Leaves swirl around your feet as you head out to the
backyard to get a pumpkin. You kick angrily at them before yanking the biggest
pumpkin off its vine. This year for Halloween your parents are going to send
you to Aunt Rachel and Uncle Richard’s house. Aunt Rachel always serves bland
porridge for breakfast and even blander spaghetti for dinner. There’s never any
lunch. Never any snacks. Never anything but water. No TV. No internet. No cell
service. No books. It’s surprising they even have electricity and running
water! You set the pumpkin on the porch and stomp into the kitchen for a knife.
Oddly, there’s a wicked-looking black one with a white handle on the counter.
You shrug and grab it. Back on the porch, you cut into the top of the pumpkin. “I’m
going to win the Jack ‘O Lantern contest no matter what!”, you exclaim, then
add bitterly, “Since it’s the only thing I’ll get to do for Halloween anyways.”
You take off the top of your pumpkin and reach inside to grab a handful of
seeds, but feel... Nothing... You pull out your arm and peer inside the hole.
There is something long and brownish in there. You stick your hand in again and
pull it out. It’s a tootsie-roll! “How could that have gotten in there?” you
ask out loud. You un-wrap it, and instead of finding chocolate, you find a
tightly rolled note. You take it out. It reads:
Dear VPT (Victim of
Parental Torture),
I’d like to offer you
an escape from the horribleness of bland porridge and spaghetti. I’m hosting an
overnight stay for as long as need be at my mansion. All Hallows Eve Manor (AHEM)
will open its doors to any CBer who wishes to come and stay for the duration of
time that they wish. AHEM offers: The Candy Suite, The Haunted Library, The Bat
House, The Dungeons, The Ghost Wing, Ibrahimbimmy’s Awesome Exclusive Deluxe
Renowned Restaurant, The Theater, The Costume Palace, The Wish Room, The Locked
Door, and much, much more. So much, in fact, that you might never want to
leave!
See you soon,
Candy
P.S. Bring your own
trick-or-treat bags.
P.P.S. If you
misbehave, Panthera will escort you away to an isolation cottage in the Veiled
Woods. Try not to go insane, please. I hate calling asylums.
P.P.P.S. Please don’t
kill each other with light sabers. The light hurts my eyes. Dueling is only
allowed if the participants use normal swords, and the audience buys their own
popcorn.
P.P.P.P.S. I will pick
you up at 11:30 pm in three days. Just wait on your roof.
“Awesome!” you think, “A Halloween sleep over party at a
spooky mansion for as long as I want with no porridge or spaghetti? I’m coming
for sure!” You run up to your room to pack your bags, totally forgetting about
the pumpkin.
So! Halloween in a
spooky mansion, held by a mysterious person named Candy. Who’s up for it? Just
tell me what you and your AEs’ and CAPTCHAs’ Halloween costumes are and you’re
in! You have three days to sign up, but I might
accept late arrivals depending on how much Halloween candy they give me. Also,
feel free to guess who I am!

*Shrugs* Sure, I'll join.
Puck, Diovald, Ariel, and Sir Galahad will all be joining me.
Diovald is bringing his picture of Elsa, (which he keeps close to his heart! :) and will be dressing up as a dementor from Harry Potter,
Puck is bringing her prank bag, and will be dressing up as her name sake "Puck" from Shakespeare's "The Tempest,"
Ariel is bringing a sword and his saphire pendent which Saphira gave to him, and will be dressing up as "Chat Noir" from "Miraculous Ladybug"
Sir Galahad (my CAPTCHA) is bringing his sword, and will be dressing up as a ninja,
and I will be bringing my sword, camera, a couple books, 2 daggers (hidden in my boots) and 5 trick or treat bags. I will be dressing up as Joan of Arc. If that is not acceptable, then I will be dressing up as a "Smarty Pants."
(October 12, 2016 - 5:50 pm)
Ooh, yes!
I'm bringing......
Saphira, who doesn't really need to dress up. She has blue hair, blue eyes, and blue clothing. She can turn into a blue fire breathing dragon.
Sir Richard, who is dressing up as a knight. He's one anyways.
Echosong, who is dressing up as a Greek goddess. She is wearing a long, flowing white dress, and a golden wreath in her hair.
And I am dressing up as....... ug, I WANT SOMETHING DR. WHO THEMED!!!!!! Oh well. I'll dress up as a fall queen, with a long, trailing dress made out of autumn leaves, and an amber scepter, crown, and pair of shoes.
Luna's a sassy grey wolf with blue eyes.
*xhxu*
Shoes...... 'fraid I can't do that for you. So, wear this cotton candy headband instead!
*Fine. You owe me a can of tuna.*

Even more candy

Whoops, forgot the costumes!
I will be dressing up as one of the Sisters from Kubo and the Two Strings
Cortana will be a Shadowhunter
And Chester will be a bumblebee!!!
(October 13, 2016 - 12:36 am)
Coming with Queenie and Anna!
Queenie's obviously going to be a queen!
Anna's a huntress in light brown tights and a short, green dress to her knees with brown ankle boots and two braids.
And I'm going to be a vampire princess with a black dress, black ankle boots, a black cape, and fangs! I dont' know why... I just thought of a random halloween thing. XD
(October 12, 2016 - 8:59 pm)
This is Candy - Could you please post what you and your AEs' Halloween costumes are? Otherwise you guys won't get to participate in the costume contest. Thanks!
Oh! And I'm limiting it down: five more people can join. You guts have a lot of AEs! (And CAPTCHAs)
P.S. CAPTCHA says "endo". It's not the end yet! Be patient.
(October 12, 2016 - 11:04 pm)
Ooohh definitely coming. With Fia and Gossamer, of course. Actually, I'll take Muriel as well.
My costume is going to be Elizabeth Schuyler.
Fia (AE) is going to be a forest fire. I'm not sure how that's going to work out, as she might accidentally start one if she's not careful with her wings... I learned the hard way that some parts of her wings (mainly the outer edges) are made of real flame *gulp*.
Gossamer (AE) is going to be a Sorceress with a long, black, flowy, mysterious looking gown, and a dark dark blue cloak. She plans to show off her wings, as well. Luckily, hers are not destructive in any way that I have discovered...
Muriel (CAPTCHA), since she's a wolf, isn't going to dress up. Although I may manage to get her to wear one of those TY tags, to look like one of their stuffed animals... Yes, that's what I'll do, but it will be a struggle.
Anywho, I'm excited!!! And Muriel says 'tbah' Maybe she wants to be a tuba... It's a good idea, but too complicated for my skill level. Sorry Muriel, but you're going to be a stuffed toy for this Halloween! :)
(October 13, 2016 - 7:43 am)
If no one else wants to join, can we please start now? I'm really excited for this? Everyone, what are you going to be for halloween?
(October 14, 2016 - 5:06 pm)
Sure! Sorry I didn't answer back sooner, I was on a camping trip. So here's the list:
Moonlight
Daisy
Bolton, Beth, Bombett, Burt
Joan
Puck, Diovald, Ariel, Sir Galahad
Autumn Leaves
Saphira, Echosong, Luna
September
Cortana, Chester
Alexandra
Queenie, Anna
Kestrel
Fia, Gossamer, Muriel.
If you're not on the list, let me know. I'll get out my evil writer's pencil and the cowboy hat of death and get started right now! I'll try to post the first day this afternoon or tomorrow.
CAPTCHA says "fpav". He/she means that Halloween is her favorite Holiday. It's mine too!
(October 15, 2016 - 12:32 pm)
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! No asylum can hold me!
But a jail can.
Hush. The last few years of my life were quite traumatic.
Few? You were in jail for 25 years!
True...
