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!

[ He makes a face at her. Walking faster, he strides past Natalie, determined to continue onward. ]

[clearasil]

[ She just shakes her head after him, not caring about getting to the other end first. What does concern her, however, is the quiet rumble behind her. Holding her breath, she hurries after him, just as her own illusion begins to disintegrate to reveal the pit again. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He glances back at her with a grin, hardly noticing the bridge falling, or the rumble following them. But when he looks forward, he finds two red eyes watching him and stops suddenly with a yelp. ]

Your mom doesn't do things halfway, does she? [ He asks, gagging at the smell of foul breath on his face. ]

[clearasil]

Family trait.

[ Natalie can't help but snigger despite the gross smell filling her nostrils, making her eyes water. She reaches for his hand again for a little stability. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

But does she have to make it so realistic? [ He complains. ] She can't make this thing smell like roses, or candy corn?

[ It growls at him, obviously unsatisfied with that suggestion. He shrugs helplessly. ]

[clearasil]

Go big or go home. It won't bite.

[ She chuckles. ] I don't think a minty fresh beast would freak out other people. [ She narrows her eyes at the creature. He wasn't so big. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

We could ask if it wants a mint. I've got plenty. [ He pulls out the pack of mints from his belt, offering the whole thing to it. And it... actually took them. Now Leo's left surprised for a completely different reason than what he came here for. ]

[clearasil]

[ Her shoulders slump when her jaw drops. ] I have no idea what to expect in this place, man.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ Leo's trademark grin is back in a flash as the creature - a hellhound? Mrs. O'Leary never smelled that bad - took off running. ]

Awesome things, obviously.

[clearasil]

Maybe if we just gave all the Hellhounds breathmints and a little R-n-R, it might help their cause.

[ She still grins back at Leo before turning a corner, eager for the next happy haunt. Hopefully it will be less smelly. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He follows her, grinning and ready to be scared for real. ]

I'd be in a bad mood, too, if my breath was that awful. That is truly terrifying.

[clearasil]

[ Suddenly, Mistforms in the shape of the trio of 1980s horror baddies appear in their path and Natalie actually yelps before her scream turns into a laugh. ]

Shit! [ She tries waving them away, but as soon as she does so, the walls around them shift into some version of Freddy Kreuger's nightmare factory. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

What'd you do?! [ He demands, looking around at their new surroundings. They're so gonna die, but he's still grinning. ]

[clearasil]

I did nothing! [ She snaps - well, it would be snappish if she wasn't still laughing. ] Come on, let's see what's up ahead.

[commandertoolbelt]

It only changed when you moved!

[ He'd keep arguing, but she's already leaving him behind. And he can't get lost in this place alone - he's already planning to get lost in the corn maze later. ]
