Character Name: X'rhun Tia
CR Wanted: ALL YES PLEASE COME TO ME
CR Not Wanted: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:
As a general note, he's injured from events in the TDM so he will not be at 100%!

X'rhun is actually... not going to be affected by the moon because his night vision is complete shit and wouldn't be able to see much of it to admire it anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ BUT because he's diurnal he'll definitely be affected by the day effects.

Because of the day effects he'll definitely be found wandering more often at night than usual! It's a big change from his usual strictly day hours... Which means he'll be bumping into a lot of shit because he cant see well. Who wants to be his guide? Or you know, just party with him, because that's a thing you do right?

Still unsure about the corn maze. He's not likely to do that, but will accompany a friend if they ask.

Food and drink! He will be having mostly alcoholic cider (god someone please control him, he's a wild, chatty, affectionate drunk), hot chocolate, and pumpkin spice lattes (taking advantage of this is A-Okay, though I'd rather skip out on really heavy things like him being forced do nasty stuff, thanks. asking him to tell the truth is completely okay though)

Now for the big thing I want: I shall be putting X'rhun into the night carriage rides (and he can see the threstrals because... shit), and because of that he will be fighting to protect whoever he'll be with. If there are any takers for a death scenario, I will killing him off in front of one companion! If you'd like your character to be that companion/witness, let me know! Close CR preferably, but I wont say no to new CR if they come first. If you don't want your character to see him die but would still like to have a carriage ride with him anyway, let me know too, and I'll have both carriage scenarios as different prompts.

Cat’s death has been claimed by Gowa, godspeed!!

I'll be posting a toplevel for him! So yes come to Catte!

Character Name: Sean Kendrick
CR Wanted: everything!! reinforcement of existing CR, new CR, negative CR, we like it all
CR Not Wanted: the limit does not exist
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:
THE HOURS OF THE NIGHT ARE MANY

potential places for daytime exhaustion:
> community college
> the vet clinic where Sean works
> anywhere between the supermarket and Lake Tomie where he walks back with meat for Corr

I'm not sure there's too much to do with this per se but it will probably affect his day to day interactions with people!

HE WHO WALKS BEHIND THE ROWS

Sean, who has spent the majority of his life basically working in indentured servitude (as much as he doesn't want to admit it lmao), is a perfect candidate for corn-related bloodlust. therefore I'm tempted to put him in the corn with a sharp object and see what happens.

I'm not totally interested in him committing actual murder, but causing injury or at least getting really angry/aggressive is definitely a possibility. if he can be snapped out of it by chasing someone out of the corn even better.

WE DID THE MASH

let's party!!!

actually the Isle of Man has some pretty wild Halloween/Samhain/Hop-tu-Naa traditions that Sean will happily bring to the party so to speak, e.g. turnip carving (fuck an expensive pumpkin), songs about witches, fire traditions and general merriment. his Foolish Fortnight is just gonna be two months long instead of two weeks, I guess.....

he'll probably stick mostly with cider (the regular kind), but may also be convinced to try candy apples, donuts, or alcoholic cider. this is the month of Sean's alter ego, Sean With Actual Personality, coming out to play LOL

[brickbat]

Sean

Hey Sean

Show North some of these hilarious sounding traditions pls.

I know that’s not horror but shut up and rp with me, damn it

[nojockey]

I HOPE SHE'S REALLY GOOD AT CARVING TURNIPS SO HE CAN BE MAD ABOUT ANDROIDS FOREVER.

apparently the Manx carved turnips instead of pumpkins bc pumpkins were expensive for them, but turnips are like. considerably harder to carve so you have to be really dedicated and it takes many hours and usually comes out uglier than pumpkins do

also there's dancing (in this video performed inexpertly by children like 6 years old lmao)

pls dance with him north......

[brickbat]

..... holy shit yes she will absolutely dance with him. She might require some cajoling but not toooo much, and I want this extremely a lot, so it’s happening. She will enjoy herself and it will be cute af on all levels.

Djdjf aboit turnips though, like .... SHE COULD BE, djdjf it depends how worth it she decides the complications are. I, however, will basically do anything for comedy, so this can also happen.

[princessences]

Character Name: Allura
CR Wanted: The answer here is always EVERYTHING. New CR is always welcome and I love the opportunity to develop existing CR as well.
CR Not Wanted: What sort of nonsense is this.
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: As just an FYI, Allura always comes with some magical alien powers, but they do have consequences. Her space mice are also available for shenanigans.

Allura regularly watches the night sky so she is definitely going to the affected by the moon-induced insomnia and lunacy which will consequently bleed through the whole event. During the daytime she can probably be found half-dead at the flower shop and the library, though I am open to having her end up most places.

At night time she will be on a high all over the place. This will also be an opportunity for her to want to partake in the thestral carriage rides which includes fighting the monsters that attack them. She does have some super strength and space magic, though she's already exhausted so the later won't really work well. (But what does she know if she doesn't try?)

This also means that in her nighttime mania state she is going to be so about the monster mash and the tricky treats. I definitely want her to get smashed, but I'm open to the other treats too!

I would also love for someone to catch her in a sleep paralysis and potentially try to help her out if it.

I love you all and I am excited!

[shotgunyuukon]

Character Name: Ouse Kurosawa. She is not related to Rei Kurosawa, if anyone is wondering.
CR Wanted: Any which thing~!
CR Not Wanted: Nothing I can think of.
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: So here's a quick summary:

- Ouse is not prone to stargazing or watching the moon too closely (wrong Fatal Frame for that one), so she'll be alright as far as sleeping goes! That may be about the only 'normal' thing she has going on

- She will absolutely go into the corn maze with anyone who wants her to! She might not do it all on her own, but if anyone wants a frand with them, hit her up. She'll probably watch the corn maze and try to listen to the voices in the interim. Whilst she might not specifically have any kind of inclinations toward other people controlling her life, there is still an ingrained corruption to her spirit and mind from the Black Water, so murderous bloodlust isn't as far of a step as her usual mild-mannered proclivities might suggest. If you're unlucky, you might even get to see that corrupted form.

- CARRIAGE RIDES is what I am big on in this event. Most specifically, the "after 10pm" variety of them. Seeing stuff she probably shouldn't is basically Ouse's entire life, so I am 100% keen on her getting to see the face of God up there behind the moon... and then landing and wondering wtf just happened. While also being horribly injured. Problem: she has like no real ability to fight or defend herself outside of her corrupted ghostie form, so there's not much she can do to stave them off from the Thestrals. She will probably try her hardest anyway, though, because she will take one heck of a liking to them.

- That said, she absolutely will be able to see the Thestrals and will probably want to pet and coo and cuddle with them a lot, even if they're weird skeleton horse things. Daytime carriage rides are also entirely possible, if anyone wants to. She'll probably spend a decent amount of time around the area.

- Also, she'll be around for the party, and all the food and drink there. She's not inclined toward alcohol, entirely, but all the rest of the food she'll probably try at least once because... she's curious and is from a weird era in Japan where she couldn't very much partake in a lot of American food. So she's always willing to try new things! Fair warning: She is already flirtatious and too quick to fall for people, so those Donuts are going to be wild.

So you can hit me up here! Or add me Reslari if you want~!

[danzan]

Character Name: logan
CR Wanted: everything
CR Not Wanted: ???
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: anything, anything! BUT:

1. logan won't be falling under the moon spell, but you're welcome to give him treats or find him wandering the parties at night, clearly looking affronted as he tries to just find a place that's quiet, for once.
2. he's also going to go around slapping people awake who he sees all frozen in fear, so that's a thing.
3. the corn maze will obviously pull him in, and you can either a) save him and witness his STUPID FUCKING PANIC ATTACK; or b) play with him going feral because he's an idiot who can't say no to voices in his head after all the brain-breaking that's happened to him over the years.
4. HE WILL BEFRIEND THE HORSES, BECAUSE OF COURSE HE WILL. come befriend them with him!
5. or be the sad sap pulled along with him as the horses pull them into the sky and bad shit happens and the carriage crashes and there is INJURY EVERYWHERE. do note that he's probably going to be SLIGHTLY more concerned with the horses than you, though. :( the horses are his friends...

i have a toplevel on the event, which is here. if you have any ideas in particular, please don't hesitate to let me know!

[rosydisposition]

Character Name: Shuichi 'Kurama' Minamino
CR Wanted: All the CR!
CR Not Wanted: NA
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:

Part One: Hours of the Night Are Many

Kurama tends to watch the moon at night as a way to calm himself. He also records the phases for when he's most irritable to try and pin down his struggle with his demon nature.

During the Day Kurama has classes and will be very focused on doing them, even though he'll be exhausted. Couple it with an already aggressive and irritable demon, who already is wary of everything and Kurama is likely not someone one wants to annoy. So feel free!

At Night, anyone encountering him might see more of his old tendencies. Kurama is a fox, who can be incredibly playful when he's comfortable with someone. He'll probably be toying with people left and right, and sometimes, depending on how he feels about someone, may encounter some sadistic glee. People are generally safe - he doesn't want to hurt anyone, he just wants to burn his access energy. Even if it means laying traps out for people to be caught in.


He Who Walks Behind the Rows

Kurama in the maze is probably the most dangerous, if anyone wants to have a character injured or killed. Because he manipulates plants, the entire area is a weapon for him (though he will tire very easily). Demons in his canon tend to be violent and aggressive, with a healthy dose of a lust for blood already. Combine that with the effects of the maze and he'll be dangerous.

As a warning, anyone with spiritual characters, characters who may not appear human or characters that exude power that can be sensed are at higher risk, as he will view them as threats or annoyances and want to be rid of them. Also anyone who deigns to tell him what to do, because Kurama the Youko does what he wants, he will not be tamed.

It is possible to get out unscathed or to defeat him. Use of his demonic power tends to wear him out easily in Deerington and he isn't at the top of his game due to exhaustion.


Carriage Rides

Kurama has died once before, which is why he's in a human body to begin with. He'll be curious about the thestrals, and he won't mind a carriage ride. If anyone is interested, he will try to defend you until he runs out of juice.

He's also not above sacrificing himself, but I'm not looking to kill him just yet, unless a thread heads in that direction naturally. We'll have to see!


We Did the Mash

What Kurama has is entirely dependent on if anyone wants him in any particular state. He doesn't much care for sweets, but he doesn't mind things like cider and hot chocolate. He may be curious about the others.

Who doesn't want an affectionate foxboy?

[justbeingknife]

Character Name: Majima Gorō
CR Wanted:
Majima is crunchy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, with a side of Blood Knight and a secret, incurable goofy streak a mile wide. He's got a very grey morality in some respects, and genuinely cares about people, particularly those in emotional distress. Are you a sad little girl he will spend hours at crane games just so he can win the stuffed animal you want, BUT DON'T CALL HIM A GOOD PERSON HE HATES IT.

This month, I'm focusing on deepening CR/new CR, and I'm always down for new CR in general.

CR I'm particularly into this month includes:
▶ Recovering from the emotional hurricane that was last month. If your character shared memories/visions with Majima last month, I'm into decompression interactions to kind of talk through/explain things because he rarely feels that out of control of himself or that free with personal information, i.e. THANKS, HE HATES IT.

▶ Still more emotions! Even leaving aside those memories, Majima's in more of a mood to discuss home and his past. He also tends to take a genuine interest in other people and listening to their problems, so if your character needs someone to listen/help with something/hash things out, he may very well be your dude! At best, he'll offer one, maybe two solutions, but generally his style is listening without much judgment.

▶ Mystery investigations, as always! He has a general open log up here in addition to the event. Majima's got a high tolerance for horror and a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, so if you'd like to poke around in Deerington's many secrets, I'm into it. In particular, he's interested in the Elementary School, the Mayor, and the Broadcasting station.

▶ As always, a wild mix of action/comedy/drama. I have a high tolerance for ridiculousness, and luckily this character lends himself well to doing incredibly stupid things in complete seriousness. Active thread partners and improvisation are totally my jam! I'm super down with being personally victimized by some Halloween decorations as well.

CR Not Wanted: Debating whether I want him caught up in the Children of the Corn thing or not.

Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:
▶ Thestrals!
Day Rides: This sounds super cute... I'm into it. Could be fun for seeing more of the forest than they would otherwise, too.
Night Rides: I'm so down for a desperate, losing fight alongside the other passenger in their carriage.

▶ I'm interested in some of the effects of the treats, namely the donuts (happiness/affection), candy apples (telling someone what he likes about them), getting falling down drunk with the alcoholic cider, and perhaps pumpkin spice lattes (obedience).

▶ Also, being from 80's Japan, Majima's heard of, say, trick or treating, but he's never been to an actual American Halloween celebration. No idea what pumpkin spice is, either, so if you'd like to do cute Halloween-ish things (carving pumpkins, planning a costume, etc.) with someone who's going to be kind of a space alien about it, he's your dude.

▶ I forgot to add: Majima's glamour will be a kitsune, with the ability to... uh, transform into other things. Wow get off me he wants to know what it's like to fly ok

ETA: Also link to top level

[therapissed]

Character Name: Bruce Banner
CR Wanted: any and all
CR Not Wanted: n/a
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:

• Bruce frequently suffers from insomnia anyway so while I won't be having him stare up at the moon, he'll at least try to help people who're new to the experience.
  
• If anyone starts seeing the hag at night and is friends with Bruce... If they confide in him and want to, he can offer them a place to stay at his - he has a guest room and a fairly comfortable couch in the library/study.
  
• Bruce will be in the cornfield if anyone would like to attack the doctor...? Otherwise, he's also available to help people getting attacked. Attacking and hurting Bruce will bring out the Hulk. Landing a killing blow on Bruce will bring out a feral Hulk which you'll be lucky to survive so... Have at ye?
  
• While Bruce won't be hopping on a broomstick any time soon, he'll be getting giggly on alcoholic cider, and potentially be saying nice things... Feed him donuts if you want cuddly Banner.

[tagartist]

Character Name: Chloe Price
CR Wanted: All of it.
CR Not Wanted: This is a trick question.
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: MKAY so I'm going to try and limit myself to 1 at most 2 threads per section for this, to try and keep myself better on top of things. Stuff I wanna play for sure though;

⇢ Chloe is going to go through the corn maze for sure and she absolutely feels powerless to adults and specifically to men. I'm willing to do maybe 2 threads with this, one where Chloe ends up under the effects and either tries to or successfully hurts someone and then another where someone manages to talk her down and get her away from said maze. I'm up for combining the two of these into one if someone's super up for it.
⇢ CARRIAGE RIDES!! Chloe will be able to see the Thestrals, and I'd be down for doing an after 10 PM ride with someone if they were interested.
⇢ WIth the Monster Mash, I'd love to have her eat a donut and get super affectionate with someone since she's... not the sort who usually is. She's also going to have alcoholic cider and fly a broom.

If someone has another specific idea, I'm down for talking about it!

[gaylic]

Character Name: Moira O'Deorain
CR Wanted: E v e r y t h i n g
CR Not Wanted: I have no answer for this.
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event: Moira's not usually a party person, but her curiosity also always gets the best of her.

⇢ Moira won't be affected by the lunar madness, but since she works as a doctor and also a scientist, she would want to study people who are, if anyone is up for that.
⇢ I'm down for her going through the corn maze. She's not going to be affected by it, but I'd be up for her running into someone who is or walking through with someone who is. She's got some healing powers in case anyone is injured and wants her to save them after being attacked, too. She's not aware it sucks her own energy yet so this would be limited to helping one person because after that she'd say fuck that unless it was someone really important to her.
⇢ Day Rides or Night Rides on the carriages I'm all for. She has a long-range attacking ability to help protect the carriage, which is super helpful.
⇢ Someone force this chick on a broom.

[incandescentfaith]

I mentioned it on plurk but probably better to post it here so I'll have it written down. I wanna do a thing.

Super affectionate (Maybe from both of them) or Thestrals? Which one seems best for you?

[paradoxpoint]

Character Name: Arthur
CR Wanted: anything and everything
CR Not Wanted: n/a
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:

• Arthur's going to get the moon curse and be all the bitchier for it. I'm sorry in advance.
  
• I would love for Arthur to be grievously wounded somewhere at some time, potentially even killed. Apparently I just want to torture him.
  
• He might end up eating a donut or some candy apples. He's not going to be pleased with himself after, but given everything he says under the influence will be true...? Shenanigans \o/

[incandescentfaith]

Carriage rides. Let us do the thing.

[incandescentfaith]

Give me Monster Mash mania. I need this in my life.

[clussy]

Character Name: Eddie Kaspbrak
CR Wanted: e v e r y t h i n g.
CR Not Wanted: No death YET
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:

➔ Who wants to get stabbed by Eddie? EDIT: You can now get stabbed by Eddie AND Richie if you would like! Chase and I are gonna have a joint prompt for people who can get attacked by both the boys!

You bet he's gonna be in the corn maze going Children of the Corn on some adults. I'm going to have him do a little broadcast of pretending to be lost to lure in adults for the good ole STABBY STAB. He's 5'0 and weighs next to nothing, but he's fast. So he could either injure your character or flat out kill them honestly both is totally possible. I AM READY TO PLAN either him getting yanked out of that trance or him being just a stabby boi.

With Richie he will be a LOT more dangerous because he's braver by default around his friends, and maddened by the LUNA(cy) and the corn he's gonna be gung-ho murder happy.

➔ Eddie's gonna get turnt at the all-month party because why not. He's a kid and will be cramming a lot of the food. Probably flying around on a broomstick like a jackass with his friends. Hopefully he won't break an arm. Hopefully.

➔ Those are my two main plans! I am down to plan additional information. Idk what I'm doing for his glamour transformation yet but it'll prob match Richie's in some way because #BestFriendLife. It'll probably also be the same transformation throughout the month but don't quote me on that.

➔ If you want anything in particular just LMK....I am here to serve. As always checkin out my content warnings is generally seen as a good idea.

[barmherzig]

Character Name: Angela Ziegler
CR Wanted: Any and all!
CR Not Wanted: See above
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:

>The moon: Those who know Angela, know that she is the optimistic and caring type of person who has been trying very hard to take care of everyone's medical needs. She doesn't sleep a whole lot as is and she's been trying to work around the clock for the betterment of the sleepers. The moon is going to get ahold of her and really drag out some of the rougher angles of her personality. So if anyone wants to try and help, or see her at her most frazzled I'd love to get to play out some other sides of her as she tries to keep her demeanor together.
>The Maze: Angela is also someone who has looked after and cared for the younger groups of sleepers, so if any of them want to do something in the corn maze let me know? She will be wearing Valkyrie, so she may be able to prevent death? Or it could fail! Who knows!
>Night rides: Want to see Angela in battle? The night ride after 10PM is a great chance for that. So if you have been wanting to fight with her or have her protect/heal/etc. let me know.
>Food and Drink: And I would also like to just have some serious fun with the festivities, so maybe some heavy drinking and eating? I'd love to plan out some just fun things to do to lighten up the heavier stuff.

[shotgunyuukon]

Before or after 10pm

[incandescentfaith]

Which do you want? I'm fine with either.

[incandescentfaith]

Character Name: Rei Hino
CR Wanted: Any of it. New, reinforcing old CR, etc
CR Not Wanted: N/A
Ideas/Wishes pertaining the event:

-Rei isn't going to get a case of the Moon Crazy. She's just not that enamored with the Moon. Despite having a close personal relationship with it.

-She's also not affected by the corn maze since she's more or less in command of her own destiny. However, she might count as an authority figure if someone really wants to try and stab her.

-Carriage Rides. I AM HERE FOR THIS. Rei is going to be weirdly fond of the Thestrals and she's definitely able to see them.

-Monster Mash/Drinks: Rei will go for sure just out of curiosity, and probably play around on a broom while laughing at how silly it is. I'm happy to have her eat or drink most of these, though Pumpkin Spice Latte I'd want to limit to previous CR and plot those out because there would very likely be fallout.


If you've got other idea HMU here or on plurk at intercession

[shotgunyuukon]

AS AM I, actually. So... uh... really it's whatever. Rei might be super useful against fire creatures... and possibly dragging half-dead ghosts around when they're more concerned with saving the wee creatures.

That aren't so wee, but w/e.

But you know, I'm an awful person and of course I want Ouse like Hurt-Hurt for the whole thing so maybe just stick with the semi-romantic one?

[incandescentfaith]

I mean, she can't stop them all and being hurt by fire would really freak her out. I'll think on this because I want to freak Rei out too, but semi-romantic times with Ouse...

[incandescentfaith]

Rei's already seen Angela out of sorts but I'd like to do something with that, or maybe with the hag or something. Could be tied into harmless other activities, if you want tho.
