[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!]

"Something like that," he huffs, "as if it works that way."

He gives a proper look at the other dragon, something itching at his brain from his earlier encounter with Frog.

"... You're Drake, I take it?"

"Yeah." He grimaces in sympathy. "Igor's a son of a bitch. And yep, that's me. What gave it away? The horns, the fire...?"

He's teasing, but he is actually curious to know if there's more to it.

"Only a little," he hums, and takes a drag from his cigarette. "I met Frog earlier. He mentioned you... and Igor's penchant for hilarity."

He rolls his eyes at that last bit with a huff. Yeah yeah, it's all real funny.

"It wasn't hard to figure out after that."

"Oh. Yeah. That's me, Igor's favorite chewtoy."

But he brightens again the next second. "What did he say about me?"

"Ah, not much, we moved on quickly. Mostly just that you were a dragon, too." He goes to scratch the back of his head- only to bonk his hand into a horn. He hisses, pulling it back and glaring at it in betrayal. "Damn horns," he murmurs.

"Either way-" he continues, "he seemed to like you. That's the sense I got."
