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!

More metaphorical? Rules weren't supposed to be metaphorical, that's stupid. But she understands standards, knowing that killing people on the train would cause more problems than it solves.

Unfortunately.

She is still watching Alice warily even if Alice has not moved and doesn't seem tense at all. "I do be having standards as well. You can be having both I do be thinking."

[irrationally]

There's a pause. It may be hesitation, but knowing Alice, it's more likely that she's just thinking before she speaks up again.

"And how did you get those standards?"

There are always reasons behind how those are formed, after all. Alice is very well aware of why hers don't exactly match up with most people's - or, well, most people's here on the train, anyway.

"I do be using my brain."

She sounds sulky, she is sulky. This conversation has gotten complicated and stupid.

"I do no be being a stupid person, so I can be knowing what so be being the right thing to be doing. Because I did be learning all my life and I do be following the gods rules and when I do be knowing I do be praying until I do be thinking of an answer."

[irrationally]

Ugh, praying. Praying. Uggghhh. It's at least better of an answer than she expected, but something about that word in particular leaves such a gross aftertaste in her mouth. Why would anyone pray to gods that - from what it sounds like to her in the girl's world - only restrict you?

Why would anyone pray to a god who would abandon a young girl to a locked away life of torture?

Alice knows it's not the girl's fault, but she suddenly feels so much more moody. Something about the topic feels sore.

"It's good to be using your brain." She'll at least give approval to that part of it, even though she thinks maybe the girl should use her brain even a little more.

But she won't lecture, not now he mood is shot.

Instead Alice stands up, dusting off her pants.

"Thank you for the story."

[knifewithnoname]

She wrinkled her nose. She's annoyed Alice she can tell that much but she can't tell why. She's meant to be better at this. She can usually tell when people are mad and change it so they aren't mad at her anymore. She's good at distracting.

But Alice? Alice makes no sense. She can't figure what she wants.

She nodded once. "You do be being welcome..."

This was stupid.
