~Halloween Event~ Carnival! Fun Fair Fun Times!

[theextras]

On the evening of the twenty-second day of the tenth month, the chilly weather takes on a slightly different shroud: veiling itself in brighter starlight and clearer air and a crisp, pitch black cloak of darkness...lit up by streetlamps and bright, autumnal window displays, and carved vegetables as far as the eye can see.

It's not just Jack what makes a lantern this time of year, but courgettes and bird cages (birds not included) and jars and actual wrought iron lanterns. Candle light permeating the very air of the city, casting a warm glow on anyone who happens to draw close enough.

Here and there Extra parents tug their Extra children along in a hurried quest to find the perfect outfit or costume for this or that party, spooky or sweet or just plain excellent.

What's more is the long winding carnival snaking its way along the many winding streets of Taxon, hundreds of Extras all dressed up in outfits that some may find more disturbing than others: zombies, ghouls, old crones and Killer Klowns and white-masked beings, moaning and wheezing and giggling their way towards Central Square - but who knows where they're headed next.

Fun fair's in town, kids.

"Has that ever worked for anyone," Josef asked. "I don't remember anyone choosing to get on that ship, to just go from my limited experience."

"Well, a couple years ago when folks were walking the streets minding their own business they weren't asking to get their head chopped off either," Glitch snaps, irritated. "But that still happened."

He reigns in his temper, sighs. "Remember when you first got here and I made that broadcast about wanting to look out for people here? And out little chat about me being an advocate? That's all I'm doing. This is what I've seen, this is how I suggest dealing with it, you can take it or leave it."

Josef just stared at the tablet. "You do realize you just made my point, right," he asked, arching a brow. "But hey, whatever. I'm just saying, the whole gloom and doom, everyone panic schtick just seems counter-intuitive but hey, what do I know, right?"

And there the patience runs out.

"Look, I have no control over what anyone does or doesn't do. All I can do is suggest maybe how to not get inconveniently killed, and make sure to keep you off the feed next time."

And off goes the tablet.
