WHO: Displaced folks!
WHEN: 6pm until 11pm.
WHERE: The Tumbleweed Hotel's grand reception hall.
WHAT: Come As You Aren't. And then you are. Oops.
STATUS:

______________

Around noon today, a courier shows up to your doorstep and hands you an envelope.

Inside is a minimalist invitation to a "Come As You Aren't" social gathering (from 6pm until 11pm that evening at the Tumbleweed Hotel's grand reception hall) and a gift card to SPOOKTACULAR in the amount of $100. While it's not a Halloween gathering, it's more of a get to know you shindig by coming as something you're not.

There will be some social games for people to figure out things about you as a way for us to tell things about ourselves that we wouldn't automatically think to ask. There are non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. A few local NPCs have been hired to watch small children.

AT THIS PARTY: Around 8pm, everyone who came in costumes from SPOOKTACULAR will suddenly find themselves transformed into their costumes. Again, this is ONLY people who bought their costumes from SPOOKTACULAR. This change will last for 3-7 days, depending on what you'd like.

Some questions I got: this is more like Buffy's episode where you become your costume. It basically becomes real. Dressed as a cat? You're now a cat. (And not with your memories. You're just a cat.) Come as Captain America? You are Captain America (you'll still look like you, but you'll have memories and personality). Come as a serial killer........(Seriously, though, please don't come as a serial killer or you will end up being thrown in jail.)

not all of mine got their costumes from spooktacular but:

Aracely is now incorporeal and can appear out of thin air, and knows when someone is going to die. (Presumably this would just be like a couple of random elderly people or something.)
Laura is about a foot tall, can fly, and has developed a weird taste for milk, honey, and cream. And she's sparkly.
America has spidey powers and the urge to constantly come out with one-liners.
Maya's, well, a cop. But you can totally pay her off to avoid getting (totally unenforceable, she's not actually employed) tickets or whatever.

	Q is suddenly glad he didn't wear a costume. Mostly he's going to make sure Eliot and Kylo and Petunia don't end up in really awkward situations...but also he's a bit drunk, so that's probably going to go very poorly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, things got weird fast. If Ed and Al are hanging around, Winry promptly looks for them because she doesn't want to get caught with the wrong kind of person. She's really happy she's in her own clothes. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Rick pretty much leaves when this shit happens. He could fix this if he wanted to -- he fixed Needful Things cursed objects -- but he's not really into repeating storylines so, tough shit. (Reply to this) (Parent)
