The Fall Festival Meme

It's fall! The air is growing crisp, the leaves are turning, and the warming smell of pumpkin spice tingles at your nose. Grab your lattes and don your light jackets, it's time to enjoy the season!

1. pumpkin patch
You're looking for that perfect pumpkin for your needs - the best jack-o-lantern, the prettiest centerpiece, the finest pie. Don't let anyone take it before you can!

2. hayride
Who doesn't love a bumpy horse-drawn carriage ride on a prickly stack of animal feed? Hope you're not allergic!

3. corn maze
Getting hopelessly lost is fun, right?! At least you won't go hungry...

4. haunted house
Don't be fooled by the shrieking, you're not afraid of no ghost! Or are you the one doing the spooking?

5. apple picking
How much apple pie, cider, donuts, and fruit can you consume before you burst?! Or is outsourced farm labor just not your thing?

6. harvest
Whether you're a sworn city-slicker, country stock, or you make your home in an old-timey village, there's sure to be a harvest festival near you.

7. oktoberfest
There is no better celebration of culture than getting smashed and eating soft pretzels.

8. halloween
Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!

9. slutty M&M costume
It's Halloween, but for adults! Your options are truly endless.

Anything goes!

[open to all]

[this will absolutely be her first time at any festival, let alone a fall one. help a repressed nerd out.]

[AUs, canon and cross canon all welcome. Info & permissions, no #9 please.

Sakie is more likely to pick things that don't require her to be in crowds. #1, #3, #5, #6 and #8 are the most likely, #7 a maybe.]

[6/7? he could have just hit up a bunch of breweries before they parked themselves down for a picnic.]

[ voicetesting. Have watched the show and read the S&B trilogy. No spoilers beyond that, please! Gen is good, cross medium is good... for now, shipping only with castmates, and I'm ota on that. ]

[Halloween is a special time. Special for the feast, special for the decorations, and special for the excuse to be even more of an over-the-top attention-seeker than usual.]

[In other words, the ideal Marauder holiday.]

[The costumes were James' idea. The ensuing fight might also have been on James. One trip to the Hospital Wing and one hasty compromise later, and here they were, with James Potter in full-throated sexy Rowena Ravenclaw drag. He'd shaved his legs and everything.]

[(Well. Not everything. The beard was staying. Otherwise, what was even the point?)]

[The point was, he looked stunning, in his own humble opinion. He hadn't quite managed to get his hair to lay down, but he'd done a decent job with it, and if he did say so himself, the slinky blue robes suited him down to the ground, which they very much did not reach. And he was even doing okay with the walking-in-heels part, as long as he did it slowly.]

[He emerged from the shared bathroom, striking a pose.]

I'd give me a ten. Hey, Pads, come and help me with my bosoms.

[ drag mona away from working her booth (or her eight or so other jobs) long enough to actually enjoy the festival! ]

An odd but kind young man on a quest to stop the appearance of monsters called Nemesis that fall from the sky. Due to the prejudice against those who can use magic like him, he's been raised mostly away from society but has set out on his own and can't help causing chaos and fighting for justice.

Something that starts as a fun time but devolves into pandemonium is my preference.

((Kind of drawn to 'pumpkin patch' and 'haunted house', but open to all options. M/F for shipping but I'd also love for her to make some female friends.))

((HARVEST!! All the harvest!! That's his jam! XD Run before he drags you to help him harvest all the things! No shipping though as he just isn't interested... He needs to devotes all his time to his beloved Earth. Thooooough, if you happen to be some sort of earth/nature spirit, there might be a chance?))
