Halloween!

Who: Everyone
Where: Scorpio's Central Art District
Summary: Halloween is being celebrated in style - with candy!!
Warnings: #*@$ Candy. And costumes?


Another year, another Masquerade and celebration! On this most powerful of spiritual days, even the demons take a day off and enjoy a frightfully good time with the human folk. ...Well. Most of them do. But now that the Visitors have become a familiar sight, a few have decided to have their fun. Lucky you!



The lights are colored blue and purple, and the streets are filled with party-goers of all ages, in both fantastic and not-so-fantastic costumes. Pumpkins appear to be floating in mid-air, but closer inspection will reveal that they are, in fact, Pyro Jacks attending the festivities. This is their favorite holiday, and they wouldn't want to let it go to waste!

In comparison to the previous year, Scorpio District is in tip-top condition, and the Masquerade is being celebrated in Scorpio's Art Center. It's a big change in atmosphere, with tents and buildings lined up on both sides of the street, candles floating in the air (this time actual floating candles), and throngs of costumed people everywhere. In an attempt to merge the cultures, Halloween this yeah has taken on a more commercial tone. Homemade costumes are available from the local artists, and face painting is offered to many of the giggling children - non-magical this time! The tents are distributing free candy at the door, with an invitation to step inside and browse what else they have to offer: Halloween-themed treats and candies, of course, as well as decorations, party supplies, art pieces, and costume modifications.

In the middle of Scorpio District, an extra-large tent boasts party games and live music for the revelers. In separate corners, there are jack o' lantern carving competitions, costume contests, a triumphant return of bobbing for apples, and musicians producing spooky Halloween music (with a theremin!). Join in the fun!

If you find yourself without any money, no worries! Just strap a white cloth over your head and pretend to be a ghost! Or you can even pretend to be another Visitor! How original! Costume shopping should be no problem, and there are still stores nearby selling their wears for last minute purchases. There's also a vast quantity of masks, both traditionally Japanese ones and those of cartoon mascots.

...And a few June Prince ones, of course.

In this small secure sector, it's sure to be an extra fantastic celebration of dancing, music and just watching both humans and demons going at it without a care in the world. Candy is floating around thanks to the Pyro Jacks - grab something and try not to ruin your teeth. Hey, who is that guy who just passed by? Hard to tell.

After all... with this combination of Halloween costumes, masquerade ballgowns, and masks, who knows who really is human and who isn't?

Kotoha had managed to dig out her Sneasel Ninja outfit from one of her older movie series.

Oh! Isn't she a TOTEMO KAWAII SHINOBI-SAN?! It is so incredibly SUGOI!! to be working as her SUPAAMEJINGU NARE-TA!

She's certainly going to regret her choice of costume in the morning when the candy wears off. For now, the reformed thief The Sneasel has the work of JUSTICE ahead of her!

SOOOOOOO KAWAIIIIIII!! SAVE ALL THE BISHIES, YOU KIREI SHINOBI-SAN!!

...What?

Where is that voice coming from? Do you have like, an audio recording hidden back there?

[Phantom Girl floats behind the ninja and peers suspiciously at Kotoha's back.]

Kotoha's mouth visibly moves underneath her mask for several seconds, but no sound comes out until after it stops moving.

"No."

Uggh, how RANBOU! ORE-SAMA WA NARE-TA!!

"...You moved your mouth like, eight times, there must have been more than just 'no'. Geez."

Phantom Girl seems to take this bizarreness with remarkable calm.

"I get it. You said you did movies, right? You must be dressed up as some weird prehistoric Earth movie actor."

Kotoha's mouth moves under her mask once.

"My apologies, I appear to have been poorly dubbed. Please, pay no mind to the narration, as I certainly am not."

Ohhh, SHINOBI-SAN! Don't be so HIDOI to your GOJO-TEKI GENKI KAWAII NARE-TA!!

"...Orrrr maybe you're being haunted by the world's weirdest ghost."

Trust her Phantom Girl knows ghosts.

"Does your ghost come with subtitles 'cause it sounds like they're saying something really creepy."

Hey! GEROGERO YOUSEI-SAN! This KAKOII KAWAII NARE-TA is gonna MEWOSANKAKUNISHITEOKORU if you keep that up!

Kotoha's mouth moves again, but this time the words are only a few seconds out of synch.

"I speak Japanese and trust me, it's even worse than you're thinking."

"Normally, I'd say you could use an exorcist and I'd say that it's called my fist, but I don't see it for some reason. Maybe it's just spectral energy."

A slight shrug.

"This place is really bizarre."

Whatever you say, YOUSEI-SAN! Now, if you will excuse the CHOU KAWAII SHINOBI-SAN, she has USERU! FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

"..."

Kotoha doesn't move.

...FORRRRR GREAAAAAAATTTT JUSSSSSSTICCEEEEEE! AWAY!

Still not moving.

Oh! BAKA me! SHINOBI-SAN is already where she needs to be! In other words, this conversation is JUST AS PLANNED!!!
phantom_envoy: (Facepalm)

"...So. Entirely unrelated to anything, I found this really great store the other day that sells like, 50 types of earplugs. There's foam, there's gel, there's... gel-coated foam. You should really try it out when you have the chance, or like, right now, maybe."

Phantom Girl gives a slight shrug.

"I know I feel a sudden need."

Kotoha nods gravely, already fed up with the bad dubbing, and turns to leave.

Oh oh oh! KAKKOI! SHINOBI-SAN VANISH!

There is an entirely unnecessary puff of smoke, and when it clears, Kotoha is...still there, walking towards the shopping district at a steady pace.
phantom_envoy: (Unamused)

"...You know what I need? A narrator that says all of my sarcastic thoughts for me so I can just roll my eyes and nod. This place is so. weird."

Phantom Girl will lift off into the sky and float away.

Unbeknownst to her, she was not the only ninja out that night.

Someone else had taken up the garb of the stealthy warrior, albeit someone that had much less of an idea of what Pokémon were supposed to be.

It is also someone under the thrall of enchanted candies.

"Aha! I finally found you!" she shouted, defying all pretense of stealth, finger outstretched.

[personal profile] unbroken_chain 2013-11-06 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Aaaa! A KOWAI TAITEKI has appeared! Go, go, FIGHT-O! FOR EVERLASTING PEACE!

Kotoha just stares at...whoever that is.
ladieswhodresslikemen: (i don't like that)

It's already too late. The spell cements Faris' place as a victim to the unreliable narrator.

"Hey don't just stand there! What are you even doing?"

Fortunately, this kind of script always had a lot of talking before battles. And a lot of talking during battles.

Kotoha closes her eyes, takes a few deep breaths, and gets in character. She's an actress and a ninja, she can do this!

Might as well spin it a bit, just to mess with the narration.

"So you have returned, my wayward student - but you will find that I am STILL the Master here!"

Ohhh! So SASSOU, KAWAII SHINOBI-SAN!
ladieswhodresslikemen: (i refuse to accept this)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2013-11-06 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll never accept that and you know it! Taaaaake THIS!"

Kotoha will immediately find that a shuriken has been thrown at her.

After throwing, Faris makes several Dramatic Hand Signs to no immediate effect.

"Ninjask Body Flicker!"

The legendary CHOU KAWAII technique, Ninjask Body Flicker! Moving with the speed of an enraged Ninjask, KAWAII SHINOBI-SAN dodges all attacks!
ladieswhodresslikemen: (feeling lucky?)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2013-11-06 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I thought you would try that! But you can't escape my Scroll of the Ancient Flood!"

Faris takes out a blue-bound scroll, opening it.

Suddenly there's water everywhere, rushing every which direction.

"The Surfing Pikachu!"

TOTEMO SUGOI!! KAWAII SHINOBI-SAN is NORI KYOHA back to AKAI SHINOBI-SAN!

"RAGING RED GYARADOS!"

And now it's the CHOUS HISSATSU, RAGING RED GYARADOS! Oh! This TOTEMO KAWAII attack makes the target as angry as a RED GYARADOS!

In more sane terms: have a nose beep.
ladieswhodresslikemen: (i refuse to accept this)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2013-11-23 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yep. That sure worked.

Unfortunately she got so angry she remembered you were in uppercut range.
