♫ 09. [dictated]

[musical-phantom.livejournal.com]

[erik stumbled upon the music room by accident, really - he found the castle's decorations perplexing and interesting at the same time, and was essentially wandering around when he noticed that the door to the music room was ajar... and he decided to look inside.

it reminded him so much of his underground lair that, for a moment, he truly believed that he had returned to the opera house. once he had returned to his senses, however, he recognized the obvious differences. still... it was very clear that he had no intentions of leaving quite yet. so he set his journal down, drawing in his breath sharply when he noticed the organ.]

Mon Dieu...

[he crossed the floor quickly, taking a seat with his fingers over the keys before he remembered - he didn't know how to play. not anymore.]

Ah, my friend... I am not the one you are meant for, it seems. Alas... it would not hurt to make an attempt.

[he knows it's useless, but there's no one else around and the organ is practically calling to him. so he hesitantly tries out a few notes, wincing slightly when he hits a particularly wrong one.

so, he can't play the toccata et fuga in d minor or anything - and even though his playing isn't the best, it still does sound kind of cool. it is an organ, after all.]


(ooc: open post or journal. by the way... you have NO idea how much i wish i had just gone and made erik's loss his memory of christine instead right now. NO IDEA. >__<)

[he's dictating as he walks around]

Halloween huh? Looks like I came back in time.

..By the looks of it, maybe I shouldn't carry the Gun Del Sol aro--WHOA!! [and down a trapdoor he goes. It's canon]

[filtered away from Reno Browne and those associated her]

And the results from the name plaque west of the castle... show absolutely nothing extra. Other than new arrivals and exits, nothing else about the area has changed.

...Miss Reno Browne's name is on it though her companion was not.

[Seeing as the Halloween decorations just improved, Jake's taking it upon himself to really set the scene.

Not far from those plastic tombstones, sitting upon a small hill, there's a wolf. And yes, he is howling at the moon.

Feel free to spot him and maybe even say hi. He doesn't bite! Just trying to get into the spirit of the holiday. :D]

Flames ... ?

[the Companion Cube is still setting near the snack table, an empty cup and discarded napkin or two resting on its surface now.

Oh, and look at that. It's got a few painted-on cracks, its pumpkin faces are more pumpkiny, and there are little stitches painted on its heart faces. How cheesy.]


Everything changed. Changed just a little bit.

A little bit.

I like Halloween.

[Filtered to anybody who knows Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, or Souji and has experience with fighting;]

The loss Chie, Yukiko, and Kanji are on just took a turn for the worse... they've turned into their full Shadow forms, which means that they'll be both much stronger and much more aggressive.

This needs to stop before they seriously hurt somebody. I know that's what they'd want.

I'm heading up to the roof to face them. If you can help... I don't think I can win on my own.



[ooc: This is going to be a... large action post for the entire battle. In about an hour realtime, the fight will be over, but we're expecting to do a LOT of backtagging, probably a lot of it even on Thursday

But still, here it is. Have at it?]

[ so, what do you do when your big brother is technically stalking all of your guy friends because he's just a tad overprotective? absolutely nothing, at least nothing out of the ordinary. she's wandering around the castle, checking out the new decorations -- because whut, they changed again ]

How strange..

[ fff, why does she have a bad feeling about this ]

Halloween is just a few days away and I still haven't decided on a costume.

chapter 4 - in which we augment the ambiance

[toolshedarsenal.livejournal.com]

[Mort appreciates the fact that the decorations have been stepped up a notch, but they're still lacking. so he's down in the lobby, tying cornstalks to the ends of the banisters and around the columns. some of them look a little bloody. and he's humming to himself, half-singing with the song in his head]

And you may ask yourself - am I right, or am I wrong...?

[steps back to survey his work and pops some caramel corn in his mouth. munches. ahem]

You know what this floor needs? Chalk outlines. [a bit of a wicked, mischievous smirk] Anyone feel like lying down on the floor for a second or two?

[written, as Pit walks through the halls with no real purpose other than to check out the slightly spookier surroundings]

I don't see what's so great about this 'holiday'. Hanging up skeletons and ghosts for decoration?

I guess the food is alright, though.

[ a sigh, mister angel pants is not all that amused by Halloween. as he remembers the last Halloween which wasn't all that shiny at all. there are scribbles on the side of the page, and the word Samhain underlined once. he dictates this though ]

As tacky as the decorations are, I would rather they stay that way.

[likesneedles.livejournal.com]

This certainly seems different than any holiday I know of.

Still, it doesn't seem so bad.

[out in the lobby, Sandry's sitting down near several large hanging spooky cloth, and every time somebody approaches, she uses her magic to move the cloth spookily- don't mind her, she's not trying to really scare anybody, she's just trying to enhance the mood ahaha]

[both open and journal responses welcome~ but I prolly won't be able to tag until much later]

[she lets out a huge squeal as something pops out in front of her in the maze and she drops her journal open]

Aahh!

I--It's all fake... It's just all fake! [shiiiver]

H--Huh? That's strange... I thought I took a turn over there and I should be here, but it doesn't really match up... I--I can't be lost!

43: Closer and closer to All Hallows' Eve

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Well, well, well... This is much better. But we still have a few days to go. One has to wonder what else the Castle has in store.


[catch her over the journal, or she's wandering about the Castle, turning into a raven now and then to caw at people menacingly. She's having fun. ^_^]

[leadthedance.livejournal.com]

[all dictated, because he's talking to the journal while wandering around the castle]

Commoners always dress up on this holiday, right? What's everyone going as? I want to get in on it but I don't have any ideas...

And at least the surroundings are a little better than they were yesterday. They aren't so cheesy anymo--

WAHH-!

[yeah...guess who found one of those motion activated zombies.]


[ooc: open journal, and open if you want to see him backed up against a wall like a scared little kid. <3]

I'm kind of curious to see what's going to happen to the castle tonight. It's all harmless fun, right? [ There's a fake scream heard from one of the decorations as a skeleton flies into an upright position when Claire walks by, then slowly lays back down. ] Yeah, it's going to take a lot more than these decorations to scare me.

35 pounds of candy corn (in a 5 pound bag!)

[Parker is standing at the entrance of the maze, which she has successfully completed three times now. with a giant bag of candy corn in one hand, her other hand flails in an attempt to wave Sophie over to her. her eyes hold a bit of excitement and she's bouncing on her heels.]

Oh, come on! I know my way around the maze by now. [jiggles the bag of candy] I've got candy!

<sub>(ooc. MINI-CR GET START! feel free to use this as an open post in order to get your characters into the maze. if you want Parker and/or Sophie to run into your character that is already within the depths of the maze, go for it! :D

It was really rather charming at first, you know. My niece would have loved it. And my nephew would have loved the rather scarier parts, but I can see that we are headed in a rather ominous direction, aren't we?

Perhaps a brief sojourn in town wouldn't be remiss.

Well, isn't this just fabulous for the holidays.

[journals really do open at the most inconvenient times, don't they? She just went down for a midnight snack, and since the buffet table was looking suspect she went to the kitchen... but unlucky Maya, she couldn't taste the fact that she ate the rotten food. So the journal opens two hours later to the sound of her puking her guts out in her bathroom.

Yeah... a bit of throw up might have landed on the journal page. She wipes it off with a tissue, muttering hoarsely]

Sorry...

[bleeeeeeagh] Guys, don't eat the food in the kitchen. Not good.

[pause... pause... bleeeeeeagh]

Hmm... the decorations aren't as cheerful anymore. I think I liked it better yesterday.

[The faint wild screaming of an animatronic in the background]

So what exactly is Halloween? We didn't have this sort of thing back at the Fire Nation.

Wave #15

[just-the-pilot.livejournal.com]

[Hovering around the buffet table is a certain Hawaiian-shirt loving pilot, surreptitiously snagging handfuls of candy. From the looks of things, he might've been here a while. Feel free to boggle at him, or warn him of impending sugar crashes/cavities.]

[OOC: So open it hurts. Beware the sugar high. Also, in before day change, woo.]

[Guts and Judeau have been out and away from civilization for a while; what was it about sleeping under the stars that made one think more clearly? The last few weeks have been pretty much a non-stop chain of events, and it was time for a break.

It's been quiet between them for a while, now; Guts finally breaks the silence.]

I sort of missed this.

[my-six-hearts.livejournal.com]

[at the stroke of midnight, a sort of shiver runs through the Cube...leaving it just a little bit different. Its pumpkin faces are looking a little spooky now, with glowy LED-style lights in its eyes. Its heart faces are looking creepy, looking more like stitched-up anatomical hearts then cartoon versions. Oh...are those spikes? And real craggy cracks over its surface?]

I like this Halloween.

I like this Halloween.

Everywhere it is large and everywhere

I hope they see me talk to me touch me

[Enjoying the decorations upgrade yett? Well, it seems you really hurt the castle's feelings on the first day. After all, it was just trying to be very festive for the holiday for you all!

So it's time for the castle to take these decorations up another notch.

There's a tiny, almost impossible to hear SSSsssss that drifts throughout the castle. Suddenly, those decorations aren't looking so interestingly fake and there's a distinct uneasiness lacing the air and there's no immediate source to it. It's everywhere and no where.

You'll find your rooms significantly less...well, pleasing to the eye, let alone comfortable and the castle'll have taken on a distinct more haunted feel.

Playtime's over, kiddies.]
