November Mash
Who: Open Log (All)
Where: City and Velvet Room
Summary: A small log before things get a little darker...
Warnings: N/A
A-1
As the last days for crops slowly come to pass, Pont-a-Tarte lives up to its name, hosting a gigantic pie competition. While the main attraction is, of course, the giant pumpkin pie made with over ten gigantic pumpkins, there are booths selling maple, sugar, apple and pecan pies as well. Sometimes said pies are thrown in someone's face...but all in the name of good fun. You signed up for this, right?
A-2
A pumpkin carving contest is also underway! There are monetary prizes, but originality is what the inhabitants are looking for the most. The stranger (and spooky!) the idea, the better the prizes.
A-3
There are costume contests as well and a carnival at night. Will you join in? Maybe you'll take inspiration from your own world? However... you may notice something rather strange - at night you'll be able to change into your rebel costume when no one is watching. Not stuck in a dream is strange enough, but the fact that others wearing costumes don't seem to think odd of it means it truly is some sort of magical night... Too bad you can't use your personas or move around with the usual dexterity.
A-4
The only one who seem to really care are the numbers of cats around...most of them start rubbing on you the moment you are in your “costume” and it becomes difficult to move around. The minute the costume disappears, they move off,
Where: City and Velvet Room
Summary: A small log before things get a little darker...
Warnings: N/A
One would think on the darkest night something terrible would happen. You would think wrong. Perhaps it was a sort of irony that caused Halloween and All Hallows' Day to happen without incident, but a strange feeling tells you that something might be up soon enough...
... however right now the city is in celebration, and honestly even Luci and at least one of the Velvets are encouraging celebration.

SPOOKY SCARY PUMPKINS

Coins and Pranks...
B-1
Not to be outdone by the city, the Rebels’ phones will ring on November 1st, asking them to bring the pumpkins they might have done the day before so that they can be judged. Of course the Velvets are very... strange, so what might have won first prize might just be seen as a feeble attempt. However, there are prizes to be won, so it might be worth even to carve a new one! To be honest, they seem pretty pleased with anything...
Well... William seems pleased. Mary may seem a little lost with the whole affair, but soldiering on with her usual straight-laced efficiency.
(OOC - Pyro Jack’s/Jack Frost’s coins will be award to anyone who participates. Keep these in hand... they might be useful later. On a somewhat strange note the outside, while covered in bluish foil, peels to reveal a piece of chocolate... however, the layer of chocolate is very small and it's actually a golden coin inside.)
B-2
Not to be outdone by the city and the Velvets, Luci's asked the rebels to participate in his fun little contest too -- by which he means, “show me where you leave your rotten pumpkins and prank someone in the city.” But are you sure you even want a prize from him?
OOC - This is a small, fun log, but brace yourselves as plot logs are coming soon and a few new announcements! Use this as a small breather and have fun!

[A costume party...while he's still a bit uncomfortable with masks and costumes and the like, it's good to try and be better, isn't it? And it's all fun and games this time. Not a bit supernatural (....as life here goes, at least), and it's what would be expected of Lonán to attend. Perhaps it's something he got from his mother, but if Jun is going to attend a party...he's going to turn heads.
He doesn't have qualms about wearing skirts or makeup, after all. He's more beautiful than most women when he tries. The dress is avian in nature, something of a "crow queen" inspiration, all feathers and dramatically flowing fabric. ...It's freeing, to pretend he's someone else completely. Lets him escape the actual question.
This doesn't mean he isn't still a wallflower, drifting around the party edges trying not to stay in too much contact with any of Lonán's friends. Awkward.]
[A4]
[Some of the quieter avenues are great for wallflowers! And it's here he discovers he can shift to his battle outfit. And back. This merits investigating.
He'll be wandering about testing - perhaps in a crowd, seeing if anyone notices. Or back out of the main thoroughfares, seeing how much of a response he can get from Shax. ...And then, possibly, buried in cats.]
Cats again... [Hm. Is that relevant? He might need to call Tatsuya for help if they keep up like this...]
A3
[He catches Jun's eye as he wallflowers, because Ken is sticking to the edges, too. ... There's partly the issue that everyone here is too tall to not knock into him. It's stupid.]
no subject
He makes his way over - better to not seem alone for too long, that occasionally attracts unwanted company. And hopefully the other will get knocked around less with someone else nearby. Hm, now...how to approach? Maybe just....the oldest and simplest ice breaker ever.]
I like your costume.
no subject
Um... yeah. I just threw some stuff together... I thought it looked neat...
[He didn't, he has no idea why this is his outfit here, but he's not going to complain. It's kind of cool...]
no subject
[Not every day someone as (probably) young as this dresses up in something that isn't some specific character or creature. Something more refined and enigmatic.]
no subject
[It looks like something Chidori would make... he misses her badly. She'd help him figure things out...]
It must have taken a long time to get those feathers right.
no subject
[Because being Black Falcon again would....hurt, but be nostalgic and familiar. But where would he even look for the appropriate pieces?]
no subject
[He's missing so many episodes right now...]
no subject
It's the same for me. I could manage the black bird theme, but...that's all. [He doesn't expect his own to mean anything; he's well accustomed to the idea that only he and Tatsuya are from their world.... Eikichi folded, after all.]
no subject
A bird, huh... I would have made a red bird if I could have, but... I can't make costumes.
[He glances over the costume again. Is it... hm.]
Though I think a condor might have fit the black feathers better for that...
[Not like he knows anything about fashion.]
no subject
For now, corvids will do. [They're intelligent birds.]
no subject
[It's stolen TV service, so that's kind of part of the deal.]
But crows are neat, I guess. Even if they can be jerks. They'll steal your food.

It was the only option that wasn't a mask. He knew he had to live with it.
When he sees Jun he looks away biting his lip. Even now it was hard to speak with him..]
Jun.
[Wait...]
Why are you?...
no subject
...Tatsuya. What are you wearing. Next time let him dress you or something, that looks ridiculous.
Perhaps, if his false life hadn't kept him too busy to pay attention to much else in the last few months, he would have noticed a little more about how Tatsuya struggles when they're together now. As it is, he's just glad for the moments they do meet.]
Tatsuya. [He'll...he'll get to answering the question when he's through the surge of emotion that always comes with these moments.]
no subject
[Each time it's hard. He so sorry, Jun. Coughing, he looks around before a cat tries to jump on him to ruin the moment.]
...hey!
[Why did his brother like these so much...]
no subject
Although the furry throng is...a bit of a hindrance. And it'll do to answer, too - he shifts from his battle clothes to the costume he wore tonight. The cats immediately show less interest.]
How have you been?
no subject
I've been...[...]...okay.
[WOW DEEP TALK. GREAT. AWESOME.]
no subject
I'm glad. [Close enough to touch, now - not crossing that barrier yet, but ready to.] Did the lemon balm and lavender work?
no subject
They did! [his voiced almost cracked as he said that, like giving himself a single moment of happiness before he returns to his usual, deeper voice. or trying too anyway.] Thank you. They've been mostly outside now.
no subject
[He got to help Tatsuya, things are looking up.]
no subject
Nah...]
So I could leave them outside too...
[He thinks about this before adding...]
I think it might work at home too...even if my mother seems to love the cats a lot.
[He did have family here. He remembered nice things about them.
It was weird.]
no subject
Yes, that should work. Not all cats will be deterred, but you shouldn't be swarmed like that again.
[...A mother. So Tatsuya has a family here - not his own, obviously, but a family. It would be nice if it were a normal, happy family.]
Does she? Perhaps you should adopt one?
no subject
[Yet even as he scoffs at the idea, even as his hand is petting the kitten on his elbow. You are saying one thing and doing another, Tatsuya.]

Unfortunately, what he doesn't know was his antler-like collar is quickly caught on Jun's feathers from his costume.]
A4
[Parties were a Mistake (tm). Chikusa finds that he's already exhausted, and, if not for advertising the opening of his new cafe at a few places, would likely never have come in the first place.]
[But here he is! Reluctantly. Dressing up had seemed like too much work, so he's simply here wearing a plain black mask over matching turtleneck and slacks.]
[...Well, a little less matching now, with all the cat hair that's gathered on them, although thankfully they don't seem much interested him right now. Not with Jun as he is. Behind the mask, Chikusa blinks lethargically.]
