Welcome to Gaia! ::

(was kinda busy all up till halloween ^_^; thats what I get for working in a costume store. Hey better late than never....RIGHT!?)
Crix came walking in, tapping his chin in thought and looking all over the room. His right eye was open and as black as ever, scanning the room with its white dot of a pupil.
"A lot of work to be done here Nexus. Its Halloween and we kinda...well we waited a while to do this didn't we?"
"Shut up. I know what I'm doing. Get to the middle of the room." Nexus sounded smug. Crix wandered to the middle of the room as his eye moved faster.
"Yes, I can already see what needs to be done. This is going to hurt, both of us, a LOT but its worth it for the time it will last. Brace yourself."
"For wha-" Crix barely had utttered his firghtened sentence before he started screaming. Every fiber of his being seemed to be on fire, his black skin bubling and rippling across its surface.
And it began to spread across the floor, to the ceilings and the wall of the ballroom. Over every table and windowsill, all the structures. And dark shapes formed themselves from this abyss, and slowly gained color and substance. They became real.
The walls became a solid mass of perfect black and orange stripes, the ceiling appearing like the night sky. All the furniture took on a darker look, seemingly twisted by Nexus' mind itself. Chairs were black and warped, tables looked strangely angled and shaped, windows were crooked and bent.
Crix stopped screaming as Nexus laughed from his mouth.
"Now to finish my art! GOD I LOVE THIS HOLIDAY!" With that he snapped his fingers and the room was littered in pumpkins, carved with all different kinds of faces and features. Some depicted members of the guild, others things that had happened since Crix had joined them. Some just random, eerie faces of things that probably didn't need to be talked about. The room was literally being lit by the hundreds of pumpkins Nexus had summoned. The effect was...eerie.
Crix panted and stood, admiring it with awe.
"You...made this?"
"Only temporary I'm afraid. Until the holidays over, then it will fade away...so enjoy it." Nexus sounded tired now.
Crix walked near the fireplace and put his hand on a tall black box there.
"And I'm going to assume this is what we spoke about? For everyone's Halloween surprise?"
Nexus only chuckled and Crix smirked, waiting for the others to come.

(...I know...lateness! FORGIVE ME! Schoolwork is killing me -_- Also having Netflix on my 360 means I have become a couch potato as of late)
Crix smirked.
"Nexus came up with it. b*****d surprised me...I think its the only holiday he really tolerates. I was going to bring music but...not sure 'my' kind of music would have been appropriate." He pointed over to a corner where a large stereo system sat, twisted like the rest of the room and appearing to have a fanged maw.
"I guess Ill go grab food and set it out."

Em walked into the ballroom after resting and taking a shower. She was still pissed that someone dared to come into her room and steal her pants. She vowed that when she found the culprit she'd tear them apart. She stopped a moment and looked around the room, VERY Halloween. Her favorite part had to be that the room was lit by the pumpkins, it gave it a nice warm eerie glow.
"I like... reminds me of someone's room..." she gave a small smile and looked around at the various carvings.

"Sigh. It's such a bore with so few people..." Em commented as she made her way over to the stereo and popped in a CD. The Marilyn Manson version of 'This is Halloween' came blaring through the speakers.
"I guess someone should start planning the Christmas party now.."

"I thought about whats scary, and nothings more scary than the Tyrant DG so dad helped me make it!" Gene was sitting on Adam's shoulder now, attempting to pose like DG.
Adam clicked laughing.
"We wonder what DG would think of this..." Adam looked past Desi and walked past her to the black box Nexus had also summoned, prodding it with his tail as Gene crawled to the top to stand there, looking as menacing as he could.
"What manner of thing is this Crix? The books on Halloween we read didn't reference this."

"Don't get your filthy Christmas in my Halloween!" Nexus growled.
"Don't worry, everything he did will be undone soon enough anyway. Easy to clean up when everything's made of his dark-matter...crap. Whatever it is." Crix finished the last piece of dark chocolate and put the bowl down, cracking his knuckles with an evil look on his face as he approached the box and stood next to it, smiling.
"As you can tell me and Nexus love this holiday, so we went out of our way to do something special. Tell me, what do you guys think of when you think of Halloween? Of October?"
He flicked his wrist a bit and the lights in the pumpkins came low, their faces seeming less friendly now, shadows dancing across the room. His visible eye was orange with its black pupil a narrow slit, like a predator of some sort. He was excited about something.

(ROFL, DG you sure can make an entrance)
"Actually for me October is awesome for the Fall colors and leaves," she started as DG slammed into the room, Scooting away from Crix just in case she smiled over at DG. "You're back," she says smiling happily.
