MISCHIEF NIGHT



Who: All the Dark-types put your paws up!
Where: Anywhere and everywhere!
When: Sunset on Halloween Night to sunrise on November 1st!
Summary: MISCHIEF NIGHT MISCHIEF NIGHT
Rating: G-PG13
Log:


There’s a sour-sweet wind a-blowing this eve as the sun hangs low and red in the sky. The leaves have turned, windows glow like jack-o-lantern eyes, and the streets hum with the excitement that the night will bring. There’s no mysterious trees growing straight out of the concrete this year, and there’s a palpable sense of relief as those who were waiting with bated breath for the other shoe to fall finally set about hanging up last-minute decorations and picking the candy aisles at every PokeMart bare.

It is Halloween, and for the first time in a few years, it would seem nothing is going to get in the way of the holiday.

… At least, right up until the last sliver of sun dips below the horizon.

A flock of Murkrow explodes up from the woods around Violet City, cawing in excitement. On the Sevii Islands, Alolan Rattata pop out of their burrows with bright eyes and quivering noses. In the glens outside Celadon City, the Houndooms start to howl.

Almost as one, all Dark-type Pokemon, big and small, young and old, stop and lift their noses to the crisp breeze. Something ancient tingles in their bones. Oh, tonight...tonight is their night. However much they may love their trainer, something higher is calling them. Mischief! Adventure! CANDY!

It’s time!

Fast or slow, brazen or sneaky, the sunset is the signal for each and every Dark-type to break away from their trainers and run off into the night. To do what? Well what do you think, silly humans? You know what night it is!

Some fashion their own costumes and go door to door earning sweet treats alongside the excited children who are out in droves. Or perhaps they might pursue some more unconventional treat-seeking avenues -- sometimes one man’s trash is another mon’s treat!

But there’s more to Halloween than candy; others will develop a nasty streak and put the ‘trick’ in ‘trick or treat’, upsetting outdoor decorations, frighten childrening and little old ladies, or even pantsing people! The horror! Anything can happen on Halloween!

Even the wild Dark-types are filled with the holiday spirit. Last year everyone was too wrapped up with that Ghost-type nonsense to properly enjoy Halloween, so they’re all too happy to make up for lost time. Harried trainers trying to track down their tricky runaways might find themselves befriending the Poochyenas, Murkrows, or even Alolan Meowths that have come out of the woodwork to celebrate. After all, what good is a grand trick if there’s no one to tell about it? What good is a tasty treat with no one to share? Even trainers who don’t have any Dark-types in their arsenal will find themselves approached by these wild Pokemon and invited to tag along!

A. Mahogany Town - Treats(?)
[Trick-or-treating hasn't really caught on in Japan, but that doesn't mean Yuuko won't take part in it. She's perfectly happy to give out candy to kids from her room at the inn, because it's always worth it to brighten up a kid's night. She only wishes her own kids were here to enjoy themselves, too.

For Halloween, she's wearing a Froslass-styled kimono for a costume, so she matches her own newly-evolved Froslass Shizuka who's accompanying her. If you pass by the Mahogany Town Inn, you'll see her at the door to her place, waving to some kids she just gave some candy to. Then she's approached by what looks like a little boy in a Zorua costume, who wordlessly thrusts out a plastic bag towards her.
]

Oh...hello again. You must really love this candy, huh? [Yuuko's starting to wonder about this kid since it's the third time he's approached her for candy tonight, and he hasn't said "please" or "thank you" or even "trick or treat", but she doesn't want to spoil a kid's fun. What Yuuko doesn't seem to notice is that the tail of the boy's Zorua costume is wagging. This may not be an ordinary kid...]

B. Anywhere - Tricks
[After Yuuko's done her time handing out candy, she'll go out and explore the festivities with Shizuka floating along next to her. She's also brought Twizzle the Sylveon, and even though Twizzle isn't a Dark type, she's still fond of playing tricks. So she might be using her ribbon feelers to sneak some candy out of an unsuspecting person's bucket...

Until Yuuko notices, that is.
] Twizzle! Stop that!

C. Wildcard
[Feel free to hit me up with anything else! She'll probably use the warp pads to travel around a little.]

sunspotted: at 50 cent beer night? (i was so drunk)

B!

[ twizzle hasn't stolen from just anyone - no, she's stolen from a shiny alolan meowth, who has a garbage bag tied around her neck like a cape. the meowth immediately turns, chattering in anger at the sylveon.

and then it's all made messier by an alolan vulpix dressed as red riding hood slamming into the meowth, trying to get her stolen pail back. give it here, fiend!

this is all followed by a tall boy with freckles, dressed as a vampire, coming up, looking a little overwhelmed. ]


Viola, Sushi - would you two cut it out?

[ to yuuko, he turns an apologetic look. ]

Sorry, this one's being a handful tonight.

[Yuuko looks flustered as well, trying to pull Twizzle away from the angry Meowth and Vulpix, who she's already making irritable noises at. Meanwhile, Shizuka the Froslass doesn't do anything to help, just watching with mild amusement.]

No, it's okay...I'm sorry about Twizzle, she's a bit of a prankster.
sunspotted: but you didn't have to bang them in the kitchen. just saying. (your friend was nice)

[personal profile] sunspotted 2018-11-02 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? We've been running into quite a few of those tonight.

[ there is definitely a tug-o-war going over the pail now. marco raises a hand and rubs at his forehead, not quite inclined to stop it since it keeps sushi in front of him for now. ]

Don't worry about it. I think there's something in the air or the water tonight.

Apparently a lot of strange things happen around here in October...I guess it's no surprise that something would make the Pokemon act up on Halloween.

[Then, out of the corner of her eye, Yuuko notices Twizzle trying to hide some candy she managed to get a hold of during that earlier scuffle.] Twizzle.

[Twizzle, looking guilty, uses one of her feelers to hand the candy to her.]
sunspotted: (where are my eyebrows?)

[personal profile] sunspotted 2018-11-05 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ viola manages to secure the candy pail back with a little growl. sushi herself gives an angry chatter, but marco raises the pokeball he caught her with and retrieves her - for the moment. she might break out again. ]

Strange things happening, I understand, but what could be making them act up so badly? My friend has been chasing her Absol over the entire region all night.

I'm really not sure...it mainly seems to be affecting Dark types, from what I've heard. Maybe that has something to do with it? [Twizzle's been acting up, too, but she's always been a bit of a troublemaker.]

sunspotted: at 50 cent beer night? (there are leaves in my underwear?)

[personal profile] sunspotted 2018-11-11 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It is supposed to be a night for them.

[ or so it's been explained to him, as far as he can understand it. viola gives a little chatter of noise to twizzle - don't touch her pail. ]

Is there something that would make them act up that happens tonight, though?
icecastlemadonna: (Ganesh)

[personal profile] icecastlemadonna 2018-11-12 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
There could be, but that would be the first time I'd heard of something like that. There's still a lot I'm learning about Pokemon. [But considering the kind of things they're capable of, she wouldn't be surprised.]
