Itâs great to see you all having a great time, and hopefully the coming events doesnât hinder that at all. If weâve 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 donât 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 donât want to see you coming with just friends- youâre far too cute.
@alliexburgess
Halloween is often full of pranks, like those gags of pulling the mask off someone? Itâd be such a shame if the metaphorical mask got pulled off one of your flings, wouldnât 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. Itâs Halloween after all.
@dancergirlnicoletteâ
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, doesnât it, Dan?
@dexavery
So many people out on Halloween! Itâd 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 arenât given too much of a scare.
@graysonandrews
Halloween is a great time to be someone youâre not, donât you think? Try flirting.
@hazel-may-bennettâ
I think I speak for everyone when I say you throw some of the best parties. Well, weâll definitely need a bon fire for after and during the costume party, why donât you throw it?
@historicdreamingmasonâ
Letâs get out of our shell a bit, shall we?
@jaelynnclarke
Whatâs Halloween without some drunken festivities!? Those punch and cidar bowls could really use some more alcohol, man.
@lucacarlisle
Halloween needs some bravery, why donât you take your girlfriend to the Haunted House, hm?
@maxlightfoot
Oh, look! Itâs Carissaâs first Halloween. Be careful, thereâs an awful lot of scary
@mechanicalkaytlinnâ
Halloween is nothing without costumes! Wear something interesting. Maybe a bit prettier than what you would normally go for.
@nymphellaâ
Be careful, youâre trying to get clean. Maybe keep yourself around good influences.
@seanknivesâ
Youâve done quite the job with the recipes in your restaurant, what about a recipe for disaster? Someone deserves to know your feelings.
@talliesaxtonâ
Apparently there are some feelings you havenât yet addressed, how about you let someone know just how you feel? After all, we reveal ourselves at some point on Halloween.
@tj-tom-fryerâ
Costumes on Halloween are the best, but on your heart they kinda suck. Itâd be great to tell someone something youâve been thinking.Â
@valxcastilloâ
Halloween is so much more fun on drugs, Miss Straightedge.
@violetxmayfaireâ
You have quite the time with costumes it would be unfair of you to be in the contest- so why donât you judge it?
@violettebeaumontâ
Halloween has masks, and thatâs great cause no one knows who you are. Take a chance to do something you normally wouldnât.
@vivianxcarterâ
Halloween is great for children! But keep an eye on them, theyâre tricky little devils.
As Iâm sure youâre aware, there is a big Halloween party coming up and while weâre looking forward to this, we also would like to do something nice before all the drama unfolds. So, as of right now weâre having a couple days of positivity! Please send in positive messages about your fellow Harpoolians, and weâll 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
