As you approach the starting point of your journey you will find a trio of what appears to be children. All less than four feet in height, their heads are covered in burlap with black buttons sewn for the eyes and the stitching of the burlap overlaps to give the appearance of smiles. "Welcome. Welcome!" says one, a voice high pitched and excited. "Welcome to the bloody trails!" "Yes, welcome." says another in a low, creepy tone. The third, the smallest of the trio, points to the archway of trees and the path that lays beneath. The moon's hang high tonight and as their light touches the autumn changed leaves, it gives an eerie display of red to light to the path. Crimson leaves bed the floor of the pathway, guiding those that dared this night though it seems that the colors of the leaves were not the only thing crimson. Leaves and ground alike was splattered in what appeared to be blood - a gory path to lead the way to the main event. If that wasn't enough the trees themselves seem to randomly ooze and bubble blood from their bark. "Do not stray! Do not stray!" The first on warns. "Or they will get you!" says the second. "And they won't kill you. Oh, no. They do far worse and make you wish you were dead." "Don't say that! You will scare the vic...guests," the first one scolds the second, "Go! Go! Try not to die!" "And don't touch the trees! Or you will regretttttt itttttt!" the second gave a last warning

"Regret it! Regret it!" One and Two sing together as you move to the pathway.

As you follow the path that was lit by the sparse moonlight filtering through the branches of the bloody trees, just on the edge of one's vision, you can catch a glimpse of small figures among the trees. These small, shadowy figures with glowing white eyes haunt and follow after those they have deemed a target.

Haunting, unnatural sounds fill the air as you travel. Not your normal moans and groans of Halloween but snarls and sounds of creatures that haunt nightmares. Screams too real to be faked, both men and women like, aid to the sounds that fill the night. Midway along the path is when people will start to randomly spot a large creature hunched over among the trees or pulling some helpless, bloody victim who strayed from the path. A warning if ever there was to remain on the path itself until the end. It is a twenty minute walk along the bloody trail.



Ever so often one will even dare to play a trick on one of the trail wanderers. A tugging of hair from what could've been a branch... Grasping at ankles from the leaves" Running close by, just enough to give a start but never fully in sight"

Even if one were to try and catch one they would find that they can never fully catch one in sight. As if it is just one's imagination that is moving the shadows.

OOC Notes and Interactions:

http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngThe bloody trails is an intro to the actual event itself. I added year it for people who wish to participate in a more "forum based" post. Either because they cannot make it to Fright Night or for more creative reasons. It is not required to be there at Fright Night itself. Just something to give people to play with. http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngThe Shadowlings cannot be caught. They are basically shadows fooling with people. While their tricks can at times be a little much and cause hurt, please don't post your characters losing limbs. Otherwise, have fun with these little tricksters. http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngIf your character touches the blood on the trees they will be "marked". This is something for the main event so if you make it to Fright Night please just let me know via PM/forums that you posted your character interacting with the blood on the trees. Your character will find that after touching blood there will be a faint crimson stain on their skin, despite rubbing and/or scrubbing at them. http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngThe creature that is dragging away people is for show and while it can come up to people and scare them, it will not hurt them. People being 'dragged off? are NPC actors and give a very good show of playing a gory death! http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngIf you have any questions please contact me via PM or Forums http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngMost important - HAVE FUN!

As you break from the bloody forest and the trial you come across a place that looks like it should be condemned. Surrounded by gloomy, dead trees and grass, the trail continues on, leading to the porch steps. The heavy doors are open for Fright Night, welcoming guests with subtle but eerie sounds.

Once inside you are greeted with a spacious area, black velvet backed chairs and couches for sitting if one so dared. Just don't be surprised if the monster under the couch plays with your feet.

The decorations are sparse as the old house already has its own webs and creepy crawlies. Don't worry the floors are clean of any dirt and mold. Not so sure about blood though. Oh don't mind that dead rat! (not really!)

This year Fright Night will not have it's many rooms to give you nightmares. Instead this year will focus on the tricks and treats during the party itself.

The Bar and Drinks

http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/drinks_zpsfcyve9hg.jpg

The bar is manned, so to speak, by an unseen force. When approaching it there is a sign that states: "Speak your order clearly for the tender". Of course you see nobody but as you speak out your order, it will be fixed right before your eyes as if someone were standing there mixing the drink for you. Don't be fooled. There is someone there. The invisible bartender! Clever costume don't you think? ​ The bar has a very extensive choice range so don't be afraid to ask for your favorites. ​ Drink Specials for the occasion: ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngWITCHES' BREW - Be warned. This is a trick or treat drink! While it tastes fantastic fruity it can either sate your thirst or cause you some trouble. You have been warned! If your character happens to have one of these tasty treats - please PM The Unknown ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngEXPERIMENT - Unlike the WITCHES' BREW, the experiment is not a Trick or Treat drink but rather a delightful mix of melon liqueur, Bailey's Irish Cream, and grenadine. ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngBRAINS - No doubt it looks like real brains but it is, in fact, a drink. Strawberry vodka, lime juice, Bailey's Irish Cream, and grenadine will have you going back to the bar and moaning for more brains. ​ As requested, Katt's personalized jelloshots will be making an appearance. Please drink responsibly! ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngKatt-a-Tonic - If you have been to her shifts you know about this knockum sockum black jello shots. Whatever it is in this delicious licorice treat is sure enough to knock even a dragon on its rear and in a daze after three that is why it is limited to three per customer. ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngBruised By Katt - These yummy purplish-blue jello shots aren't as strong as a Katt-a-Tonic but it sure to leave your taste buds happy. Now comes in the form of a margarita garnished with lime! ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngStrawberry Jello Shots - Fresh strawberries have been carefully cored out and filled with a margarita jello mixture, the top dipped in salt and served with a sliver of a lime wedge. Yum!

The Food

http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/food_zpsn6wlkacr.jpg

The food this year is all finger food. Get it' Finger..Food. Ahem! Moving on! There will be plenty of meats, cheeses, and condiments to make a sandwich or fifty but also there are: ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngSpidery pizza dough with marinara sauce. Grab your own spidery yum or just break off a leg! ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngGingerbread mistakes. Well....I don't know what happened to these poor little guys. They went in the oven looking just fine and came out looking like...this. Still tasty though! ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngPumpkin Pie Mummys dusted with cinnamon and sugar. ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngMonsterberry Cupcakes. Strawberry cupcakes with vanilla frosting dusted with pieces of crushed chocolate cookie (oreos) and topped with monster strawberries. Be careful. They may bite back! ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngCandy Corn Cupcakes. Tastes just like the candy! With fluffy candy corn frosting. ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngBlack Cat Gingersnap Cookies with Candy Corn eyes. ​ http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab276/kattstrife/others/FrightNight2016/caticon.pngCandy Corn Pizza. Okay so it isn't really candy corn. It is a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. Tastes like a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. There is also just cheese pizza for the non-pepperoni liking people out there.

Games and Fun

Wouldn't be Fright Night without a few games, tricks, and who knows what to keep you on your toes, now would it"

Like every year, Costumes are encouraged but not mandatory. They are, however, mandatory if you wish to get the prize for best costume. A judge will be picked at random to pick who they felt had the best costume of the evening. Did you carve a pumpkin" Oh tell me you brought me a pumpkin! Leave with me and I will make sure that the owner of my favorite one will get a very nice prize indeed.

We like our tricks. And We like our treats. This year's little trick or treating comes in the form of a black box with a hole in the lid. It looks like an ordinary black box. Yes, it does. And that looks like a simple hole. When you peer into it, the darkness inside seems to go on for eternity. That is all you will be able to see. Darkness. ​ Now question is - Are you brave enough to stick your hand in and grasp for what could be a treat' Maybe there is a tasty thing inside. Or maybe something will make you a tasty treat. One thing is for sure - no two people will have the same result. ​ Go ahead - stick your hand inside. I DARE YOU If your character participates in the Box please PM me to let me know!

You didn't touch the trees on the way here, did you? If you did I feel terribly sorry for you. If your character touched one of the trees while on the bloody trail please PM The Unknown to let me know! This is only for those who post in the forums. While it is not mandatory to make a post of your character going through the trail - this is for those who do.

WITCHES' BREW - Be warned. This is a trick or treat drink! While it tastes fantastic fruity it can either sate your thirst or cause you some trouble. You have been warned! If your character happens to have one of these tasty treats - please PM The Unknown

The Box and the Witches' Brew are all for Live Event interactions only. Touching the trees is suppose to carry over from the forum post to live play as a live event interaction. While you can still post your character being at the party it simply wouldn't carry the same effect that is planned for the live event. Sorry for the confusion and not making that clear.
