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?

...

[He's staring at you as if you decided to go as a Salvador Dali painting for Halloween, Desco.]

You...turned into a guy.

How does that even work?!

"The corrupternment unleashed a virus on the population at large to turn everyone into Warden Axel, so they would be morons that kissed up to authority! But Miss Artina's blood cured it, so Desco was able to go back to being adorable!"

STOP GETTING HUNG UP ON MEANINGLESS DETAILS, BIG BRO!
primordial: (we stand opposing one another)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-11-03 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
You think this is a virus? [He glances around- so far he doesn't see anyone else suffering the same effects. He looks a bit affronted by her thought, though.]

Alright, alright! I won't get hung up on those things...ugh. Who did you talk to recently?
tyrantball: (NOOOO)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-11-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
All the color drains out of Desco's face.

"...Desco talked to her girlfriend."

That's it. I'm done. The hidden secrets of a maiden's heart were laid bare. I'm the trash of the little sister world now. Never again will I appear in an SRPG! No, from now on it's just gonna be skeevy visual novels. I hope I'm too young for the really skeevy ones; it's not like I have any succubus DNA to get me through those.
primordial: (but do not think you've won)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-11-04 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Wait, which one? [A pause.] Right, right, meaningless details! Um...

[WHAT DOES HE DO.]

Desco, look, you aren't going to be in any skeevy visual novels, okay? Maybe your girlfriend or whatever didn't notice. Yeah. Something like that.
tyrantball: (crying)

"She saw Desco's status screen!"

She's just going to cry on your shoulder now, Big Bro.

What am I gonna do? How can I still call myself a little sister after this?!
primordial: (the once and future king)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-11-04 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[WOW THIS IS AWKWARD um what did he do when he was younger and his actual real little sister was crying??? He pauses, before raising a hand to awkwardly pat her on the shoulder.]

There, there? [That sounds about right.] You're still a little sister...so don't be upset. You don't need to cry. I'm sure it will, erm, wear off before you know it.
tyrantball: (crying)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-11-04 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Desco doesn't move, but the eyes set in her upper arms swivel to stare up at Sam.

"...really?"

Big Bro won't throw me away?
primordial: (drifting on the tide)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-11-04 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Desco, stop it. No, he won't fall for that look, he still doesn't care, you won't completely replace the sister-shaped hole in his life. He has to put his foot down and tell her that he...can...throw her...]

[Ugh. No, he can't do it. Darn his entirely too human feelings.]


No. [He sighs.] No, Desco, I won't throw you away.
tyrantball: (crying)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-11-04 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...thank you...

With that, the text box goes blank as Desco stops thinking in words and just hugs Sam a little bit tighter, crying in relief.
primordial: (Default)

...Let's get you out of the party for now, okay? That way, you won't have more people looking at your text box thought thing.

[He knows she might complain if he puts her down, so instead he just puts an arm around her to keep her from falling and moves to the edge of the party. He manages to find a chair there, away from most of the people.]

You can sit here, Desco.
