[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 don't think he ever partook, himself. It was definitely about the 'swear bloody vengeance on all the people of London'. But no, not particularly. There's a... thriving cannibal community in Hell, so it's something you have to get used to, but... no, that's not a concern."

He paused to consider. "May have done an amount of biting, during a fight, but I don't think that counts."

"What, with your beak? Did you peck people too?"

He cupped his chin thoughtfully. "I haven't tried, but I'm guessing I could take an eye out. Something to keep in mind if I'm ever in a grapple. No, it, uh... was during a fight, and I was a little too hurt and mad to make sound tactical decisions, there was an angel near my face, and I just... reacted. Turns out beaks are sharp as fuck."

"That could be a sound tactical decision. If you bite them enough."

As he talks, he lifts a hand to poke his horns thoughtfully. They aren't exactly facing the right direction for stabbing people, but he could probably do an extra-good headbutt right now. Things to consider...

"Very possibly. Though now morbid curiosity strikes... if you can breathe fire like a dragon, am I as fireproof to that as I am to mundane flame...? Probably a bad idea to test it. How've things been, here? I've been gone for over half a year, on my end."
