HALLOWEEN '10

[headmasterhand.livejournal.com]

Who: Whoever!
What: HALLOWEEMS
When: October 31st, all day and all night.
Where: Everywhere!
Warnings: Spooky stuff.

Except it's not really all that dark and stormy. It's a cool, clear night in Final Destination, ready and waiting for shenanigans of all sorts. The streets are full of trick-or-treaters, the front porches are full of pumpkins, the sky is full of stars. All-in-all...a perfect evening.

Of course, nothing is always as it seems. As the night drags on, it becomes clear that something is not quite right. But what is Halloween without a few scares? As someone once said, it's close to midnight, and something evil's lurking in the dark...

Teacher's Lounge, Early Evening. open to anyone

[goaheadnblunder.livejournal.com]

Leon had plans on hitting the bar later on for getting tanked-up halloween style and scare people will slumping around in drunken stupor with the two sharp objects inspired by his cafe costume (http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/4/40222/1168879-untitled_large.jpg), but for now, the lizard man was lounging on his ass watching cheap Halloween flicks on the boob tube.

With him is a sack of pennies for any trick or treaters that came over. What a dick.

Knock knock.

near the haunted dorm- late at night

[badasscopters.livejournal.com]

This security guard is on a mission.

One of his stops tonight happened to be an important one. Goose peeked, and ONLY peeked, into the haunted dorm, looking about to make sure no zombie shenanigans were happening this year. It looked... safe. Was that something lurking around in there, though? Nah. That was probably a trick of light. No zombies, no static, no nothing.

The pilot grinned and closed the door. He wasn't going yet, though. He'd hang around here for a while, he decided as he went for a drink from the nearby water fountain.

Who knew if he'd be alone or not?

[terrible-fates.livejournal.com]

Goose was, indeed, not alone.

The figure was, for the moment, unmoving and therefore didn't make any noise, but it was there nonetheless, standing at the end of the hall.

Watching.

Waiting.

the pool- late at night

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Misty was enjoying the night. She had to admit that she was a bit... wary during this very certain holiday, all things considered, but she was still having a nice time. It maintained a nice atmosphere outside- not too dangerous (yet?), but it had that air of spookiness. It was a pleasant level of it.

That didn't mean she wasn't still classically worried, but that was mainly because of the way the school is. So far, no mishaps, though. That was a good sign.

She approached the pool, clad in her little mermaid outfit. It was October and the night air came to a cold breeze. It was a bad idea to take a dip into the pool, but sticking her feet in and looking at the stars wouldn't hurt, right? That would be just fine.

She sank down, sat on the concrete, and dunked her feet inside. That was refreshing, she realized with a sigh. She was more than content.

Hopefully nothing would ruin her night...

Re: the pool- late at night

[goaheadnblunder.livejournal.com]

Again, Leon had plans of hitting the bar. To get smashed in alcohol. And scare people.

Goddamn he's still on campus procrastinating!

He had just made a trip back home to change forms and clothes, now about to head out in his best Voltaire-ish look (http://www.demonsanddarlings.com/imgs/20081004_99.jpg). There was a lot of noise, a lot of screaming and, just a lot of stuff going on, but things got quieter as he wandered near the pool. It hasn't been an idea hangout spot since the Kraken was released, but he saw a familiar woman sitting by there, looking up at the stars, and that made him look up, too.

They were so gorgeous.

He edged closer to the pool, standing next to where Misty was sitting. The water was reflecting the moonlight really nice, too.

"Did the rest of the school forget to vandalize or party up this part of campus?"

Behind the school -- late night.

Isaac coughed a couple times, holding his arms and rubbing them fervently. It was cold and he had just recently caught an illness. Truly, it upset him because today was supposed to be the day of a magical celebration, one he had never heard of back in Vale. This year would have been his first year celebrating 'Halloween', but it had to be ruined because he was sick.

So, rather than spread his infection to other festival goers, he ran to the back of the school and stood a little off campus, staring into the star-studded sky fearlessly.

He really had missed the point of Halloween, not knowing that this festival was one to rile chills through his body and so he stepped courageously, with little thought as to what paranormal anomaly might have been following him.

The Adept sighed and he pouted, thinking about whether or not he should be a little selfish and head back to the hub of holiday activity.

[black-hawke.livejournal.com]

Isaac was not the only one sitting out of the Halloween festivities, but Hawke was abstaining for different reasons, reasons that mostly involved him being a gigantic wet blanket.

Tonight, however, he at least had a reason to be out and about, albeit not in costume. After last year's zombie episode, Hawke was not too keen on having something like that happen again, and had left his dorm with the intent to patrol. Partly because it was a nice night...but partly because he wanted to hedge his bets and make sure there weren't rampaging zombies again.

He saw Isaac's shadow from around the corner and instantly tensed, wondering why the figure was so still. Hawke knew it was probably just a student, but better safe than sorry, and put his back against the wall, taking a deep breath before springing around the corner.

It was just a student, after all. "Oh."

near the gate - after dark, early evening

[pkmachomega.livejournal.com]

Claus was not in costume. In fact, he was in all black. Generally, he was a pretty good kid, but when it came to causing mischief, he was much more willing to do so than his more timid twin. This particular night Claus felt that a little harmless, totally (semi... if you work at it) washable graffiti was in order. He looked around shiftily, dropped his bag, and started to take out a few cans.

[terrible-fates.livejournal.com]

But Claus was not alone. Some distance away stood a strange figure, unflinching, unmoving, with an unsettling stare that bored into the student.

IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, RED BROWN

[notsilvertongue.livejournal.com]

Lyra was so excited. SO PUMPED. So completely amped that mere mortals could not even begin to comprehend it.

The Team Rocket Kid. HE WAS GOING TRICK-OR-TREATING WITH HER. And they were going to have matching costumes and everything. They were gonna be the COOLEST MARIO TWINS on the block tonight. Lyra was all decked out in her wicked awesome Mario costume and ready to go. She stood waiting at the school entrance, where they'd agreed to meet, swinging her empty candy sack in utter preteen bliss. This was gonna be THE BEST HALLOWEEN OF HER LIFE.

GOOD GRIEF

[punchteamrocket.livejournal.com]

YEAH SO WHAT RED LIKED MARIO GAMES. He felt a little silly trick-or-treating with a 12-year old but what other opportunities would Red get to dress up like Mario. And maybe he could split all his cool candy with the rest of his team this was an excellent idea.

So Red, too, was headed towards the school entrance! Also dressed as... Mario! Uh-oh.

Lemmy's Trick-or-Treat Group Outing!

[thisisavolcano.livejournal.com]

Lemmy stood smiling. A statue of complete joy.

A statue of complete joy wearing an atrocious costume (http://poorlydressed.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/129177182782829250.jpg).

You may reconsider going anywhere with him when he's dressed like that, however, you did promise the little guy you'd go with him, didn't you? And you'd hate to break his rainbow heart.

Approach the Rainbow Lemmicorn?

Re: Lemmy's Trick-or-Treat Group Outing!

[gohomeandcrybby.livejournal.com]

Naval wouldn't break a promise, oh heavens no! She decided to don a Sailor Senshi uniform (http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac321/dangerisland/rpg/sailornaval.jpg) for this outing because it was so pretty in a kind of silly way. She did wonder if she was going to be spooked around by boos pretending to be dead loved ones again, but everyone seemed like they were having fun and so many expressed excitement during the whole month! Maybe it won't be so bad!

"Hey there, baby," she called out to the........... silly unicorn turtle as she approached him.

AN GYM LEADER CHAMPION GATHERING. Whenever, I GUESS AT ERIKA'S PLACE

[natureprincess]

The plan was a bit last minute, to be sure. Erika had sent out simple messages to each of her co-workers. It wasn't really a party, just a little get together that they could come to as they pleased. It would have been hard to believe that they didn't already have plans anyway.

AND SO her place had undergone a slight transformation. There were pumpkins everywhere, with candles and halloweeny cobwebs and the like. WAS THAT TEA you bet that was tea (don't worry, she had some other drinks to match preferences), WAS THAT PIE you bet it was pie. WAS THAT ERIKA THE PIRATE you bet it was Erika the pirate. Yarrrr.

There was also a bowl of candy near the door. Just in case.

Cue Falkner: ruining the party with conversations about his dad

[airmajesty.livejournal.com]

Just in case Falkner's birds were hungry om nom nom

Falkner may not have had much holiday spirit this time of year, but who's to say he didn't enjoy gatherings? Finally! A chance to unwind with his colleagues from back home. Maybe things would start feeling a little more normal? The thought of it felt comfortable. He looked forward to it.

He was first to show up, but alas, he lacked costume. Seeing that Erika was all dressed up, maybe he should have... reconsidered on that one? No changing that now. IT'S NEVER TO LATE FALKNER With a gentle tap, he forced the door open some more, enough to get by. "Good evening, Erika! I'm not too early, am I? ...Wow, you really outdid yourself with the setup."

Shinon's drunk again (closed)

[shiminon]

This was a weekend made for drinking, in Shinon's mind. Hell, let's stack up hangovers or something! That would make for a great Monday morning.

So, while everyone participated in festivities, Shinon sat in his room drinking liquor and having a good time of his own. Partway through, however, he came to the conclusion that he needed some fresh air, so he stumbled out his door and down the halls, exiting the teacher faction and into the dark. There, he would take a walk, he decided, but it was up to the onlookers if the guy could even walk in a straight line.

Re: Shinon's drunk again (closed)

[new-moon-prince.livejournal.com]

No, Shinon couldn't walk in a straight line. A fact Silver observed when the grown man nearly stumbled into him. Though to be fair that could have been avoided if Silver was actually paying attention to his surroundings instead of focusing 110% of his attention trying to get rid of his sudden love for ~Alejandro~ and all of the confusion that came with it.

"Watch it!" It was more towards a startled yelp them him actually being angry about it. Was he annoyed though that his concentration was now broken? Absolutely.

Wandering around the school, evening, totally open

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

So Max had had this costume that he was planning on wearing to the Spooktacular thing that Miss Flurrie always throws but then he got tossed into another costume at the last minute that involved wearing leather underwear. He was fine with the mostly-naked aspect of it, but the leather underwear was less awesome. So it was actual Halloween and while he was too old to go trick-or-treating, he figured he'd better wear his outfit (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/gillikin/SBG/Mac_Max.png).

He wanted to surprise Mac with his outfit, anyway. So he wandered around, seeing what people were doing, showing off his biceps costume.

jshdbfjhasvjhfds pfff 8'D

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

You wanted to surprise Mac? Well here he is. In his very cool costume (http://www.4funparties.com/media/images/ProductImages/F59483.jpg). His pirate costume he achieved during the Halloween party wasn't bad but he had waited to use this one and was quite comfy in it.

He had admittedly been trick or treating. He does not believe he has out grown it yet. He had been recommended to carry the goods in a briefcase to keep the costume authentic and to keep the mood of it, so he's been doing that too.

Then he spotted a...what. What. What. Upon closer inspection he saw that this was...Max. Max dressed as...Mac.

Uh.

He approached Max after waving his arms around and yelling "Hey, Max!". He had a somewhat flabbergasted look on his face.

"Max, man...What's with the costume...?"

Outside: Late at Night

[pink-shroom.livejournal.com]

Peach had finally decided what costume she would pick. And it happened to be this (http://disneyexclusiveonline.com/images/Walt_Disney_Princess_Aurora_By_DisneyExclusiveOnline.jpg). She was hoping to find a group of friends to go trick or treating with. It's childish, yes. But it's part of the fun!

Re: Outside: Late at Night

[electriccharge.livejournal.com]

Nearby, there was a humanized Watt! She was pretty excited to go trick or treating, and a huge part of that was because she could finally dress up as something that she always wanted to go out as, but couldn't do as well in her normal form: a super girly fairy princess (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/Katiecat/FairyPrincessNad.jpg).

It didn't take too long for her to notice Peach, and as soon as she did, she ran over to her as fast as she could. "Hi, Peach!" she called out happily. "Um, I like your costume!"

Teacher dorms, around 10 pm

[will-be-god.livejournal.com]

Cyrus had stayed inside all day. Not only was he grading his students' reports, he was writing up his next lecture. And working on that machine. And perhaps most importantly, he was making sure that any attempted pranks on his person or property would be confronted immediately.

But he felt strange. This was more than feeling sick. It was like no other sensation he had ever had before. Something beyond him was affecting him, and finding out what it was was more important than making sure his door wasn't egged.

He eased out into the hallway, leaving Houndoom and Crobat behind to watch the apartment.

Re: Teacher dorms, around 10 pm

[terrible-fates.livejournal.com]

The hallway was dark, eerie and quiet. Perhaps too quiet. At the far end of the hallway was the silhouette of a small child, unmoving, but staring right at Cyrus.

P-p-p-parking lot, nighttimes. Bother Falcon thread oh yeaah.

[raced_god]

At least it wasn't zombies this time.

Close enough, though. He hadn't expected a normal Halloween, but Ghor coming back from the dead had certainly put a damper on things. Falcon had left Samus and the new arrival at the hangars, partially to give them some (probably) much-needed alone time, and partially to head back to the firehouse and pick up a few things, if he couldn't find them in the autoshop garage first. Mostly scanners and other such things, to make one-hundred-percent certain that Ghor wasn't carrying anything they wouldn't want in the school. Even if he wasn't corrupted, they couldn't be too careful. Falcon wanted to make sure everything was perfectly okay and functional before the cyborg decided to interface with anything.

He was perhaps a conspicuous sight, walking across the parking lot with a chainsaw for an arm, but still being dressed in a Halloween costume was the least of his concerns.

Tempted.

Falcon received one basket of honey from one mysteriously... manly bee.

Near the campus gates!

[pinkgingham.livejournal.com]

Sable had said before that she was going to dress up as something different for Halloween this year - and she did! She did have a costume all planned out that she wore throughout the day and attempted to wear during the cafe night (if it wasn't for some kind of magical powers changing her costume).

However, here she was, donned in her Jack costume (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/Katiecat/jack_288x288.jpg), about to go out into the city to do some trick or treating. She couldn't help it! She loved getting free candy! Besides, with this costume and with her size, people usually thought that she was just a little kid instead of a grown adult, so it made the process a lot less awkward. As she started towards getting out of the campus, she was hoping that she'd get a nice amount of candy.

Please don't steal my candy and shove a jackbox in my pocket

Naval passed by on the way to see Kamek but couldn't help but smile and awwwww at how cute that Pumpkin head is!

Around the school, most of the night. (open)

[ghostly-nyx.livejournal.com]

Nyx was surprisingly scarce tonight. In fact, if one were to go looking for her, it would seem as if she'd disappeared from the school altogether. If a person was unlucky enough, though, they might encounter something strange around the school tonight.
It's a little hard to pin down what it is unless you have a silph scope but no matter what it seems to be at the moment, it's unsettling at least.
