~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.

“I’m already finding this much more entertaining,” he assured him, smiling at the vision before him. A smile that nearly faltered when Bagoas enjoyed his treat, all sweet mouth and candy and, yeah. Josef was ancient. He wasn’t dead. Especially not where Bagoas was concerned.

“You are definitely tasty,” he murmured softly before clearing his voice, realizing what he had said. “I mean… That wasn’t nearly as wrong as it sounded.” At least he hadn’t meant in the vampiric way he had tasted him before.

Don't believe for one second Bagoas didn't catch that pause of yours, Josef. Not for one fraction of a second.

He allowed himself a small smile behind another sampling of carnival delight, and glanced up at Josef as he went on.

"Oh," he said, fluttering dark lashes at one of his dearest, most precious, adorable friends. "An honest compliment never warrants explanation, my dear. It simply is, much like its subject."

[loveawkward]

Oh he knows better. He's pretty sure there's nothing that Bagoas' doesn't catch, whether he comments on it or not.

Still that pale gaze watched the other man, taking in the way he enjoyed the treat, the look returned as well.

Oh now that was just cheating and they both knew it. Josef truly was such a goner around Bagoas.

"It does when I never want you to think my affection for you involves the fact that I do enjoy those other, special tastes. I want you to always know it starts with you, not my nature."

"I know," he said softly, some of the tease replaced by earnestness. "You've made that perfectly clear many times over. Don't fret. Please?"

[loveawkward]

"I will do my best," he murmured, leaning in to him and lightly brushing a kiss to Bagoas' cheek. "I can't help that those things I've rarely done and cherish most over the last few hundreds years are important to me," he said, knowing he sounded a bit old fashioned in his phrasing.
