Forums » General Roleplay » Trick-Or-Treat: Kahlan

Halloween was always an exciting time for Kahlan. She loved seeing kids get dressed up, though in a usual teenage way she was long over it.

Of course, her fantasy loving parents were not and they were practically planning next year's costumes as they left. It was tradition for them to leave Kahlan (a number of years ago, it would be so she could go trick-or-treating herself), but this would be the first year the completely trusted her alone. She was glad for that: she was sixteen now and practically an adult. Nothing bad happened to her last year when it was just her and her cousin, who was seventeen at the time.

As it was, she finished filling the candy bowl and threw on a pink dress and a crown (one of many in the house) and sat down to watch horror movies. She suspected it wouldn't be much different than previous years.

Jacob stepped up to the door wearing his Cave Johnson costume. He knew that it would appear that he had simply dressed up as a human to most people, but that human had some... inspiring words. Jacob rung the doorbell and waited for someone to answer.

Kristan and Lirit both walked up to the house, Kristan having to give Lirit the jacket for her cosplay as Komaeda Nagito, since the costume Lirit was wearing, which was a costume of Chihiro Fujisaki, wasn't all too warm. Though Kristan didn't mind. They both walked up to the house, Kristan first taking her jacket back, before knocking on the door.

Kahlan sighed audibly. Of course, just as she got comfortable is when the doorbell rings. She paused the movie and got up, throwing the door open in calculated, dramatic way.

She smiles at the three guests, "Happy Halloween!"

Jacob held out his bag and said the known mantra of "Trick or Treat" thus sealing the deal. The wind blew around them and whistled. Would Kahlan complete the ritual? Would she succeed in stopping from releasing the powers of those who lie below? The wind blew harder and the whistling turned to screaming. Those from below came closer and their words become clearer. "Finally out of this earth, onto the bodies of those who think they live, onwards to those who think they are dead, onwards to victory!"

(Sorry, I'm in a weird mood lol. You can just ignore that)

Panda walked up to the house with a happy smile on her face. She could imagine herself saying "Trick or Treat!" as she walked up. Finally the day of the candy, a whole day of going to random strangers houses saying some weird phrase some guy made up and getting free candy!! With her white and black Panda costume on (get it ) she walked up to the house and saw three other guests. Im getting candy no matter what!" she thought to herself and looked at the girl inside the house.


"Trick or Treat!!"

"Trick or treat!" Lirit and Kristan smiled softly, failing to say 'Trick or Treat' in unison as they hoped to.

The night was filled with mostly kids that were excited about something as they dashed down the walkways with costumes and bags or buckets that were slowly getting filled over time with candy. To this woman, it was such a strange custom -- though perhaps that was just something that the Evian people wished to retain from their Old World traditions. Something like that.

She caught wind of those words -- some kind of 'incantation', perhaps? Kids were always saying it when people answered their doors. That phrase seemed to summon candies and other treats at times from the residents of the household.

A strange custom indeed.

Seeing what all the hubbub was about, the feathered woman followed along after some costumed individuals -- the most apparent one being the person in the panda suit. She then found herself at a house where there was a pink princess handing out candy.

Pursing her lips momentarily, that was when the woman finally spoke: "T... trick or treat."

Kahlan paused at what was going on with Jacob, but decided to just drop a candy in his bag to see if he would stoop being weird or not. She decided to drop two, in fact. A Kit Kat and a Snickers bar, "uh, have a good evening?" He was a bit strange (but seemed harmless enough.)

She then tossed a tiny bag of M&M into Panda's bag, "I like your costume, it's cute," she smiled.

To the pair she tossed a Mars bar and a Mac toffee. She wasn't sure who they were, but they clearly worked hard on their costume,"you look super cool"

Finally, the the last guest. She tossed a pack of Smarties, glad to be rid of them. She preferred M&ms and would give the Smarties away first tonight, expecting to have some candy for herself, "all those fathers look a bit itchy..."

Jacob nodded to the human, accepting the candy treat. His bag closed, and off he went, in search to find another place where the winds may roam. Her offering stopped the supernatural happenings, and everything was normal again. Well, as normal as you can get on Halloween.

As she watched Jacob go, Kahlan shook her head, blinking. A weird energy seemed to leave and she felt... safer?

"They aren't..." Seria replied rather simply after receiving these 'Smarties'. Looking to them, Seria pocketed the package and noted someone leaving the premises. Turning her attention back to the likely owner of the residence, Seria then went on to say, "you get used to them. Anyways, thanks."

Adjusting her cloak, Seria turned to depart as well. The custom was not so bad. Perhaps other treats could be gathered that night.

"Thank you," Kristan chimmed, Lirit saying thank you afterwards before walking off. "What the hell's a Mars Bar?" Kristan mumbled when they got to the streets, observing the bar. "It's a chocolate bar," Lirit told her "What's a toffee?" "Oh, it's a sort of caramel candy," Kristan told Lirit. "Huh... Trade?" Lirit asked. "Hm, sure," Kristan shrugged, trading their candies as they continued to the next house.

Kahlan watched them walk down the path. Everything in the yard was decorated and had an ethereal vibe to it.

Rather than pop back in for the movie, Kahlan sat on a chair on the front porch and started to juggle two of the chocolate bars in the bowl. One up then other over. One up, the other over.

It was a cool night but not too cold, so it was nice sitting out here like this.
