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!

2/2
I feel like I acted really annoyingly before... was it very bad?
[Since her magic-addled queen persona found no fault with her behaviour, it feels harder to assess in hindsight than it should! Was she incredibly obnoxious? Or did she just overdo it a little? She really can't tell!]
no subject
...Oh good, Evangeline has to tell her how bad it was.]
Well... You tried to hit one of the dressed up people in the corridor with your scepter. And called people peasants a lot... and made a lot of demands...
no subject
[It's true though, isn't it? She distinctly remembers it! But those people were also really annoying and disrespectful... weren't they? They got in her way and tried to scare her... but that's the point, isn't it? She felt really offended, as if the corridor weren't there precisely for people to get spooked in! Just how disproportionally mean was she to those poor volunteers?!]
My costume... I think there was a spell on my costume! I can't explain why I'd be so impatient with everybody otherwise!
[Evangeline's going to believe her, right? Something like that happened before at the fashion show quest, after all!]
no subject
[Unsurprisingly, an Abnormality was not a costume choice available in the dressing room.]
I know you're not like that normally, don't worry.
no subject
[Despite the relief of having that confirmed, she looks pretty chagrined. She should go apologise to those poor people, but it'd feel mortifying... maybe, they won't remember her? Can she dare hope for that? That aside, though, her eyes wander over Evangeline's butterfly head.]
I didn't even compliment your costume, did I? It's gorgeous! May I?
[She'll carefully touch her wings (cheeks?)... all the little shimmering facettes are quite gorgeous!]
no subject
[Her wings/cheeks flutter as she giggles.]
Thank you! It's a costume of an Abnormality from home, Funeral of the Dead Butterflies. Impeccably dressed, but when I got hit by that trick I started asking people how they'd like to be grieved and freaked Rinku out. So, like, it could be worse.
no subject
I wouldn't want to be grieved at all.
[While Queen Frieda from before would probably have demanded a state funeral, statues and a mausoleum, regular Frieda thinks that it'd be best if everyone just forgot about her... back home, at least. But she tries to put a positive spin to it:]
Isn't it better when people just remember you fondly? But I suppose those two things go hand in hand... if you were fond of someone, you inevitably miss them when they're gone.
no subject
[Quiet, but firm.]
When you aren't allowed to be upset that someone you care about is dead, when you don't get to take the time to mourn because you have to be at a hundred percent efficiency or you'll be next... I can shove all my feelings down, because I had to to survive, but it wasn't what anyone would call healthy.
no subject
You're right. It's hypocritical of me to say that when our lantern ritual here and the other festivities are so needed.
[She lightly touches Evangeline's wing/cheek again - her butterfly head is just too fascinating! -, then lets go and rubs one of her own eyes.]
Are you still staying at the party? I think I'll head home.
[Even if she weren't getting tired, she'd be too embarrassed to stay after her pompous behaviour!]
no subject
I think I'm about done for the night, too. -Take care, Frieda.
no subject
[She gives her a hug, then heads off with a wave, looking mundane and simple as always in her modest clothes. Will she ever tell Evangeline that she actually is the queen of her nation? Honestly, given the state of affairs back home, she'll likely continue treating it as a detail of no importance to their friendship.]
