Mini Event Mingle: Halloween is Coming to Town

Halloween has been officially adopted as a holiday in Ellipsa. So the Summer Guild Leader, Dawn, has arranged a three day party to celebrate it. She has gotten a lot of people involved to make it as fun as possible! They are held at all of the guilds (Frostreign, Blossomcrown, Solarpeak, Amberfall).

All of the guilds are now connected through a mirror path. However, the paths have been made longer with the help of Riki's Rewards, so the journey from Guild A to Guild B isn't instant! Instead people will encounter the spooky corridor, full of silly ways to spook someone such as randomly appearing skeletons and ghosts. Usually these are just fake props or people hiding under a sheet - but occasionally there's an actual skeleton around and taking off his head to cite Shakespeare.

The aesthetics of the corridor change depending on what guilds it connects together. All of them are made to be spooky right now, but originally they were made to work as actual methods of traveling between the guilds, so it's not everything there is. The night skies with a creepy red full moons are just temporary!

At the guilds, all of the natives have dressed up in different costumes and are encouraging people to pick their own costume from the costume room setup. Unfortunately, some very mischievous fairies have gotten into the room undetected and may cast a spell that makes someone act like they're the character the costume represents.

There's also an option to get a random costume if someone feels daring.

Otherwise it's a party filled with different kinds of Halloween appropriate food and drinks. Cookies that look like skeletons, pudding made to look like brains, drinks that look like blood and so on. Even the actual food has somehow been made to look creepy.

By the end of the evening, anyone who hasn't screamed because they were scared will be gifted a special potion called shared bravery. It lets the user to share their bravery with others around them for five hours.

Happy Halloween!


OOC TIPS

No... don't worry.

[In no time, they've reached the too-big, overgrown pumpkins, and the boy takes a seat. Shouto, of course, more tattered scarecrow than boy. Though when he speaks, he keeps himself from looking at Rinku directly. He looks a fright.]

What kind of mission did you take?

[He asks, but there's the impression that an answer's an option. He's fine to sit.]
roundandaround: Confused. (eh?)

[She's not really looking either, just cuddling her confused Pokémon.]

I made a promise. A deal. Because I wanted to prove myself to my friends. So I took a high-risk quest. [sniff] It went better than the last time I tried one. I didn't panic. I didn't almost turn to stone. Even when they trapped me in a shadow thingy, it was like they were trying to do something but it wouldn't work. It wasn't as bad as other people have had. But...

But I keep on seeing the... you know, how gross it was. Monster parts everywhere, and my quest partner getting impaled even if he was fine. I almost got impaled if it weren't for my armour and all the magic protection stuff I had. I still don't wanna stop because I should get used to this, I wanna help everyone! But I'm scared.

[Well, that's shady. He takes it in, but there's a point where she seems distressed, and Shouto does seem ticked off. Their network chats were telling enough. This girl's a DJ. "Civilian". Even Shouto, who's left battlefields colored in guts, isn't immune as he looks. Though, it's true he's poor at giving comfort, too. There's still an instant where taking a hand does occasionally cross his thoughts. Here, now, he doesn't move; but Rinku may catch the twitch before his fingers curl, mime it. He's walked past corpses; followed a man he's pledged complete, unwavering loyalty to.

That's Bushido. And yet... and still—]


Don't. [Putting it softly, dipping his eyes because his Lich isn't make-up-] Don't... get used to something like that...

[He says, but there's the horrible, realization that he's growing numb, too; that he's much worse.]

There's more to combat than blood on your hands. But that sympathy's still your strength—you don't forget, you don't hurt others just to hurt; you understand what it's taking away-

[And more than that,]

I don't "know" you; we've barely just met; but listening to you before, I doubt you've "half-assed" anything once, [to borrow a phrase from someone he knows-], so you'd probably give it your all if you're asked. You did your best with what you've been given... I'd think...

[He thinks of the man who gifts him sweets; mint-green stars which glow in the dark; his gifted sword immersed in blood. How sensei feels-]

You're a kid, but you still fight. So, I definitely know that look on your face. "If I don't get stronger, they'll leave me behind. Everyone's growing except for me"- But friends don't leave each other behind; and there's definitely nothing to prove here, either. Friends get stronger, side-by-side, so... Even if we're not really friends-

[He knows it's awkward, and still:]

Why don't you... train with me sometime?

[Less fear; more preparation.]

We could ask sensei for help.
roundandaround: Chided. (uguu)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2024-11-12 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rinku's eyes widen. She didn't think she was still a kid -- she's 18 now, and Ellipsa's age of majority is 16 anyway -- but the other stuff is more important. Don't get used to something like that. Just...]

You sound like Neechan...

[Rinku sniffs. She wipes her eyes on her sleeve again.]

You're right. I've been training really hard with her, but I keep getting scared that everyone else is growing and I'm not. That I won't be good enough and no one will believe in me or want my help.

And... I thought we were friends.

[She thinks everyone is.]

[personal profile] itsmypower 2024-11-12 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh... oh, no-]

Sorry, I- [put it all wrong.] I know a guy— He's always yelling how we're not friends, that I'm dense and a bother and things like that; so it's more that I thought "I'm assuming too much..." That maybe we weren't as close as I'd thought, trying to avoid that mistake...

[And doesn't he always make mistakes?]

But even through music, you've helped me a lot- So it's just something you might overlook; supportive tactics and things like that... As much as everyone's needed your help, it's just that I think they're protecting you, too, whether or not it's something you'd want.

[Which is to say:]

We want your help in the way you can give it.
roundandaround: Shamed. (i said i was sorry)

[Rinku sniffles. She cuddles Mecchan and Hina as they calm down. (Really, more Mecchan, Hina is just confused.)]

I don't wanna fail. And I'm no good at making plans and smart stuff, even though I work hard at it. I know people who don't fight are helping too, I really do! But even if I'm scared, I still want to fight. I've been working really hard, I promise...

[gulp]

Thank you. I didn't wanna mess up.

[This is tough. It seems unfair to her so much, and he's terrified it'd land the girl in real troubles, but... It's not his life; Rinku's saying she won't be stopped, and nevermind he's never truly consoled a friend, either. He "mostly" fights; his friends like fights; he's bad with words, and so he digs a second too long for some semblance of reassurance. It's too painful... Shallow, artificial "warmth" would surely only make things worse.

In the end, he drags little, dry wood sticks to set alight with his Quirk. Makeshift camp.]


Right... You've been working as hard as any of us.

[Despite the fear.]

But you won't fail. If we're friends, we're allies first, so-

[It isn't much, but he does toss candies for each of the Pokémon, too. Onibi's sweets.]

I'll be sure to rely on you too, if it's fine.
roundandaround: Watching wide-eyed. (so many new things)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2024-11-16 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Hina dives for the candy snd squeaks happily. Mecchan nervously hides before poking his head out and approaching the other candy.

Rinku gulps, hesitates, and hugs Shouto tightly.]


Are you okay?

[That it's contact at all—quiet, unassumingly comforting as it comes—strikes him surprising, regardless.

This is Rinku; and warm, kindly attached but whom he "doesn't know", he thinks. He nearly jumps, and he looks so startled that maybe it's easily mistaken for something worse. But who would hold him but Hijikata? He's never asked, even if others still exist and Shouto shyly avoids them, too. It's only sensei—sitting back-to-back, like boys—who's patting his shoulders from time to time. His warmth's a hand, tousling his hair until its strands mix and match. A bag of sweets.

His arms go up. Drape too softly around her shoulders; mirroring her too.]


Me? [Stupid question. Dumb, dumb...] Isn't this backwards, a little?

[And who's helping who, again?]

I'm the one who's supposed to ask.

[Sorry, sorry...]
roundandaround: Worriedly playing with a straw. (you think?)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2024-11-18 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rinku sniffs. She laughs a little and shakes her head.]

It just felt like you were scared too, of something. So I didn't wanna make it worse.
itsmypower: (Question)

[personal profile] itsmypower 2024-11-18 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is he that obvious? Ah. His arms stay put, though he's looking at Rinku like a lost, stray cat. It's almost calm.]

I'm not. [Lying a little. A Hero reassures. Always.]

You'd naturally worry about your friends, right? So, I can too.

["Never you mind, Rinku!"]

What about you? ...Any better?
roundandaround: Smiling at Leon on her shoulder. (friend to all)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2024-11-19 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
I think so. I'm just gonna try not to look at the food. I bet it's fun for other people, so maybe if I see them being happy, I won't feel bad?
itsmypower: (Small Suggestion)

[personal profile] itsmypower 2024-11-27 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rinku...]

Don't think you have to force yourself. [Not with food; not for missions or any reasons, he thinks.]

I'll be here.

[Just camping out!]
roundandaround: Pointing in confusion at herself. (who me)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2024-11-27 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[Rinku smiles. Mecchan blows a bubble and cautiously smiles too; this person seems nice.

She takes a deep breath and goes back into the room.]
