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?

[When Miyako saw something flying her way, her instincts kicked in and she immediately dodge. After a quick glance to confirm what it was (an arrow?), she glance at where the voice come from.

Normally, she would think it's that Cupid nuisance again. But she recognise this voice.
]

Mizushiro, what are you doing?
bondsofsuffering: ([Ow] God or a divine prank?)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-02 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, you're not supposed to dodge that! Don't you want to find true love?

[He takes aim and fires another one!]
capitalbackup: (You dare go against him)

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-03 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope, going to dodge that arrow and reaching for her phone.]

True love is just a fool's fantasies! I would never want to find it!

[A bunch of baloney, really.]
bondsofsuffering: ([Soft] Is it a message)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-03 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...Why not? Love is supposed to be one of the greatest facets of life, no?

[At least he's stopped firing those damn arrows.

...For now.

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-06 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
Only in the view of the public. I don't believe in it, simple as that.

[He stopped firing, but Miyako is still watching him warily.]
bondsofsuffering: ([Surprise] all the answеrs)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-06 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't believe in love? What could have scarred your heart so, fair maiden?
capitalbackup: (Right...)

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-07 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing "scarred" my heart. I simply have no need for love.

[Ironic, when the Hotsuins was trained to protect the country they're sworn to and supposedly have love for.]
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] even a flashing)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-07 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone needs love~ And everyone knows that romance is the best of them!

[Which is why there's another arrow flying her way.]
capitalbackup: (You dare go against him)

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-10 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm doing fine without love for a long time. So cease your "aid"!

[Yeah, okay, singular arrows won't cut it, Hizumi. Miyako's pretty quick on her feet.]
bondsofsuffering: ([Excite] didn't do me any good)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-10 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
Times like these are when love is needed most-!

[And he fires one more! ...Along with several others quickly after that are aimed to hit if she should try to dodge in any particular direction.

Even if he's acting strangely, he isn't dumb.
]
capitalbackup: (Surprised)

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-10 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
[It could've fool her.

But damn, after she dodge one, she's unable to turn quick enough...!

(Note to self: give Hizumi a good beating, Hotsuin-style, afterwards)

Spluck.
]

--!

[She stops and clasps one of her hand over where she got hit, on the left side of her stomach.]
bondsofsuffering: ([Excite] Negatively)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-10 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
Haha-! And now you will know the true meaning of love!

[He looks awful pleased with himself.]
capitalbackup: (Surprised)

[She just looks up at him with an utterly non-amused expression.]

...Mizushiro.
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] even a flashing)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-17 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah-- By the way, it would be best if you didn't fall in love with someone like me. Love between a human and a cupid is a little...!

[His followers seem to press closer right then, glaring at Miyako as if she is somehow a threat.]
capitalbackup: (You dare go against him)

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-18 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
Then you would be pleased to know that I am not interested in someone like you. And I doubt you will be a cupid for long.

[Because someone might rip those wings off--]

But you did inconvenienced me with your arrows.
bondsofsuffering: ([Hmph] supposed to make)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-18 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow don't take away his wings!!]

Huh-?! Why not?

[Hizumi you are sending mixed signals here.]
capitalbackup: (To live is to...)

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-21 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
[They look ridiculous on you!!]

And why should I ever tell you?

[Why tell him her standards]
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] Miserable - yes - but)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-21 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
Because we're friends and I value your judgment.

[Aka he's really curious.]
capitalbackup: (Glance)

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-22 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
I don't recall being friends with you.

[THAT'S...a big step okay!]
bondsofsuffering: ([Ow] God or a divine prank?)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-22 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
That hurts!

[Are his followers... hissing?]
capitalbackup: (Right...)

[personal profile] capitalbackup 2013-11-22 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ignoring them!]

Oh? Do you really think of me as a friend?
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] even a flashing)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2013-11-22 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! What would I do without you, Miyako-chan?

[...He lies even as a cupid, it seems.]
