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 - Fuchsia City, Other

[personal profile] maybeitsmabelline 2018-10-30 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Spooky Scary Skeletons - Fuchsia City]

[THE TIME HAS COME!!!

Halloween was finally here and Mabel was beyond excited! As usual she'd talked Dipper into doing a matching costume with her, the twins decked out as Plusle and Minun for the event as they set out to charm the town and claim ALL the candy!

Needless to say, Mabel was armed with a pillow case for the occasion.]


This way! Forward march!

[Fake ears bouncing on her head, Plusle!Mabel was giggling as she lead the way down the sidewalk with some of her Pokemon trailing behind her. Cotton the Umbreon--newly evolved!--was prancing along at her heels wrapped up in bandages like a mummy while a new addition to her team, a Stunky she was calling Tank, trotted along at his side with a pair of wings on his back and antenna on his head like a cute little bumblebee. Tabby Puss was dragging along a pumpkin bucket for his own candy haul, the Meowth decked out like Frankenstein as Edgar Collins and Bella Crawford flew along around the group dressed as Dracula and one of his brides.

Getting ready for the night had been a lot of fun.]


Come on Dipper! We've got houses to hit and we've got people to find!!


[Send shivers down your spine!~ - WARP PAD SHENANIGANS (please note where you are!)]

[Leave it to the Cat Gang to figure out that the warp pads had been hacked and were allowing free travel all over the place. Actually, leave it to Pussywillow to figure that out. The Purrloin, who was already a trickster, was in rare form that night because of something in the air and with Miss Bonnie the Skitty, Sassafras the Glameow, Ruby Riot the Litten and Pearl the Alolan Meowth in tow?

Things were going to be ten times worse than normal.

The Purrloin had led the group to the nearest Pokecenter and they'd used the Warp Pads to skip town, starting their journey across the regions to loot unsuspecting trick-or-treaters.

Don't be surprised if you find yourself swarmed by a seemingly sweet bunch of felines that just want to rub against your ankles and get scritches from you!!

They're really after your candy and goodies. And they may tie your shoelaces together or swipe things from your pockets. Are you going to let them close?]



[Shrieking skulls will shock your soul! - Anywhere!!]

Have you seen a whole bunch of cats anywhere?

[Mabel is out of breath but determined to track down her band of merry thieves that have apparently been gallivanting across the region pulling tricks on people all night, having been hopping the warp pads to track them down but so far she's been two steps behind them.

She's getting closer though!!

Still decked out like a Plusle, the little girl is going from town to town in search of the felines and approaching everyone--whether she knows them or not because this is Mabel we're talking about--to get information...and candy.]


There's five of them in total and a Purrloin is the leader!

[Beside her, Tabby Paws nods hurriedly, the Frankenstein Meowth looking exasperated with the shenanigans of his fellow felines.]

Have you seen them at all?

[It's funny how a while ago he would have tried to avoid this at all costs. But hey, the world almost ends and you learn a few things. Even if you do end up in another adorable costume. Still it's fun. He's got his own group with him of course and a pillowcase.]

I'm coming, I'm coming.

[Catching up with her.]

Wait, who are we looking for?
maybeitsmabelline: (❀25)

[personal profile] maybeitsmabelline 2018-10-31 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone!!! Sasha said she'd come meet us here so we have to find her and then we have to see if we can find anyone else! Who knows who else might be here!

[It's said excitedly as Mabel bounces about, her ears flopping about as she goes while her Pokemon mimic her excitement in their own ways.]

It's Halloween so we have to see everyone!!
starry_forehead: (Looking over the journal)

[personal profile] starry_forehead 2018-11-01 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright.

[Less excited about 'everyone', though he doesn't mind Sasha. She's fine.]

Do you know what they're all dressed up as? That might make it easier.

[Turn it into a mystery, then all the people isn't as bad.]
maybeitsmabelline: (❀18)

[personal profile] maybeitsmabelline 2018-11-08 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
No idea!

[Mabel's grin doesn't falter as she hop-spins about.]

So it's like a giant game of hide-and-seek! Or seek and find. However you want to look at it!
starry_forehead: (Supernatural stuff)

[personal profile] starry_forehead 2018-11-10 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He thinks this over for a moment, then nods.]

Alright. So people spotting and candy gathering. Sounds like a plan.

[Newt moves the hood up a bit so she can see better.]

Mabel? Um...no? I haven't seen .... Are you okay?

[Newt is dressed as a tiny ninja, all in black and has an impatient Absol next to her as well as some other pokemon.]
maybeitsmabelline: (❀11)

[personal profile] maybeitsmabelline 2018-10-31 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Newt!!!

[Mabel immediately brightens up and lunges at the other girl to give her a hug, bubbling with excitement.]

I'm totally okay--just cat hunting! Are you having a good Halloween??

[Cat hunt momentarily suspended. Friends way more important!]
sleepallthewayhome: (Thumbs up)

[personal profile] sleepallthewayhome 2018-11-01 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hug! Newt is getting better at those.]

Yeah! I've never done this before. I didn't think people would just give you candy if you dressed up, but it's true.

[Baby's first Halloween.]
maybeitsmabelline: (❀08)

[personal profile] maybeitsmabelline 2018-11-08 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mabel giggles as she draws back, hands still on Newt's shoulders.]

Of course they do!! That's the whole point of Halloween! It's the best holiday ever!

[She bounces a bit, Pokemon absolutely forgotten now.]

Want to trick-or-treat together?
sleepallthewayhome: (Newt and her mom)

[personal profile] sleepallthewayhome 2018-11-10 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
It is.

[Free candy and all you have to do is dress up. Best holiday ever.]

Sure! Vasquez, that's okay with you, right?

[Talking to an Absol with a small witches hat. The Absol seems more interested in going to the next house then having an issue with another person. Normally Ripley would be the one to ask but Vasquez has been the one most excited about the night.]

Okay, good.

[Doreen's dressed up in a vaguely viking-looking outfit, carrying around a foam warhammer. Sparks, her Pachirisu, is decked out in a winged helm that masks part of her face and a red cape, wielding her own suitably-sized Mjolnir replica.]

Sorry. I haven't seen any cats tonight, except your Meowth. And Lokitten.

[The Alolan Meowth, dressed in green and gold with a horned circlet, meows. He hasn't seen any of them either.]

Need any help looking for them?

[personal profile] maybeitsmabelline 2018-10-31 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tabby Puss peers over at Lokitten and blinks, tail flicking as lifts a paw to wave shyly at him.

Hello beautiful feline!]


If you aren't busy! We could use all the help we can get. [Mabel puffed her cheeks out then blew out a breath, hands on her hips.] I'm pretty sure they know I'm trying to find them and are purposefully avoiding me now.

[Lokitten bows, the gesture slightly flitatious. Whether or not there's any reason to read further into it is completely open to interpretation. Doreen hadn't named him.after the god of mischief solely because of his predilection for horned headwear, after all.]

It's probably all part of the game for them. You two wanna help?

[Lokitten shrugs. Sounds fun to him. Sparks raises her tiny hammer into the air, charging it up with a little bit of lightning, and chitters.]

For Asgard!

[Tabby mews softly and ducks behind Mabel in a flustered state, not very good at interactions like this even if there wasn't a reason to read further into it.

He's not as smooth as the other cats in Mabel's crew.]


You guys are the best! [Mabel thrust an arm in the air, mimicking Sparks's little pose.] Hopefully we can stop them before they do too much damage!

What's Asgard? [Excuse Tabby while he just looks confused.]

[Sasha still has no clue who she's supposed to be dressed up as, but if Mabel says it's a cool costume, then heck yeah it is! Omelette the Togepi is cradled in Sasha's arms as usual decked out in a pair of red horns with a red and black shirt and a pitchfork in one hand. Mabel said he's a Deviled Egg which is supposed to be some kind of pun, but it's also lost on Sasha. Omelette doesn't care either way, though. He's feeding off Mabel's excitement, yelling almost as loud as her about something Sasha can't understand.

And who could fight the excitement anyway? A whole night just getting free candy! It's the best holiday Sasha has ever heard of and why doesn't this happen more often? She'll take the spooks and the ghouls in exchange for all the candy she can cram into her gaping maw. The tricks part isn't so bad either, especially when it involves Sasha throwing a Pokeball at Mabel, attempting to "catch" her best friend.]
