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?

Why is some weirdo that can't even speak like a normal demon coming up to me? Am I just too adorable? Is he one of those perverts Big Sis warned me about?"Hi, weirdo! Why can't you speak right?"
no subject
He pauses when he realizes who he's actually speaking to. "Uoy t'nera, pihs driew eht htiw lrig eht er'uoy, tiaw?"
no subject
Hmm. He seems familiar for some reason. But if I can't place him, it must mean he's not important or interesting enough to remember. Might as well pretend I do, though, since I am the Queen and all. It's hard, having standards."Oh, right! Your Queen bids you greetings, peon! If there's a reason you can't talk right, tell Desco and she will fix the problem with violence!"
Not that I'd be able to understand him if he did tell me. I can definitely pretend I do and then just go beat up a scapegoat, though! And then he'll be so amazed by my strength and generosity he'll swear to serve me forever, and all I'll have actually done for it was something I would have done anyway! Oh Desco, you're such a diabolical genius. No! No tail wagging, you'll rip your dress!no subject
Unfortunately, ranting at her backwards isn't exactly getting him anywhere.
no subject
"There, there, you tiny, insignificant peon. Your glorious Queen has heard your plea, and she will now go beat up the cause of your troubles!"
I AM SO CHARISMATIC. Time for violence!no subject
no subject
Oh wow, look how grateful he is! Sucker."Alright! Now, if Desco knows her curses, whoever did this will be hanging out in a dark alley! Let's go, peon!"
Mwahahaha! I can practically taste his allegiance! ...oh, no, wait, that's tentacle number three. How'd it get out without me noticing? Get back in here, you - wait. Is that...?Instead of flying off to beat up someone lurking in a dark alley, Desco moves her arm so her wrist is pointed at her back, which has split open and extruded a single tentacle. The tentacle in question has a blue retro-style status box of its own.
Name: Snuffler
Title: Final Boss Tentacle
Description: Desco's #3 tentacle. Slimy but satisfying.
Eeeee! A STATUS SCREEN! I've leveled up as a Final Boss! Multi-targeting!
no subject
He keeps quiet, not wanting to remind Desco of her "solution". Well, that and he's kind of speechless anyway. This small girl has just revealed a tentacle with its own little text box.
no subject
Okay then, I need to do this carefully or I might rip my dress! Slowly, slowly...In time with the steady countdown of the status box, something oozes and pulses out of Desco's opened back, slowly and carefully. When it's done, there's a massive bulk of tentacles, chitin, and golden eyes floating parallel to Desco's back, with each of the twelve tentacles having their own status screen. The two tentacles at the top of the bulk have the largest ones, naturally.
Name: Gnasher
Title: Left Tentacle
Description: Desco's tentacle. In charge of ripping.
Name: Gnawer
Title: Right Tentacle
Description: Desco's tentacle. In charge of tearing.
This is amazing! It must be because I was a good girl and ate all my iron! I can't wait to show it off to everyone! Emizel is gonna be so jealous that I'm more grown-up than he is!
no subject
Finally, because proximity to Desco makes it difficult to maintain proper priorities, he asks, "'Reraet' dna 'Reppir' eb yeht t'ndluohs, gniraet dna gnippir fo egrahc ni er'yeht fi?"
Because that is totally what you ask when a small girl suddenly sprouts a mass of tentacles.
no subject
...oh right, I was gonna violence someone for him. Meh.
Hey, wait a second, when I listened with this body I actually understood him!
"Don't worry, peon, you could never hope to understand the exalted naming schemes of the Final Boss!"
no subject
At least, if she was talking about naming schemes, he guessed she could. And her text box certainly bore it out, if that was really what she was thinking.
"Ti xif yllautca t'now pu enoemos gnitaeb erus ytterp m'I tub, siht desuac tahw aedi on evah I, esac taht ni."
no subject
...I honestly think that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. How is it possible to be that wrong without exploding?"What kind of insane problem can't be solved with violence?"
no subject
This is frantic backpedaling on Erk's party to try and avoid making Desco angry, because he's suddenly believing that she could take over the world a lot more.
"Gnorw gnieb morf tsuj edolpxe dluoc uoy wonk t'ndid I."
no subject
Okay, I can't use surgically applied violence, so the real answer must be generalized violence! Except it wouldn't be worth leveling an entire district just for one peon. I could just go through the alleys and beat up anyone I see, but Uncle Otoha doesn't like it when I drip blood on the carpet...in other words, even though violence could solve this problem, the rewards aren't really worth it, are they? Which is completely not the same as what he said!Composing herself, she looks Erk directly in the eyes with her red eyes.
"Desco has decided it's not really worth the effort it would take to cure you. Instead, since Desco is the only one that can understand you, pledge your eternal loyalty to her and she will act as a translator!"
A slight pause.
Humans are so prickly about the eternal loyalty part, though, so I better give him some kind of 'out' that is also a cunningly disguised trap to get what I want out of him!"Or you could just give Desco all your candy. She is flexible like that!"
no subject
Besides, he's more willing to give out candy than eternal loyalty. Especially since he's had people take that without asking anyway.
"Emos teg og nac I tnemom a em evig ll'uoy fi tub, ydnac yna tog t'nevah I."
no subject
Hmhmhmhm! I always get what I want in the end!no subject
Erk, who's gotten a little suspicious now, grabs some candy that isn't floating around in midair this time. He returns shortly with a bag of candy, though he isn't actually holding out hope that she'll be a translator. He's mostly just hoping she won't follow him around trying to get him to swear fealty to her and/or beat him up.
