost at wrap, you think?

[personal profile] hisblueskies 2020-11-07 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[And up they go!

Followed, fairly shortly, by out - no one seems to be in a mood to stop them, thankfully, which helps to make this as straightforward as possible.]

I think we'll be okay, now.

[Said once they're on the side of the car closest to the door.]
happyends: (that has been plucked)

yeah! we can wrap it here, or you can with your next tag

[personal profile] happyends 2020-11-08 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She lets out a sigh of relief. Oh god, thanks. There's the door. They can finally escape this movie hellscape. This is the most relieved she's felt in a while, truly.. Somehow this was almost scarier than the fight back during the last mission! ]

I think so too.. Thank you so much for helping me, Alfredo. [ Even if it's just helping her through navigating terrifying social situations. ] Let's leave here and do something that's.. um, well, more fun and less scary, okay?
hisblueskies: Blond-haired boy stares slightly off-center, one eyebrow perked. (Eyebrow-raise)

Sure! /does a rap wAIT WRONG WORD-

[personal profile] hisblueskies 2020-11-08 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alfredo nods firmly.]

Yes, let's. Maybe there are more low-key events up by the Kitchen?

Or the car with the crafting materials...

[The one that isn't Games, this time. In any case, ONWARD!]
