Forums » General Roleplay » Trick or Treat: Trent

It was Halloween night and Trent had an idea for a house set up. He decided to do an Aliens theme.

He got around and decided to set up areas where Xenomorphs pop up. He put an aera near the porch along with a facehugger egg that opens like a jack in the box. He made his drive look like the planet from the movie. Finally he dressed like Hudson.

"Eeehh.."

He was littery pushed out of Sumeragi to go outside. Nova insisted if he wanted some sweets, he go outside and get some. Giving a giant yawn, Merak was dressed as a knight, similar how he views himself in his MMORPG. He was still a bit sleepy and he dragged a bag next to him.

"Mmm.. I really should do what boss man says. If I want sweets, I needa get off my feet..."

He soon arrived a house area, a bit oblivious to the set up. He just wanted some sweets and then crash for the time being. That or use his worm holes to head back home.

Passing by one of the displayed that popped out at him, Merak gave a yawn, unphased.

Trent was at the porch waiting for the knight to come. He took notes for why the display didn't scare him. "I'll need to make it an animatronic"

Maybe he was just too tired from walking. He was lazy after all. So much effort for the young boy. Merak sleepily shuffled over to the porch and held the bag out a bit.

"I think...they say... 'Trick or.... treat...' or somethin'..." He slurred. "Boss Man made me go get candy an' said this would be a good way to get some fresh air."

As Jacob walked up to the next house, he knew the referance at once. Seeing as how he was dressed up like Cave Johnson, a video game character, it shouldn't be too surprising as movies aren't far off.

Jacob approached the house warily, trying to expect any sudden xenomorphs that may come his way. He saw the egg on the porch and tried to stay away from it as much as he could while still getting close enough for candy. He really would rather not be jumpscared, and he suspected that that's where it would happen. "Trick or Treat" Jacob said while keep his eye on the egg.

Trent got a bowl of candy and gave his visitors some. The candy was mostly Blowpops.

Jacob took a blow pop from the bowl and thanked the house owner. He stuck the candy in his bag before leaving. As he left, he walked backwards the whole time, keeping an eye on the egg until he was out of the driveway. He knew that it was kind of stupid, but Jacob didn't want to die because he didn't want to look stupid.

He loved all kinds of sweets, mainly lollipops. Lazily reaching out for one, Merak plucked one.

"...Thank Ya, dude bro." He said.

He noticed them leaving "Dammit I should've had it automatically activate unstead of remotely activate"

Dressed up as World of Warcraft Night Elf Hunter that looked like his costume had a lot of love and care put into it, Noël was making his way down along the streets. Admittedly, he had somewhere to be, but his child-like enthusiasm made him stop and take in a lot of what he saw. He had his trusty camera at his side as well, so there were not many missed opportunities for him to get a picture of decorations and costumes that he found amazing that night.

Walking past a house, there was a moment where Noël was nearly scared right out of his styrofoam armour as a Xenomorph popped out of the bushes and greeted the young film maker. Laughing it off after the initial scare, Noël took up his camera and took a picture.

"Amazing! I didn't expect someone to go through this much effort. It would have been neat to see advertisements for something like this!" Noël excitedly said to himself. He looked around and saw the house that this Xenomorph had been stationed in front of and started making his way up.

That was when the facehugger popped up from the eggs that had been out.

"Whoa, neat!" Noël excitedly said, taking his camera and snapping another shot. "I'm sure Michael Seymour and Ridley Scott would be impressed!"

Noticing someone that might have been the owner of the house, Noël approached them with a grin.

"Hey there! Happy Halloween and all that... I'd say 'trick or treat', but I feel like I've already been treated! You set this all up? It's pretty neat!"

Trent smiled "Yep. I'm glad you think so" He passed out his candy to the Trick or treater. It was kinda tough but I went through. "You an Alien fan?"

"You could say something like that," Noël grinned. He took the proffered candy and then went on to say, "I'm a movie enthusiast. I graduated with a film production degree and do a lot of analyses of film and direction. I want to be able to make my own movies at some point. Seem to have a bit of a good thing going for me on iFilm, but we'll just have to see where that takes me."

It was a humble look into his life, that was for sure. Though Noël just seemed more stoked about the whole of this person's Halloween set up.

"You got a favourite director? Mine is probably Kubrick" he said withba spark in his eye. "Just everything about 2001 amazes me"

Bringing a hand to his chin to think about it, there were a lot of names that wanted to spill from Noël's mouth, but he did give it some due consideration before he opened his mouth to respond: "I can't really say if I have a favourite per se. Many of the greats have techniques that are good and bad. However... I do have to say that George Miller had some really amazing film direction when it came to Mad Max: Fury Road. The way that he leads his shots to make sure that your eyes stay within a certain frame without having to divert focus. That was pretty amazing during some of those scenes."

"Mad Max is a movie I need to see" he says scratching his head "I also need to see Psycho"

"I have a feeling you'll enjoy it when you do eventually watch it," Noël said with a grin. The Blizzard fan was clearly enjoying himself since he was getting the chance to talk about cinema and film. Certainly not something he was expecting, but he definitely was not going to complain about it!

"Which Psycho movie are we talking about? The one from 1960, or the one from 1998?" Noël then went to ask, a particular gleam in his eye.

"The Hitchcock one of course" he smiled "I heard Hitchcock is amazing "

"Ahhh, so the classic 1960 one. Yeah, that one was great for its time, and still seems to hold up today -- it helped reshape and define the horror genre. It's a classic and one that I might end up revisiting tonight just because it's so topical right now," Noël said, grinning.

"Yeah. Meanwhile I need to find Watchmen" he said looking around. "Many people don't like it for some reason"

"Ah... personally, I didn't like how slow paced it felt at times," Noël admitted. "For being a superhero -- anti-hero -- movie, it was hard for me to actually get through. It had a lot of potential and had its moments for me, but... just a little more excitement would have made it, I think."
