The crisp, fall air smelled of dried leaves and delicious food as the local towns festival had moved into full swing. The Halloween festival had become a local tradition that many of the neighboring towns had heard word of, traveling some distances for an evening of fun and a little bit of scare. For children and adults alike it was an opportunity to dress up, with the shop owners embracing the chance to sell their wares and food late into the evening. The Order was no exception to knowledge of the festival happening not too far from their castle home. To some Halloween in general was utterly appealing—after all, the occult was far too real for the members of The Black Order, far more real than it was for the general public.

Silvia Mirabelli couldn’t help herself. When Jerry had mentioned that he had taken the day off to participate in the fall festival by competing in one of the cooking competitions, Sil couldn’t help but jump at the idea to accompany him. While the Order members had no doubt at all that Jerry would be the winner of the competition, it was all meant in good fun—he had eventually decided to make a pumpkin cake so huge and ornate that at least a hundred people were going to be able to have pieces. Sil had come along to help watch and make sure no wandering fingers ended up in the frosting, she decided a decently scary costume would help her scare off the kiddos who might want to take a premature bite. What better way was there to scare them off than by threatening to take a bite of the young offenders?

As she twisted one of her curls around her finger watching Jerry put the finishing touches on his giant cake masterpiece, Sil wondered if dying her hair black had been too much dedication towards her night time task. The normally warm mahogany curls were the color of spilled ink, pinned up into luxurious curls on one side of her head. The false elongated canines glowed eerily white against her tanned skin, coupled with a snarling line of blood. She had just gotten done hissing playfully at a group of kids who had been looking to get scared, laughing quietly as they ran away with screaming giggles. “I hope you’re almost ready to cut that thing up… I think the kids are going to create a torch mob and stake me with forks.“

Jerry, who was dressed up as... of course, a dead chef with a fake butcher knife sticking out of his stomach, laughed.

((*Is still dead* Ugh......I AM A ZOMBIE!!!!! All that aside.....I'm loosing!!!!!.....I DIED HERE!))
Hyber, as a person from Amestris, had never heard of such a holiday as Hollows eve before, but for her, it seemed perfectly legit. Standing in the halls, she had heard the news of such a lovely festival, and decided to take part, for it seemed to be such a lovely occasion for it. Stepping outside of the Black order again for the first time in a long while was perfectly fine for her. Dressed in an outfit that was wildly similar to one of the exorcists, she made her way in to the town. As she observed the many stands of food, and the people laughing and conversing, she felt a small twinge in her heart. What an event to be spent without one of her friends. She shrugged it off, and went to stand in a crowd surrounding a few tables. It seemed to be a contest of sorts, and being to curious child she was, she decided to watch what would happen.

Aka pouted as he made his way through the crowded streets, usually he would be jumping for joy to be in such a festive place however... thinking back to what had occurred before he left the Order alone made his pout deepen. He had showed up and finally begged Yuuka into going to the festival in town with him however when they were all dressed up, Yuuka was so cute in her Red Riding Hood costume, and left her room a Finder spotted them and complimented her with a head pat too no less. In a huff of embarrassment she had locked herself in her room. Not after giving that poor man a punch... He though amusingly. He couldn't blame the man though and his own wolf-man outfit hid his ears and tail perfectly. What a shame, he'd need to remember to bring her back some candy.

After a long walk and checking out of shops Aka spotted the group of exorcists he had seen with Yuuka many a time along with- "Miss Kiah!~" Aka ran over arms waving in excitement, some people giving the man a few strange looks.

Seeing Miss Sil, Hyber smiled a little, her violet eyes brightening with mirth before attempting to cross the large crowd of costumed people. Nearly falling over twice, and getting stepped on, and her outfit was nearly ruined, she finally made it across, and saw other familiar, and not so familiar faces. She smilled, again, and dusted off her blue and black outfit.
"Ah, hello there! I was just looking around, when I saw this! What a mysterious holiday this is! I've never seen anything like this..." Was what she said when she finally made it over.
"Is this a common occurrence?" She her dark eyes darted around, seeing everybody in their fancy costumes. She laughed a little bit.
"This is really fun already!"

"Haha, hey Lavi! It's not that bad out here... I just wish my top was a little longer...," Kiah laughed, resisting the urge to wrap her arms across her stomach, "So you're supposed to be a genie?" At the sound of a familiar redhead, she spun around and returned the wave with a large smile, as it had been awhile since she'd seen her 'bro'. "Aka! How have you been? Oh wow... I like your costume!" she exclaimed, secretly wanting to scratch his adorable ears.

"I've been training to take your kind down since I was young~. Don't think you'll take me down so easily," she grinned, watching the older woman latch onto Lavi, showing little concern for his safety in the presence of a vampire. Kiah's attention was soon on the new arrival as she nearly killed herself running through the crowd, grimacing as she was close to being squashed on the ground. She'd seen the girl around, and had been informed of who she was, but she hadn't had the chance to properly meet the strange girl.

"Hello! Hyber, right? I don't think we've ever met!" Kiah greeted with a smile, holding her hand out. "I'm Kiah, by the way. Komui's assistant. You didn't get hurt out there, right?" The blonde woman blinked at Hyber, remembering that she thought she was from some strange land. She nodded along with Lavi's explanation and added, "Halloween is every year on the 31st of October... you've never heard of it?"
