Rating: PG for spoopy
Log:
Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see:
THIS, OUR TOWN OF HALLOWEEN!
The house is impressive to say the least.
It towers over the street with all its crooked windows lit in ghoulish green. The siding has all been painted black. Pumpkins overflow from every available ledge and smile grimly out at passers by. What seems to be a localized thunderstorm boils overhead but has not yet released its downpour. On the front lawn, Jack stands behind a rickety ticket booth dressed head to toe as a carnival barker in bold red and white, 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 two and as large as five and are spaced out fifteen minutes apart so that one can always hear the others' terror.
Within the house, any great number of things can befall the guests! Once upon a time, the house was a normal mansion. Several long months of hard work have turned it into a funhouse of fear. Floorboards give way to hidden tunnel slides. Jets of air hiss and startle those who let their minds wander. Rugs drop away into what seem to be deep pits with glowing green fire at the bottom. Who knows what holds the guests aloft and safe? Cobwebs stretch across narrow passages, making the house look like it hasn't been accessed in years. Some rooms require a little detective work to pass through. A turn of a candlestick or a few notes on a piano will open the way. Wall panels rotate and split up whole parties. Halls of mirrors cause visitors to lose their way and sometimes their reflection seem a bit...off. The deeper into the house one goes, the grimmer the decorations become. Bones strew the walkways and the red splatters of struggle paint the walls.
If navigating the three story maze isn't nerve-wracking enough, there are the pokemon to consider. No less than six Gastly, all trained by the King of Halloween himself, lurk the corridors, phasing in and out of sight. They have all been outfitted with Psychic and poke and prod into the minds of guests. These spooky little spherical pokemon then turn the visitors' fears upon them in twisted, though rather convincing illusions. A Yamask can be heard blubbering and wailing in despair within the walls. A Stunky arches her back and hisses at those who come near. A Driftloon hovers near the ceiling, blending well with the lanterns and baubles that are hung there. The balloon pokemon may attempt to lift up those who aren't paying attention. There are also pokemon from close friends and the Breeding Center outfitted in monstrous costume ready to pop out at, snarl, snap at, and snag the feet, hands, and hair of those rushing past. There is also the occasional human haunt. Jack himself may be tempted to sneak away from his ticket booth long enough to deliver a well-placed shriek.They appear from cleverly hidden doors and from around corners.
Those whose who are very young or need not see blood or grim illusions will be guided on a less traumatizing path. Gentle as it is, it still has all the TLC put into it that one would expect from the Pumpkin King.
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! The maze has changed!
FEEL FREE TO TAG INTO THIS ALL MONTH AND BACKTAG UNTIL YOUR HEART'S CONTENT.
This post is like the Poke'Prom or a meme! Grab some CR, start a thread, and have a blast!
Happy Halloween, love Wolfy

Happy Halloween, love Wolfy
team forever dave
...well, all of this, for Rose's later enjoyment.
Hopefully it got that. Or, er, hopefully...not? Which would be better here?
Also ow. Ow ow ow. Her arm is trapped under a John. She hadn't prepared for the falling part at all. ]
I think I bruised my...
[ .........most of herself? :|a ]
team he will kill you all
Okay, everyone off the goalie. I got the ball to the in-zone and you got me. Now get off!
[He shifts his legs - barely due to the weight - and gets the rest of his weight centered so he can make another push up, but not yet.]
team we'll just respawn in the pokecenter
[Apparently this is exactly the perfect time to be making this sort of joke. If he had any idea that Aradia was recording this, though, he might have refrained. Because the fact that it's so dark in here probably makes the whole thing even worse.
Just go back and read the dialogue without the action brackets if you don't believe me][At least his making an effort to get off of Dave though. A crushing weight has been lifted, Strider. You're free. Though John's not quite on his feet yet.]
team so there dave
John, you should have paid more attention to what your fiance was asking your troll friend to do before entry.
For the moment, Aradia laughs. Which. Probably is not all that helpful for Dave, although she also starts to try to get up. Since she's partly under John, this is not really working out yet but at least they're not just lying there uselessly? ]
What sport is that referencing?
[ You lost the alien at goalie. ]
team this sounds so dubious
[The moment he has a chance to escape, Dave takes it. He'll slide out like an eel if he must. He doesn't give a fuck. What is pride when he needs to actually breathe.]
John, you're too damn big to drape over my back like that. [Freedom is so close.] Never do it again.
team yeah this definitely sounds like a really weird porno
[BUT HUZZAH. HE IS FINALLY ON HIS FEET.]
I'll try not to, Human Twig. Also I am giving you the benefit of the doubt here and assuming that was not a fat joke. But okay, since we are finally all untangled... [At least, he assumes they are.] now what?
team well rose should enjoy her copy of this tape
They're still in a dark room with ghosts willing to trip them, apparently, though, so... ]
I don't think you're supposed to call girls fat, Dave! The girls at my work said so.
[ ...............John is a girl for the purposes of this conversation, apparently. ]
Find a lightswitch or a less dangerous room?
