Mini Event Mingle: Halloween is Coming to Town

Halloween has been officially adopted as a holiday in Ellipsa. So the Summer Guild Leader, Dawn, has arranged a three day party to celebrate it. She has gotten a lot of people involved to make it as fun as possible! They are held at all of the guilds (Frostreign, Blossomcrown, Solarpeak, Amberfall).

All of the guilds are now connected through a mirror path. However, the paths have been made longer with the help of Riki's Rewards, so the journey from Guild A to Guild B isn't instant! Instead people will encounter the spooky corridor, full of silly ways to spook someone such as randomly appearing skeletons and ghosts. Usually these are just fake props or people hiding under a sheet - but occasionally there's an actual skeleton around and taking off his head to cite Shakespeare.

The aesthetics of the corridor change depending on what guilds it connects together. All of them are made to be spooky right now, but originally they were made to work as actual methods of traveling between the guilds, so it's not everything there is. The night skies with a creepy red full moons are just temporary!

At the guilds, all of the natives have dressed up in different costumes and are encouraging people to pick their own costume from the costume room setup. Unfortunately, some very mischievous fairies have gotten into the room undetected and may cast a spell that makes someone act like they're the character the costume represents.

There's also an option to get a random costume if someone feels daring.

Otherwise it's a party filled with different kinds of Halloween appropriate food and drinks. Cookies that look like skeletons, pudding made to look like brains, drinks that look like blood and so on. Even the actual food has somehow been made to look creepy.

By the end of the evening, anyone who hasn't screamed because they were scared will be gifted a special potion called shared bravery. It lets the user to share their bravery with others around them for five hours.

Happy Halloween!

- Ask your questions here.

- The party will be held from November 1st to November 3rd.

- The Mirror Path Corridors will be added as an official method of traveling between the guilds soon, making it easier to stay connected between guilds.

- Smut is not allowed on the post. You can play situations leading to it, but if the thread is turning into smut, please move it to a private space such a post in your character's journal, or a locked post in the game's log community.

- This is not the special mingle mentioned in the calendar

People deserve to be mourned after they die.

[Evangeline might not normally say this, or would qualify it - most people deserve to be mourned. But Abnormalities are not ones for nuance.]

[Russell is quiet but firm in his reply:]

I don’t.
abnormalizes: (hyping flossing)

If you died, I would grieve you, whether you wanted me to or not.

[He reaches up and gingerly touches his neck, rubbing a hand along his throat as if remembering something.]

… … I already died. You’re too late.

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-11-01 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm not. I can grieve you now.

[She puts one of her five hands over her heart.]

[He frowns, very slightly.]

Stop. You’re just wasting your time.
abnormalizes: (and I never see your face)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-11-01 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Why? -Why do the living mourn the dead to begin with?

[She's going to apologize to Russell for this later.]

[Russell had thought a lot about death. The town of Funerale didn’t come to existence in his dream world out of nothing, after all.

At the question, the frown softens slightly, curling thoughtfully into something neutral. He thinks about Gardenia’s father in those moments after her fall. The anguish on his face, the heartache in his voice. Russell hadn’t really understood it back then. He understood now, though. He understood what it was like to lose someone precious.]


I think it’s because… they loved them. They miss them.


… … But no one loved me. No one would miss me.

Rinku loves you. And Rinku and I would both miss you.

[This, at least, she would say normally.]

[personal profile] guilt_trip 2024-11-01 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Why?

[Now it was his turn to pose the question.]
abnormalizes: (she's all right she's all right)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-11-01 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You're kind and thoughtful, and you haven't given either me or her any reason not to like you.

[Russell tilts back as if she had swung at him, and she might as well have; that pervasive, almost unbearable kindness stung as much as any blow. He takes a breath to steady himself.]

… … I’m not either of those things. I’m a serial killer and a coward.

[Oh. Well. The serial killer thing is news to her. She can see how that might impact his self-image.]

...Do you still kill people here, or did you stop?

[personal profile] guilt_trip 2024-11-03 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah it wasn’t knowledge he necessarily liked to hand out but when the situation called for it, he had no problem admitting it.]

…I stopped.
abnormalizes: (she's all right she's all right)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-11-03 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, then I still like you.

[It's as easy as that, apparently.]

[Russell looks almost a little annoyed at how quickly she came to that conclusion. Again, he asks:]

… … Why?
abnormalizes: (everybody sing)

[personal profile] abnormalizes 2024-11-03 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I just do. I like talking to you, and I like hanging out with you, and I like listening to Rinku talk about you.
