lost again, little boy?

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

[Here's a young man that might look familiar to some, wandering the halls with a pensive expression on his face. As he makes his way along ever so slowly he casts a wary glance to his left, and then to his right, repeating this process every so often.

Passing by an open door he peers into a room, starts, and glaps a gloved hand over his face (that's turning scarlet with record timing), hurrying away. He's not sure what those people were just doing and he...doesn't think he wants to know.

So it's back to shuffling along quietly. He rubs a hand over a scarlet brand on the back of his neck that just peeks out over his clothing, huffing out a quiet sigh]

What sort of place is this..?


[ooc: Say hello to your own little bit of ancient history. Keir here's from the days of conflict leading to the Keyblade War. Bit of background's in his userinfo and fellow precanoners are always awesome, just sayin'.

P.S. feel free to be that naughty couple accidentally peeped on]

[seasides]

[bah, most of the people here are nice anyway. eventually he'll stop at a rather nondescript door with "Twilight Town" on it.]

Here we go.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

[Which is cue for Keir to lean into that doorway and naturally end up gawking]

[seasides]

[Kai will stroll right inside, looking up at the sky and smiling faintly.]

Cool, huh.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

[It's with added caution that Keir follows, peering around]

And this is a room?

[seasides]

Mmhm. It's got limits, invisible walls, so you can't explore the entire town, or the entire world the town is a part of.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

...Strange.

[seasides]

That's pretty much the definition of this realm.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

So it would appear.

[seasides]

And to think, you're in time for Halloween... it'll probably be just as big this year as the last couple.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

Halloween..?

[seasides]

From one of the worlds that doesn't have it? That's fine.

[he nods, wondering how to explain.]

It'd be easier to learn about it from a book. How it started, I mean. At least on some worlds. Basically, at the end of October, there's a whole lot of scary stuff that happens. So if you see monsters that aren't Heartless or Heartless-like, chances are they won't be anything to worry about unless they're actually attacking people.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

...Monsters are part of this Halloween?

[MONSTER MATING SEASON!?]

[seasides]

Yep! Halloween's all about the scare. Part of it has people dressing up, and in a lot of worlds, kids go door to door for candy if they're in costumes.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

...

I must say, this sounds no less strange than partial worlds inside rooms.

[seasides]

[pffft he laughs, shaking his head.]

To be fair, there is actually a world built around Halloween. It's another partial world room, even.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

There is?

[Baffled]

[seasides]

Yep! Want to see it? It'll give you a little bit of an idea of what to expect closer to Halloween.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

If you do not mind.

[He wouldn't want to trouble you after all, Sir]

[seasides]

'Course not! C'mon, it's not a long walk.

[...said as someone who's lived in the DR for over two years now. but unless you're not fit, it shouldn't be long, so.]

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

[Keir'll keep up well enough, although he continues to remain behind Kai rather than walk beside him. Call it a habit he doesn't remember the origins of]

[seasides]

[Kai's had to deal with that action for so many different reasons he doesn't say a word on it. he doesn't know Keir well enough to question it. the door to Halloween Town is a lot less... plain than the Twilight Town one, blatantly creepy even. as Kai opens the door and steps inside, his clothing changes to a tattered and bloodstained white tunic and pants, a pair of mangled white feathered wings tied together with barbed wire appearing on his back. it's just his HT costume, of course. Keir doesn't necessarily need one, don't worry. this one was previously thought of. :P]

Here we go.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

[Of course, Keir hesitates in the doorway upon seeing the guy's clothing change just like that]

Mis- [woops] Kai, Sir?

[...This may take some doing]

[seasides]

Hm?

[he glances back; his face looks much paler, dark circles under his eyes and everything. he's not sure what the problem is for a moment, but then he smiles.]

What, the costume thing? That's normal for Halloween Town. Some peoples' outfits change when they enter.

[guiltybreak.livejournal.com]

Is that so...

[Keir isn't entirely sure what he wants to think of that, but he'll cautiously venture into the room nevertheless-

At least until he realizes those clinks and clanks are coming from him. Looking down at himself in puzzlement, he finds that his clothes have become a suit of black armor, all sharp edges and unpleasantly taut straps, the tattered remains of a cape hanging behind him like a forlorn spider's web]

Strange sorcery indeed.

[seasides]

[he looks the costume over thoughtfully, then nods.]

It is. Magic is very strange, very different here.
