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!

"What's with that?"

Wormmon has heard people use this phrase. It seems appropriate. Ken, sensing a hint of a brewing huff, realizes what's going on.

"Wormmon..."

The Digimon is on a roll. "You're holding his hand now, too! If you're gonna kiss Ken-chan, you have to ask ME first!"

There. That is the best and non-jealous way to handle this. Being passive-aggressive about this sort of thing has not stopped it in the past, so Wormmon is learning! He's a SMART DIGIMON.

[consider8]

H-Huh...? What's all this about? Is this bug a whirling storm of insecurities or is it possible he is just impossible to please?

W-Well, they just had a nice dance. There's no sense of getting huffy and defensive. "...I think you have the wrong idea. If we were going to stay out there, we could have gotten hurt by other dancers."

"We were just having fun. There was nothing romantic in it." She returned her gaze to Ken. "Right?"

[ourtomorrow]

"Mm." Wormmon gets a special smile, just for him. "Now that she's taught me to dance, we can both have more fun."

Wormmon considers this argument. Wormmon takes it deeply, DEEPLY into consideration.

Then, slowly, he inclines his head. "Okay. But I dance next time too."

And he looks at Eight for confirmation. You'll agree, right? Right?????????

[consider8]

Eight gives Ken's sleeve a little tug. "I think he's asking you for a dance. Are you going to leave him like this?"

She didn't feel especially invited to dance along with, Wormmon...

[ourtomorrow]

Ken blinks. "Immediately?"

He eyes Eight like she's a life preserver. Teacher, help! Is he really ready to do this solo...?!

[consider8]

"I don't think I'll hear the end of it if you don't..." As if on queue, the lights dim and there music begins to slow. Oh yeah, if Wormmon was going to get upset over just a friendly dance, there was no way she was going to get caught up with him in a slow dance.

Ah, but Ken has three left feet, so maybe a small primer is in order. "There's nothing to this one. Take your friend and hold him close to your chest. Then slowly sway your legs side to side. Be sure to keep your eyes looking into his." She presented the steps for Ken, a slow rocking back and forth like what a mother would use to bring an infant to rest.

[ourtomorrow]

As Eight's description continues, Ken listens carefully while Wormmon cups his face in his claws. C-can it be....! Is this - is this that moment that pops up in his video games sometimes....?!

Ken tries the steps, but this looks simpler. "All right."

Partner (and dance partner) in his arms, he heads back out to the floor. Close to his chest.....Sway....Look into his eyes.

HALLOWEEN IS WORMMON'S FAVORITE HOLIDAY.

Eight smiled at the two "lovebirds," as they made a couple of loops around each other. Then, just as quickly as she appraoched Ken, the sly octogirl shifted into her octopus form to slide past the nearby chairs and legs.

Let them have their moment; she had taken enough of Ken's time.
