[EVENT] 'Tis the Spooky Season...

Autumn is drawing on in the Velvet Room and its environs. The days are colder, the nights are crisper, leaves are a riot of colour ready to fall from the trees. And (besides all the pumpkin spice popping up for some reason) that means only one thing: Hallowe'en!

As the season approaches, you may undergo a mysterious transformation. Perhaps you wake up with wings, or hooves, or gills! Or perhaps your transformation will change more, go deeper... perhaps to your very soul. Who can tell? You might wake up as an animal, or a mythological creature. Or as anything at all.

Transformations will reverse on the morning of November 1st. Probably.

In the meantime, Destinyland is celebrating the holiday. Cheerful Jack-o'-Lantern Shadows have set up on street corners, handing out flyers advertising the park's seasonal festivities. In the days leading up to the 31st, Destinyland will host all the usual fun: Hallowe'en games, Trick or Treat for the babies (and the not-so-babey), the Gorb fortune teller, Shadow-run food stalls serving spooky meals and treats, and, of course, the haunted house with its array of friendly, candy-giving Shadows. Or maybe they're not so friendly.

On the night of Hallowe'en itself, there will be a parade at the park and a grand party out in the main square with food, music, and plenty of space, though characters are not obliged to attend. However, if you wish to show off your new form, see what transformations have been wrought on your fellow guests, or simply take the chance to celebrate, it may be a good opportunity...

Who knows? Perhaps you'll even see some special guests.

[ooc: Welcome to our second Halloween event! This post will serve as a mingle for the duration of the event. Feel free to invite friends to play as guest characters, too! There will be a toplevel, and guest characters are simply whisked into the setting to engage in festivities, with a slight ghostly aura. For an example, see the thread here from last year!]

"There's no way he's going to listen to any of us," he says while sulking.

Before a thought crosses his mind.

"Do you think that on Christmas he can be visited by three spirits?"

"He should. In fact, all the attendants should."

He pauses.

"Except Theodore-san. He's really just along for the ride, and if Margaret-san is here, she's generally fairly level-headed."

Another pause follows.

"...So just Igor and Elizabeth."

"There's no need to defend the others. They all still willingly serve that man, without questions."

"I suppose it's my attachment to the versions of them back home. The Igor-san and the Velvet Room attendants I'm familiar with are quite kind."

But that Velvet Room and this Velvet Room differ, obviously. His current state is proof enough of that.

"So... uh..."

He tries to not be rude.

"How... does it feel?"

"...I smell a lot of things I know I wouldn't before. My hearing's significantly better, too." An ear flicks. "Also, adjusting to an entirely new limb is strange."

His tail swishes too.

"Any downsides so far?"

He was glad to see that Raven was taking it rather well.

"...Mostly instincts. Plus, I highly suspect showering is going to be a pain in the ass."

He gestures at himself. All that fur. Wet fur sounds... eugh. He makes a face.

Ken winces sympathetically. That doesn't sound pleasant.

Then a funny idea pops up in his head.

"Should you even shower? Don't cats need to lick themselves to get clean?" he joked.

Raven's face crumples up at the mere suggestion, ears folding back and tail swishing.

"I realize that's normal for cats, but I have little interest in licking my own body, least of all between my toes." He knows cats do that, okay?

"I wasn't being serious," he answers while laughing. "But the look on your face was priceless. It's burned in my memory forever now, sorry!"

His tail swishes in irritation. Damn it, Ken! "At least Yu isn't here to behold this. If he did, I'd never truly live it down."

"Don't worry, I won't tell him if he arrives here one day. That'll remain between us."
