[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!]

I wouldn't want to trouble you. I'm certain I'll find my way out soon enough.

It is a fascinating experience though, the ability to send messages has become absolutely seamless. I simply need to think of what I want to to say, and then the words appear on the screen.

I can clearly see the screen as well, it's very surreal.

I appreciate the thought. Thank you very much, Drake.

I hadn't thought of it in such terms, but I suppose that is the best way to describe it. To become a cellphone is quite an experience. I'm not certain it's one I would recommend though, given my inability to do anything except the phone's usual functions.

I could most likely scour the internet if I desired, but I'm somewhat concerned about what would happened if I found a virus or malware... or perhaps found myself traveling through the internet itself by accident. Of course, the internet here isn't the same as the internet at home, but that only makes me more wary in regards to where I may end up.

I suppose I can see the appeal of it, especially experiencing it myself.

And no, currently I don't. Truth be told, I wish I could experience some of the things I experienced in my everyday life. I would certainly love some crepes for example, but alas, I don't have the ability to eat or enjoy their taste.

I never realized how I took something as simple as eating for granted.
