Mini Event Mingle: Halloween is Coming to Town

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!

at the party (pick your guild!)

( As soon as Thea hears the words party and costume, she's interested, rifling through the autumn guild's costume room and selecting something suitably fun, her red hair scraped casually over one shoulder. A party not just here, but among the other guilds as well, means that she makes her way to the autumn guild party while mentally mapping out an itinerary to allow herself to experience every party going on. All the better to meet more people, right? )

autumn guild.
( The first stop of the night and she's still fine and dandy, carefully ladling blood-dark punch into a cup and holding a bone shaped cookie between her teeth, snapping the sweet treat in half as she steps away with a polite incline of her head at the next waiting person. )

Not bad. ( She declares after swallowing. ) I would have used white chocolate instead of icing, personally. ( She says this like she can bake. She cannot. )

summer guild.
( She doesn't so much walk into the next party as she does stumble, her heart thundering as she shudders, adrenaline still hammering in her veins. She certainly isn't winning any potions for bravery as she looks back at the doorway through which she entered. The (comparatively) brighter lighting bathing her in sanctuary, the din of people talking and music pounding washing away the worst of the fear.

She is quick to find her way to the drinks, queuing behind another. )

Have you been through those tunnels? ( She asks, craning her neck a little to try and glimpse the progress of the person getting their drink. )

spring guild.
( She braces for the expected when she makes her way to the spring guild's party, and it pays off. Well. It pays off a little. The final ghost jumpscare does unsettle her, making her flatten herself against the wall and shove the door open to come out into the thick of the spring guild's party. She presses her hand to her chest, steadying her breath and straightening her shoulders.

It's fine. It isn't anything real. Just people messing around. She takes a glance at the food and drink on offer but shakes her head, drawn instead to the music and dancing. Speaking of — )

Might I join you? ( She offers a smile to the person she asks, dipping into a brief curtsey as she does. )

winter guild.
( What she'd expected to be a relatively simple task, moving between one guild and the next, has been anything but. She could have — very nearly did — decide to spend the rest of the evening in the spring guild, far from any more jumpscares.

But her plan wins out, stubbornness driving her through the last few scares with the jaded affect of someone who's been through the wars. Or someone who just never really cared for the scaring aspect of these types of holidays even before she got here, someone who's bypassed fear and landed at exhausted resignation.

She staggers into the winter guild and immediately finds a chair, lifting a leg to massage her burning calf with a groan. )
