This is Halloween~

Halloween Event 
~October 31st~

Morning dawns bright and crisp, there's the smell of falling leaves and...does the sun look just a little bit like a giant jack o' lantern in the sky? It's probably just a trick of the light. On every doorstep, one for each inhabitant of the house is a pumpkin with a bag of carving tools and a few candles tied to

COSTUME CONTEST ENTRIES

[suggestsabat]

OOC: Please post a LINK to a picture of your character's costume here, or a good description if you can't find one!

Our lovely judges will decide who wins and there's a fabulous prize to be won! Okay, it's a trophy and candy.

Goro's and Toge's

[frillsalwayswin]

Goro will be wearing this dress with this headband and a pair of these fangs right here, going for the whole "innocent vampire" thing. Toge's going as a police dog. :V

Elraine's

[holds_his_hand]

Elraine will be wearing this dress with this mask and a special sash will be added to the dress. (The bow in the back fans out and has supports inside it so that it looks like butterfly wings. I'll probably sketch a picture later for it.)
Basically, her costume is a white fairy.

Later on, her sash will disappear and be replaced with actual butterfly wings for the transformation. Ignore my crappy drawing of her dress.

Sora's

[toysword]

Sora will be wearing this costume! He's actually rather glad he found everything he needed to recreate it here in Ruby City, though applying that make-up was a pain.

Aqua tends to be relatively creative. See that star-shaped charm? Aqua made three of those for herself and her friends. So as soon as she found the note, the pumpkin, the carving tools and the candles, she set straight to work. And here's there result! But that's not all she did; using her magic she made flames wrap around it, without damaging the pumpkin.

Goro's new to this whole thing, so her pumpkin is really basic. :V

[Take this. Only the carving itself is very crooked and jagged. One eye is bigger that the other, and she somehow managed to accidentally carve too much, so the nose is partially connected with the mouth. Oh well. She tried!]

Aren't You Scared?

[suggestsabat]

Ready for a fright? Post here for a visit from Jack as you prepare for the party!

[suggestsabat]

Jack crept, silent as a shadow, behind Lucretia. Every so often he runs loudly across the street behind her and hides behind a conveniently placed tower of pumpkins or lets out a long low moan.

[LOCATION: The Bonfire]

[suggestsabat]

Outside the Cathedral is a large bonfire to sit around if you don't feel up to the party itself. There's marshmallows and sticks aplenty as well as benches to sit on and tell ghost stories!

[doublesilenced]

There was someone standing by the bonfire, dressed in something along the lines of this. It looked vaguely like Salsabil-style clothing...but it didn't do much in keeping him warm. He shuddered and stayed near to the bonfire, arms folded and flicking his long blue ponytail slightly over one shoulder. Ramin wondered why he'd come to this thing in the first place, but he supposed it was to hear music like the kind playing in the background.

Speaking of... The musician dropped himself down on a bench, reaching for the case his Plucking Bow was safely tucked away in. He opened it up and drew out the instrument, setting it across his lap as he began to mimic the tune he was listening to, a smirk tugging over his lips as he did so. Yes. He'd come to learn more music, that was what.

[muteiny]

Nill honestly didn't know what to do at a party, never mind a Halloween party. So, when she stumbled upon the bonfire and saw Ramin...let's just say she was quite relieved. Wearing her costume she approached her new friend with a nervous smile. Since he was playing his instrument she simply listened, waiting for him to see her. She didn't want to interrupt something so beautiful.

[doublesilenced]

When he hit the end of the song, Ramin made a quiet grunt of satisfaction to himself. Then he tilted his head slightly, spotting her out of his periphery before turning to face her properly. The hint of a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he tilted his head. "Nill." He nodded at the empty spot on the bench next to him, an invitation for her to come and sit.

[LOCATION: Cathedral Entrance]

[suggestsabat]

The mist curls around the cathedral which glows from the inside, all is silent as everyone gathers outside. The doors open and a cloud of bats fly out in to the night. Jack stands in the doorway cackling with all his might. He peters off with a bow before speaking.

"Welcome Friends, to the first Halloween of Ruby City. Please enjoy yourselves, the winners of the contests will be announced later tonight."

[ferite_rosso]

Of course Enma had no intention of going to the party from the beginning. Parties and large crowds just weren't his thing and it's obvious from his expression that he already wanted to hide in the shadows or just disappear. How Yoruichi had managed to convince him to go must have been a miracle, but his rush was also obvious in the last-minute bandaging of his mummy outfit.

A water bottle in hand, Enma debated just outside the Cathedral whether he should really head in or not.

[tempervale_npc]

Temper had been waiting. Things had taken shape quite nicely, better really than he had expected, and he would admit to being somewhat impressed with the atmosphere if nothing else. For his part, Temper would be quite happy to blend into the background for the time being. He stood not far from the doors, glancing upwards at the bats as they swooped off into the darkness. Well, not all that different from confetti.

For his part, Temper had chosen one of the more archetypal costumes, a smoky colored robe that managed to be somewhat ghostly while at the same time blending him into the shadows he stood in. Though the hood was drawn over his face, half hiding it from view, he wore no mask, blue eyes sweeping their way over the growing crowd. Hmm.

For the time being, he'd play spectator. And why not? Something would catch his interest eventually.

((ooc: so Temper's not looking for a fight, but if one of your characters are really looking to have a physical conflict, please IM me first so we can figure it out. AIM is tangledgraces.

Lenalee had been busying herself with finding things to put on the table to replenish the food supply when things looked to run low. She was also trying to figure out who was dressed up as what for her own little amusement. The idea of dressing up like this for Halloween and having fun made the city seem a bit less heavy.

When she walked past the ghostly appearance, thinking it was just part of the decoration, something felt off. Stopping, Lenalee looked over towards him with a small tilt of her head. "A fitting costume." She said quietly while lifting the eyepatch of her costume up to get a better look.
