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?

I'm sorry.

[From his experiences with Xion, from what he knows of her now, he knows he's in the wrong. What he was thinking, he can't imagine, but his ears droop all the same.]

I... don't know what I was thinking. That's not true.

Why should I trust you?
resipiscent: (melancholy so please tell me you're joki)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2013-11-10 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
You know yourself better than I do, but surely even you know you're not a sham.

Of course I know that! And neither is my keyblade!
resipiscent: (the melancholy of riku suzumiya)

[Both ears and tail stand straight up at the outburst, and he's sitting on the bench bolt upright, tense. He didn't mean to upset her, but he supposes there was no helping that.]

I'm sorry.

[She seems to be surprised by her own outburst. Xion takes a few steps back, suddenly tense and looking ready to bolt again.]
resipiscent: (no...)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2013-11-10 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Riku doesn't move, simply looks somewhere around her feet.]

You can... you don't have to stay if you're uncomfortable.

[personal profile] poppetstrings 2013-11-10 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know why I want to stay!

[It's not just because he looks like a dog, there's flickers of dreams or something like it that make her want to maybe hear him out, and it's frustrating, it hurts her head.]
resipiscent: (the sky won't tell you anything differen)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2013-11-15 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
... I'm sorry.

[He's starting to understand where in time Xion is coming from, and he's kind of... sad, to be honest. He's sure Naminé knows even better, but he can make some educated guesses.]

I... everybody's connected. People from home, I mean. Our... destinies, I guess.

[personal profile] poppetstrings 2013-11-21 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want to be connected.

[Because the images hurt her head, and make her wobble, a little unsteady. They're dizzying, sometimes, and they only seem to happen around select things.]
resipiscent: (disapproving)

[personal profile] resipiscent 2013-11-22 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's nothing any of us can help.

[He frowns, unsure how to continue. He's sure she's feeling the effects of Sora's memories upon her, but it must be agonizing not knowing about it.]

Did you ever talk to Naminé about anything?
