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.

No! Stocking! Damnit! Pivoting back around, he followed her out onto the street. His strides were brisk as he kept up with her. McCoy remained glued to her right side as he tried to get her attention.

Talking was decidedly out, so he tried for a feeling or any emotion, something beyond the physical. Hell, he didn't know a lot about ghosts except for the usual myths, but they had to stem from something palpable. Right?

Shit!

Holding his breath, he tried to channel his anger and frustration into a tangible field or paranormal occurrence around her.

For a moment it seemed as though nothing would happen and then the shop window nearest to them seemed to fog up and then crack with a sharp sound. The angel looked over startled, approaching it and studying the damaged glass.

"What the hell...?"
asouthron: (you what now?)

What the hell? It was the same sentiment as Stocking's. He walked transfixed behind the girl, staring at the frosted glass. A hand reached out to touch or draw in the fog, but it slipped right through.

This was such bullshit! Unbelievable! Insufferable! Here he was trying to get a little angel girl to notice him by breaking glass with his mind. Great, this was exactly where he thought he'd be at 32 with three doctorates. Clenching his jaw tightly, McCoy tries to focus again on his emotions. The rage, the frustration, everything that boils his blood. If he could keep Stocking's attention, maybe he could lead her to understanding just what had happened to him.

He wished for another cracked window, a gust of wind, a tug on her skirt, anything!

Stocking is fortunately not unfamiliar with ghostly activity; unfortunately it is normally preceded by an actual Ghost, capital letter and all, about to wreak havoc on Daten City or some other halpless region. So very calmly she sets Bone Kitten aside and lifts one leg, slipping off one long striped leg sheer.

What are you doin', kid? Did she get glass in her shoe? McCoy can honestly say that this isn't the reaction he expected to get. When she set her cat down on the dirty street, he leans forward and watches as his hand goes right through it. Even as he tries to think as solidly and corporeally as possible, it changes nothing.

Once the legging is removed, something strange happens to it. It begins to glow and as the angel runs her hand along it, it suddenly transforms into a wickedly sharp, katana-style blade that she levels in McCoy's direction.

"All right Ghost," she says crossly, not realizing that while the term wasn't exactly inaccurate, it wasn't the type of ghost she was thinking of. Her eyes scanned the area where he was standing; she knew something was there, but couldn't see it. "I was wondering how long it would take one of you to show up here."
