Entry tags:
there's a hole in the world, like a great black pit
Who: 
OPEN
When: October 31; evening. Following this!
Where: Kali's Palace
What: Grell is throwing a Halloween party, and it's open invitation. What could possibly go wrong?
Warnings: Will update as needed.
welcome to the palace.
[ Where the earth blackens and dunes of ebony sand swell, one may find the palace of Kali. It stands tall and stark beside the landscape, towers of gold and red surrounded by glittering water and vegetation. A mysterious and inviting sight - if one can brave crossing the small desert to approach it; for, strewn without, are the corpses of hellish creatures and men alike. Some fresh, others decaying and partially concealed within the sands. Nearer to the walls, thin and towering pikes leave their decapitated heads on display.
Fortunately, for the inhabitants, such ghastliness is barred from sight. Not only does its walls protect from the outside world, but within is an oasis, extravagantly made and catering to all worldly pleasures. Comfort and entertainment suited to any taste may be found here, regardless of one's background. The only notable wildlife are serpents, jackals, and a single tiger - all of which seem to be unusually benevolent.
..
The palace lawn has been tidied up a bit for this event, at least! Corpses have been buried, by help of the jackals, and heads fitted with cheesy Halloween masks, to seem less intimidating. The helpful beasts have been rewarded with mounds of pumpkin innards, and seem especially curious at the influx in guests. The youngest of them may even wander in close, for a playful sniff.
Inside the gates, the bridge has had its lanterns fit with festive coloured lights - and illuminated jack'o'lanterns line the path leading up to the palace and through its halls, to where the festivities are taking place. Its a decadent courtyard, but for purposes of this party, has been spruced up to have the appropriately spooky flair! A bloody barbers chair sits on display upon the upper balcony, fake blood drizzled down the wall beneath, leading to a mound of tacky stuffed corpses piled up against it. Stringy cobwebs with plastic spiders hug the railings leading down into the entertainment area. A giant meat grinder has been set at the end of the food tables, sticky with red corn syrup, and a plastic arm stuck into the top. ]
the entertainment.
[ The courtyard has been lined with exquisite rooms; of those on the upper level, are more intimate sitting areas. Below, a bar parallel to a fantastic lounge.
The most lively of the spaces would be the bar. Cushions line the walls for seating, several untouched hookah pipes left about for use. A bluetooth speaker has recently been added, God bless technology, and guests are encouraged to play their own selections of music. The bar itself has been stocked up with seasonal ale and hard ciders, in addition to the various hard liquors that came with it.
Several apples have been suspended from the arched doorways by their stems. The lounge area has been left unlit, to accommodate for a projector streaming classic horror films. One might even spot the palace tiger roaming through, wearing a cute jester's bell collar. ]
the menu.
[ Buffet tables have been set up in the courtyard, just outside the bar area. Cups, plates, and cutlery have been provided, encouraging guests to help themselves.
Non-alcoholic beverages are available here; spiced apple cider, and a bloody punch comprised of cranberry juice, blood orange soda, and pureed frozen strawberries - complete with drippy red gel icing to decorate the edges of the serving bowl.
The main dish offered is a giant meat pie, as a nod to the theme their host has chosen - and, as might be expected, a dismembered finger has been stuck into the center of its crust. No need for concern, as its clearly plastic!
For those with a sweet tooth, various packaged candies have been left scattered around the other dishes. More traditional glazed apples and sweet roasted nuts are also an option - and, of course, there's the Halloween Pudding.
No, Grell didn't actually prepare any of the food or drink, herself. Everyone can rest easy. ]
halloween pudding.
[ Within this honey-glazed fruit cake has been hidden five items, each object intended to divine the fortune for its recipient. A ring, for marriage within the year; a penny, for gaining substantial fortune; a thimble, for marrying in old age; a button, for soon finding a sweetheart; and a key, for an incredible journey.
For a character to participate in finding an item, insert a number between 1-20 in your top level! A number can only be chosen once, and only one number per character. ]
fun and games.
[ Once everyone has had their fill of food and - most notably - alcohol, the games will begin! Guests will be encouraged to bob for apples; hands bound behind their back, as they attempt to catch the hung apples with their teeth.
If that doesn't catch their fancy, Blindman's Buff is an option - requiring only a blindfold and a good spin. If they manage to capture someone and guess their identity, the captured player takes the blindfold; if not, their turn continues. ]
afterparty?
[ Hey, it's a big palace, so guests are welcome to stay the night, should they require it. There's plenty to explore and discover amongst its many rooms, so the fun of the night ends only when you want it to! ]
