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?

No, no, I'm fine...

[Okay, it does hurt a little bit. She waves her staff around a little bit.]

La Repth.

[And they should both be feeling better.]

[???? Oh.]

... Ah. You are also a healer, then?

[..... That's at least two - three? - other people she's met personally who can heal. Maybe more, for all she knows.

"There are enough healers. Diversify."

Mostly. I have a few attack spells, and I try to use Personas that attack a lot, but that's just what I'm best at. I can't exactly make a new character here, after all...

[She makes no claim to being the best healer. Not by a long shot, she's only 1/3rd of max level!]

...Character?

[This just causes a headtilt and furrowed brows until Aggie Gets It.]

By that, do you - do you mean a character as in a video game playable character?

Yes. I was playing an MMO when I was brought here and for some reason that brought me here in my character's body.

... Hinoto-Ri never fails to be exceedingly strange.

[Translation: WTF, Hinoto-Ri???]
