Halloween! How do you it use it?

[Spikey]

Well my lot and me have a tradition. We always run Changeling at outdoor picnics in Summer and always have a spooky game (not always Changeling) at Samhain. I've run Hallow'een in Chicago when the 6th Maelstrom broke for my Vampires, Zombie hunting for my mortal hunters, A dungeon schlep into the catacombs of Rome for my Mummy's ...

The Hallow'een games nearly always center around the season itself (and you can only run just so many Samhain revels) but thats what I'll be doing this year on or near the day itself. I figured something to do with the birds sent out for the ritual of the Eidolon not answering or returning might be interesting. A story where they actually have to go find one of the Black Paths of Balor and follow it to the Shadowland's somehow. Like most things, I'll wing it on the night probably

When the Pooka comes to your door, and says, "Trick or Treat?" Give him all your treats, so he'll be to fat, dumb and happy to trick you.

This year, there will be CELEBRATION. Having "War for the Oaks" by my bedside, my masque on my lamp and the dress just waiting to be worn, let me tell you, tomorrow will be a blast or I shall be a sourpuss until Beltaine. Me and my friend the satyr are, predictably, going to indulge in Unseelie practices and enjoy the parade along the Royal Mile, and there will be pictures for you afterwards! (I mean, last year I was really inspired by a certain mother satyr who posted pics of her party).

And I would love to her from others, as well, that they at least plan to slip out and raid the local playground. I've found that to be an excellent night-time activity! You have aaaall the toys all by yourself.

I'm going to be doing homework, sadly enough.
But if I can get through the Banal hell known as pre-algebra it'll be worth it.
Wish me luck.

Well, I'll be saying farewell to mother. We'll be wrapping her frail pensioners body in newspaper and stuffing her in a box and tucking her in the gas cupboard under the stairs till next year where she'll snooze through Solstice and birthdays to claw her way out sometime March April providing she survives the winter (shes really going to Canada but thats what I'll tell anyone who asks where shes vanished to).

On top of that I'll also be gearing up for my ears bleeding after a night at the city hall with the pounding Japanese drummers of the Mugyenko troop for my second night of Asian decadence, the sequel to last month's rare treat of Imperial Court music.

I kind of missed out on scheming anything for Halloween but I can always scare the hell out of fools daring to knock upon the door, should I hear them of course.

^Same. Except an economics paper. FUN.

I've never had a Changeling Halloween. I'll just live vicariously through all of you and your fun!
... except you, Saint Michael. I don't like math. Good luck~~

(I threw a weird "hippie witch" costume together last minute for the office tomorrow. That's about it~)

DOING HOMEWORK ON THE H-DAY! BANNALIY:10!

DOING HOMEWORK ON THE H-DAY! BANNALIY:10!

How about closing at work AND opening the next day? >___< (This is the barista job, which makes it double-worse.)

Maybe I should just call out sick... actually, probably I'll just hop in my car at 10:15 when I'm done, drive like mad to the city, throw on some costume in the car, and enjoy the three hours I've got before things close, then come home and nap until the Samhain Mists come to clear it all away. Sounds like a plan, yeh?

That's effin hysterical! It had my wife rollin' when I called her over to read it!

Alec: Do! It'll be worth it :3

Probably, yes... it's one of my favorite days of the year, after all. Hell, maybe I should just go to work in costume... well, ok, no, they'd probably fire me. But still! It'd be nice.

I've been dressed as an eclectic fae five times in the past few weeks. Might as well go for six!

I'll swap the opening and closing, if you help me with math, A-Rav.

Give yourself over to absolute pleasure. Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh - erotic nightmares beyond any measure, and sensual daydreams to treasure forever. Can't you just see it? Don't dream it, be it.

Well, I followed the ineffable Dr. Furter's advice and went out last night anyway. Not only that, but I eschewed my fairly conservative fae garb for an angel outfit that was... well, revealing, let's say. There were a number of individuals at the clubs I went to that tried to get fresh, but I rebuffed them with my mighty wits. And then I got 3 hours of Misty sleep in time for work this morning. Hurrah for Samhain night!

(Somehow my Samhains always end up like Beltaines...)

Me and faun enjoyed the spectacle that is Samhain parade here in Edinburgh, where the Winter King takes his place as consort to the Queen. It was kinda awesome, and I really must post you pictures. We did even have the opportunity to bow before the ruling couple. Another girl from our little house also dressed up, with lots of nifty green-spiderwebbed black lace and a feathered mask and stuff, and the resident sluagh donned his top hat and white gloves and coat with the Malkavian sign They went home early, though.

Howeeever, we had to get up at seven in the morning Thursday, to get our rental car and go up to the Highlands, so there was far less reveling than I had hoped and wished for. But, Saturday we did our fare share, so I suppose that counts in.

Great to hear about you, Alec, that was a good choice! Will there be tales from this adventure, and pictures? ^-^ We absolutely must have the gossip.

With his wings, faun got some interesting comments, but the best detail was, I think, all the oh so straight guys coming up photographing him and saying shyly how cool he was.
Okay. So the leather kilt might have helped. But still. He DID look awesome. And it's always nice to see some variation on appreciation, other than just standard drooling from the opposite sex.

It's probably for the best that I don't have any pictures. (Although, one tale from the evening is that someone else, who I don't know, and who I will probably never see again, does in fact have some pictures...) But the tales of the evening are many and varied. For example, the adorable man who works down the other end of the shops was at one of the clubs, and very drunkenly informed me, "Every time I come to get coffee from you now I'm going to see you like this!" To which I responded, in my head, "Every time you come to get coffee from me now I'm going to think about how you're grabbing me in inappropriate places..."

And that, madam, is typical of the night.

So now, do you have photos of that?
