HALLOWEEN OOC PREP POST!!

 Guys, it's upon us! Halloween is right around the corner! Hope you got your candy bought and your horror movies ready cuz we're about to get down to business.

This year, we'll be doing the traditional IC Halloween party event, but now with a seasonally appropriate twist where something spooky is going to go down. Here's some basic info in handy bulletpoint form first and foremost:
  • The event post will go up a few days before October 31st, so we can get rolling on the fun!
  • The event will be in two parts: the usual party and the following scarytime portion.
  • Neither part requires participation in the other to join the fun! You can tag in the party but skip the spooky, or jump right to the spooky when it arrives. Or both! You can do both.
  • The party portion will remain open indefinitely, so don't worry if you show up late due to your own IRL festivities or get in on it when the spooky phase has begun. They're set in the same area but the party will remain largely a standalone for people to mingle, dance, eat candy, get drunk off their asses, make poor decisions while drunk, and have fun with costumes. As God intended.

So with that being said, let's get down to aforementioned spooky business! Because to make this second phase work, I need your guys' help and input! Why?

Because at some point during the night, an event is going to take place that will transport the hapless participants into a holiday appropriate pocket realm where they will have to deal with some frightening things pulled from their own psyche.

And what I need from the good folks of the Nexus is to share here (if interested in this portion of the event, it is fine if you were prefer to opt out and just enjoy partying hard!) that you are interested, what your character's worst memoryis (if you would like to avoid spoilers to fellow players, you can message me with it as well) and help me pair you off! Because yes, this event is going to have a buddy system where things will get mixed up and you'll have to work together to get yourselves out of the spooky nightmare pocket and back to reality to put a kibosh on what caused this all!

Another portion that requires input from you: would you prefer for me to pair you off via names out of hat? Or would you rather discuss here to find your buddy? I'll gladly honour both, honestly. If you guys get raring in here to have two particular characters work together, go for it! If you'd prefer for me to find you a partner, I'll do that too! This one is up to you.

So let's get started! Feel free to ask further questions or clarifications too as I'm positive I've missed or glossed over some things.


 
EDIT: Here are the characters I have so far that are in for sure, as well as (some tentative) pairings! If these are incorrect or you want me to add/remove someone, let me know ASAP!

Dr. White + Fortyskey
Josh Washington + Harley
Harrowheart +[claimed for plot reasons!]
Vanyel
Krennic + Amelia
Jim-With-Beard + Jim-Without-Beard
Blaze +  Reynard
Ghost + Adia
Stratos +  Nekomata
Isidor
Iphigenia

Any odd men out or stragglers will be given a partner, don't worry! Both I and Sempai-Mod will bring in our own characters to even out the list if it is needed. And for the sake of full disclosure, both Micolash ([personal profile] grantuseyes ) and Viatorus ([personal profile] heirtothearcane ) will be present for the Spooky Event but cannot be paired off with others outright because [PLOT SPOILERS].

Hey, would Forty like to be partnered with a plague doctor? The scourge thing would work nicely with plague themes.

Apologies for taking so long to get back to this, but anyways.

As a warning: Over the next five or so days I'm gonna be slow, my usual three-to-four day workweek has been upped to five for this week due to scheduling issues.

THAT SAID. it should be interesting to work with, after all, PLAGUE is one of those good old fashioned Forsaken themes too (see also: Wraithgate, and so on), if you've got anything in particular in mind, I tend to roll with the punches and adapt easily.

That's perfectly fine. I'm also planning to tag into whatever aftermath thread the mods are planning.

Anyway, I was gonna have Dr. White come up to Fourty all quiet and creepy, like he was going to make a demonic offer she can't refuse... When suddenly the nightmare turns on him and it becomes obvious he's not part of the hallucinations.

Is it ok if they part ways after the nightmare ends? The doctor is going to want to find a portal to his actual domain, thank you very much.
