WHEN: During the daytime every day of October
WHERE: Throughout the streets of Cellar Door and Willful Machine.
CONTENT WARNINGS: N/A
WHERE: Throughout the streets of Cellar Door and Willful Machine.
CONTENT WARNINGS: N/A
The Black Parade has begun in Trench. You will begin to see residents painting skulls and monsters onto their faces, even the ones who abide by practical lifestyles. By the first week of October, you won't see a single resident of Trench without facepaint or a mask of some kind obscuring their face.
"It's for the Black Parade," they say, "It's to keep us safe. You should start painting your face too. You should disguise yourself so they can't find you."
Who, you might ask? Anyone dangerous. It's vague and unsettling, but you think maybe they are onto something. Call it intuition or basic common sense. Stalls pop up all around Trench selling cheap masks and costumes. They aren't exactly Halloween costumes. There's less of a focus on becoming something and more of a focus on looking different than you currently do.
Then the Black Parade really takes off. Black and white confetti seem to fall from the sky and you can hear the distant sound of trumpets and drums. You can feel the earth give small tremors and Trenchies begin to flock to Cellar Door and the Willful Machine. They line the streets and you can see why: a literal parade is coming through. Stages are set with talented musicians rocking out, singing into wireless, floating moonlit mics. Incredible, giant puppets walk through the streets guided by a dozen talented Architects. Other people move about in stilted costumes, elaborate gowns. Some performers set up small, stationary areas to perform for smaller crowds. The sky is filled with massive and unusual kites. Find one among the many stalls or make your own!
Stalls hand out candied applies, foil-wrapped candies, and roasted pumpkin seeds by the bundles. Hot ciders are kept in barrels ready to be served up in tin mugs, with or without alcohol. It's a festive atmosphere that seems to go nonstop 24/7 throughout October but exclusively in these areas. It's a good place to go to avoid some of the haunts of October and to have a good time. Why not get involved? Make your own puppet, float, or costumes, and join in the fun. Chunks of the road are reserved for parades, but others have been sectioned off for people to dance and mingle about. You quickly learn that face-paint and masked/concealed faces seem to be a good way of avoiding the attention of beasts, angry Pthumerians, and other unusual creatures in Trench.
It's not a foolproof method, but October largely celebrates the safety of ambiguity and is one of the few times the practical and pleasure factions get along. Get your face painted up or pick out a costume - it's both aesthetic and life-saving! The Black Parade is held annually every October all October long and is considered a significant Trench holiday. Many people refer to the costumes specifically as "Black Parade" costumes and sentiments commonly exchanged at this time include: Have a blessed and safe Blood Moon; May your Seasons pass unseen; Bless the many faces of cleverness; May you go unseen by the blood; Blessed Black Parade.
QUICK FACTS
1. Halloween costumes you can buy at the store won't be available unless a character intentionally makes one. Most of the costumes in Trench are more or less eccentric make-up looks and unusual masks. They look a lot more like Cirque du Soleil costumes than Halloween costumes.
2. Characters can have multiple costume/face-paint/mask changes throughout the month. No one will be forced into these - but it is strongly, culturally encouraged for everyone's safety to dress up!

CONTENT WARNINGS: Psychological-based curse, feelings of intense loneliness, mental health.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Psychological-based curse, feelings of intense loneliness, mental health.
It is said that the Blood Moon reminds Cloverfield of those he has lost over the decades. They say that the howling wind is actually the sound of Cloverfield's cries and there seems to be some truth to that. He can be seen wandering the Farther Shores and watching the moon. If you seek out Cloverfield and offer him comfort and companionship, he will bless you with a worn picture of a loved one or someone you miss desperately or even just a place you miss...Even if it's impossible for such a picture to exist.
Of course, not everyone will visit Cloverfield. Cloverfield's loneliness begins to curse the city of Trench. Sleepers will be impacted the most heavily as their blood will directly react to this curse. Sleepers who have a good sense of relationship may be able to avoid the curse, but those who often feel lonely or homesick will start to feel worse and worse as the days go by.
Eventually, their loneliness begins to manifest as a corpse-like version of themselves or the person they care about most. This corpse follows them around everywhere like a shadow. You won't notice your own Loneliness, but other people might, especially palebloods, Night Walkers, and Disciples. These corpses don't seem to care about anything or anyone and at first don't seem violent...But eventually, this Loneliness becomes consuming.
Once it does, you too will contort, and you and your Loneliness will soon be crawling about on all fours, blood floating out of you in thin streams. You'll be lost to your feelings of loneliness, stalking the streets with your Loneliness, looking for companionship. Of course, you're completely corrupt at this point, so your version of finding companionship most likely involves accidentally suffocating someone or other violent actions. Some people may never become violent once they are in the Final Stage, but the blood constantly flowing from them will create heavy blood pollution and may draw in far more dangerous creatures. You really don't want Lonely People walking around!
Better start some conversations - even if these Lonely People are creepy as hell. But, then again, they are just lonely. Hopefully, you will find peace of mind and find your people. Hopefully, you will banish loneliness...For the time being.
QUICK FACTS
1. This curse will impact people who are more isolated than others. Interaction with other people or animals will alleviate the curse and may completely stop it for some.
2. You can stop the curse at the corpse stage by confronting a Sleeper and opening up an emotional conversation about their loneliness. This may not always work, but the more the conversation works for the Sleeper, the more effective. The corpse will fleck away once the curse has been reversed.
3. Curses can continue to come back throughout October, but once you've experienced it once, it's less likely to occur again.
4. The Final Stage of the curse is the hardest to stop and most of the time, it's easiest to just kill the Cursed. It's easier to kill them than talk them out of their loneliness, but it is not impossible to talk them out of it. It requires dedication, patience, and some serious cleverness on how to survive a monster trying to kill you at the same time.
5. Loneliness can be widely interpreted once in the Final Stage. People should generally still look like themselves. How people act in this stage can vary from character to character and should be centric to how characters deal with their loneliness in general. If they're prone to shutting people out, then maybe their Loneliness is aloof and distant. If they're prone to clinging to toxic people, then maybe their Loneliness is accidentally violent. It's open to interpretation.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Ghosts, Themes of death.
Unfortunately, not everyone can gain control of their loneliness. As blood is spilled throughout Trench over loneliness, this blood pollution festers and begins to claim poor souls. Corruption leads way to beasthood and people lost to this find themselves transforming into familiar, legendary ghost stories of old-world lore. These Legendary Ghosts come out primarily at night. As the Black Parade established, anyone who keeps their faces disguised with make-up or masks will be completely safe from the Legendary Ghosts. Though if you go after a Legendary Ghost in a costume, you'll only be safe until you attack them. It's not a bad move for a sneak attack though!
...But those who forgot to dress up or felt like such superstitions wouldn't work...
Congratulations, you might come across the path of a Dullahan: a headless horseman carrying a whip made from a spinal cord, ready to throw basins of blood on you and draw in other beasts. Or maybe you encounter a far more subtle Legendary Ghost. Maybe you see a hitchhiker on the side of the road and decide to give them a ride, but when you look in your rearview mirror, they are no longer in your backseat. While most of these Legendary Ghosts are intending to harm you and spread more blood pollution, some just seem to be genuinely lost souls, lost to corruption, lost to their own failures and loneliness. In some cases, freeing them is protecting yourself and others, but in other cases, freeing them is just simple kindness.
You may meet a ghost bride who is waiting eternally for her wedding by one of the shrines in Cassandra. Maybe you meet a ghostly scholar at the Archives in Gaze. The spirits range widely and seem to haunt every corner of Trench - including your own homes. The only real way to deter a Legendary Ghost from your home is by heavily decorating your home with things like jack-o-lanterns, fake blood splatters, fake gravestones, and various other death-centric decor. This seems to repel Legendary Ghosts as they see it as a reminder of their own fate. Some are angered by the decorations while others are terrified by them and seem incapable of telling the difference between real blood and fake blood.
QUICK FACTS
1. These corrupt souls can be saved through blood rituals/magic/ghost banishings relying on blood artifacts. This will usually put the soul to rest - it will not bring people "back to life."
2. While it is mostly Trenchies turning into these beings, Sleepers can also be transformed into Legendary Ghosts. We provide a general outline, but the idea is that people are turning into legendary ghost stories so you can play with your own ideas/canons.
While Trenchies cannot be saved, we leave it up to you if a Sleeper could be brought back to themselves or if they will have to "die" to be cured of their Legendary Ghost status.
3. You can use famous Legendary Ghosts from around the world. We gave a few examples, but have fun with this! The Legendary Ghost-like creature you go with should generally be "ghost-like" / have to do with death specifically. They do not need to be exclusively evil/violent spirits, but many are.

no subject
[ He shifts behind her so he can help her tie it on ]
From what I heard, it's so we can't be recognized! A normal one might work, but this will really work. If you look like a butterfly, no one's going to think that you're you!
no subject
Even though she's not physically fighting off Wu at all, instead just allowing him to help her put it on.
How has this become her life? ]
Is your dragon one totally random then? Completely unrelated to you?
no subject
[ He eases the mask onto her face, and ties it gently into place. ]
I don't think we're hiding from our friends, but whatever awful creatures are haunting Trench right now. Unless those are your friends, in which case, I might recommend new friends.
The dragons are for Mako! Dragons were the first firebenders, he feels very connected to them. His omen is a dragon! Zuko. She's really wonderful. And they didn't have and badgermoles, so.
Ta-da!
[ He steps back to let her admire herself, and gasps. It does look quite stunning on her ]
Wow, you look great! We could do something with your hair, and you would look just like a princess-- [ Wu, don't get carried away ]
no subject
But then Wu draws the attention back very quickly towards the way Ange is looking right hnow. One hand gingerly touches part of her mask, but considering it doesn't cover up her entire face, it does absolutely nothing to hide the fact that she's still looking very flustered at that remark. ]
C-Come on! [ She manages to force out, huffing. ] What part of me could ever look like a princess? It-- It doesn't suit me!
no subject
[ Perhaps indeed. Instead of continuing that thought, he smiles at her and nods ]
What do you think? Do you like it?
no subject
.. especially not while she's still - inwardly - freaking out about pretty much everything in this current moment. ]
I.. don't know.
[ How does she express 'I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what I do or don't like half of the time' without sounding pathetic?
Simple, she just doesn't. ]
It feels weird. [ Clearly this is the most eloquent other way to put it. ]
no subject
[ Not his preferred reaction, but hey, he can work with that. He squints at her, then at the masks around them ]
Well, you don't want to feel weird, especially if we have to wear these all month to protect us! So, what makes you feel less weird? Comfortable, even? When you feel like you're at your most confident, what are you wearing?
[ For him, it's suits. They're his armor. He taps his lip with a finger, trying to think of what might work ]
no subject
But is Wu really the right person to admit that to? Sure, he's nice, but they're not close enough for her to trust her with something that feels that intimate. ]
Something that.. doesn't make me stand out. [ That's the safest answer she arrives at, after considering it for a moment. ] I don't like stuff that's too fancy or extravagant. Or things like these masks. I just like.. simple things.
no subject
[ Ah, another one like this. Wu carefully unties the mask from her face and sets it back down, scanning the stall with his hands on his hips ]
You know, simple can be very elegant. Would that be alright? Simple, but sophisticated.
[ His eyes light on a mask, and he waves the vendor over to get it for him. He holds it out to Ange with an expectant smile ]
How about this? It's still very lovely, not not flashy at all!
no subject
Because she knows it's for a moment. Wu doesn't seem like the type to give up so easily when it comes to this sort of thing. ]
That one?
[ She seems to eye it for a moment as he's holding it out to her, like she's considering it, but then she slowly reaches out to it to grab it herself, looking at it in her hands. ]
.. I guess it's better. No one would think I look ridiculous while wearing something like this.. [ .. then again, it is still a mask, huh. So she can't help but add a: ] Probably.
no subject
Honestly, I don't think you could. You're a very put-together person. [ But clearly she is worried about it. His brows furrow and he looks her over ] Why are you worried about that?
no subject
Isn't.. everyone worried about that?
[ Granted, it might be saying a lot about her that she'd assume that.
But maybe Ange isn't realising quite as much yet as she's saying those words. ]
no subject
[ He knows he's ridiculous, is the thing. It just kind of comes with the package deal. He's Wu, he's loud, he's ridiculous. That's who he is ]
It's a fair concern! But I don't know that you could look all that ridiculous, unless you really tried to.
no subject
There's so many reasons why Ange always has to look at her most well-kept-together, after all. Because she can still remember the harassment from her aunt, the jeers from her classmates.
Ange tries to push them out of her mind, gritting her teeth together in the middle of the effort, before she speaks up again. ]
That's why I think you're pretty bold to not be worried about it. .. not in a bad way though, I guess.
no subject
But you're not like that at all, Ange. You have this quiet confidence to you. That's why I think you don't have to be worried about it, because if someone sees Ange in a beautiful mask, they'll have to stay out of your way because you're just strutting it like it's no big deal, you wear cool masks like that every day! If Ange does it, it has to be cool.
[ Sometimes, he starts talking, and he can't stop, his arms waving to emphasize everything coming out of his mouth. And he does believe it. She can feel the sincerity in his words, traveling through his new powers ]
no subject
But at the same time, she can tell that he's not lying. It's kind of weird just how sincere those words feel - but they do. ]
.. it's kind of nice to know you feel that way about me.
[ Maybe it's exactly those words that get her to actually put on the more simple mask he handed her, despite still feeling kind of unsure about it. ]
Do you think everyone would think that too?
no subject
[ He gets a little thrill that she decides to put it on, and he steps up to help her tie it on ]
What do you think? It is much simpler, but I think that's nice. You're right, you're not a flashy person, and this? This is so quiet confidence.
no subject
[ It's still something that's being admitted very uneasily here, but Ange has to take baby steps with this sort of thing. If she says much more than that, she might just get flustered again to completely reject the idea.
And that's not exactly an option, when it seems like it'll be a good idea to carry these with them for the month. ]
Thanks for helping me pick. Not to betray my quiet confidence or anything, but.. I'm just really not good with this stuff. [ Ange figures it can't help to say that so bluntly when it's most likely already really obvious to Wu, considering everything going on here. ]
no subject
[ He laughs softly, and puts on his own mask so she doesn't have to be alone in this ]
Even the most confident people are terrible at some stuff! Mako is really confident, but he's the worst dancer. Like, the worst. Stiff as a board and steps on your toes.
no subject
Perhaps just at thinking positively. ]
Are you sure that's the kind of thing you should be telling just anyone about your boyfriend? [ At least that's some dryness she can fall back on, something that's easy to bat right back at Wu without feeling incredibly embarrassed about. ] He could sue you for this slander.
no subject
He would be the first to admit it! He claims he doesn't like dancing, but I think he would if he just let loose a little.
[ Wu offers her his arm, having somehow already paid for her mask. ]
Let's go have some more fun! Or, well, let's go do something you think is fun. Shopping is fun for me.
[ Obvi. He would shop all day if he could, for himself, for others. It's just as fun both ways. ]
no subject
[ There's the faintest moment where she just stares at that arm. Ange isn't really good with most physical contact, after all.
But then she does take it, hooking her arm around it, rather than rejecting the offer. Wu's been so kind to her today. Isn't this the least she can do in return - show that she trusts him? ]
We can go shopping. I don't mind. [ Especially if it might make Wu happy. ] And let's grab some of those candied apples. They look like they'd taste good.
no subject
He does in fact pay for some candy apples for the pair of them. ]
