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?

Uh... huh...

DANCER

Try doing a waltz and see if you can summon floods or anything. I think that's how this usually goes.
prettytamer: (Perky)

I can't waltz alone though~

[So saying, she tries to pull Atsuro into a waltz.]
otakuro: (Surprise)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-03 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, whoa - Hey! If you want someone to dance, find, uh. I don't know. The guy who doesn't sit at a computer all day.

[Atsuro attempts to resist but alas Midori's smooth moves are too much for him.]
prettytamer: (Happy)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-04 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well, my girlfriend isn't here, and I can't dance with just anybody.

[Midori's candy-induced moves are the smoothest]
otakuro: (Mr. Corner)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-05 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
...What's that supposed to mean?

[Are you saying Atsuro is your second choice 'cause he has more pride in himself than to accept that gosh no he doesn't]

And since when do you have a girlfriend?
prettytamer: (Pleased)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-05 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
It means I dance better with my friends! [Don't feel bad Atsuro, you're a good dance partner even if you actually suck because you're her friend!]

And for a month, I guess I didn't mention that, oops.
otakuro: (Default)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-05 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well... Maybe you can pick someone off the streets and pretend they're one of your friends. I bet if you closed your eyes you couldn't tell the difference.

[says atsuro as he attempts to step right when midori is swinging him left causing him to trip over his own feet]

Who is it?

[alas his keisuke/midori ship crushed]
prettytamer: (Thinking)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-05 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Agatha Sheridan. Red hair, cute smile but most of the time she's going like this instead?

[This is Midori seriously linefacing in an imitation of Agatha.]
otakuro: (Embarrassed)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-05 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Atsuro looks vaguely blank until the face.]

Oh! Yeah.

[slight pause]

I didn't think she smiled at all, actually.
prettytamer: (Kind)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-05 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Midori's expression relaxes into a dreamy smile.]

She does at me.
otakuro: (Default)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-06 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Atsuro bites on his bottom lip and doesn't pursue that line of thought any further.]

So, uh, how'd you... you know? The only times she ever talked to me were in a total deadpan. I almost thought she wasn't...

[human]
prettytamer: (Kind)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-06 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[what Atsuro, what'd she say]

A nice person? [yeah let's go with that] Well, we met on the first day she got here and kind of hit it off, and I guess things just went from there. Sometimes you have to be a little persistent to get somebody to open up.
otakuro: (Happy)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-08 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'm scared off if it seems like the person isn't very interested. That's why you're the Magical Girl in our group.

[Although it hadn't worked very well back home.]
prettytamer: (Perky)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-08 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey! There was that one Jack Frost! And... nobody else.]

No offense, but you wouldn't make a very good Magical Girl. For one thing, you're kinda missing the girl part.
otakuro: (Default)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-12 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
...Hey. Magical Boys are totally a thing. ...It's, uh, Rule 42, right? Fanfiction.

[Atsuro is probably teasing. Also there's no way in heck he ever wants to do that.]

I'll leave it up to you, though. I think you have to actually be charismatic to be a Magical Anything.
prettytamer: (Listening)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-12 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
There's all kinds of weird stuff in fanfiction, it doesn't count. What have you been reading anyway?

[Really, Atsuro. Please explain.]
otakuro: (Embarrassed)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-14 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
...Nothing! I'm just... relating to your, uh... expertise. And that kinda thing.

[A pause.]

Could we stop dancing now?
prettytamer: (Embarrassed)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-15 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, sorry!

[Midori lets go of him. She's still a little suspicious, but she won't call Atsuro on it.]
otakuro: (Default)

[personal profile] otakuro 2013-11-16 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
...So is this going to last all night? Another weird demon thing going on?
prettytamer: (Default)

[personal profile] prettytamer 2013-11-16 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably! At least it doesn't seem harmful.
