In the spirit of Halloween, which is one of my favorite holidays mind you, I've decided to hold a little Halloween party. I'll be holding it inside the Ballroom and costumes are required in order to get in.

This is just a general invitation for anyone who wants to celebrate all Hallows Eve. It'll be held on the 31st at 9:00 PM

PS. Fezzes do not count as a costume.

[ooc: Kinda sprung this out of nowhere. Anyone who is interested should look for a log that will go up Monday night]

[With the festival, she hasn't had much time to think about anything except what the castle's been throwing at them every day...but she still doesn't really have anything to share. That's just tough luck for the castle.]

I haven't really got anything special to share...but I've got this plate of sweets here if anyone wants extras? They're not really my taste, anyway, I'm sure someone'll enjoy them more than me.

Normally around this time of year I find myself extremely busy due to a pest that never seems to go away. I have to spend my time helping organize teams to put random fires out before they spread whilst my son ponders the merits of a costume before feeling bad that he would scare someone.

[Then again, every time of year is a dammed busy one. It's weird to think this time he can put his feet up for once. Would Varian do that though?

No chance.]

Some things such as candies seem to remain a constant no matter what "world" it is. At least it cannot get any worse.

halloween ] [ trick-or-treating with a side of party

[huntersdaughter]

Who: Anyone!
What: Trick-or-Treating through the castle and the city, PLUS a party at the Lux.
When: Halloween!
Notes: Backtagging = Welcome. [brackets] = Welcome. Prose = Welcome. Costumes = ENCOURAGED. Sections = FORTHCOMING.




Halloween wasn't always Jo's favorite holiday. To be honest, a day of the year where all the creatures and monsters she'd been trained to hunt down and kill being a novelty item was a bit unsettling. Mostly, she blamed it on the fact that not many kids dropped into a bar during the holiday to ask for candy. After the first year in the castle for the holiday, Jo changed her mind about the whole thing. Granted, she had missed out the previous years activity where all the decorations came to life. It was possible that she was tempting fate by decorating the Lux in the theme. Maybe she wanted to get her monster massacre on.

Now it was a tradition of sorts. Caterina had gone home, but she was hoping to rope someone new into the position of child wrangler with her.

The kids were to meet at three in the afternoon in the lobby of the castle. Jo had a list of all the residents that were going to offer up candy to the kids and the businesses. Considering last year, she wanted to be better prepared. Thankfully, there were only seven floors this year and it seemed the elevators were in perfect working order.

Once they made their rounds in the castle, they'd head out (through the leaves) to the city. A few businesses had opted to join in on the festivities and Jo wasn't going to let the kids hard work on their costumes go to waste.

After the trick or treating was done, they'd head back to the Lux where the kids were welcome to trade candy amongst each other or trade it in for something else at the Lux (where Jo had plenty of candy -- unless Dean ate it all).

Of course, once it hit nine o'clock, most of the kids would've filtered out and the bar would shift its focus to something of a more grown-up event. Halloween themed drinks and different foods were available and for the most part, it was just meant to be a good time for anyone that wanted to just hang out and drink.

[Del is wandering around the castle and the town dressed in a large, baggy shirt that had once belonged to Jono. Her hair is short, and flame coloured, and her many piercings are all in reds and oranges.

She's in deep denial about Burny leaving, and is trying out this trick-or-treating thing. It's gonna be great.]

[Still bound to the hat the castle has forced her to wear, Vereesa looks every bit the part of a Hallow's End--and Halloween--enthusiast. Now she has a robe to match, at least.

She's seated herself in the lobby, pulling out her journal and opening it to speak.]

My sons may not be with me to celebrate the burning of the Wickerman or the regaling of holiday tales, but that does not mean that I cannot share such traditions with others.

Feel free to listen over the journal, or you are welcome to join me in the lobby.

[She clears her throat, and begins to recite her version of the tale of the Headless Horseman.]

Log 032: Halloween Event

[azure-guardian.livejournal.com]

Today is "Halloween", correct? The day were one can dress up as creatures and obtain sweets...

[a small pause and then the AI laughs.]

Maybe I will go as a zombie. There isn't much of a physical difference between myself and one, from all the material I have gathered on the subject. I just need to lower my intelligence functions beforehand.

[and Kite can be found derping around town doing exactly that. no, he doesn't seem embarrassed at all.]

[the journal opens to mostly silence, save for occasional clinks of glass knocking together. he's too preoccupied to close it, and so after a while he'll just start dictating idly. he seems to be in a relatively good mood today.]

Always liked Halloween. Amazing what some people will do given the right backdrop, what old legends do for the imagination. Had a double homicide left to look like a ritual sacrifice one year -- that was a good one, better than it sounds.

[an extended pause, where he seems to have gotten distracted. then he just picks up again, in the same absent tone.]

There's more to sift through, obviously. Drunks wandering the streets in masks, of course violent crimes are going to spike. Means something worthwhile doesn't turn up every year, but when it does? Always a treat.

[did he just make a halloween pun? maybe. it'd be easy to miss either way, because right then there's a muted pop! and something vaguely acrid splashes on the corner of the page.]

Oh.

Probably best not to touch that.

[is he serious? is he trolling? hard to tell.]

This is Halloween (OPEN)

[hullo-sweetie.livejournal.com]

Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: River Song's costume party!
When: Halloween
Where:  The Ballroom

Welcome to the Ballroom! Which has been  conveniently decorated in the typical Halloween decor of spiderwebs, glowing pumpkins, and other assorted ghoulish looking decorations. A big thanks to the ghosts for doing most of the hard work! A table is set up towards the back of the room and it is simply filled with Halloween themed goodies! Small cookies, candies, some cake, and a strange green bubbling cauldron full of a punch-like drink. Be careful though, the punch has most likely already been spikes!

Your hostess, River Song, is dressed up as a very sexy vampire. Complete with small plastic bat wings, a long gorgeous cape, and plastic fangs! Feel free to approach her or mingle on your own!

[If you are anywhere on the castle grounds or the city, you might come across a peculiar sight. In honor of Halloween, Allen seems to be dressed up in a full pirate's costume. He's carrying a giant pile of DVDs and video games, all horror and Halloween related, with what seems to be a boxed up pie balanced on the top of the pile. On his back is a a backpack that is any trick-or-treater's dream, since it seems nearly bursting from the amount of candy put into it.]

[Timcanpy trails behind him, wearing a tiny captain's hat and eyepatch (even if he does lack eyes). The golem has gotten hold of a plastic pumpkin bucket, and occasionally darts off when they come across a house to bang on the door with the bucket.]

Timcanpy! Stop that!

[It starts with a thump, a groan, and a muffled curse, probably nothing too out of the ordinary.] --the hell?

[Then two beats of silence, and the voice on the other end sounds almost awed.] ...Whoa. What is this place?

[There's some more silence, while on the other end, Kanji is peering around at the lobby, quite clueless and confused. As far as he's concerned the only explanation is one that should make no sense whatsoever, so he's starting to get frustrated and muttering.]

...can't be. If the damn bear--

[And then he raises his voice, sounding more mildly annoyed and lost than actually angry.] You hear me? If this is your fault, you're gonna get a swift kick in the ass! Come out, dammit!

[So, stalking through the castle tonight, the citizens of Equestria (even though one is technically still made of stone and being pulled around on a cart) are wandering the halls, dressed up in their best costumes. Spike has his journal open, dressed as a Redundant Dragon, as he dictates into it]

So you people have his…Diwilally thing going on or whatever it is, but now we’re gonna teach you about OUR celebration in Equestria, and you better believe it’s freaking awesome. So tonight is Nightmare Night, where ponies go from home to home collecting candy, dressed in costumes. We need the candy to offer some to Nightmare Moon, you see, so she doesn’t eat us. I mean, the last thing you need is getting eaten by the princess that rules the moon, am I right?

You... Y-You don't think she'll come to eat us here, do you...?

I don’t know, Fluttershy, but you can never be too carefull, right?

Pinkie Pie can't offer any candy while she's like this! She might get eaten! What do we do?!

[Speaking of Pinkie Pie... the plaster pony cracks and suddenly breaks open, revealing... a chicken. Or a pony in a chicken costume, it's hard to tell until she starts talking.]

WOW! That was super fantastically amazing. I was like... eep! And then we were all like elements of harmony and there was CHOCOLATE RAIN... and now I'm back and it's still NIGHTMARE NIGHT.

[What? You didn't think she'd be a) phased, or b) miss the free candy, did you?]

[[OOC: Open to anyone who wants to be tricked-or-treated, they’re going from door to door, and also over the journals]]

[As far as Tex is concerned, this is the worst day of all to be in the castle. She's been here for previous Halloweens. And she is suspicious. Which is why she can be found on the castle grounds, wandering with what seems to be an aimless pattern. And with a rifle in tow. She hasn't taken any chances this year, and she isn't planning to now.

But she'd probably be willing to discuss zombie plans if approached.]

[Vivi is sitting in the castle lobby wearing a bright red frog (Hi Aradia! 8D) costume with a little red hood that forms the froggy head and detachable gloves that look like frog hands. She's spilled the contents of her bucket all over the floor and is inspecting her haul gleefully.]

This is the best holiday ever! The castle gave me this costume and everybody gave me lots of candy! You should see how much I got! I've never even heard of most of this stuff! It's awesome!!

[no Leonard Cohen this week ... just a kid sounding kinda tired, but giving it his damnedest anyway]

Hey, everybody. Uhh ... for those've you who know what it is? ... Happy Halloween.

[Mark's had a pretty tough day, upon finding out that two of his oldest friends have gone ... including one he considered pretty much the closest thing to a mentor that he'd admit. so to make up for his lack of ... him-ness, he's put together one hell of a playlist.

they'd at least want him to keep going in some fashion, even if he doesn't have it in him to chew everyone out properly and get loud and crude, after all]

Best scary stories? Costume malfunctions? Gimme whatever you've got. I'll be here... it ain't like I got anywhere else to be.

[Halloween, again. His second one here. Rory's found the sweets and the note left at their door and brought it inside, and taken more pleasure than strictly necessary in being able to actually eat it. He doesn't know if the castle does something different for Halloween every year, but he's finding this to be much more agreeable than what happened LAST year--waking up with a gruesome painted face and his very own tombstone out on the grounds: just another lovely reminder that, at the time, he was dead back home]

Does anyone remember Halloween last year? With the painted faces some of us had, and the graveyard...?

[sound of chewing]

Think I like this a lot better than that. Sweets don't remind you that you're dead.

So, with all this money we got from the castle and the whole "spend it on friends". Or at least that's what I'm getting from things. All my friends are back home, though, so if anyone's up for a fun night out and about in town, let me know! And if you're a cute girl, I'll make sure to get you a gift.

[Said completely without shame. Money is best spent on cute girls, after all. But really, totally serious about the night out thing. Spending so much in a castle can't be good for anyone's mental health.]

[The recorded sound of Deadpool drumming his fingers goes on for about a minute before he slams his hand down]

Oh come on! Really?! The castle isn't doing anything awesome for Halloween?! I guess I should be happy that it was a mellow couple of days and I gained a little bit more than I lost gambling but still!

No zombies, no spiders, no skulls, no monsters, no horror anything! This is Halloween! You're supposed to be scared! Or be scaring if that's you're thing. It's not fair. It's not. I feel completely gypped. There's certain things that should happen and a scary, intense, Halloween is one of them. I'm disappointed, Castle. You better step it up! Thanksgiving is coming and then Christmas and if those two are boring then I may as well move out to the Dead Zone and find something else to do/kill. I could be a hermit, living off the land...

Nah, I'd bring a huge tent and as many can goods as I could carry. That's not a bad idea, really. Might be something to do. Anniversary? Eh, I'll think about it.
