Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
None of you can even compare to my costume!
I've allready had two people falling off of their chairs while laughing...
DARK AM WIN! *throws arms in air*
If i've got the damn patch installed by then ¬.¬
Grav could dig out that leather outfit of hers, maybe add a skirt for her own comfort?
And what's this about kissing? Is that some american tradition, like the mistletoe thing at christmas?

No, it's a LARP tradition that states whenecer you mix more than 10 people and alcohol in the same place, someone will end up kissing someone else inappropriate.
Our LARP group has enshrined this in the doughnut sweepstakes, where everyone puts a doughnut in and bets on who they think will suffer a relationship crisis/nervous breakdown, and who will end up kissing who.
Only relationship crisies are no fun, we have too many at GG, so we'll have to bet on the kissing.
gloom shall fall on hallows eve.
his powers all he shall receive.
for he is power pitch black made.
his debt from elder will be paid.
I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc
"his debt from elder will be paid."
... Why, this Elder dude a complete noob? must be a lot of debt to make you write poetry
its all in glooms backstory. heres a short form of it.
gloom did his job wrong, destroyed 2 universes
elder caught him put him in jail
he in jail killed 3 times, put through unimaginable pain ect.
last sentence community service as hero on earth
he here now and all his power comes back on halloween
he owes the elders something, his debt.
he also has an elder guardian (cant remember his name) but he is white/light blue (ice armour) and he has to make sure gloom doesnt do anything he shouldnt. like give his debt to the elders.
the elders and beings that controll the multiverses, gloom used to be their mercenary till he overkilled and destroyed two universes and just missed our one, which is why he is now protecting our planet. the elders have enough power to obliterate gloom, but on halloween his sentence is finished, and all of his powers and then some are given back, in which he will pay the elders a lil visit, but only once his powers are back completely.

Just a few questions...
What can I expect (without giving too much away) of the halloween party?
Do we meet at GG in costume?
Are there any Halloween traditions? (Don't have halloween in The Netherlands, but Grav's been living in the States a few years now, might have picked up something)

So what's the plan for the party tonight guys? Kick off at 8, 9? What? Anything schemed?

OOC we're at GG as usual, IC...
Votes peeps, is it an actual party somewhere (and if so who's organising) or just everyone turning up in costume.
Traditions wise...you want the American Commercialised version, or the real deal?
American - loads of hyperactive kids in costumes running around and banging on doors requesting "trick or treat", with the expectation they'll either be candy to placate them (treat) or they'll play a trick on the household (normally pushing over bins or throwing toilet rolls over it)
Sometimes the adults will play a trick instead, and wear a scary costume or give the kids something that isn't candy (normally fruit)
It includes a lot of assorted games depending on where you are (like apple bobbing) and traditional decorations include Jack-O-lanterns (the pumpkins carved with faces with a candle inside), spiderwebs, witches cauldrons... think croatoa really, you can tell they reused a lot of the halloween artwork from last year.
The real deal - Samhain
The day of the dead when the year too dies.
Samhain is the last day of autumn, and is the day when the boundaries between the mortal world and other worlds are at their weakest. The unquiet dead can return to walk, seeking redress for the wrongs done to them in life, and the Fae run riot.
Householders leave out offerings to try and appease the spirits in the hope they'll leave the household alone, and ward their homes as best they might (treats and jack-o-lanterns) and if you're a beliver, you celebrate the renewing of the year, even if it is technically a death-festival, since the dead are supposed to be returning.
On that note, Joyous Samhain to everyone, and where did I leave the salt...
Yeah, Enjoy your samhain everyone.
As for wether we'll be doing the american or the real one at GG? We're in america. and the Christians/other greatly outnumber the pagans. Except in Salamanca. I think thats where dark's spending today :P
As for when, Whenever. just like last time. people filtered in wearing their costumes. I think i'll save mine as a suprise, though.
Kind of what Dark said. We do both. I have a silly Wizzard costume for Crow, who will be masquerading as Dafydd. As an authentic Welsh bloke, he far prefers the original version.
Jason is, of course, a traditionalist and is quite likely to resort to machine gun nests and auto-turrets outside his apartment.
As an authentic NORMAL PERSON, I am condifent that my extreme MUNDANITY will scare of anything nasty that might happen to pay us a visit.

Actually, I meant in RL, not in game. It's why I'm not going to bother laying salt barriers at the doors and windows.

Uh-huh, remind me to avoid your house for a couple of months until the Fae go away...
Seriously, I won't be salting the doors, although I probably will leave a faegift out on the balcony tonight.
And I won't be leaving the house once the sun sets... there's a churchyard across the road.
As for what might happen tonigh... I'm going to go with the american concept to start with, although remember that Mina _is_ an active medium, and Ellie believes in Samhain....

No! Bad Roleplayer! Very Bad Roleplayer! Party = Cheerful! Party =/= people-who-have-died-returning-angst! You do that enough with your usual medium-ness-wibblage. Have *fun* for once!

Great lines of sight from the balcony. I'm getting the sniper rifle out. Time to bag me some zombies.
will be at GG tonight, but not in anything other an my own costume (mainly cos my Union Alts are way to low to have actual extra costume slots or the money to use them)
Heck, most of us are creating level 1 "Halloween Copy" alts for just that reason.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Most of us will be creating new level 1 alts, simply because the iCON costs are too expensive for the costume revamps even if you do have a free slot.

Ask Stef about supernatural happenings and me. Any Fae in our place would go totally nuts within an hour.

I'm with Doc on this one... and I have two characters capable of banishing unwanted spirits if the need arises.
