It’s great to see you all having a great time, and hopefully the coming events doesn’t hinder that at all. If we’ve forgotten any of you, let me know. Or if any of you want to be part of the festivities now, we will add you.Â
Feel free to add to the drama by sending some in to us!!
OOC REMINDER;;
You have creative control!! Make the most of these! Or the least. You can twist these however you will, or ignore them. However if they spike up the idea of a major plot, please don’t forget to run that past us admins. Enjoy!!
Under the cut are your tasks:
@addiebutler
How about you stop those partying ways and actually try and help out with everything? Perhaps in the haunted house?
@alecthemartian
Maybe you should find a date for the party, I don’t want to see you coming with just friends- you’re far too cute.
@alliexburgess
Halloween is often full of pranks, like those gags of pulling the mask off someone? It’d be such a shame if the metaphorical mask got pulled off one of your flings, wouldn’t it?
@carmenrestrepogarcia
The vendor who was going to do the fresh food for the party has dipped out, and now the council is begging you to supply fresh food. Can you do it in time?
@dahliabrennon
Why not do something fun? Take a weekend off and get a little hellish. It’s Halloween after all.
@dancergirlnicolette​
Halloween is a great time for costumes, princess is quite popular. I heard you used to be one of those in real life. Would be a shame if you did it again.
@dansinclair
Halloween seems like a great time to trip, doesn’t it, Dan?
@dexavery
So many people out on Halloween! It’d be great to have some pictures of that.
@elliethemiller
Halloween has a lot of fun times. Though, getting scared comes along with them. I hope you aren’t given too much of a scare.
@graysonandrews
Halloween is a great time to be someone you’re not, don’t you think? Try flirting.
@hazel-may-bennett​
I think I speak for everyone when I say you throw some of the best parties. Well, we’ll definitely need a bon fire for after and during the costume party, why don’t you throw it?
@historicdreamingmason​
Let’s get out of our shell a bit, shall we?
@jaelynnclarke
What’s Halloween without some drunken festivities!? Those punch and cidar bowls could really use some more alcohol, man.
@lucacarlisle
Halloween needs some bravery, why don’t you take your girlfriend to the Haunted House, hm?
@maxlightfoot
Oh, look! It’s Carissa’s first Halloween. Be careful, there’s an awful lot of scary
@mechanicalkaytlinn​
Halloween is nothing without costumes! Wear something interesting. Maybe a bit prettier than what you would normally go for.
@nymphella​
Be careful, you’re trying to get clean. Maybe keep yourself around good influences.
@seanknives​
You’ve done quite the job with the recipes in your restaurant, what about a recipe for disaster? Someone deserves to know your feelings.
@talliesaxton​
Apparently there are some feelings you haven’t yet addressed, how about you let someone know just how you feel? After all, we reveal ourselves at some point on Halloween.
@tj-tom-fryer​
Costumes on Halloween are the best, but on your heart they kinda suck. It’d be great to tell someone something you’ve been thinking.Â
@valxcastillo​
Halloween is so much more fun on drugs, Miss Straightedge.
@violetxmayfaire​
You have quite the time with costumes it would be unfair of you to be in the contest- so why don’t you judge it?
@violettebeaumont​
Halloween has masks, and that’s great cause no one knows who you are. Take a chance to do something you normally wouldn’t.
@vivianxcarter​
Halloween is great for children! But keep an eye on them, they’re tricky little devils.
As I’m sure you’re aware, there is a big Halloween party coming up and while we’re looking forward to this, we also would like to do something nice before all the drama unfolds. So, as of right now we’re having a couple days of positivity! Please send in positive messages about your fellow Harpoolians, and we’ll post them without comment. (This will be a mini task on the main blog as well!)

You feel it burn when you're knocked down
But let the fire be you crown
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
So go and claim your kingdom
Then slay all your demons
Come on, come on, come on, come on
I know you know where you belong
