Happy Haunts Materialize

WHO: Arthur and friends
WHERE: The giant castle in the clouds, just outside Birchepointe
WHEN: Halloween
OPEN/CLOSED: Open
PROSE OR BRACKETS: Brackets
WARNINGS: CAUSE THIS IS THRILLER, THRILLER NIIIGHT

[It was that time again, All Hallow's Eve did come across the city of Birchepointe. Everyone dressed in costume, trick or treating, or staying up late watching scary movies. And the most fun of all, people were throwing Halloween Parties. Such as the case for Arthur who decided to host a party for all his friends.

Arthur sent out the invitation to all the people he met and were friends with. Or even was just friendly respected. Arthur thought it might be a good idea considering his castle might as well be a huge mansion considering it's on scale for giant sized people.

The castle was up in the clouds, decorated in the most spooky of Halloween things. With bats, pumpkins, cute ghosts and black cat decorations. It really wasn't all that scary looking considering most of the things he had decorated might as well look like something for kids. But it's what he had, plus he personally found some of the actual scary stuff too spooky even for him.

Along the stoney path from the beanstalk there was a giant door to the castle has a little one on the bottom for regular size folks to enter. Which might as well be everyone. There were step ladders and cavoyer belts all over the place to help people get around the castle with ease. If not, find your host Arthur. He's easy to spot, he's the giant ghostbuster. He'll be happy to help you reach something that might be too tall for you.

So explore the place, mingle, have fun! This a Halloween party after all!]

[The place was nicely decorated with halloween stuff. There was a buffet table with candy and chairs. Both giant sized and regular sized for guests. There was a giant punch bowl with apples inside. Someone should tell Arthur that's not quite right for apple dunking, but A for effort? There's also a large TV (small for Giants) showing some spooky movies.]

[Arthur can really be found anywhere in the house. But usually you'll see him here regularly to greet the guests and check up on everything. He's dressed up in a handmade Ghostbusters costume, yup he even has a light up Proton Pack. Obviously not real, but he wanted to go as something fun and cute this year. Also yes, I know, insert Stay Puft Marshmallow Man joke, believe me man he's heard them all.]

[There was one guest that Arthur probably knew was lurking around. One guest that loved to surprise others, which was easy given her small stature. And her costume was a very interesting one - black cape, black mask over her eyes and hair, and coming Arthur's way, very sneakily. She was definitely gonna get the jump on him this time. She was sure he'd like her costume, too.]

[Being the giant that he is, he did indeed did not see this little batgirl sneaking up on him. As he was in the living room he took the time to bent over to arrange some of the candy bars with in the cauldron on the regular sized table.]

[Sneaking up onto a height where she could more easily surprise him, she eventually leaps towards him, making a face and a sound.]

I've gotcha now!

[Arthur let out a noise indeed he was surprised, but as soon as he saw it was Vanellope he pretended to fall over so she can tackle him better. Letting out a playful laugh and giggle.]

Noooo, you got me~!

[She can't help giggling as well. She knew he fell over to play along, but it was still fun.]

I got you~! [She grinned wide, before trying to hug him as best she could - but as always, it wasn't easy. Still, it's the thought that counts, right?]

[He chuckled as he gently patted her in the hug, with his fingers.]

Haha oh noooo~!

[Grins down at her.]

It's great to see you made it Vanellope! What a cool costume you have on too!

[Ruby, because ofcourse she is, had dressed up as Little Red Riding hood. With cute country lolita style dress, and just look fairy tale precious in her outfit. She was looking around the buffet table lookin at all the candy. All of them looked so good, must try ALL the candy! Stuffing a chocolate bar or two into mouth, very lady like this one.]

[Nic was hanging out in the living room at the moment, in what's potentially an actual scary icon. His face had been smudged with zombie-like makeup and he had added illusory design to make it look like he had a gaping, fang-filled mouth that stretched from ear to ear, as well as white coloring around his eyes to make them seem like they glowed.

He was also wearing tattered clothing, all browns and blacks, and his antlers were covered in bone white, enough that in the darker lights they seemed to glow. Finally, he was wearing gloves that gave him long claws on black hands, and had a long, bedraggled fur tail attached.

Costume? Wendigo.]

[Arthur walked by as he saw Nic.]

Oh Nic-

[Almost trips as he does a double take. His eyes widen.]

Whooooooa, that is CREEPY, but cool!

[Kneels down.]

That is AWESOME dude!

[He looked up, grinning and waving.]

Thanks! I figured make use of my antlers while I still had 'em, right?

[He giggles.]

Well it works very effectively.

[Jokingly pokes him with his fake proton pack valve.]

Careful now, you got a Ghostbuster in front of you too.

[He laughed, putting his hands up.]

Hey don't worry, I'll be good. No eating anybody I promise.

[Chuckles as he puts away the valve.]

Well good, better you eat some of the food we have instead anyway.

We have like a ton... I-I uh, might have gotten enthusiastic on the cooking.

Look at it this way, at least you'll have plenty left for later?

Play your cards right, you may even have Thanksgiving in the bag.

[Laughs a bit as he rubbed the back of his neck.]

You're right... Gosh it's just... It's nice to be able to invite everyone to my place.

I-If this party goes well I wouldn't mind hosting one for Thanksgiving too.

I don't see why not? It'd be a nice atmosphere, I'm sure everyone would love coming here for Thanksgiving.

R-Really? You think so?

[He smiled wide. Feeling so happy he has friends who care about him and actually would come over and have fun with him.]

I would love to have them too!

[He giggles.]

Oh Nic! Now that you're here, what would you like to do first?

I think so, yeah!

[He put his hands on his hips, shrugging slightly.]

I dunno, I haven't had much of a chance to look around yet. What's the options?

[Said with a smile.]

Well there's the dance floor, there's the candy table here and dining table over there. We also got bobbing for apples, oh yea, what's this movie we got on-?

[Looks over at the screen.]

Oh yea one of the Scare Your Pants Off movie specials.

[Shrugs.]

What's your fancy?

I might do bobbing for apples later, I sealed this pretty well. [A gesture at his face.] Dancing might be fun though.

[Arthur grins.]

Sure! I'll show ya to the dance floor follow me.

[He walked toward the ballroom and open the doors for them, music was pumping some spooky tunes. He grins as he kneels down.]

Want me to shrink down so we can dance?

[He followed after him, grinning a bit.]

Yeah, I mean. If you think you can keep up.

[Smirks as he touched his pendant and started to shrink down to a regular 6ft height.]

Oho~

Is that a challenge good sir~?

[A short fennec in black-and-red fur dye and Entirely too many paper mâché bones can be found wandering throughout the house, usually with a drink of some sort. She wants to try to be sociable, but parties are still a thing that she's unsure how to handle.]

[She's gotten the dressing up part, if nothing else, but the whole talking to strangers, not so much.]

[Arthur casually came over as kneeled down.]

Hey Anaya, nice to see you made it!

[Looks over as he smiled.]

Oh wow, that's a cool costume you got on.

[Here's how you arrive in style to a Halloween party in a giant's castle in the clouds.]

[One: Dress for the occasion. This can mean a variety of things based on your host and the decorations they've chosen. This particular occasion called for campy, old-school costumery.]

[Two: Pick your ride carefully. Granted, it's kind of hard to get a car or anything else like it up a beanstalk - so get creative.]

[Three: Pick your moment. If you can provide your own weather or atmosphere, all the better.]

[With these points in mind, Soma had chosen to go with a classic, one he was perhaps better suited to pull off than just about anyone else on the planet.]

[Yes. That's right. He's here as Dracula, complete with fangs and a bottle of what looks very like blood. And he's riding on a black horse that's made of shadows - an actual Nightmare...]

[...and it looks like he brought his servants with him. For the duration of the party, skeletons, zombies, succubi and assorted other very well-behaved denizens of the dark will be providing service to the partygoers. Even the zombies have sworn off brains for the night. But yeah. A small army of movie monsters has just arrived to help.]

[One particular guest, dressed a dead ringer for Alex from A Clockwork Orange, terrifying eye makeup and all, has been chilling on one of the living room couches, halfway in the lap of a man in a half-assed Freddie Kruger costume, both of them with drinks in their hands as they chatted.

Then as she sees the Dracula costume Liz sits up a little, leaning over curiously.]

Woah, that's a sweet ride you've got there. May I?

[She extends her hand to the nightmare cautiously, asking invitation from both it and its rider.]

[The nightmare pulls up short, deigning to notice the human taking interest. Its eyes hold a mocking intelligence, as if the bit and harness are a mere formality - if it didn't want to be doing what it was doing, it damned well wouldn't be doing it. That being said, however, this one's actually pretty docile.]

You may. Just don't get too close to her mouth or eyes - I've told her not to bite, but I really can't speak for instinct.

[...Yes, the bad accent is in full effect. Hard to tell with a text sentence that doesn't have any of the usual hallmarks, I know, but what can ya do?]

[There was a large room specifically for people to dance, with the appropriately lit up ancient giant size candelabra hanging from the ceiling. The place was also decorated in Halloween gear, although if you look around it, you can tell this was ancient castles from the paintings, elaborate walls. and fantasy decorations on the ceiling.

A large speaker system set up to play some spooky musical tunes, as they say, get down with your bad self.]

[If you need to some downtime, this was a nice quiet place to settle with calming somewhat eerie music. It was ancient area with all sorts of books, all giant size. With a nice fireplace going. A few jack o laterns here and there.]

[Oh yes, they have this section. And don't worry, there's also a set up for the regular sized folks. Of course you must be 21 or older to have a drink. There were also a bunch of large giant sized barrels full of wine and beer. Just ask Dominic, he'll help you out there if you need it.]

[Dominic was indeed bartending for this party. He was dressed in black and red with his Satyr like qualities on full display. And yes, the idea was too look like the devil. He will also happily serve you something sinful, like you know, a black magic cocktail or a rocky mudslide.]

[If you're hungry. DON'T WORRY, YOU'RE SET. With all the giant size portions on the giant table, with pumpkin flavored food such as cookies, pie, and scones. To all kinds of meats, a salad bar, caramel apples, and golly oh golly all Halloween decorated to your delight. There was also a long stretched out smaller table for regular sized folk. Guests who brought their Halloween treats or cooked with Arthur's kitchen have these items out for everyone. He also had a hand in cooking some of these treats too, they're delightful!]

[Well that's a strange-looking costume this lady is wearing as she mosies toward the dining room. She's wearing a red bedsheet which kinda makes her look like a red ghost, but what's with the little plant root design on her head?

Well she's carrying a tray of peanut butter cookies decorated to look like adorable spiders, so that's what matters.]

[Arthur came over, as his eyes brightened.]

Allie you made it!

[Kneeling down as he saw the cookies.]

And you brought cookies!

[Allie beams up at Arthur as she holds up the tray.]

Hey Arthur, happy Halloween! I knew I had to bring something, I hope everybody likes them.

I love your costume!

[Arthur carefully took the tray to set on the regular sized table.]

It looks so delicious!

[Gives a grin down at her.]

Thanks! I always wanted to dress up as someone as cool as the Ghostbusters.

[Tilts his head.]

I like yours too, but what is it?

[She gives him the biggest grin ever as if she was literally waiting all day for somebody to ask her that.]

A ghost pepper of course!

[Snorts as he lifts his brow as he chuckled amusingly.]

Really?

[Wow that's a bad pun.]

[She just gives a little goofy laugh and nods. That's the idea!]

[Laughs with her at that.]

Well you're an adorable Ghost Pepper so congratulations on that, regardless of the pun.

[She gives him a little smile back, blushing slightly.]

Daww, thanks Arthur.

[Smiles softly.]

No problem.

[Gives a nod.]

What would you like to do first around here? We got dancing, I think we just started the Muppets Halloween special on the tv, and bobbing for apples...

[There seems to be some sounds coming from there. Who could it be making that noise? Perhaps it's just the wind. Either way, in this huge ancient castle it's pretty darn spooky to go alone. If you enter you will see old belongings of Arthur's family, somewhat sad memories, but why is it so dark in here?]

[Just outside the castle, there is a garden, still with pumpkins from the patch and other autumn like items. The trees seem particularly full of autumn leave colors. But go further and you will see the trees get darker. Arthur will warn you and even say don't go out there, because while there good dreams that glow in the gardens. Nightmares, especially around Halloween time, reside within those woods.

There are cloud animals as well, all gigantic in size. You will see one or two every once in a while. All are friendly and keep to themselves. Such were the white deer, the fluffy flying wolpertinger, jubjub birds, bandersnatch, and even the Jabberwocky but he's more rare of the animals. The smallest animals were the regular sized Dodos who seem to be all over the place, they might as well be the rodents of the cloud kingdom.]

[As the party goes on into the night, weird things start to happen in the castle. Lots of weird things, in fact. The feeling of being watched. Strange whispers or even laughter in quiet, empty rooms. Random things going missing. You could ask anybody about it but they're as clueless as you are. But you can't deny it...there's something strange in the neighborhood.

In this thread, you are being haunted by a team of ghosts that appear to have come to the party. But the most they seem to be interested in is pulling harmless pranks; tugging on pigtails, moving things, pokes and prods, even a simple jumping out to say 'boo!' It might be a little eerie at first, but over time it'll be annoying at worst, and nobody's getting hurt over it.]
