This is Halloween
Event: This is Halloween
There comes a time once every year when the veil is thinner between the realms, and in a place like the City of Sin - already vexed by the ability to draw people in from every place imaginable - that isn’t always a good thing.
Though the City has been seeming very even of late - the sun’s been shining and nothing’s come to visit since the Darkness - there’s always a hint that maybe it’s all luring the City’s populace into a false sense of security. Few seem truly worried about the coming holiday, but there have been things that give people pause. The shadows, for example, creeping around just outside of one’s vision.
But no one can quite prove that those are actually the City’s doing. Still, it doesn’t seem to stop things from happening.
Regardless of everything that’s been going on - or perhaps because of it - the City goes on as normal, just as it always has. In fact, the Emperor seems to have something special under wraps. Word has it there’s a party being planned for the holiday, and that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Instead of setting it up at the Tower, though, it’s a much more down to earth bash, set up at OHM with the help of a few Chosen.
Sometime on October 27 (OOC: August 1 - 3), every citizen and Chosen in the City will receive a rather modern-looking invitation outlining the details of said event.

As with any Halloween party, costumes are highly encouraged. On the lower level of the club, there will be a more raucous party for those who care to take part in club-style partying, while the VIP area is reserved for those who’d rather celebrate the party with class.
---
Starting on the 27th as well, unbeknownst to the City, the shadows lurking around everyone’s peripheral vision will begin to solidify. Creatures rather like Dementors seem to creep out of the shadows, looming ever closer. Perhaps they even get close enough to touch; in that event, the air will feel cold and full of dread, though the shadowy creatures don’t attack any more than that. Yet.
As of the 31st, things will shift around a little more. Instead of appearing as Dementors, the shadows will start to appear as nightmares from characters’ own worlds: dead lovers, family, friends; some kind of thing that goes bump in the night; you name it. It’s as though all those fears from the past suddenly came back to say hello, just for a night.
As of November 1st, things will start to ease back to normal. The shadows will return to simply being shadows, though the paranoia that comes along with them may not fade so easily.
This is a mod-run event spanning from August 1 - 15 OOCly (October 27 - 31 in-game). There will be a log for the main event as well as reminders in the coming State of the Game.

- - Do I have to participate in any of this?
Not at all! The party will be open to all, but just because you attend the party does not mean you have to deal with any of the other very optional plot points going on. Your character may simply see people reacting to their shadows and believe them to have had too many drinks, for example. Or, if you like, you can opt out entirely. It is up to you!
- What kind of things can I have the shadows appear as for my character?
We recommend some kind of individual significant to your character’s life, particularly if they’ve died. This is, after all, when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest, and everyone loves dead friends and family coming back to haunt you!
- Is there anything else going on at the party?
There may be an interesting announcement or two. The Emperor will be in attendance, after all, and he’s always good for a spectacle.
