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.

This is awful. They're going to be paranoid about all sorts of things now. "But... that doesn't make this make sense. Any of it." They wave a hand at the cobwebs again.

And about eight hours from now Walter will be a wreck, but he has no way of knowing that. 8'D

"Some of it is probably easier to digest if you believe in a higher power, but-"

He quashes the impulse to reach for the webbing himself.

"I haven't exactly had the best history with that sort of thing."

He sounds, if anything, a little apologetic.

Feste shrugs, non-committal. They're not quite sure how they feel about all that with a higher power and everything, so they have longer opted to not think about it and to clumsily change the topic whenever it comes up.

"I mean... I dunno. I'm not sure a lot would make this easier." It's really weird.

"That, I agree on. Having people you can talk to has helped, though - if any one of us had to go this alone..."

He shakes his head just a shade more rapidly than 'normal human rate', before stopping himself.

Oh goodness. "I feel like, if it was as weird as you say it is and I was alone, I would be pretty sure that I was going crazy." As it is they've felt weirdly out of it since they've gotten the number rattling around their head.

"Any occasion with dissociation is horrible enough on its own, if you ask me," Walter says, in utter agreement.

[personal profile] fairfeste 2018-11-08 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. That's why it's bothering them so much.

"....Yeah. That's a good point." Agh, why this.

[personal profile] iamnotgod 2018-11-08 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Another hard sigh.

He doesn't feel the need to ask why Feste's agreeing, at any rate.

"We can... keep in touch, okay? Off-Network, if you'd prefer."

Because Ben's smart tactic can work for others too.

Feste nods, a little meekly. "That might be helpful." They really don't want to just go to their mum with questions about this whole thing... and they suspect they're not going to want to share all of their new memories and things with her, either.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have paper on him. Damn it...

"Email works best, for me, but I can give you the number for the flat as well."

Because redundancy is certainly someone's best friend.

"Ok. Uh. Whichever works for me, I think."

They'll just open up a new contact info thing in their phone and hand it over. This is probably easiest...

Email and phone-number-passing commences! Without interfering Echo, which really is rather fortunate for today.

"Go ahead and send me something, so I'm not scrounging for yours later."

It's not as if he could forget it, now, but that's an ability of his he really doesn't want to come to rely on.

Potential recipe for disaster, there.

"Oh, yeah, sure." Feste looks down at their phone, firing off a quick text.

Walter will receive something from a new number in just a moment: This is Feste! ☆*:.。.o(≧▽≦)o.。.:*☆
iamnotgod: A man staring up and off to the right. (And He Asks Why.)

Bless Feste.

[personal profile] iamnotgod 2018-11-09 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
He's not going to see that text for a while, sadly, but it is appreciated nonetheless.

"... You take care today, okay?" Walter says, since this does seem like a natural conversation-ending point.

"I mean, as circumstances allow."

And they'd seriously better.
