The Witch of Auttumn!

[fallwitchquesti]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!!!!

EEEEEYAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

[fallwitchquesti]

Attention please, everyone!

[Illusions of Hauntilda appear all over Exclamania, hovering in the air for all to see as she claps excitedly] It is a pleasure to announce that this year's Special Halloween Event, the Haunted Castle of Comma Bay, is fully operational and open to all players! [Her cloak lifts from her shoulders, sending out orange and purple fireworks as it reveals her costume] Special quests, Event rewards, a spooky new Dungeon, and more all await you! Just come down to the Comma Bay castle ruins and you'll find the new Ghoulville location!

[plus-minus-contingency]

(Genny teleports to the original Hauntilda.)

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! So is Halloween like ready yet?

[fallwitchquesti]

Oh, hello Genny! Halloween itself isn't until the 31st, but you can go to the castle and start scaring people! And feel free to experience the other activities when you're off-duty, too!

"Ooh Fun" "I Wonder What Event They're Doing In My Home Game"

"You Know It's" "10-27-????" "A Bit Late To Be Starting" "Stocked Up!" "Would've Started Within A Week Of October"

[fallwitchquesti]

Well listen, it takes a lot of time and planning to set up as elegant and intricate an event as what I make, and the lady upstairs hasn't been doing too good, so cut me some slack.

[evil-advertsary]

"Wait Are You The Only Person Working On It"

[fallwitchquesti]

Indeed I am, it's what I was made for. And my standards for a good event have gotten a lot higher since I started out, but I'm stuck with pretty basic level design abilities, so I have to do it by hand.

[fallwitchquesti]

How are preparations going?

They're going great! The haunted castle is almost ready, and everything down in the town is all set up!

[fallwitchquesti]

DING DONG BING BONG TEN DAYS

I know! Eeee, isn't it so exciting?!

[fallwitchquesti]

*pat pat pat*

[She pats you back, smiling]

[fallwitchquesti]

Is Friday the thirteenth, you should do something with thay

I already am!

[She lifts her hat for a moment to reveal a filthy goalie mask, splattered and dripping with fake blood.]

[fallwitchquesti]

Gimme yer shins

What? No. Why?

[fallwitchquesti]

You're Art right? How are you doing? I've think you've reblogged to the wrong blog a couple times, so I'm sorry if I was wrong ABT your identity

Ah, ehm, yes I am. (Dangit, I was hoping people wouldn't figure it out)

I'm doing a lot better since that incident, I've mostly just been too busy with school and and setting up a TTRPG campaign to remember about this stuff. I appreciate the concern though!

[fallwitchquesti]

Wheek wheek wheek wheek Guinea pig here wheek wheek wheek wheek

Aww, what a cute little fellow! I think you'd be even cuter if I... [Hauntilda fishes out a tiny witch hat with ribbons, and ties it onto the Guinea pig's head] Adorable!

[fallwitchquesti]

⮚ okay, what is up wið ðe plants here? ðey used to be green just a few weeks ago, and now ðey're orange???

[@shady-item-shop. anoðer day, anoðer interaction.]

...Another one who's never experienced fall? They're turning colours like this because the seasons are changing. It's spooky month!

[shady-item-shop]

⮚ seasons?

⮚ i'm... unfamiliar wið ðose.

[fallwitchquesti]

[She sighs.] Okay, so, the weather and temperature changes throughout the year, and there are four rough states that it goes through. Right now it's transitioning to Autumn, which I'm in charge of, when things start getting colder and most plants go into hibernation.

[shady-item-shop]

⮚ i see. so it's going to keep getting colder, until?

⮚ also... what's "spooky monþ"?

[fallwitchquesti]

Until sometime in mid-winter or so, and then once spring comes it'll get warmer.

And spooky month is what I like to call October, when we start decorating for Halloween and celebrate.

[shady-item-shop]

⮚ ah! well, i can't wait for halloween ðen!

⮚ (whatever ðat is...)

[fallwitchquesti]

Neither can I!

[shady-item-shop]

⮚ i can already see ðe-

⮚ ...what do people do on halloween?

[fallwitchquesti]

Trick or treating, watching scary movies, go to haunted houses such as the haunted castle I'm working on over by the coast in that direction only a few miles away, hold costume parties with festive treats, things like that

[shady-item-shop]

⮚ sounds fun!

I uh, get scared easily...

⮚ oh come on...

⮚ wait, hauted castle? can i see it?

[fallwitchquesti]

Of course! Just step into my cloak and I can whisk us off that way!

[She holds open one side of her cloak, revealing part of her elaborate outfit and what seems like a small, cozy home littered with various objects. There's a broomstick leaning against the... wall? Right next to the opening, which she pulls out]

[shady-item-shop]

Like a portal?

⮚ alright, let's see!

[He steps þrough. I'm also here, but ðat's not important]

[fallwitchquesti]

[Ehhh, I described it a bit more like a TARDIS previously. It's bigger on the inside. Anyway, as Shady heads inside, Hauntilda gets on the broom and flies off to the castle. Shady can see out the opening of the cloak, and there seems to be a construction crew of some sort when they arrive, comprised of John's zombies, making sure that it looks properly dilapidated while still being structurally sound. The castle overlooks a Tim Burton-esque coastal town.]

[shady-item-shop]

Oh, so he's actually in ðe cloak. I get it now.

⮚ it looks very cool already from here!

⮚ ...no spoilers, right?

[fallwitchquesti]

No, no, if you're going through it then I'm not telling you a single thing you'll come across. I even have a cursed passageway set up near the end so you can only talk spoilers with other people who've been through it! There'll be a pamphlet with trigger warnings at the entrance though, if you need it.

[shady-item-shop]

⮚ i don't þink i need it, but better safe ðan sorry.

⮚ also... what happens in ðe cursed passageway?

[fallwitchquesti]

Nothing much, you just walk through the wispy magic stuff and you're cursed until the event is done for the year.

[And yes, this'll affect you too, Kshwal]

[shady-item-shop]

What if I noclip þrough ðe ceiling instead of exiting normally?

Not gonna spoil anyþing, I just don't like curses. It's not like anyone can just hear me, eiðer...

⮚ is it ready for me to come in?

[fallwitchquesti]

[Fine, if you promise.]

No, sorry, but give it another week or two and everything should be up and running!

[shady-item-shop]

⮚ ah, alright!

Can you uh, ping/mention me when it's ready?

[fallwitchquesti]

[Sure thing, just need to wait for the lady upstairs to draw up a map an make plans.]

[fallwitchquesti]

⮚ okay, what is up wið ðe plants here? ðey used to be green just a few weeks ago, and now ðey're orange???
