[EVENT] 'Tis the Spooky Season...

[vrdr_mods]

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!]

"They do. It's a common greeting, really." Scritch, scritch... Enjoy the claws, Ren.

[unfoggedlotus]

He is! Enjoying the claws. "Ahuh...I didn't do it to anyone else, right?"

[fogbornphantom]

"If you did, I wouldn't know." Scritch, scritch...

Hiro can't help but snicker. "Imagine if you did it to Magpie..."

a little backtagging never hurt anyone right

[unfoggedlotus]

"Oh, god." Oh, god. "I hope I didn't. I still have a tongue, right? He didn't rip it out of my mouth?"

[fogbornphantom]

"You're still speaking, aren't you?" Goro leans in, cupping Ren's cheek in his hand. "It's all right, Ren."

[unfoggedlotus]

Ren lets out a sigh. "I guess..." He nudges his nose into the hand.

[fogbornphantom]

Oh, goodness. Hiro giggles at the sight. "Trying to get a good sniff?"

[unfoggedlotus]

Ren blinks. "Wait..." He removes his nose from Goro's hand. He wants to...bonk.

"I think I wanna be...booped."

[fogbornphantom]

...Heh. Goro chuckles, then happily obliges. "Canine instincts truly are something."

Hiro joins in with a giggle. "You're adorable."

[unfoggedlotus]

Boop, boop...snoot is booped! Ren's mouth opens wide in a toothy grin. "Awesome. Love you guys!"

[fogbornphantom]

"We love you too, obviously..." But Goro can't resist giving Ren a little scritch. "Though it's awfully funny to see you so dog-like."

[unfoggedlotus]

"Love you guys..." Ren chuckles at the scritch. "I dunno...I feel more...free? Right now." He reaches out to touch Goro's nearest monster feature.

[fogbornphantom]

"Well, that's far from a bad thing." Heh... Goro tips his head down, so Ren can enjoy those horns of his.

Hiro, meanwhile, looks back at his six wings. "...I'm going to have to figure out how to fly with these."
