ALL HALLOW'S EVE MEME


It's the month of Halloween, kiddies! You know what THAT means. Time for everything great about the best season of the year! It's goth Christmas, so let's celebrate it right!




LOCATIONS

1. STAYING IN You like to stay nice and comfy at home! Maybe you're watching movies, handing out candy, or baking spooky cupcakes!
2. GOING OUT You wanna trick-or-treat? Go to a party? Have fun, guys!
3. NO, WE MEAN REALLY OUT Why are you out in the woods? A graveyard? What the hell is wrong with you?
4. IN BUT OUT We thought it couldn't get any worse, but now you're in an abandoned hospital? Some real haunted-ass house? Y'all gonna die.

SCENARIOS

1. TRICK OR TREAT The purest and truest thing you can do. Whether you're a little kid going to get candy, a parent going with them, an adult celebrator or some asshole not even in a costume, have some fun.
2. COSTUME PARTY Ohhh baby. Is this a regular costume party or something fancier? Can you recognize people or is it a surprise? Is there a costume contest? Are you in the same costume as someone else? Damn.
3. HAY RIDES Ride in a wagon with your friends or family, hanging out and maybe enjoying some treats. Unless it's a scary one, then try not to punch the actors.
4. HAUNTED HOUSES So you went to the cool new haunted house in town, going of your own accord or dragged along? Dragging someone else? Remember, don't punch the actors.
5. SCARY MOVIES Maybe you're hanging out with friends. Maybe you're hanging out with family. Or your significant other. Are they scared? Are you scared? Can you get a snuggle out of it? ... Are you just watching Hocus Pocus, because we suggest Hocus Pocus. Or the Addams Family. Unless you ARE the Addams Family, then watch your home movies.
6. HANDING OUT CANDY You stayed home for a good cause! You love seeing all the costumes people roll up to your house in and you love handing them treats. Or you hate Halloween and have all your lights turned off. Don't run out of candy though.
7. BEING A LITTLE SHIT Egging, TPing, setting off car alarms, stealing candy, smashing pumpkins... What is wrong with you? Like, literally smashing pumpkins, you're not hanging out with Billy Corgan. Unless you are hanging out with Billy Corgan. IS HE TPING A HOUSE TOO?????? I knew it.
8. PUMPKIN CARVING Either you love this or think it's gross. Pulling the guts out of a pumpkin and carving it into an aesthetically pleasing design so you can stick a light in it and put it outside. Fucking rad.
9. LEAF PILES You cleaned up the yard! NOW IT'S TIME TO JUMP IN THE LEAF PILES. Or, well, we hope you cleaned the yard. It'd be a dick move to do it to someone else's hard work, but we're not the cops.
10. CORN MAZE Another option for fun scary times is a corn maze! Find your way out safely, but seriously, don't punch the actors.
11. PICKING OUT COSTUMES YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE COOLEST COSTUME AROUND. Did you find something great? Mediocre? Did someone else take the best one?
12. THE DAY AFTER Oh shit, it's discount candy day! Get all the best stuff before someone else does! Or fight for it. Whatever.
13. DECORATING You have to get your house ready for your favorite holiday! Hang those spiderwebs, fake skeletons, and cute little ghosts. Or set up your own haunted house.
14. BEING A MORON On a higher level than being a little shit, you don't believe in creppy things coming to get you. Using an ouija board, exploring abandoned, haunted places, whatever: you're asking for trouble. That said, don't punch the ghosts. It won't help you.
15. BEING SPOOPY YOU'RE the spoopy one. A monster, a ghost, a witch/wizard (wow, rude), whatever. Maybe you wanna scare people. Maybe you wanna cut people's heads off because you don't have on. MAYBE you just want to be left alone, GOD.
16. SKELETON WAR ... Wait, what?

As always, these are just suggestions. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun! Also, stay tuned for an extra-special Halloween meme within the next couple of days!

The idea of a masquerade is certainly a new thing but it's embraced easily by students and staff alike. Some people wish to be wholly unrecognizable and some just wear simple masks and costumes - it depends on the person, generally. Regulus is one of the latter, a Muggle literary character (how fitting, Jay Gatsby) with his hair charmed blond and a mask that covers the upper half of his face but leaves his eyes sharp and piercing. It's obvious who he is even like this.

He stands aside, checking an elaborate pocket watch before replacing it in his pocket and looking around. He's clearly looking for someone in particular, scanning the room for a certain clue that will tip him off. It's a sneaky plan they've had but a good one, and he's pleased with it even before it comes to fruition. It's just a matter of finding him.

[Does it really count as a costume when he's an actually sorcerer? Dave isn't so sure, but his master insisted. Halloween night is the perfect excuse to look like the traditional mages of Merlin's era. It's also one of the nights they're needed the most.

Some people, especially teenagers, like celebrating by accepting dares that send them to abandoned buildings. They think the things that go bump in the night are just stories - but Dave knows they aren't. So it's his duty to "patrol" during Halloween - or at least, again, that's what his master said. Dammit, there goes his plan of spending the night with his girlfriend eating candy and watching bad horror movies.

At least everything has been quiet so far. It isn't until he passes by an abandoned hospital in Bushwick for the second time that he starts worrying. There was a chain on the door last time... and now it's gone. Oh boy.

After looking around a couple of times, Dave takes a deep breath and steps inside, internally wishing for it to be just kids and nothing else.]


....he-hello? [Ok, he's learning magic but he doesn't know the proper protocol to go after spooks.] Happy Halloween?

[Smooth, Dave.]

[Well, they were here on a mission to look out for and detain Watchdog memebers. So what if they just happen to be in costume? Daisy's dressed in an Ironette costume, but to keep her face hidden, added in an Iron Man mask.

She's probably had a one too many alcoholic ciders when she suggest the hay ride with Robbie though. Giggling like a moron when she realizes just how bad of a place this is for him to be.

Leaning into him, her voice is muffled by the mask:]

I am late to this meme. But perhaps in the spirit of extending the season?

[personal profile] resolutefocus 2016-11-04 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
They say in Tyria that Halloween is a time when the veil between the worlds grows thin.

Every year at this time the doorways open to the realm of the Mad King Thorn--a haunting, labyrinthine domain where gargoyles and skeletal warriors dog the steps of those who enter. There's something undeniably exciting in the adventure of it though--the adventure of all the mysterious doors that appear not only in the Mad King's labyrinth but all across the land, in fields and forests, by roads and lake-sides.

When people go trick-or-treating in Tyria, they don't knock on the doors of their neighbors looking for candy. They knock on the doors to the Mad King's realm, to discover what will come through. It's not a game for children.

Perhaps, given all the strangeness of the season, it shouldn't surprise Kyinnlen when something goes a bit wonky with it all. Maybe it was only a matter of time before that thinned veil between worlds was pierced through at some unexpected place. Nonetheless, the last thing that he was expecting when he knocked on this particular door was to discover an opening not into the mysterious swirling starry-black from whence fantastic creatures came, but instead into a house, and a rather impressive-looking, wood-paneled, comfortably furnished house, at that.

[ nobody glancing their way would ever make the mistake of assuming brooke came here willingly. halloween is days away, and there are plenty of other ways to keep busy. putting the finishing touches on her costume, putting in an appearance at any number of parties in town, decorating for her own halloween bash. absolutely any of these would be preferable.

and yet, here she is.

standing in a line that winds from the house itself nearly out to the parking lot, eyes darting anxiously around the crowd and clinging to his arm like her life depends on it.

seriously. like real life isn't enough of a horror show? ]


Remind me again why this is better than a party?
