A very merry Halloween! [Mingle]

Date: 31st of October
Characters: Open!
Warning: Non-sexual desecration of formerly buried corpses


On the morning of Halloween, when people first step out of their houses, they will almost step into something.

A bucket of water. Every flat and every house in the Mossgate Boundary has a bucket placed in front of its entrance door (and sometimes, especially in Folkton and Moss Manor, the back door too), in which scary apples are floating. A little sign taped to the bucket reads: Have fun bobbing!.

But that's not the only thing that happened. The second thing that people will notice is that there are billions of spiders of all sizes crawling all over the town and villages, the military base, the Manor House... everywhere. And they certainly did their job - trees, lanterns, the higher attractions on the pier, and everything else that is high all over Mossgate Council is covered in thick layers of cobweb.

And lastly... those who pass by a church will notice something about the graveyards around them. Namely, that someone placed skeletons on top of most of the graves... Awfully real looking ones. Really, really awfully real looking ones. To some of them, the soil of the graveyard still clings, and the graves underneath them are in a state that betrays that they were dug up during the night. DNA tests would show that, indeed, the skeletons belong to the individuals buried in the graves.

Technically, this makes Sadie the second to mention it to him later that day. XD

"Control over spiders? Ability to make their own webs?"

Both possible, true, but still bizarre.

"It'd be the largest power in scope that anyone's received thus far, whatever it is."

"Maybe just a certain attractiveness to spiders, so they congregate in your wider surroundings?" It feels a lot smaller immediately if there is no conscious control of it...

Not that any of all of this feels remotely reasonable.

Oh, they likely have left the realm of reason long ago.

"That might make more sense."

Walter rubs his face.

"I do feel awkward just standing here, talking about spider powers of all things!"
catted: (serious)

"No more or less ridiculous than many other things that we could be talking about."

She sighs. "I wish that wasn't the case, though."

"Of those that do or don't have anything to do with Mossgate right now?"

Reality is Unrealistic, after all.

"We could change topics, if there's anything else on your mind?"
catted: (uh huh)

"...I do need to go to work." She shakes her head. "Life goes on despite all of this."

Then her tone turns dry. "I wouldn't be surprised if we get some people in today who got injured because they didn't look were they were going, too busy looking at this."

Walter snorts.

"You'd have my vote on that as well. I'd just hope none of these spiders are the aggressive sort..."

Though that didn't mean people couldn't provoke them.
catted: (uh huh)

"...Or venomous." She sighs. "I really need to get to work." Who knows how many cases of 'a spider bit me am I going to die' they'll get in today.

Walter nods quickly.

"I won't keep you longer, then. ... Do try to rest when you can, though."
catted: (professional smile)

She laughs. "I'll do my best.

Look after yourself, too." And with that she's off. She really needs to get to work, after all.
