For the sake of RP timeline continuity, giving people some time to work out characters, and for key developmental points Caracal, Ocelot, and Lynx; as well as Beretta, Sabre, and Aleis, are all kids! How old is up to you guys, but as long as they're not 'adult' stage so to speak, I think it'll work fine.
(Bun, this means that as of this RP, Arisa and Patri aren't born yet. Vinz isn't back in the picture yet either.)
I'm going to be playing Car as about 8 or so myself.
If your character is interacting with someone else in particular, please quote the owner!
This rp is going to be too big to do the normal round-robin. If you're doing something that might affect everyone (setting the house on fire, as an example. Also please don't do that.) just quote everyone under a spoiler tag. Or poke us in skype or whatever. If you want a response, just make sure you're getting that person's attention somehow.
Other than that, have fun! If you want to organize a game or something, feel free |D
(I'm sure Dee will be playing 'pin the hand on the Keris' *coughcough*)

((What I could salvage from the thread))
Roserain
Boris:
*Festival lights where strung up from tree to tree, little glowing bats and pumpkins, as far as he could tell. Huh, he expected something more... scary from the Hatter mansion. Maybe they were toning it down for the kiddos. He sighed at the thought, ushering in his latest brood. The front lawn of the Mansion looked completely overwhelmed, Boris didn't even try to make sense of it.
He couldn't help smirking though as he dodged a pumpkin that had been launched at his head. It hit the ground harmlessly behind him, judging by the splat. Not that he was paying attention, instead he was searching the crowd for his assailant. Fun and games at the Hatter Halloween Bash, eh?*

Nasaiki
Dum: He stepped out of the crowd with an amused smile on his face holding another pumpkin. They were supposed to be for baking but Pen, probably because the boy hated pumpkins, had thrown one at him and Dum just couldn't let it go. So now they were in the middle of a pumpkin fight, which he had decided to include Boris in when he saw the familiar head of pink and purple hair.
"Aww the cat dodged, well its nice to see you still have some of it left. Glad you could make it"

Calico:
It was not a lie that the only reason Calico had dragged her husband to this event was because Boris would be there. Now, there were those who were labeled daddy's little girl, and then there was Calico. Somehow, someway, Boris had become a being that deserved her adoration. As a child, she had either been reading in a corner, curled against her dearest brother who she cherished almost as much as Boris, or in her father's lap. Now, as an adult, she was constantly trying to reclaim her father's lap for her own, and while Boris had yet to finally say: "Cali, you're too big." she fully well knew that she was indeed too old and large for such a thing, yet she kept doing it. Her favorite places to be were either Kaname's arms, or Boris' lap, and she had yet to figure out how to get in both at the same time.
Odd, yes. But Calico was far from the strangest Airay. She was not violent, though had the facial ability to make herself as terrifying as possible if someone threatened the ones she loved. She was clever, and smart. She had full control of her powers. She was simply very attached to three men in this world: her favorite brother, her father, and her husband.
Fingers wrapped around Kaname's sleeve, she spotted Boris and immediately abandoned her beloved husband, hand raising and tugging on Boris' collar for a hug. "I brought Kaname." Was all she said as she raised her arms, face almost similar to a pout.

Boris:
Finally catching sight of his good friend, he put his hands to his hips and grinned, amused at the chaos around them.
"Dum! And here I thought this would be another one of Blood's boring tea parties. Yea, there might be some left but you can go get it, I ain't-"
Then there was a tug on his collar and he swiveled around to sweep up his daughter in a hug. There were few people that got close enough to do that, after all, and even fewer still that were allowed to. His ears twitched at the mention of her mate, but Boris kept up the smile all the same. He didn't hate the guy, more like was creeped the ******** out by him; but as long as he treated his little Cali well at least the old Cat knew she'd be well protected.
"That's ok, Cali. I figured it's an obligation to bring your mate to family functions."
He didn't need to put a point on it that the blood sucker should keep from causing trouble, he should know better.

Dee: "You missed, Brother. You really should be able to hit the cat by now." Dee said, adjusting the werewolf ears on his costume, and wondering what Keris would think of them. He was hoping to sneak away with her...or to sneak off and set up some fun little traps. All the kids were old enough to play with the adults, right?
Grabs Boris's tail. "Hey, how's big sis?"
Gin Rin
Kennet:
Having to come to terms with his own nightmare was hard enough, but knowing there were more out there like his? It left him completely baffled. Dinah was calm, if not excited, and made it seem run-of-the-mill, so he decided going along for the ride wouldn't hurt. Any more than it usually did.
After they'd stepped through the door, he looked around at the 'world', it seemed very...old compared to his. The carnival reminded him of a time nearly a century past when such things were popular, and the mansion they finally came to even more so. The pumpkin fight however, he was not accustomed to in any time period...

Marise:
Dum and Pen had crossed the line. They finally did it. A sweet, dark haired woman clad in a Keris-edited kitten costume burst into the room, her smile bright but eyes hinting at the fact she was not pleased. Someone had taken her pumpkins for the dinner she was making, she knew exactly who those someone's were.
"I suppose there won't be any pie tonight, since two hooligans decided to throw my pumpkins around and ruin a perfectly good dinner." Salt. She was going to put mounds of salt in Dum and Pen's food if they didn't fix this mess.

Dum: He rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at his twin brother. “Of course I missed brother, it was merely a warning shot. If I wanted to hit Boris on the head, I would have. Speaking of Missing, you haven’t seen Pen have you. Apparently he’s trying to destroy all the pumpkins before Marise can use them. Oh speaking of which, I should uh go check on Aleis… yes…. Make sure to have fun you old cat” and with that Dum ducked into the crowd intent on hiding from his wife for a while. It wasn’t his fault he hadn’t realized the pumpkins were Marise’s until he had already thrown seven of them.
Kaname: Kaname gave a smile back as Boris acknowledged him. Halloween rather amused him, with all the overly dramatic Vampire costumes. Even though his type of vampire at least was as normal as any other human, just with you know a low tolerance to sunlight, above normal intelligence, the whole needing to drink blood occasionally, oh and some of them had powers. Other than that, they were just like any other human being.
However he knew Calico’s family was a little weary of him. He blamed all the stupid false vampire propaganda since he would rather rip out his own heart than harm one of Calico’s family members.
“Uh… Pendulum?” he blinked as he was pulled out of his thoughts by the green haired male hiding behind him, the younger male having chosen his child form today.
Pen: “ I’m going to hide here for a little bit. See I may have uh destroyed all the pumpkins my mom was going to use for baking and she may be on the war path…. Probably”

Boris:
"Are you saying I'm old, Dee?"
He looked at his old friend with a glint in his eye, a challenge, or maybe a promise of violence.
"You have kids too, now, you know. And Alice might be coming later with some of the other kids, I think she's getting ready with Ruger and his lot."
God, even Ruger was having kids now. Ugh, no, he wasn't going to think about this stuff tonight. Pushing back his costume's cape, he stepped into the chaos, looking around curiously, nodding to Dum and smirking as the Tweedle took off.
Keris:
She sighed and stirred the cauldron again, adding more rum to it this time. Her 'Witch's Brew' wasn't spiked enough for her liking. Oh, there was a kid friendly version somewhere around here, and probably more tea than you could shake a stick at, but this was her project right here. The dish of dried ice underneath gave that nice touch too. Though she kept accidentally brushing her exposed thigh against the frigid metal.
Pushing her massive hat back so she could see, Keris decided the Brew was as good as it was going to get and put the ladle down before readjusting her ripped up mini dress that left very little to the imagination. It was time to get the party started, now if only she could find the Boys.~
Dinah:Grasping tight to Kane's hand, she looked over her shoulder, through the black rimmed glasses of her costume, to see if he was alright. Dinah was worried how he'd handle it all, and of course if she'd be able to protect him from her family's antics. She might be a Cheshire, but knew her own magic wasn't nearly as strong as some of the others. Still, Kane was an outsider and that should grant him some respect and distance from the games.
Dropping his hand, she adjusted her blood-smeared lab coat, deciding to at least undo the top button since she was feeling a bit choked. Shame the bottom of it didn't button as high as she liked, but there was no helping that.
"Are you ready Kane? I.. understand if you don't want to go, we could leave, but this is my family..."

Dee: Eyes Marise critically. She seemed quite pissed about those pumpkins that he had nothing whatever to do with. Also, she was wearing an un-Marise costume. Dee's tail wagged, and he sidled up to Marise, slinging an arm around her waist. "We could have some apple pie." Glares after his brother. Did his brother really just leave him alone with an angry, non-shootable person?
"Call you old, Grandpa-cat? Not me." Grins widely, an answering glint appearing in his own eyes. Still, Marise seemed testy. Probably best not to start shooting around her just yet.
Adze: Sidles up to her mother and holds up a bottle that is obviously not for kids. "You need any more of this in there?" Which was a dumb question, really. There was never too much booze in a drink.
Yushika
Calico:
After the hug she had desperately wanted was given to her she didn't have much to do. Crossing her arms and briefly flicking her tail around Kaname, the woman spotted a tiny Pen fleeing behind her husband's back and Dum escaping into the ground. Flicking a cat ear, she caught a rather irritated Marise, hand reaching out to tap Marise's wrist.
"Pen is behind Kaname. Dum is over there." Pointing right at Dum, her monotone face briefly entertained a smile before going stiff once more. Hey. Ladies gotta stick together.
Marise:
Dee slid up, his arm wrapping around her waist and mouth mentioning apple pie, and yet that was not good enough. She had a plan. She was going to execute said plan, whether her partner and son were helpful or not. Stepping onto her tiptoes and kissing Dee's cheek to assure him she wasn't mad, the woman shook her head. "But the apples were put in something else. Besides, a Halloween party needs pumpkin pie..."
Calico's touch surprised her, mostly because the woman never touched another. Calico was very particular about who she touched and allowed near her, and as far as Marise knew she hadn't done anything to warrant the other's favor. Still, the information was received with a smile, hand sweeping out and grabbing Pen's ear, giving it a quick pinch.
"You go and find me more pumpkin's before dinner, or else brownies will not be finding their way into your hands for a month." Pen was a full grown man? Meh. No one messed with Marise's kitchen. No one. Flashing a sickeningly sweet smile towards her son, she bounced off towards Dum and reached out, grabbing his ear as well and firmly holding onto it. While the smile stayed, those eyes quickly flashed an expression that would make a full-grown man run to his mother. Her smile widened as irritation ran rampant through her system, tail twitching violently.
"Dear." She purred, the shorter woman standing on her tip-toes. "How about you go and help your son replace my pumpkins, mmm?." Her tail twitched more, angrily thumping against the ground as her smile stayed firm.

Dee: Sends his brother a smug smile over Marise's head so she didn't see. "And I suppose you don't want to just get a pie from town? There's a shop Boss likes to go to to get his teas that have nice pies." He offered, pretty sure there wasn't much he could do to get his brother out of trouble this time. Besides...he could see Keris over there in a lovely little outfit, and he still wanted to show her his ears and...tail.
Nasaiki
Dum: he blew a mock kiss towards Dee at the glare. Yes, yes he had just left his twin with the one family member they couldn’t shoot. Marise was deadly when you missed with her kitchen supplies and he really didn’t know that Pen had used those pumpkins. After all the whole place was filled with the things.
“Calico, how could you be such a traitor? I shared my brownies with you all while you were growing up and this is how I get repaid”
He winced as Marise managed to grab his ear. “Hey I didn’t know they were your pumpkins. Pen started throwing them and I couldn’t let him win. Also isn’t pumpkin pie more a… uh what did big sis call them. Yes, isn’t it more of a thanksgiving thing?”
Pen: “That threat would work better Mommy, if you hadn’t taught me how to make brownies. I can make my own. I hate pumpkins” he cried, although after he pouted he warped his clock back up to 18 and grabbed Kaname. “And for that betrayal I’m stealing your husband sister in law”
Kaname: he blinked as he suddenly found himself walking backwards and out into the yard. It was strangely involuntary. He had heard that pen could do that to people if he had touched them, but he wasn’t sure when the younger male had actually come into contact with his skin. "Uh Pen you know you could ask...."

Boris:
Glaring at Dee, he flicked the Twin on the forehead, if they were gonna treat him like an old geezer he was going to treat them like little pests. If they kept this up he'd give them noogies and set his granddaughter on them. Keris normally was pretty good at keeping them busy, though he shuddered to think of -why-.
He snickered and patted Cali's head as she pointed out the trouble maker for Marise, but this was a little crowded for his tastes. Maybe he'd take to the trees and watch from above for awhile until Alice showed up...~
Keris:
Nods to her daughter, but tilts her head as an afterthought.
"Well, Adze, any more and it might burn the ladle. Maybe we should make a second batch that's guaranteed to cause liver failure or your money back."
She was about to say more, but then her eyes locked with Dee's. Oh, he definitely was staring, and liked what he was seeing. Keris winked at him before unwinding her tail, using the tip to beckon him towards her. Were those little werewolf ears her was wearing? Smirking, she started sauntering towards him, knowing the slits in the tight fabric would be almooooost exposing some rather naughty bits as she moved.

Adze: "True, but even I am not about to put alcohol in Boss's tea drinks. I like a good fight, but I'm not suicidal, clock or no clock." She shuddered to think what Blood would do to her for that grave offense. May as well try to give him a cup of coffee. "So unless we have some more of whatever this started out being...I might just drink it straight." Flicks tail playfully and grins at her mother before she noticed Keris looking at Dee. "Oh, brother. Time to high-tail it."
Dee: "Oi, Cat, no fair attacking while the girls are being distracting." Immediately gets distracted by Keris walking towards him. My, what a lovely costume with it's strategically placed cloth. Very taunting. Dee perked his werewolf ears and sauntered towards Keris with a lazy wave of his tail. "Hello, darkling, love what you've done with the dress." Hugs Keris and makes quick little touches of skin through some of the gashes.
