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!
10/31 - Mahogany Town
[Newt hadn't been sure what to dress up as for Halloween, but then she saw a neat costume and made a version of it herself. She's dressed completly in black and only her eyes are showing. Yes, it's a tiny ninja. Who is trying to hide in the shadows. She's talking to a Growlithe, so feel free to notice her.]
What if I move it down so that my eyes are hidden.
....I can see a little.
[Treats]
[For some reason, her Absol, Vasquez is really into trick or treating this year. And with a witches hat on the pokemon's head, is accompanying Newt as they go door to door.
She's also sticking close to Newt in case any bigger kids try to steal her candy. Or maybe she's just watching everyone warily more then usual.]
How much candy do you get on Halloween?
[Newt meanwhile has decided, Vasquez is apparently the expert on Halloween. ...somehow.]
Treats
Hello! Wow, that's a great ninja costume. [It's kind of funny to her how she ended up staying in a town that supposedly has ninjas when her own hometown's big tourist attraction is a former ninja house.]
Treats
[Newt is starting to have fun. The free candy helps, and so does her pokemon's enthusiasm.]
Do you have Halloween where you're from?
no subject
We do, but I'm from Japan, and we don't celebrate it as much as other countries do. People will dress up, but trick-or-treating hasn't really caught on.
no subject
Really? But you get free candy.
[How can you not want free candy?]
no subject
no subject
...What's Children's day?
no subject
no subject
....what did the kids without parents do?
no subject
And if there's anyone who doesn't have somebody to celebrate it with, I hope that can change for them someday.
no subject
I like Halloween here. Vasquez seems to really like it too. It's kind of weird, normally she's more....careful around people.
[The Absol with the witches hat on is just off to the side, waiting for them to resume the candy hunt.]
no subject
no subject
[Neither has Newt.]
But it is fun.
no subject
I'm glad everyone's having fun tonight! I've never taken part in trick-or-treating before, so it's been fun for me, too.
no subject
That makes sense.
Yeah. There's lots of people out here.
no subject
[Shizuka the Froslass stifles a laugh behind her hand. She's only recently become a Ghost type, but she still finds nights like this fun.]
treats
Sol-sol.
[ Until he's handed candy of his own. He seems well pleased by this, tossing his forelock, trotting along the path and nodding to Vasquez in passing. Treating your Trainer? His had been less enthused, and he hand't been able to keep himself from the urge to go. ]
treats
She was worried but she's having fun now. It's lots of fun.]
no subject
He prances forward and sideways, stepping off the sidewalk onto well groomed gravel.
The warp pads are all open, you know! If your trainer wants to get the most candy she can! ]
no subject
Really? That's good to know. Did something happen to them?]
no subject
Someone hacked the system. I don't know which Pokemon it was, just that their trainer works at the Centre. Now Pokemon and trainers are traveling everywhere in Kanto and Johto. That's an incredible amount of candy potential!
The dedication to candy procurement is strong with him tonight. ]
no subject
That is a good idea. Thank you. I shall make sure my trainer gets to one tonight.
It's strong with her as well.]
no subject
May all the candy come you and your trainer's way!
Then he and his chiming bell weave into the crowd, set on his next candy procurement task. ]
