EVENT | ALL HALLOWED

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Oct 27th - Nov 2nd
Location: The City of Keeliai
Situation: The kedan have decided to participate in an Earth tradition: Hallowe'en! But there are other mysterious things afoot this holiday and when people start disappearing they'll have to find a way to reverse the effect... though all of their selves might not make it back.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As the weather turns crisper, the nights and mornings carry with them a hint of chill promising cooler days to come, the month starts drawing to a close. This is a pleasant time, soon to be the season of harvest even on such a nomad as Tu Vishan. Yet the relations with the kedan have been good lately and even the Emperor's latest warning has not dampened the resilience of her people (both willing citizens and not) and so today marks a new tradition to Keeliai and it starts with receiving a simple, handwritten invitation.

"Come and celebrate the Keeliai of ages past..."



OOC: See the OOC plotting post for event details and this post for assorted subheaders outlining various parts of the plot. Feel free to start your own thread header if none suit, or make your own logs for various threadings... this is just for a central post for the event. Any questions can be directed HERE. Thank you!

NOTE: NPC tagging will be mostly in the Palace Rewards and Touch of Memory threads unless specifically requested elsewhere! Normal rules for players writing NPC interactions remains the same as always.

MID PLOT UPDATE!
Through the course of investigations will be discovered that every Foreigner who went trick or treating has acquired themselves at least one pot of what appears to be iridescent paint, sometimes more than one. Experimenting with these pots (because lbr who doesn't want a few randomly shimmery possessions) oddly enough lets ghosted characters interact with them completely solidly. Which, if you've inadvertently been ignoring someone, might mean you get your new shiny lamp thrown at your head.

Now if people get the smart idea to the paint the paint, that would let ghosted characters get hold of this stuff themselves...

TL;DR - Ghosted characters can paint themselves back into phase. Eating the stuff is also acceptable.

They didn't celebrate Halloween on Midii's homeworld. Not the usual way. Or, if they did, she had never gotten the chance to. The notion of dressing up was intriguing enough, and although she didn't see the "fun" in purposely attempting to scare others with fake horrors, she had somehow ended up working at the Haunted House as a silent ghoul. A costume which she retained for this Trick Or Treating event people had been mentioning.

Though it wasn't the candy that interested her. Midii was on a mission to collect beads. Curious about what exactly they were, and this special surprise she'd heard whispers about.

"Woah, you look a lot different in person," Ellie immediately said upon seeing the other, younger girl. She hadn't bothered dressing up, because even if Halloween existed in her world, it hadn't been celebrated in a very, very long time. And she was definitely slow about the uptake on the new beads...

Either way, could talk to people while wandering around. Right?

Talking and wandering was acceptable. In fact, they were two things Midii was quite fond of, although she tended to prefer to listen.

"It's just makeup," she explained. One finger came up to trail along the white grease paint smudged along there, coming away with traces of it on the tip for show. "I was working at the haunted house earlier."

"Haunted house, huh?" She placed a hand on her hips at the response. "So, what goes on in a haunted house? Is it like... ghosts and stuff?"

She thought the make-up was strange, but then again, she'd had long conversations about stars and different classes of planets that day. It was probably normal for someone somewhere.

"Some of it. There are different rooms meant to scare people in different ways. People who actually want to be scared."

"Want to be scared?" She asks a little incredulously, but then she shrugs. "Well, things aren't bad here. Maybe that's why. So you just run out at people and scream or something like that?"

"No. They're not."

Things weren't perfect, either, but Midii was beginning to think no place actually is. Even a supposed Dream World where magical things happened.

"Actually, I'm supposed to just sit there and stare quietly as them when they walk by. Move around when they're not looking, then go right back to staring. It's called a Silent Room. No noise of any kind, if possible."
