Homecoming Carnival, The Park, Friday

[bigdamnprincipal]

The weather had been kind, and it was just the right amount of cool for a Halloween-themed Homecoming carnival. The booths and activities were ready for visitors, and the Halloween decorations and spooooky music playing everywhere aimed to set the right kind of mood for everyone.

Yes, there was also black and orange glitter everywhere, because of course there was. Feel free to take some home with you, because it's going to be difficult not to!

Covent Garden Flowers, Friday (10/29)

[notarockharpist]

Yasha was splitting her time today between reading (she still had so much to catch up on) and trying her hand at jack o'lantern carving, wondering if Caduceus would have Opinions on this whole Halloween thing.

From the look of it the reading was going much better than the carving was, if only because the small safety knife that came with the pumpkin carving kit was tiny and dull -- and to be totally honest, looked ridiculous in her very large hands -- and the process of using it left her visibly frustrated. Not to would-like-to-rage levels, luckily, but unmistakably frustrated.

Maybe she could use her sword to do it? Sure, it was six feet long and very heavy, but she'd used it to give Caleb a very good shave once with no injuries to speak of! She could totally do a different kind of precision work with it! The craftspeople who'd made it back in the Age of Arcanum would probably cry knowing what kinds of use Magician's Judge got put to in Yasha's hands, but that was hundreds of years ago and they didn't need to know.

...but that was why, if you happened to glance inside the shop at the right times, you might be treated to the sight of a nearly six-foot-tall woman looking thoughtfully at a relatively small pumpkin while holding a considerably sizable greatsword in one hand and scratching thoughtfully at her chin with the other.

Nothing to worry about! (No, really, it would be fine, except for maybe the pumpkin.)

Rey's warehouse- Friday morning

[thatwaslucky]

Thanks to the carnival, today's schedule had been adjusted slightly, since Rey knew Anakin would be spending that time getting dunked. Some institutions needed to be upheld.

It didn't throw her off much, since she was training around this time normally every other day, so she got out a few remotes on high and throwing on a blindfold to do some drills. Nice and easy today.

The Arms Hotel, Friday

"I know we have a homecoming banner somewhere. Are you sure you looked all the way in the back of the closet?" Mary asked, her voice slightly muffled as she dug through a box of decorations. The housekeeping staff were gathered around her, looking warily at the janitor's closet where a banging noise could be heard. Gunther mumbled something in German as he placed the last of his pumpkins in place on the buffet, each one carved with a letter to spell out "Happy Halloween!"

The Devil's Nest, Friday Night

[my_own_advocate]

There was a carnival thing in town, like there had been last year. Lucifer may have gone to harrass everyone in the booths just to entertain himself, but no. He had more important things to do.

Specifically, negotiating the purchase of a club on the mainland.

"Look, I already agreed on the price, I don't know why you need my assurances about the presence, or lack thereof, of blood stains on the floorboards. Who do you think I am? Some kind of thousand-year-old Viking vampire?"

He leaned back against the counter and motioned at Tiny for a fresh drink.

"Oh, she was twelve hundred years old and from Romania. Apologies. I'm still not one."
