[Open RP] Trick or treat!

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Well, after that mess with kid-Kusu and the yucky pink goo, Wishbone opted to stay inside while the weather was weird.

But just because he was inside doesn't mean he can't celebrate Halloween!

(Granted, he's just doing it to beg for treats, but who wouldn't?)

So Wishbone put on his Beowulf costume, got a little cauldron (that could hold more than it looked), and started walking around Hogwarts, preparing to ask of anyone the eternal question: Trick or treat?

Chiri decides that it is only proper to be in costume on Halloween, but without many options due to her offical prefect crab hat, she settles on being a zombie fisherman, with a 'dead' crab on her head. Not many people seem to come down to Bitchiwitch, so Chiri takes it upon herself to distribute candy in her House's name by wearing a red rain coat with black fishing gear. Inside her black tackle box is the treats she will distribute to the people she passes by.

Adjusting the fishing polls she has strapped to her back so that the fish skeletons hanging on the hooks do not get in her face, Chiri walks down the halls looking for people to properly give treats to.

A person, a person!

Wishbone stopped, cauldron in mouth, tail wagging.

Trick or treat! he said happily.

Kameo's kingdom was...secluded, at best, so she had no idea why everyone was dressing up and such. Still, she played along and ran around as Pummel Weed.

It was a damn good "costume".

Being that it is L's birthday and the mun is lazy, he was in the Great Hall, enjoying a particularly extravagant confection of cheesecake, donuts, strawberries, and sauces of various kinds. Even the house elves had trouble not gagging at the amount of sugar in the concoction. There was also a cup of coffee with a bowl of sugar cubes next to it, ready to be prepared. Being of the socially isolated bent he is, he is also unaware that there is a holiday occurring, though the grinning pumpkins did amuse him.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Jumping up onto the bench, Wishbone perched up across from L.

Happy Halloween! Trick or treat Ryuzaki!

[pre-l.livejournal.com]

L looked at Wishbone a moment, baffled. "Halloween?" he repeated. It took a moment for him to pull up the information he had. "Ah, yes, that is today as well. A modification of the Pagan New Year, Samhain, celebrating the return of winter and the end of harvest." He tilted his head and then smiled at Wishbone. "Happy Halloween."

L wasn't the only one for whom October 31 wasn't primarily Halloween. Two owls made their way to where L sat.

One was a cellophane-wrapped plate of cookies; chocolate chunk, dried strawberries, and slivers of crystallized ginger. The card read, unsurprisingly,

"Have a wonderful birthday! Love, A."



The other was a slim volume (http://www.amazon.com/Sensuous-Magic-Ed-Adventurous-Couples/dp/1573441309) in a plain brown wrapper.

"I hope the coming year is an educational one. Near."

[pre-l.livejournal.com]

The cookies made L smile. He wrote a quick note of thanks to A.

The other, though, gave him pause. He stared at it for a very long time. To say he was less than amused would be a start. He considered returning the book unread but some curiosity stopped him. Instead, he sent the owl away without a note and sat on the book.

Dwight had recently spent a restful weekend back at Schrute Farms, catchin up with his family and the ever-present beet crops. But now he was back, determined to celebrate Halloween in style.

He hadn't decided whether he should dress as a pirate or a ninja this year, so he was dressed as a pirate ninja. And he was waiting at the entrance to the Great Hall, with, not chocolate but fresh deer jerky, which he believed would be a much less tooth-rotting treat for everyone. Plus, he'd made it himself!

Wishbone's faithful snout sniffed out something that smelled nice and meaty! Oh, he was totally hitting up whoever had that!

So Wishbone sniffed out the meaty culprit, and sat down in front of him, wagging his tail.

Trick or treat!

[beets-r-god.livejournal.com]

Dwight happily offered Wishbone some of the deer jerky. "Blessed Samhain," he said solemnly, pronouncing it like "sam hain" and, therefore, not even remotely correctly. But he was trying for diversity, dammit.

Beowulf decided that now would be a good moment to try licking Dwight's face.

"I AM WISHBONE!" And he approached with tongue lolling and faux-ears flapping.

[iam-beowulf.livejournal.com]

Beowulf had made doggy ears out of some old leather shoe-tongues, and looped their tops around the headband his Gryffindor tie made. Thus he was wearing a dog ear headband.

His nose was blackened with soot, and he had drawn lines of soot across his cheeks to represent whiskers. In all other respects he was the same old Beowulf.

"I AM WISHBONE! I'M HERE TO EAT YOUR MONSTER! AH, YOUR JERKY!"

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Wishbone giggled. That was awesome! Beowulf was trick or treating as him!

I AM BEOWULF! he answered back. I'M HERE TO KILL YOUR MONSTER!

George had decided, after lots of thought, on a rather clever Halloween costume. He was going as Fred! This required no special effort except affixing a nametag to his Gryffindor school robes that read 'Fred weasley'.

He agahered up an ssortment of dungbombs, Ton-Tongue Toffees, Puking Pasties, and other fun and potentially lethal Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and went looking for a party.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Hey, another person! It smelled like George, but the tag said he was Fred.

That was the problem with twins, they were tricky.

No matter, they have treats all the same.

Trick or treat!

Simon didn't often get to wear Clothes from the Future (which was to say, the more formal and Asian-influenced attire sometimes popular among the upper crust of society on Osiris. Or whatever. Things space mercenaries didn't wear). Halloween seemed like a good excuse.

So, though he wasn't going to trick-or-treat, he did take this opportunity to wear his crazy-ass space bathrobe (http://www.seanmaher.info/gallery/albums/serenity/serenity_still_11.jpg) to dinner. The Great Hall was uncannily festive despite the horror of the Baby Sun outside the castle walls. Any culture as fixated on pumpkins as wizarding culture wouldn't let Halloween go to waste.

[i-am-harkonnen.livejournal.com]

Apparently, the attire of the upper crust society of Osiris wasn't that different from the fashion that the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen favored in his own time. As, it too was formal and rather Asian-influenced, and hence, was also mostly crazy-ass space bathrobes. And, he'd kept this style at Hogwarts, not really seeing where they were all that far off from wizarding fashion.

He'd gone to grab something from the library, and his route back ended up taking him through the Great Hall. He had every intent of merely passing through, as, there was something weird going on. It seemed to be some sort of insane Earth holiday that was perhaps best avoided. This when he saw a rather attractive young man, in a crazy-ass space bathrobe, rather different from his red and black one, but, still within Imperial fashion trends. He eyed him curiously- he wasn't anyone he knew of from the Imperium, at least.

Brienne had pretty much no imagination for coming up with creative costumes, even though Oly had tried to tell her that she should find some way to dress up. Her concession to the holiday was to leave Oathkeeper in her room and wear Muggle clothes.

She arrived at the Great Hall, admiring the festive decorations and glanced around as she grabbed some roasted pumpkin seeds. She spotted Simon's crazy ass bathrobe right away and walked over to him with a smile.

"What are you supposed to be?" she asked, by way of greeting. "That robe looks... festive."

[woocha.livejournal.com]

Aw, Simon looks pretty! Don't let him hear that Wishbone thought that though!

Trick or treat! Wishbone said merrily, wagging his tail.

What was the point of Halloween if you couldn't get dressed up? After digging through some old school uniforms, and with the help of a wig and some red lipstick, Fields was all decked out as a naughty schoolgirl (http://www.gemma-arterton.net/media/displayimage.php?album=385&pos=11) to go get some candy, and maybe some sugar, too.

[woocha.livejournal.com]

The 'naughty' part flew right over Wishbone's head.

Trick or treat!

[prettypendulum.livejournal.com]

"What?" Kuronue frowned. A confused look passed over him. He stared at Wishbone. "The hell is Trick or Treat?"

[woocha.livejournal.com]

It's what you do on Halloween! You dress up in a neat costume and you go to all your friends and neighbors and ask trick or treat! Then they're supposed to give you a treat, and if they don't, you get to trick them!

[meh-feet.livejournal.com]

Rin Tezuka's costume was very simple: A Yamaku Academy summer uniform for girls (the skirt worn over a pair of boxers worn OVER her underwear), a neon pink princess curl wig, and a ditzy grin.

Oh, right, and a tendency to laugh in a rather obnoxious manner.

"Trick or treat!" she said in her best airhead voice. "Help yourself to a Snickers bar from my bag, okay? Wahahaha~!
