Halloween Mingle!

[abracafcku]

Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Mingle Post for the Halloween and Drift period!
When: 10/28-11/11

It's time for a spooky candy-filled drift, Flooters! And because no Halloween is complete without a few tricks...a mini player plot! If you'd rather just have a normal mingle, feel free to ignore it and tag about as normal!

===
On the Iskaulit for interested parties there are a few bowls of candy gathered from all the ships. It's a random assortment! The bowls are left in high traffic areas and they can be moved about, so feel free to say your character ran into the bowl wherever you like! Even in the bathroom? Who knows! Fancy hotels do it, so why not the Fleet.

Upon consuming candy taken from the bowl however, the character will have their hair or skin temporarily change color to something not their natural shade. This is a harmless illusion spell and can last anywhere from 1 to 8 hours - player's choice! What colors? Also player's choice! Want to go mauve for the day? Sure! Blue and green? Go for it! Rainbow glitter? Why not?

This is a completely harmless spell though, so while it looks like they've changed colors, it is not a real physical change. After a few hours, the effects wear off and everything is back to normal. Happy Halloween♥

[Kova is pleased by the offering, speeding up his approach to sniff at Prompto's hand for the treat.

His former crewmate isn't far behind him, appearing down the hall, strangely enough wearing her costume. Although her hair is also a bit colored as well, thanks for that, Taako.]

The treats are in the kitchen, if that is what you have come for.

[this_loser]

[He gives Kova the treat, and a little pet, before standing up with a grin.]

Nah. Just wanted to swing by and see how the ship's doing. Say hi. [Small wave.] Hi.

[shroudedsecrets]

Hello.

[Please, Prompto, you know she's bad at this. Still, it is... strangely nice, to see him there.]

We have had a few changes since you were here last. Our new chef is... quite talented, as you can see.

[this_loser]

[Practice makes perfect, HP.]

Yeah, I see. It looks good! It's nice to have a good chef on board, huh?

[shroudedsecrets]

[She understands the worth of putting in an effort. Not that it makes it any less difficult.]

... It has been different. He is a very insistent person, but ... perhaps it was needed.

[It surprises her, to be able to admit such a thing.]

You should try his meals sometime, if you have the chance. He could use more people who ... appreciate his menus.

[Another thing she is not good at. But at least she sets and decorates the table?]

[this_loser]

[He grins. You're doing great, HP.]

I'd be happy to!

[That's an awesome table set up.]

Dig the skulls. Is this just a holiday thing, or all year? Oh hey, what can I do to help?

[shroudedsecrets]

Until we tire of it, I presume.

[She was just being Extra and then a Holiday had to go and pop up and make it work for the occasion. Thanks, Atroma!]

... Help? In what capacity? You are a guest here now.

[this_loser]

[It's cool either way.

He shakes his head with a grin.]

I can still help out though. I'd be a poor guest if I just let you do everything.

[shroudedsecrets]

That is fair.

[There is a slight pause, as she thinks it over.]

... Although I admit, I cannot think of anything that requires immediate attention. So you are welcome to... relax or partake as you would see fit.

[this_loser]

[He relents, plopping into one of the chairs.]

Alright. But only if you do too.

[Sit, lady.]

[shroudedsecrets]

[...Oh.

She looks at him for a moment, before shrugging slightly and taking her own seat, the cat curling up at her feet.]

Has the new ship made things... easier for you?

[In terms of needing to be distracted. She didn't doubt that he probably was still having trouble in some way.]

[this_loser]

[He grins when she complies.

Distracted is a good word for it.]

Yeah, it has. We lost some people there, too. But Kaname has helped. A lot. It's nice being on the same ship.

[shroudedsecrets]

[She's trying. Baby steps. But she knows for all his cheer, he's sensitive too.]

It makes sense for you to want to be nearer someone you have... strong bonds with, when you had already lost so much.

[It wasn't as if they were the best bunch for that, here on the First Breath.]

I am glad you are doing better.

[this_loser]

Yeah. Lucky me, she wanted me there.

[He laughs at his own joke. He and Kaname had already talked about his moving before - but Noctis and Luna had still be around and he couldn't in good conscience leave them. Despite that, until Kaname's happy reaction to his relocation, he'd harbored some doubts.]

Thanks. But how are you doing?

[He worried about her.]

[shroudedsecrets]

You seem as if you had doubt.

[To being wanted. But she can't help but notice such things, even with her quiet delivery of the words.

Even though she can't help her mild surprise at his inquiry, even if she shouldn't be surprised at it from him. Her eyebrows draw together slightly.]

I am... fine enough, I suppose.

[Not desperately seeming as if she needs a distraction, but perhaps still gloomy in her usual way.]

[this_loser]

Oh, I always have doubt. It's my superpower.

[He's really, really good at it!]

Yeah? [Fine enough isn't good enough. He leans forward a bit, all kinds of concerned.] Is there anything that might help you be more than fine?

[shroudedsecrets]

... No.

[There is, but she does not think that's something Prompto can give to her.]

There is... something I must do. Someone I must speak to. But I do not know if it would be enough.

[this_loser]

[Probably not.]

It's a start. Someone in the fleet, then?

[shroudedsecrets]

They are in the fleet. But our situation is... complicated, even more than I had once thought.

[And it might not help her be "fine" at all, but it was still... something.]

[this_loser]

[He nods, sympathetic.]

I hope it works out for you, one way or another. But seriously, if you need anything at all, you let me know, okay?

[shroudedsecrets]

You are kind to offer that to me, still.

[She still wasn't used to it. But there was something soothing about his company, anyway.]

... Do you have your cards? We could... try to play again. If you would care to.

[this_loser]

Yeah? [Did she just...?]

I mean, yeah! I got 'em!

[He quickly digs into a pocket to produce the cards. Not passing this chance up!]

[shroudedsecrets]

[She won't ask him for a hug. But she can ask for this distraction. She's not nearly as stressed out as she was the last time, but there still are... issues...

And Prompto could probably still use distractions. A mutual win.]

... Good. Then let us play, before the others return.
