VOICE;
I sincerely hope that we're not going to be subject to the same annoyances as last year for Halloween, but I think I'd like to dress up again this year. It's a cultural tradition in Genessia, after all, so I wouldn't want to miss out on the festivities.

Who already knows what they are planning on masquerading as this year?





TEXT; locked to housemates
I took the liberty of having a couple of fruit trees planted in the front and backyards. It should help with the fruit problems in the future since I have my doubts that Sun is going to stop stealing everyone's fruit even when I buy extra for him. >:(

[ Yeah feel the burn of that emote, Sun. ]

[Azalea hasn't heard of Halloween, but the mention of festivities and dressing up gives a clue that it's some kind of holiday.]

I've never heard of Halloween before. Is it a holiday?

[Video]

[whiteas]

Yes. It's not celebrated in every world and even within the worlds that it is, it's not spread across all cultures. But it is celebrated here in Genessia. I did some research on it last year and published some information about it that you're more than welcome to read.

[ Attached there is a link to her previous year's Halloween inquiry post. ]

[Video]

[azaleafae]

[Azalea takes a few moments to read the info.]

I see. It sounds kind of similar to a couple of elemental holidays in Sornieth: the Trickmurk Circus and the Riot of Rot. Coincidentally, the Riot of Rot also takes place in October.

[Video]

[whiteas]

What is the Riot of Rot typically about? [ That sounds a little gross in Weiss's opinion, and that opinion is somewhat reflected in her tone. ]

Housemates

[monkeystowaway]

Hey! Fruit consumption was already high in this house before I moved in! So what do you have to call me out out of everyone!

[whiteas]

It was only high because you stole it then instead of ate it as a housemate. [ So there! ] Anyway, isn't this good news for you? Stop complaining, you're getting even more and fresher fruit.

[monkeystowaway]

I'm complaining because you are making it seem like it's all on me! Having a fruit tree will be nice, though..I can lounge in it and eat fruit once they are all nice and ripe. [His mouth is almost watering thinking about it.]

[whiteas]

It may not all be on you, but it's at least 85% on you.

"I have never heard of Halloween, but I do enjoy masquerading.
When does the party begin?"

[Although, she wasn't actually allowed to attend masquerade parties back home. This would be her first one.]

[Video]

[whiteas]

I haven't planned a party for Halloween myself, but I have no doubt one will be announced soon. There always is.

[Video]

[innocent_royal]

"An exciting thought. I should shop for a costume before the announcement so I can be ready. Can you recommend a store to me, Miss Weiss?"

[Video]

[whiteas]

I had mine custom-tailored last year, so I'm not exactly an expert in costume stores. I can recommend a tailor if you want, though.

[hatedbloodline]

[ She didn't have a 'Halloween' where she was from, but it didn't take much to look up and find out what it was before responding. A bizarre tradition, if anything. ]

I have not given thought to something like that - although it may be amusing to see my servant wear a costume. [ Oh he would pitch such a fit, she couldn't help but grin at the thought. Also - ]

And what happened last year..?

[ Video ]

[whiteas]

Last year a bunch of people turned into their costumes. I doubt it'll be a repeat this year, however.

[ Her tone is more 'it better not be.' ]

Re: [ Video ]

[hatedbloodline]

Turned *into* their costumes? Oh my..! [ She sounds skeptical about that, but judging from the tone in Weiss' voice, she supposed it was true. ]

I have never heard such madness in my life..! - how was such a thing even possible?

[ Video ]

[whiteas]

You clearly haven't lived here for long. Strange things are something you get used to.. in a manner of speaking.

[ It's hard to really 'get used to' weird things like that. ]

[Video]

[skilledwithwords]

What sort of costumes are common?

[She might as well ask.]

[Video]

[whiteas]

All types. I believe the point is to dress as something you are not. A doctor going as a doctor would be a terrible costume, but a doctor going as a princess would be acceptable. There is a high emphasis on horror-based costumes, but there aren't any strict rules about what you can and cannot dress as.

[Video]

[skilledwithwords]

I see.

[Levy smiles.]

I can't wait to try it then. Maybe we can dress as something we always wanted to be?

voice;

[eighthchild]

Oh, so people are wearing costumes for Halloween? I.. don't actually know what I will want to do.

voice;

[whiteas]

I doubt you're the only one. It's best to get started thinking early so you have time to make plans.

voice;

[eighthchild]

That sounds simple enough. Though I might see how busy I am before making plans. I wouldn't want animals to ruin anything I would wear as a costume after all.

[gammavirginis]

I don't think I'd have to dress up as anything to 'fit in' but I never miss a costume opportunity.

I might give Troll Morticia a try.

[whiteas]

Troll Morticia?

[gammavirginis]

[ She'll just upload a screencap from her Fester-Top ]

She's one of the main characters from one of my favorite films. I'll spare you the name it's rather long.
