It's a Prank Fest and General Halloween Plotting Post!
For the month of October, to help gear up and set the mood for Halloween we thought it would be more fun if we took the "trick" from "trick-or-treat" and basically made this month a giant prank fest. Of course this isn't the only thing that will happen this month-we still have more to come in the later weeks. But this is more background bonuses and will last throughout the month.
We have a few ideas which are listed below, but we can't do this alone. So if you have characters who would actively pull pranks or help fest it up, go for it! We want all player hands on deck for this boat ride, and it's more fun to have everyone involved.
So this post is basically for everyone to pitch in their ideas and even use it for plotting purposes. If you think your character may want to throw some kind of Halloween party, discuss it here! Maybe there will be more than one, so players could use this post to try and coordinate it. Or maybe you have a darker plot involved. After all, Halloween isn't all just nice fun and games. Maybe there's a plot you've been thinking of that could fit in with the spooky Halloween theme. Why not throw it in here and see what other people think?
Seriously, anything goes. Good, bad, silly, serious-you have this whole month to work with! You can also use the ideas that we'll be employing as well. You can even use them as a cover. Just remember, it's all for fun!
mod based.
The following will be occurring throughout Somarium. All of them can be pretty much godmodded and left to be used for your own imagination.
player based.
We'll keep a list of anything that players suggest here, as well as any other plots that you may have so everyone else can see it. (Will be continuously updated with links to the comment for easy navigation)
Feel free to submit your ideas and coordinate with other players! Questions/Suggestions should go here.

The following will be occurring throughout Somarium. All of them can be pretty much godmodded and left to be used for your own imagination.
- Alpacaman. Unlike the horseman, the alpacaman has a good head on his shoulders. Literally. He comes out during the day, riding his noble alpaca steed as it spits on unknowing passers-by. His intentions are somewhat murky as he goes about Somarium pulling pranks and tricks on random victims for his own amusement. Compared to the Headless Horseman, he is harmless, just looking for a good prank and the perfect victim to pull it on.
- Headless Horseman. As soon as the sun sets, a headless rider on a black horse will just appear from the shadows and chase after anyone walking down a street. Village or city-no one is safe. The horseman rider may even try to attack its target, and a strange eerie voice will cry, "My head...give me my head!" Characters can be injured, but not killed. It is also possible to fend off and chase the horseman away. However, should anyone try to actually strike it, the object will pass right on through the horse and rider, as if it were a ghost. Note: Characters can also pretend to be the headless horseman. No limitations, though if your character really wants to go on a serial head hunting killing spree, talk to us as well as the players first. Also, get player permission before actually injuring another character.
- Dream Boogieman. Everyone's heard of the boogieman, but what about one that shows up in your own dreams? Whether it's an interactive or non-interactive dream, this version of the boogieman will be just a creepy and just lurk within the dreams, ready to scare anyone. Of course this is optional, and can be godmodded if you opt to have it.
- Floating Pumpkins. Maybe they belong to the Headless Horseman, but one thing is for sure--these pumpkins really want to smack into your character’s heads, maybe even try sitting on top of them. With creepy faces etched into them and glowing by some invisible candle inside, seeing one just hovering outside your window might be a little creepy. Some might prefer the normal pumpkins that just randomly appear instead.
- Bedsheet Ghosts. The classic ghost costume can now be found hovering around Somarium, even hovering right above your bed! With only two little poked holes for eyes, these “ghosts” will leave your character feeling a little chilly in more ways than one. But other than stealing the bedsheets, they’re pretty harmless and just like to run into people and be a general nuisance.

- Serenity’s festival. Serenity is holding a Halloween festival and details can be found here and here on the post. Mostly dancing, games, booths, and all that good fun stuff. Volunteers are welcome!
- Host Club Test of Courage. Details can be found here. Basically the Host Club will be throwing a Halloween event involving an old favorite (commoner) game: the test of courage. Everyone is invited and volunteers would be welcomed!
- Rogue Black Knight. Details can be found here, but a certain Knight of Hearts is going to be masquerading as a medieval armor wearing black knight and actively chasing people. He may even take a swing at their head. But no worries, no one will actually get hurt. (Others are more than welcome to join!)
- Isabelle's Costume Party. Details found here. It's going to be a fun costume party and everyone's invited! An IC announcement should be coming sometime within the week
- Ghost Stories. Idea can be read here. What better way to spend Halloween than telling ghost stories?
