~Hall's of Hallow's Eve~

Hallow's Eve Event Log

With the school halls empty, and the sounds of skirts fleeting. As children sprint across town, to the school of Seara. Before the hall they stand, ready to enter another land. Into the halls they go, to dissappear like winter snow.

In ancient times, the children of Raime would disappear and never return on the days of Hallow's Eve. Some say they ran away, others believe in a much more ghastly fate. To protect their children from such horrifying ends, kids were required to wear costumes to scare these ghouls and miscreations away.

As time went on, the reasons behind such elaborate costuming have faded to the back of people's minds. To celebrate the day of Hallow's Eve, Seara decided to recreate the day of Hallow's Eve that many people feared in the past. Recruiting erements to disguise as gouls and other monstrocities, the doors of Seara's great halls lie open. Beckoning the brave, cowardly, and foolish to enter and test their wits, strength, and courage.

Characters are allowed to pair up with other characters to explore or tackle the problems that come upon them.

Ghouls that appear can be rped by the rpers themselves or by staff(please state on the first paragraph where you start participating whether you want the staff to be a ghoul or not).

Random, unstated events may happen to throw your character's off.

How to participate in this event:
1. Do one paragraph about your character entering the halls.
2. Roll dice(1-100), you must type a sentence of your character doing something though like walking down the hall.
3. If you get any numbers between 1-24, your character has now bumped into a ghoul. Roll the dice(1-30) again to see which riddle they must solve, roll again if you already answered that riddle/puzzle.They must give the correct answer to a riddle or puzzle. You can guess as many times as you like but once your character gives up, your characters will be forced to return to the starting point.
5. You make another roll(1-4) after each riddle is solved.
1) the hallway ended in a dead end forcing your character's to turn back
2) the hallway branched off to two
3) the hallway ends with a door that leads to a room
4) the hallway ends with a door that leads to another hall.
4. Answering 5 riddles/puzzles in a row correctly will lead your characters to the secret entrance. Each riddle must be answered with at least 1 paragraph of rping.
5. The secrets of the secret entrance will be revealed once the characters get there.

Riddles and Puzzles!:
(For those who rp characters that would answer riddles/puzzles easily, here's an answer guide. You don't have to look at it if you don't want to though.)
1. In a tunnel of darkness lies a beast of iron. It can only attack when pulled back. What is it?
2. I am never quite what I appear to be. Straight-forward I seem, but it's only skin deep, for mystery most often lies beneath my simple speech. Sharpen your wits, open your eyes, look beyond my exteriors, read me backwards, forwards, upside down. Think critically and answer the question. What am I?
3. You get many of me, but never enough. After the last one, your life soon will snuff. You may have one of me but one day a year, When the last one is gone, your life disappears. What am I?
4. I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air. Who am I?
5. I'm as small as an ant, as big as a whale. I'll approach like a breeeze, but can come like a gale. By some I get hit, but all have shown fear. I'll dance to the music, though I can't hear. Of names I have many, of names I have one. I'm as slow as a snail, but from me you can't run. What am I?
6. Often held but never touched, always wet but never rusts, often bites but seldom bit, to use me well you must have wit. What am I?
7. I have freedom from hate, but not from lies. I'm usually seen through clouded eyes. I come unexpected, though you wait for me all your life. I can't be brought yet some people try. What am i?
8. When I am filled I can point the way. When I am empty, nothing moves me. I have two skins - One without and one within. What am I?
9. Tool of thief, toy of queen. Always used to be unseen. Sign of joy, sign of sorrow. Giving all likeness borrowed.
10. what is Greater than God

worse than evil

the poor have it

the rich require it

and if you eat it you die
11. black as night or ink, i will comfort you, but be wary for your horses i tire
12. It is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of the end, and the end of every space. What is it?
13. A hole leading in, a hole leading out, we connect to a cavern that is slimey all throughout. What are we?
14. I never was, am always to be. No one ever saw me, nor ever will. And yet I am the confidence of all, To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball. What am I?
15. I usually wear a yellow coat. I usually have a dark head. I make marks wherever I go. What am I?
16. We are little creatures; all of us have different features. One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jet. Another you may see in tin, and the fourth is boxed within . If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. What are we?
17. Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, and no man can survive its endless call. What is it?
18. I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth, but water kills me. What am I?
19. What is one thing that all wise men, regardless of their politics or religion, agree is between heaven and earth?
20. dare if you open
open if you dare
game that scares little kids
exept those whose ages are in the mids
its like spin the bottle
exept it goes over full throttle
in this game your wish is my command
what i do is in your hand
some times it's not fair
this game is called ----- -- ----
21. Lighter than what I am made of, More of me is hidden Than is seen.
22. This old one runs forever, but never moves at all. He has not lungs nor throat, but still a mighty roaring call. What is it?
23. What is so fragile that when you say its name you break it?
24. Hide and seek is your game, I watch you play behind me hiding from thoughs who seek you, knowing that pretty soon you will change day by day and won't need me anymore.What am I?
25. I can be touched
But I hurt those who touch me
I move swiftly through a dry forest
But die in a mountain stream
Where I pass I leave a black shroud.
26. Who makes it, has no need of it. Who buys it, has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
27. It runs and runs but can never flee. It is often watched, yet never sees. When long it brings boredom, When short it brings fear. What is it?
28. The strangest creature you'll ever find has two eyes in front and a hundred behind.
29. You see me not but you know i am there. You can lose me or catch me without much care. Smell good or smell bad I am...
30. Until I am measured, I am not known. Yet how you miss me, When I have flown.

1 lera for your first 5 paragraphs of rp.
2 for 20.
3 for 35.
4 for 50.

*Chris stepped into the hallway as if he had not a care in the world. So deeply in his thoughts about a new recipe he was working on to notice the shadows in the glum stretch of building. He had been away for a time and he was too glad to be back home to let much else break his joyful reverie. The only thought that did occur was "Where exactly was everyone?" He hadn't seen anyone since his return and that puzzled him if only slightly.*

*Faintly, Chris had a distinct sense of unreal horror as he caught sight of a form that seemed to be coming from a wall? His breath caught in his now dry throat and he stepped back, wanting to run in the other direction. His normally happy face fell into a stoic mask as he tried to hide his fear. The adrenaline was a definate rush however the nausea he could have done without. The Being spoke in a whispered sort of fashion and asked Chris this question. Chris was a bit confused however he did love a good riddle.*

What is so fragile that when you say its name you break it?

*He thought for a few minutes even though he already knew the answer without having to refer to anything. After all, the ghoul itself broke it just now, didn't he. . . or was it an it?*

Would the answer be Silence? *He queried*

(Edit - I think I'd like someone to RP the ghoul, It feels like im godmodding if I do it.)

Valerie, dressed in her Red Riding Hood attire, cautiously approached the cavernous hallway. Over and over again she mentally hit herself for thinking she could ever do something of this scary. The idea of ghosts and ghouls jumping out caused her to tremble even more than the cold. Her costume did little to warm her up. She tightly clutched her hood, holding her breath, and took a bold step inside. A shiver ran down her spine, it wasn’t much warmer inside, and her next few steps were more like baby shuffles.

((I do hope this is ok! Also, it's been quite a long time since I've RPed last..))

Dean peered into the school's hallway, dressed up for the season like a hero, with a red cape and a fake sword. The school managed to look quite creepy, and Dean blinked at it, sizing up the event. He liked riddles, or liked to think he did anyway. Riddles were for intelligent people. He liked to think of himself as an intelligent person. Finally, he stepped into the hall, walking along it slowly, and still peering about in case something might jump him.

Dean liked riddles. He didn't like ghost stories.

Eden enters in the hall of Seara, with a disguise enough elaborated, thanks to the seam classes. The disguise consists of an adjusted and black gauze dress with botton unequal, and a corset in the top also black, some black boots until the knee with many buckles and wings made with wire and black tulle. Once already inside the Hall, Eden notices the decoration and she is surprised of the realistic it is, for sure she'll have some good fright. Slowly she begins to travel the hall looking for somebody more, for sure if she is with somebody she won't be so afraid.

While Eden is distracted looking for other disguised people, a presence behind her is shown and it touches her shoulder, giving her an enormous fright. "AAAAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh" she screams and jumps at the same time, and being given the turn to see who had been. It is a Ghoul, Eden begins to tremble of fear, " Wha.... Wha.... What.. do... you... want?" she is able to say without separating the view of the Ghoul.

Dean kept walking down the hall, looking around at the elaborate decorations and feeling uneasy. He jumped. Was that a scream? Tail bristling, he swiveled his head from side to side and, seeing no one, sheepishly calmed down and tried to pretend nothing had happened. He was okay. Yeah.

The ghoul shudders once, twice, and then whips away. It circles her curiously, poking its cracked claws into her back and her hair. The air crackles as it frosts, and every puff of breath from the ghoul smells of sulfur.

It slows its inspection and waves its rot-wasted hand-- the frost curls in on itself delicately until it has a form: a book. The lights in the hallway glow with a gentle sheen of blue.

Softly, it whispers:

"Moutains will crumble..." sighed the ghoul, gingerly nudging the page to turn. The corner pops and the aged leaf reveals another page. He holds out the picture to the young girl and pulls it back to his chest. "Temples will fall... noooo man can survive," he clicked and drawled, emphasizing the "no."

He sighed again, tired after such a long rest, and raspily finished: "its endless call... What is it?"

Perplexed at what he read, he adjusts the book and examines the scripture. The ghoul watches Eden expectantly.

"You may pass..." croaked the ghoul. It bowed, wisps of its presence fluttering behind it like a moth-eaten curtain, and disappeared.

Why did she have to come here in the first place? Veruvi thought as she inched forward in the the deserted hallways of the school dressed as a princess. She had left her hair untied and the only object that decorated her head was a single circlet with a tiny crystal as it's focus. She looked back the way she came and to her surprise, she couldn't see the entrance that she had came through only a minute ago. The elf child was getting frantic now as she clutched at her skirts as if the action would qualm her fear. She was scared. The school was so dark, and everything was so quiet...anything could pop out at any moment...and what if it did? Veruvi pursed her lips in uncertainty and continued slowly down the hall.

[[edit: whoops forgot to state~ but I'd prefer it if the staff rped the ghouls~ biggrin ]]

Kailey had been a bit hesitant to wander around, but curiosity ended up getting the better of him. So now he was walking the halls, alone and wondering if he'd made a mistake.

For whatever reason, he felt cold and rubbed his arms. Maybe he should have gone with a heavier material for his colorful magcian costume as well...

Despite the shivers Kailey felt, he continued to walk. He came to a quick halt when he thought he’d heard something moving behind him, but after looking around… He saw nothing.

This place was seriously starting to creep him out.

Every moment that nothing happened, the more scared Veruvi got. She was hoping that the nothing-has-happened part would be more reassuring but it heightened the chances of whatever scary thing that was out there was bigger and more horrible than she could have imagined. The elf was practically shaking in fright.

The elf reached a fork in the hallways and her eyes widened. Which way? She looked at both directions her eyes wide in wonder and fear. A wrong choice could take her with something scary. Veruvi swiveled around in a flurry of skirts at the direction of a sound. She thought she had heard...footsteps?

Kailey squinted and was able to make out the faint shape of a figure. He began to ran toward it.

"Hey! Are you actually there?" Kailey called out, hoping that he was actually approaching a person rather than the shadows messing around with his eyes...
