 ⏵ arrival ⏴ Welcome to Etraya! Everything is fine now. 😊 Arrival goes expected - or it does for the most part. Aurora greets newcomers in the hospital as they awaken, offers a brief explanation and gives them their earpiece so they can communicate with one another. Around the hospital and outside of it, Companion Bots are hard at work decorating the city for Halloween—complete with festive touches like pumpkins, cobwebs, and glowing ghost decorations. The atmosphere is fun, light-hearted, and maybe just a little spooky. 🎃👻 Some carry buckets of candy, and offer those they come across a trick or treat. Except both options are, in fact, treats. 🍬 Tricks are treats specifically wrapped in a green wrapper that very clearly declares that they are tricks. Treats are wrapped in orange, and labeled with treat! Companion bots will recommend that those who do want to take a trick take them when they're beside their friends. There won't be any permanent effects from these, nor will they be terrible tricks - just fun ones! All effects last roughly 24 hours.
 ⏵ getting spooky! ⏴ Etraya is embracing the season - and maybe even going a little overboard. Around the hospital, a few small pop-up shops are manned by festively dressed companion bots. They offer samples to everyone - although sampling isn't really necessary. After all, everything here is free!
 ⏵ masquerade ⏴ In the spirit of mystery, Etraya will be hosting a Masquerade Ball outside the hospital through the nights of October 26th and 27th. Dance anonymously with other attendees and make new friends under the cover of your disguise. Everyone receives a single rose they can exchange with someone else throughout the evening. At the stroke of midnight, the roses will reveal the true identities of your masked dance partners. 🌹  ⏵ all hallow's eve ⏴ On October 31st, multiple companion bots set up shop along one of the walkways through the larger island towards the center. With chairs and small booths set up, they offer candies out to trick-or-treaters who wander around through the first part of the night. Some of them will request trick-or-treaters to do a trick for them, to earn a bigger treat! They may ask characters to dance, sing, or show a talent unique to them. Can your character bend themselves into a pretzel? They want to see it, and will offer them a nice bracelet in exchange! Can they whistle super loud? Maybe they'll get a nice piece of kevlar armor after showing off. This can be anything within reason - bike parts, small weaponry, armor pieces, toys, canvases for painting. Please request these items HERE. Not everything is as light-hearted as it seems, however. Aurora issues a warning to the citizens of Etraya: Do not stay outside after midnight. Strange happenings have been reported, and those who disobey may start seeing visions of past loved ones. The visions are compelling—guiding people away from the safety of the buildings and into the mysterious mist surrounding the outskirts. But be careful, these spirits may not be as friendly as they seem. If you come into contact with these ghosts, you’ll feel a chilling cold, leading to hypothermia-like symptoms. The longer you’re exposed, the worse it gets. Treatment? You’ll need to be warmed up quickly.  ⏵ skellys! ⏴ The Companion Bots wanted to join in on the fun, so they painted themselves with glow-in-the-dark paint to look like skeletons. But in the dead of night, for those already suffering from the chilling touch of the ghosts, seeing glowing skeletons approach from the darkness might not be the most comforting sight. 🤖💀 Stay safe, warm up, and enjoy the festivities!

and there being nothing he can do about it
all that's there are clothes spread across the floor, knocked over mannequins and clothes hanging off the hangers as though they were tugged off. )
it's true
[ it's not exactly very loud, but clearly concerned. what on earth could she possibly be doing to leave behind a mess such as this? there are limits to how bad of a situations he can get herself into in this place, he's sure, but 6 can't help but remember the circumstances under which he first encountered her here, and it does little to ease his worries.
he's following the trail of scattered clothes. surely, at the end...? ]
37 what shenanigans are you getting up to!!
That's on him. Out of the three of them, he's the only one who's been here long enough to know how dangerous it get can around here, even with the barrier.
Accelerator follows after 6, a wary hand still on his choker.]
i can't stand her
he would hope so, but it isn't enough to ease the tension he feels as he approaches, turning the door handle... ]
well...
she's pouting inside of the changing room, not really caring for her hair since that's not her problem. oh, no, why are they looking like that? )
Did you two see it as well!?
Re: well...
He peers around 6 when he opens the changing room door, confused.]
See what?
no subject
( and she'll point an accusing finger at something on the floor a little ways behind both of them. what their eyes will fall upon is none other then...
...
...
an abomination... )
It is an affront to my very being! The curve, the circle, oh, and don't let me get started on those rectangles! The shapes inside of the letters are also contorted!! I can't stand it!
no subject
well, that certainly clears that up, doesn't it? 6's shoulders slump down again, as if all of the tension released from his body has caused it to deflate in its absence. ]
37...
[ at least she's been distracted from accelerator's prior offense. ]
1/2
[Accelerator looks from 37 back over to 6 in time to see him slump. Ah, he isn't the only one to feel this way, then. It's nice to have a little companionship sometimes.]
2/2 thank you I have never gotten to use this icon
Don't - [Chop!] - scream - [Chop!] - over - [Chop!] - a - [Chop!] - goddamn - [Chop!] - shirt. [Aaand he stops.] You're gonna freak people out.
[Them. She's going to - did - freak them out.]
stop thats so cute wtf
( is this punishment for being honest, what did she do wrong! it's not as bad, but it's still bad enough to be scolded like this.
37 melts in place, laying on the floor after the final hit like a beached dolphin. )
I won't scream, I won't!!
no subject
as she rolls around on the floor, 6 finally spares the offending shirt a glance. ]
...
[ its shapes are rather inelegant. ]
no subject
Good. [Then pauses, and decides to clarify:] It's fine if you're in actual danger, since that happens a lot around here, but for insignificant shit like a piece of clothing....
[Sigh.]
You're either gonna piss people off, or make them think you're faking it so when something actually dangerous happens no one will show up to help.
[He might be exaggerating, but everyone in Etraya have had to deal with a lot of different threats. It's better to be overdramatic if it means she'll end up being a bit safer.]
no subject
It reminds me of the story 6 once told me of a young boy who would call for danger as a prank.
( she's already pushing herself up off the ground, fixing her attire properly as she tries to recall the story name.
it doesn't come, so she calls for 6 with a wave of her hand. )
Will you tell us the name once more— ah, he can also recite it if you haven't heard it before.
( now she's looking at accelerator. )
no subject
he looks quietly relieved when she begins to pick herself up, at least. ]
"The boy who cried wolf"
[ the story's name is simple enough to recount for her, although... ]
It is a common story. I'm sure you have heard it, or a similar rendition.
[ it hardly seems a concept that would be difficult to come across no matter the world. ]
no subject
He glances over at 6, nodding.]
Yeah, I read it in school when I was a little kid. That's the gist of what I'm getting at.
[Then he steps over to the shirt. These two might have a rule about picking up discarded objects, but he doesn't, so he scoops up the shirt. Honestly... he should also tell her off for leaving a huge mess, like he's done in the past with Qliphah, but he doubts that'd go over well, so he'll have to leave all this for the store's companion bot to clean.
Sheesh. Not only is her behaviour reminding him of Qliphah, but Last Order, too. This is the kind of immature thing she'd do. 6 clearly has an ungodly amount of patience.]
It's just a shirt. It's not gonna bite you.
[Despite that, he's shoving it into a rack so it's out of sight. There, problem solved???]
no subject
nor would she pick something off the floor which pulls a gasp from her, eyes widening as she watches him put the shirt onto a rack. )
He broke the rule...
( what this would call for is divine intervention, one that 37 has no trouble giving to someone as she takes a step forward. she could attack him right now, smack his hand and tell him not to pick up what he did, and that if this was on the island he would be thrown into the gorgon current!
but she stops herself, standing in place with a shudder and she speaks aloud trying to keep her composure. )
Do not pick up what has fallen!!
( she reminds accelerator in case he's forgotten, yes, someone from this place would not understand that these are rules to be followed. she has to help him in some way.
with that done, she walks over to a rack of clothes to take a look at them to see if there's anything of interest. )
no subject
rather, as the shirt is picked up on the floor, followed by 37's outburst, 6 can only find himself thinking it is fortuitous that they are not outside. he thought he may have spied a creature that looked uncannily like an abraxas overhead on their walk here. ]
37.
[ she's making her way over to the racks, but he calls for her attention back. ]
Accelerator is not a believer of our school. Neither do we possess authority here, as we did on the island. He may defy it as freely as he pleases.
no subject
At least 6 is a lot more reasonable. And helpful, in this instance. He nods along with that argument, it's a sound one that he doubts 37 can counter.]
Why's it even a rule, anyways? What's the point of it?
[He'll ask that while picking through the clothing rack, trying to find something less offensive.]
no subject
They are a part of the scripture that has been passed down to us by our ancestors. By studying and practicing our ways, the reasons become clear.
[ but they are not necessarily for outsiders to know, as simple as they may be. pythagoreanism has long remained a closed practice, and 6 has no intentions of breaking the teachings that they have received himself.
he will take on new ones, however, turning to observe the rack that accelerator is rifling through. ]
no subject
( there is also the corrector, but 37 can't find the words to explain that to him. rather, she continues facing the new clothes hanging up because it's better to hide any sullen expression that might show up just by thinking about it. )
Even though this is not home, it helped keep peace within our circle.
( 37 clears her throat until one of the outfits she's grabbing causes her to shudder, and she puts it back where she had gotten it from to try and ignore it.
what a scary outfit. )
I want us to keep peace with you.
no subject
[It was asking too much to get a straightforward answer, wasn't it. Accelerator sighs as he continues shoving hangers off to one side, proclaiming loudly.]
That's the most noncommittal non-answer I've ever heard.
[But he isn't going to push the subject. 37 is right, keeping the peace is more important, so even if he complains he isn't going to pick any fights. Instead, he pulls out an oversized cable knit sweater, promptly shoving it into 37's hands to see if that's a kind of style she'll accept. Then he turns and squints at 6, looking him up and down (to get a rough estimate of his measurements, not an easy task with the robes and all) before moving to another clothing rack and rifling through it.]
no subject
( she pouts as the outfit is forcibly pushed into her hands, actually surprised that he has given her anything. with a tilt of her head, she holds it up to look at the patterns that stand out. rather than giving her thoughts, she proceeds to count to make sure that it is perfect in every way. especially the lines on the side, this will take awhile, but out the corner of her eye she notes accelerator looking 6 up and down. )
69 17/32x21 29/64x14 11/64 inches.
( those words come out from behind the sweater that she's finally lowering down completely to watch him. )
Do not forgo the isosceles triangle either!
no subject
It is not for outsiders to know.
[ unless you're planning on joining the cult of numbers sometime soon.
but 6 doesn't think that to be the case. he'll watch 37's face scrunch up as she takes in the measurements and shapes of her new outfit, before glancing back to the rack. it's as accelerator is trying to flip through it that 6 reaches out a hand, intending for him to pause and look at a lightly worn coat that 6 has stopped him on. ]
...
no subject
Accelerator pauses when 37 recites those numbers. The latter two he isn't totally sure about, but the first one makes sense and he nods at her.]
Thanks.
[About to go back to searching, he notes that 6 is actually showing some interest in something, albeit subtly. Without missing a beat Accelerator will pull the coat off the rack. He'll follow it up after a few moments with a white button-up shirt to go with it, then proceed to look around for some additional items to match - slacks for 6, maybe a skirt or dress for 37.]
Are isosceles triangles a requirement?
[He's only partly joking, there may actually be a rule they follow involving clothing design or something.]
