[all hallows eve] not all jokes are funny.
[OOC: Forward-dated to Halloween. Open like an open thing. Treat this like a party post. Slowtiming and backdating is beautiful. No pressure, just tag around and have fun with it!]
It is almost with tentativeness the people of Chicago celebrate Halloween.
Then they remember the Rift pulls all the stops frequently whether it is the 31st of October or not, and they usually decide, to hell with it. Those that decide not to celebrate the occassion find themselves swept into the evening in some way or another. For instance, the Rift often plays pranks on those that did not dress up willingly, forcing them into ironic or amusing costumes they would not choose for themselves.
Have fun with that, kids.
There are costume parties everywhere anyone can think of. The Crowbar, the Kasthtta Tower, the No Name club--they're all hosting their own events, and will have plenty of entertainment, food, and games for those that choose to grace their doorsteps. The festivities aren't limited to those three places, it should be noted. Party goers will find an interesting time of it anywhere else in the city that is hosting their own event to add to the pub crawling affairs. Maybe you'll find you win the costume contest, or maybe you find yourself somewhere you're not supposed to be.
Not all of it is fun and games, naturally.
Once midnight strikes, the veils between the Otherworlds and the Rifts become increasingly thin once again. Monsters of all shapes and sizes, frightening in their countenance and intent, fall through the Rifts at alarming speed, attacking whoever they find. Creatures once found only in mythology books and horror movies will take shape and become alarmingly real. A carnival appears on the outskirts of town, filled with spooky rides, ghosts and haunted mansions, danger and eery fortune tellings. Characters are confronted with their worst fears, physically or emotionally.
Because of all of this, plenty of people decide the safest course of action is to stay home, eat a lot of candy, and watch the scary movies instead of actually living them out.
There's no telling what can happen on a night like this one, but regardless of what everyone does find this Halloween, it is a night that will surely be remembered.
