halloween
[It's been a gradual progression in the spirit of the season as decorations and preparations continue to expand beyond the cities and towns - spooky little lanterns strung together across any number of outdoor paths, fake decorative spiderwebs and clusters of bats, pumpkins all grouped up together and also seen spread out along many areas in a variety of patterns and designs. It's a feeling that's been building up the more the weeks progress, more merchants and shops joining into the fray of costumes, treats, and masks as if to tell of what's to come.

When the day itself arrives, it's no ordinary start to the celebration. A mysterious main area opens up beyond the outskirts of the major towns, welcoming all travelers and residents alike, and decorated fully in intense blends of orange, black and purples. There are special vendors and banners strewn above trees along with all the previous arrangements of pumpkins and lights, although even with lights and during the day, there's still a certain feeling and a sense of the dark in the night that lingers here.

Whatever lingers when you cross the threshold in, the reason why isn't necessarily obvious: a fragment of another world has connected to a bridge and established itself here. Not just with strong connections to the Halloween festivities at large, but something beyond. Many of the people gathered here will be donning masks of all sorts, welcoming and encouraging others to come within this space between worlds, to partake in the celebration, offering candies, treats and merrymaking. Haven't chosen a costume? Don't be surprised if a masked individual casts a spell to dress you up for the day or shares a mask with you to have. Feeling wary of the decorative entrance of the main area? A silly poof of purple smoke will drop you in for the fun.

All well and good if that were all that this place brought with it to the land of seven colors. You see, certain masked individuals will be more than they appear. Spirits from beyond the worlds have taken up these masks to disguise themselves in order to steal your very own vital energy, tricking and luring some in with anything from music and dance to the deception of someone you love beneath the mask, surely if you could just get one closer look...

As the feast goes on, some spirits won't bother with gimmicks, attacking any target they deem vulnerable enough, so be careful of wandering the dark alone tonight - nothing is ever what it seems]
