HALLOWEEN PARTY

[halfbloodhillmods]

Who: The entire camp!
What: Mr. D has moved up his festival of Apokries to coincide with Halloween! It's time to party! Where: All around the camp!
When: Thursday, October 31st
Why: Because, why not?

It was decided earlier in the month that to coincide with the holiday of Halloween, and to give campers a bit of fun after all this nonsense, that Mr. D would be holding his festival of Apokries early! As such the entire camp has been decked out in all sorts of spoooooky decorations.

It's as though a carnival has been set up over night, with music and food all around. There are satyrs and nymphs handing out candy at cabins (smarties for Athena, warheads for Ares, ect.) for any people wanting to trick or treat,  and campers running around in costumes. 

The ampitheatre has once again become a designated dancing spot, and Apollo might have returned to DJ, the arena miiiight have been transformed into a bit of a Haunted House (with special thanks to Hecate), and Demeter has set up a corn maze for campers to navigate through! 

It's time to have some fun!

THE ARENA

[salvagedlight]

[As per John's insistence,, the three Jupiter boys are geared up in full jumpsuits and light-up backpacks as the Ghostbusters. They didn't go so far as to figure out which one of them would be who, but it didn't really matter because seriously Ghostbusters. It's a lot of kids' childhood dream come true.]

[Ven is outside the Arena, staring up at it, wondering if he wants to go in. He's not afraid of scary stuff, but he's also not really into it, so he could honestly do either one.]

[Naomi is afraid of scary stuff and yet here she is standing outside the arena in her Atalanta costume. She keeps adjusting the grip on her fake spear, trying to will herself into going in.

She hasn't managed to do it, and ends up walking over to Ven timidly.]

Are you going in...?

[salvagedlight]

[Really Naomi, pretty much all of camp would think of you as the last one to go into a place like this. You're a Demeter kid and you couldn't climb down from a tree; you want to go into a spookhouse that Hecate herself created? Ven blinks a little at her question, raising a hand to scratch the back of his head under his goggle strap lightly.]

I'm thinking about it. Why?

[serenesuccessor]

[Yeah. But it's Halloween. You're suppose to do things that scare you, right?

Plus, hey! She's gotten better about getting stuck in trees! She can make her own ladders now.]

'Cause I wanted to try goin' in but, um, I don't wanna go alone and it's scary looking...

[It's another attempt of her being brave. One day she'll realize that she really doesn't have to prove anything.]

[salvagedlight]

[Not if you can't face them, not if they genuinely terrify you. No one will think any less of you, Naomi.]

[But he hears that implied question, and he smiles and holds out a hand to her.] If you really want to, let's go - maybe it won't be so bad with someone else, right?

[serenesuccessor]

[She hesitates, but takes his hand.]

I don't know if I wanna but, um, I don't wanna be one of those things I regret later?

[salvagedlight]

[He gives a small shrug at her hesitation.] Only go in if you really want to go in, not because of what other people will think about you later. If you don't want to regret it later... I guess I can see that. And if it gets really bad, I can fly you out of there quick.

[wordtechgodhood]

[He doesn't even need to ask. As soon as he sees Ven he knows, much to his partial shame and partial amusement, exactly what he's meant to be and he can take a good guess at whose idea it was, too.

Hands in his pockets, he moves silently up to Ven and stands a step behind him for a moment or two before he speaks.]

Scary shit, huh.
