SKELLINGTON HOUSE 2: NO BONES ABOUT IT

Who: Anyone in Goldenrod
Where: Goldenrod City, Jack's House
When: October - 25 + Halloween
Summary: Jack has teamed up with Joker to create his best haunted house yet! There are clowns.
Rating: PG
Log:





Characters may either walk or make their way from the circus on a pitch black buggy pulled by two real flaming night mares.

[HAUNTED HOUSE]
It towers over the street with all its crooked windows lit in ghoulish green. The siding has all been painted black. Pumpkins and Pumpkaboo overflow from every available ledge and smile grimly out at passers by. Walk by the wrong one and you're in for a scare! What seems to be a localized thunderstorm (rain dance + thunderbolt) boils overhead but has not yet released its downpour. Carnival music wails from somewhere. Noibat, TWENTY OF THEM, swoop down at the guests waiting in line. On the front lawn, Jack stands behind a rickety ticket booth dressed head to toe as a carnival barker in bold green and orange, his face painted in a grim echo of his true self. He waves his straw hat to the gathering customers and laughs darkly to himself as screams reverberate from the house behind him.

Guests are herded in as groups as small as one and as large as six and are spaced out fifteen minutes apart so that one can always hear the others' terror.

The house takes a good twenty to thirty minutes to go through at a brisk walk and that's if you don't get lost or distracted with the mirrors and puzzles. The tail-end of the maze will land guests in the foyer where they began with the entire ghoulish cast of Pokemon hot on their heels, seeing them all the way to the exit. Any guests wanting to go through a second time will find a completely different experience. The walls seem to have...to have moved!

Price of admission is 1500P.

[HAUNTED MAZE]
This year the attraction has grown! Behind the house sprawls a hedge maze filled with fog and spooks. The maze is complex, draped in spiderwebs, lined with pumpkins, and has an enormous foggy fountain in the center. Anyone who reaches this fountain will retrieve a voucher for a free Rare Candy from Jack himself. It wouldn't be Halloween without candy! The hedges move thanks to some mischievous Skiddo and a Carnivine. Cast members from the house may also be found in the maze.

Anyone who tries to cheat by climbing the hedges or using a flying Pokemon will find themselves scolded by the hoard of Noibat circling above.

The maze is not part of the house walk-through and is a separate attraction. Price of admission is 800P.

[SAFETY]
Those whose who need a less rattling path for any reason only need to tell Jack and he will inform the house to be sure to guide them on the correct walk-through. Gentle as it is, it still has all the TLC put into it that one would expect from the Pumpkin King.

Anyone who wants to leave the house or maze early for any reason need only call out "ROTTEN PUMPKINS" and Eric the Yamask will appear to escort them out.

SPOOKY HOUSE SPECS:
Within the house, any great number of things can befall the guests! Once upon a time, the house was a normal mansion. There are three floors plus the basement and attic to explore and the walls have been arranged into a maze with branching paths. The halls are strewn with cobwebs, bones (where did they come from???) questionable splatters and splashes of colorful clownish paint.

- hidden alcohol stashes left behind by Rangiku from years ago that Jack STILL hasn't found
- rotating wall panels to split up groups
- fake drop-away floors that reveal illusions of pits, fire, enormous snapping mouths and the like
- floors that turn into slides
- hall of mirrors
- hidden passages revealed by the turn of a candle stick or pressed key on a piano etc...

CREEPY CAST:
These ghouls are trained scare-actors. The team is made up of both Pokemon and people. They will pop out at your characters from every angle and will be using their attacks to alter their surroundings and make noise. This year, courtesy of Envy, everyone has had their face painted into both twisted and funny visages. Several scare-actors are clowns. Horrible, horrible clowns in honor of Joker and his wonderful circus.

Lust and Al

Lust was finding herself looking forward to spending some time with Alphonse. Despite the problems between him and Envy, Lust liked the young man. And they hadn't actually seen each other since he arrived. She was looking forward to that, too. Seeing him in the flesh, now that there was flesh to see at all. She wondered idly what he'd think of here, here and now.

On her way to meet him, she stopped off to prepare for an afternoon and night of holiday festivities. She hadn't thought ahead to bother with a costume, but it was easy enough to get her hands on a couple of accessories. Cat-like ear headbands - two, since it would look foolish if only one of them had bothered. And anyway, she and Kirikou had discussed looking for costume-costumes at the circus. It wasn't as though either were going anywhere, if Lust liked the attractions she'd be going back.

She showed up with Guttle at her heels, also decked out for the occasion. She'd drawn spiderwebs around his eyes with eyeliner and painted fangs over his mouth, much to his delight. She had no idea what to expect from the Haunted House, but she was looking forward to it. And the circus later. The house could be seen from here, not far off at all, and her eyes strayed to it over the rooftops as she came to a stop.

Hands clasped behind her back, she stood beside the cafe patio fence to watch the clouds around the top of the haunted house and waited for Alphonse.

Al jogged down the street, his Eevee keeping pace with him as they hurried to meet Lust. Al still wasn't entirely sure what his feelings towards her were--while a very large part of him wanted to set their past behind them and treat this as the fresh start Lust really deserved, it was hard to let go of certain things that had happened back home. Certainly Liore still hung heavy in his mind. Still, he was unreservedly looking forward to this outing.

He didn't keep her waiting long, thankfully, and waved as he got close. "Hi there!" He grinned upon seeing Guttle--the little Spheal was quite amusing with his interest in being made up, and apparently Lust had gotten into the spirit of the season today. "Wow, Guttle looks great today! And you do, too," he adds with a shy smile.

And there he was. Lust lifted her hand to wave in return.

"Thank you."

Guttle rolled over on his back, flippers flapping excitedly at the prospect of new friends.

"You're looking well. I was talking to a friend before I came out, and he was telling me about Halloween. Apparently costumes are traditional. Since there wasn't time for all that, I thought these would do." She reached into her bag and pulled out the ear headbands she'd bought on the way, holding the brown one out for Al.

"Here."

Beryl bounds forward to pounce on Guttle's belly playfully, mewing and more than eager to make a new friend as well.

Al nods, and then beams when Lust holds out the cat headband for him to wear. "Oh wow, really? Thanks so much, Lust!" He takes it and quickly puts it on, grinning. "Rowr, hehe! Do you think they'll have costume stuff at the circus, too? Dressing up would be really fun!"

Guttle's thrilled to have a new friend, and eagerly licks Beryl in greeting.

"You're welcome." She's glad he likes them. She puts on her own with a small shrug to herself. "I think the circus will, I'm meeting Kirikou there later and he had the same idea. We're going to go shopping for costumes after dinner." And she was glad she wasn't doing it on her own, she had no idea what one was supposed to dress up as for Halloween.
armoredsoul: (Inna can!)

[personal profile] armoredsoul 2014-10-15 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Beryl chirps and nuzzles Guttle in return before hopping off to run around him--he's a bit hyper at the moment.

"Ah, that's cool! I might go check that out myself after the haunted house." Spooking himself up might make his inevitable embarrassment tonight sting a little bit less.

"I'm heading there when we're done here, we can walk over together." She'd been considering inviting Alphonse for the stroll anyway. "It's a pleasant evening for a walk outside."

And there's always the chance the haunted house will actually have some frightening things in it. She doubts either of them want to walk anywhere alone after, if that turns out to be the case. This way it saved either of them having to ask the other after.
armoredsoul: (Calm smiles)

It certainly does save any awkwardness later, and Al nods with a smile. "Uh-huh! Much better weather than it could be. Not that I'd mind a little snow or something, but with how crazy it has gotten..."

Alphonse glances up and down the street, and spots one of the fliers pointing the way to the haunted house. He glances back to Lust with a wide smile, burying his nerves for her sake. "So, shall we get going?"
