COLLIGOWEEN '09 ➠ FUTURE-DATED TO THE 31st.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME BALL
The convention center was alive with activity tonight. The locals acted as if an event such as this happened every Halloween, prattling on in their corners and within their groups about the previous year's happenings, from costume winners to drama queens who had made near-scandalous scenes. There was punch and cookies, cakes and candies, and even a bar at the back that served alcoholic beverages to those of age. Within the convention center, all seemed right. Safe. Enjoyable.

But, down below...

Unknown to the residents of Colligo, one Ethan Rayne was currently hard at work in the basement of the building, setting up a spell he knew by heart. It hadn't gone according to plan last time he cast it, but he was confident it would go his way this time -- especially when his way was also The Collector's way.

He glanced impatiently at the clock. 7PM. The Collector said 11PM. In four hours, all hell would break lose in a symphony of chaos.

"Cinderella's leaving the ball a little early this year..."

MOD NOTE: This is the kick off to the ball! Sub-threads can be found within for your use. However, keep in mind that no one knows what Ethan is up to or that he's even in the city. Future-dated to allow people time to get threads going.

THE COSTUME SPELL IS NOT IN EFFECT YET. This is being done in order to give members time to game within the party prior to the spell being cast. When the spell is cast, a new sub-thread will be posted and members will be notified via the OOC comm. SPELL ACTIVATED!

Questions? Don't hesitate to contact one of the mods.

Getting the inventory done at the video store had taken Claire a little longer than she'd planned. Fortunately she had opted against an elaborate costume and therefore had been able to wear what she was dressing up as, to work. So that meant she didn't have to change when she'd finished and was able to go directly to the party.

Granted in a regular pair of jeans, tank top, and one of Dean's comfortable, much too big for her flannel shirts, her costume wasn't very obvious. Anyone who had seen My Bloody Valentine 3D, however, would be able to peg her as Sarah - the 'heroine' of the movie - if they saw her with Priestly - who was going as Tom.

There weren't too many people milling around outside the convention center when she got there. Idly, Claire worried that she'd showed up too late and that the party was over already. However, as the doors leading inside swung open and the music could be heard, she realized that wasn't the case. The party still sounded as though it was in full swing, so she headed inside in the hopes of finding Priestly. She didn't think it'd be too hard. After all, how many guys were going to show up wearing a gas mask and hauling around a pickaxe?

Damien was having the best night of his life. Well.. second best, probably. His meeting with that girl the other night at the pool was very high up there on his list of fun times. But this was a party. And he really loved those. He had strolled around, past the punch bowl. "Bless this drink," he said, making the sign of an upside down cross, "take the bread away, lead us into temptation, deliver us to evil, and.. all that other fun stuff." There was a playful smirk on his face as he took a drink. He was probably having too much fun as he wore this priest outfit. He supposed some, if they knew what he truly was, would consider this blasphemous and a sacrilege to be posing as a man of the cloth. But come on, this was Halloween! It was surely fair game now.

Suddenly, as he finished, dropping the paper cup in the nearest trash can, he felt as though he must pause, as he stopped in mid-step on the floor. He gasped, trembling slightly.. there was a glazed look in his eyes for a moment. He stared up at the ceiling for a long minute. Then he shook his head, hands folded as he walked once more, mumbling, "Use me to find thine lost sheep. Allow my to serve thy holy will, my Lord." He had to speak to an angel.. or a believer. Someone, anyone. He felt compelled to do something righteous and would likely not be able to sleep tonight until he did so.

Scorpius Malfoy had been having a great time tonight. Even though it was getting late, he didn't feel tired at all. There were so many interesting costumes. And he had a talk with Merlin! And the girl that he'd become close to.. all in all, a great party so far. He had decided that he could use another cool drink.

As he walked toward the refreshments table, his steps slowed ever so slightly, feeling a pull. His wig felt.. well, huh. That was odd. His beard even felt a bit real. He looked at his hands and noticed they did not look so young. "Ohh, what the bloody fu-" He stopped, shaking his head. He was silent for a very long moment. He had actually become Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. "Alas," he spoke, his voice much older, "it would appear I am at a slight disadvantage." He turned to the person close to him, pulling something from his robe. "Lemon drop? I daresay it is still quite fresh."

Clark had been hanging around, attempting to enjoy himself. There had been a lot of cool costumes. He thought of using the costume from his.. err, comics... but was not sure of that. Besides, those were tights! He wasn't sure how he felt about those. As he passed by the wall, he felt a slight buzzing in his head. His feet felt heavier, though not just because he had biker boots on. There did not seem to be much of an outward change. His face and body was the same. Although his facial expression? It seemed neutral, impassive. Sort of like a mask.

And it would seem the superhero had yet one more type of enhanced vision. He was seeing everything in infra-red vision. There were digitized readouts in his left top corner of vision too, as he scanned various people and objects. Halloween party. Humans. Other lifeforms not in his database. There was a pause, and he... IT.. knew what it was and what it had to do. He was a Machine. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton. Built to do one perfect thing: kill you. Relentless, unfeeling, determined, and capable. He had to locate John Connor and terminate his existence. And once that was done, it could perhaps ensure that Skynet was born here.. if there were proper materials.

There was a subtle change in the air, and Makoto looked up from her drink to see that the milling crowd of happy people in costumes had turned into a disturbingly different-looking group of goblins and ghouls and confused people.
The ones she had noted hadn't turned up in costumes were looking horrified at their companions and Makoto had the terrible thought that Usagi and Rei were in danger. She had to find them
