 ⏵ 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!

( with a name like that, it was clear there was something almost foreshadowing about him. yet the signs, gut feelings, and general sense of mistrust she usually had for others wasn't there.
instead she remembered how he had comforted her during a stressful moment and didn't seem to judge her as she recovered from it. so she decided to just take things at ease, as if he were a good friend already. )
Your parents must have had a funny sense of humor. Yeah, fine just got a little sentimental.
no subject
on his forehead, a cross tattoo symbolizes his status as the head of the spider, his coat proudly sporting st. peter's cross on the back, the phantom troupe comprised of himself and other 12 legs.
he knows very well what she means, and he laughs a little, waving a hand.)
Well, it is close. We are not related, though, promise. You've been really going through it these weeks, Heather... How can I help?
no subject
with a soft sigh, she simply rolled her shoulders forward and set down the costume she had been holding before. she didn't want to be sad anymore or feel anger about circumstances beyond her control. that was the one thing she could do, so she offered him a smile and held her arm out. )
Who hasn't suffered in this life? Life is full of it but if you let it get you down, well...I just don't find any benefit in sulking about these things.
( her past self had pleaded with her to have a happy life after all. )
How about we just shop like two normal people? You can help me pick a costume.
no subject
(although, to say "normal", considering the little he knows about her and all she doesn't know about him, sounds a little far-fetched. whatever she wants, for now, she may have since he will get to ask her what she found out in due time.
he wasn't planning anything grandiose for himself in terms of style, the suit is actually very nicely fit for him and he just takes a moment to fix the tie before he comes closer.)
How do we think of this suit?
no subject
to his question and him coming closer, she placed a finger on her chin and tilted her head. she moved around him briefly, taking in every detail she could before she nodded and showed began to show snippets of her true self. )
A little stiff but you look like a professional. Do you have a briefcase to match?
( with a chuckle, she waved her hand. )
Just kidding, you look great.
no subject
(a bow once the compliment reaches his ears, thankful for it and set on what he's wearing for the night. now, as for her, that one might be a little more difficult - what does she aspire to be like? is that something she'll show on the surface?)
Alright, for me, this is it. What about for you, what are your plans?
no subject
( she couldn't help but laugh a bit at that. she hadn't had much experience with that world but her father most certainly had.
for now she decided it was time to venture into the shop and actually look at what they had. so with a tilt of her head, she seemed to suggest they should walk and talk. )
I'm not sure to be honest, I haven't dressed up in years. I figured after everything, it'd be nice to do so for once.
no subject
(appropriate, but he might already have the answer with her current outfit. he follows without hesitation, maybe bumping on a mannequin or two before fixing them as if nothing had happened in the first place!)
no subject
( she's not going to criticize any bumping or weirdness from him, he saw her at her worst after all. instead the mood seemed to lighten up despite her previous emotional low and she seemed more carefree now.
as they continued walking, she eventually stopped in front of a row of super hero costumes and the like. )
I'm not sure of a character, but maybe I could be some kind of super hero.
no subject
(it's been so long since he thought about these things. of course they exist where he is from, but he had to grow out of it pretty fast. deliberately, he chose to be a villain, that exact choice in words.
easier to focus on the more fun aspect of it, though.)
The outfit has to match. It's a question of style!
no subject
( casually speaking, she thought about his question and began to walk down the row of superhero costumes. her eyes focused on a few but frankly, the ones designed for women were a bit too skimpy for her taste.
so she continued on until she found a white poofy dress. )
I guess if I had to pick, maybe something a magical girl would have. Like the power to bring happiness to people or make fly or something.
no subject
(which probably doesn't go great with the white dress, that's more fairy-like... still, eventually he finds something similar to this. who knows!)
LOL NOOOOO not that comparison
( immediately she turned towards him and made her way back, picking up the outfit he found. she held it up before her and looked up and down it. it was chic and hip, modest enough for her and it really suited her. )
Good find, I'll have to go with this then.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IT IS KJSFDHSKJH I GOOGLED YELLOW GIRL SUPER HERO OUTFIT LMAO
Party responsibly, alright?
it's from a rough show haha 'the boys'
( did she still occasionally smoke? sure but she enjoyed things in moderation. after all, who was to stop her from underage drinking in this world anyways? )
I take it you're going to that masquerade thing too?
OH i heard about it
(at least, have fun! he never cared about it personally. he's not stopping her.)
Yeah, there's not much to do other than that.
no subject
( truthfully, if she wasn't so shaken up about the things that happened before arriving and upon her arrival, she would have been more eager to explore and search around some more.
however she was exhausted. going costume shopping and the masquerade was good enough for the time being. )
I guess I should try on the costume? Maybe you can tell me if it looks okay?
no subject
(he'll ask her if she has after he gestures to the changing rooms, the whole song and dance of trying clothes, telling her how she looks, watching her maybe light up, or maybe change again.
he's patient. it's fine.)
no subject
at the very least, what he's shown to her so far made her feel like she could trust him. eventually though, she does walk out and gave him a silly twirl before laughing. )
There, hope I don't look too dorky?
no subject
when she's finally out, he gives her a few claps of approval.)
There we have it. Do you like it?
no subject
( after giving chrollo a solid and confident nod, she held out her hand to him to give him a thumbs up. soon she spun around yet again and headed back into the changing room.
she was going to change, purchase the costume and head back to the apartment she claimed to prepare for the masquerade tonight. )
no subject
(he'll mimic, two thumbs up, even!
that is a very convenient timing, he should swing by a market and get himself some food to eat as a back-up in case the food is laced in the masquerade, if there's even any food to begin with.
he'll say his goodbyes and get going.)
