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!

[Siebren follows her pointing - ah, yes. Them. - and turns back to her.]

I will cue you for the drop, and I will not let you hit the ground.

[Reassurances are probably a good thing. That imparted, he lifts a hand, easily floating Della to the ceiling and over near her victim, avoiding blocking the projector along the way. Once she is in position, he looks up at her - is she ready?]

[sos_pilot]

[ She manages to suppress all evil cackling, though her eyes certainly show it. She's practically trembling with excitement.

Eyes lock... and she gives two thumbs up.

DROP HER. ]

[namethattune]

[He eyes her position at the ceiling - she should be just out of arm's reach of her victim, which should account for any startle reflex incidents. He sees the thumbs up, nods, and holds up three fingers to give her a countdown. Three, two, one-]

[It is a controlled descent, but still a very abrupt one, as Della plummets from the ceiling and stops right at eye level with her target. Pinpoint control is useful for more than simply combat, as it turns out.]

[sos_pilot]

[ Della thought about her options. The classic 'boo'? A menacing 'I'm gunna getcha'? Ah, but threats aren't universal, they are from different worlds. So ultimately she goes for a wild, jungle-like roar. ]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!

[ Combined with claw-like flailing, given her zombie halloween costume.

who lets this woman do anything, honestly. ]

[namethattune]

[Siebren smirks, watching Della howl and her victim nearly jump out of their seat. This is perfection, and he is rather pleased with the end result.]

[He lets it go on for a moment longer, then lowers her to the floor completely, which should put her a row or two in front of her victim. It is up to her whether she wants to reassure them or simply stealth away and leave them to deal with their elevated heart rate.]

[sos_pilot]

[ Della continues it a few seconds more before bursting into delighted laughter. ]

Aw, man, that was great! You should've seen the look on your faces! Happy Halloween!

[namethattune]

[It seems Della chose her target well, as they seem to be taking it in good humor (and potentially as a welcome distraction from a fairly terrible movie). As for him, he stays where he is, refusing to give the game away. If Della wishes to talk with him afterwards, that is her choice, though he would not say no.]
