November Mash

Who: Open Log (All)
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

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,

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...]

A-3. Costume Time?

[While Augustine has no plans to join any costume-related events, he didn't expect he even wears one. Namely, when he was washing up in a restroom in Green Valley, his eyes widen when he finds himself wearing his Rebellion clothes. Now, this is very strange. There are no signs of Shadows, yet he was able to change his clothes. He even noticed that he isn't able to summon his Persona, which was a good thing since it might scare most of the trick-or-treaters.

At any case, you may see him in this outfit for the whole night. In fact, you may even mistake him for joining a costume contest.]

[There's someone else at this party, and he does not look very pleased here. He's young, but this party doesn't really have alcohol. Instead, the young man has a doglike mask with a trenchcoat. It... doesn't really go together as a costume might, but it's not like he has a Featherman costume or anything...]

[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.]

[Ah, the pain of being small at crowded events. Jun remembers his mother having a few house parties that put him in a similar position. Not half as well-dressed, though, he approves of the kid's style.

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.
miseris_socios: (blankly)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2017-11-05 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[... Nice one, Jun. But it does get Ken to look up a little bit in surprise.]

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...]
onlythankyou: (I'm in love with tricks)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-05 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
You pull it off well. Very dramatic and elegant.

[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.]

miseris_socios: (huh?)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2017-11-05 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah. Your costume's... really good, too.

[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.
onlythankyou: (It's him who said)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Somewhat, yes... [It's been a good distraction, honestly. There's entirely too much to question about his existence for his liking, right now.] ...Honestly, there's...another costume I'd rather wear, but I'm afraid few here would know the character.

[Because being Black Falcon again would....hurt, but be nostalgic and familiar. But where would he even look for the appropriate pieces?]
miseris_socios: (Default)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2017-11-05 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
... I had the same feeling. But I couldn't find any stores selling it. It's not broadcast here anyway, I think... it was where I came from.

[He's missing so many episodes right now...]
onlythankyou: (It's him who said)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-05 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Interesting phrasing.]

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.]
miseris_socios: (standing proud)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2017-11-05 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[... That's interesting...]

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.]
onlythankyou: (But at arm's length)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-05 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Condor? [Hm. Did something change? As long as he still exists, then there are still remnants of his world...it's not unfeasible that their reboot caused other small changes... But that's assuming that they really are both talking about Featherman.] I think...a black falcon would suit me better. Though it has been a very long time since I've seen an episode of that show.

For now, corvids will do. [They're intelligent birds.]
miseris_socios: (hey!)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2017-11-05 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been a little bit since I've seen it. Our TV service can be kind of... spotty.

[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.
onlythankyou: (Default)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-05 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Things were....hectic, last I was in a position to watch. [Nazi invasions will do that.] I'm afraid I'll probably never get a chance to watch it again.

They're smart enough to recognize faces, so if befriended you could probably teach them to attack your enemies, assuming you have any. [This may or may not mean Jun actually tried this at some point.]
miseris_socios: (blankly)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2017-11-05 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[They kind of will, yes.]

I'd like that, but the people against us are usually out when crows aren't. I'll see if I can figure something out, though.

[Stupid SEES...]
onlythankyou: (It's him who said)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-05 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm certain you'll come up with something. Adversity has a way of being fought, and sometimes conquered.

[He's rooting for you. He knows nothing about whatever conflict the younger boy is referencing, but this doesn't mean he can't wish him well.

But he's also not so optimistic or idealistic as to say adversity will always be conquered. He's been burned too many times for that.]
miseris_socios: (weapon of choice)

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2017-11-05 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Plus, if they're being distracted, they can't get in our way as much.

[Not that crows are awake in the Dark Hour, but whatever.]

Oh. Uh. I'm... Riki. Riki Itsumi.

[It's still weird to use that as a name. It's not right. But he has no idea if this guy is one of them or not.]
onlythankyou: (It's him who said)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-05 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the spirit. A little sabotage isn't that bad. [Jun, no.]

...Lonán. Lonán Knightley. [It's not his name but it is his name but it also wasn't his name and thinking about it too hard just leaves him running in the same circles he attended this party to escape. So it leaves with a little distaste, but he's always been good at hiding that kind of thing.] A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[personal profile] miseris_socios 2017-11-05 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
... Nice to meet you, too.

[He tugs at his trenchcoat. It's a little weird to wear this, but it's not... uncomfortable.]

I'm a sixth year in the primary cycle. It's... I was a new transfer this semester.
onlythankyou: (Default)

holy crap email replies what

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-06 01:41 am (UTC)(link)

Then welcome to the school. I'm in the higher cycle...I skipped a year or two. [Talking about his life here feels...wrong. All of it is impermanent, Romulus Folding proved that.] Not that grades mean much of anything.

[Nothing here does.]

[Speaking of which...there he is and Tatsuya seems to have 'dressed up' with his chief's outfit. The only difference is a pair of glasses and mustache...which he actually got for free from an excited costume contest people.

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?...
onlythankyou: (I'm in love with tricks)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-06 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks up from the cats almost before Tatsuya even says anything. Shax can't sense other Persona-users like Chronos could, but he doesn't need that. Not for this particular Persona-user.

...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.]

[personal profile] cantforget 2017-11-06 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hi...

[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...]
onlythankyou: (Default)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-11-06 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He wades through the cat swarm to get closer. He aches for their meetings.

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?
cantforget: (2)

[personal profile] cantforget 2017-11-06 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Tatsuya does too but he can't help but feel a guilt. He almost looks relieved when most of the cats leave and he's just left with this little kitten still standing on his shoulder.]

I've been...[...]...okay.

[WOW DEEP TALK. GREAT. AWESOME.]
