camp MONSTER MASH // trick-or-treating AU

[SOOTSTAR]

//VERRY SILLY AU THREAD where they are still cats but somehow have costumes and understand the concept of halloween. dont worry 2 much about logic and explaining in this thread, theres no rules, just have fun!!

She is adorned in a black and red dress, a cloak hanging off her back, and a crown bedazzled with faux ruby gemstones. Already sharp canines were extra pointy for this evening thanks to the help of a fake set, and her claws were died red. Sootstar had desired to turn herself into something more elaborate this Halloween but... the time snuck up onto her. So here she stood wearing a far from original store-bought-like vampire costume. It was better than not trying at all though, like many adults didn't bother during Halloween. But Sootstar wanted to help make the afternoon more fun for the young members of the clan, especially her children. Wasn't very fun if she didn't dress up now, was it?

Outside her den she's placed plenty of goodies for the children to come trick or treating for. Ranging from anything basic like small rabbits, thrushes, and toads (mostly for her to graze on), to honey dipped mice she had gotten thanks to the help of Dandelionwish. Meanwhile the warriors and apprentices were decorating camp and laying out their own goods to hand out. She spots parents assisting their children with their costumes while getting themselves ready for the event.

Sootstar smiles, inhaling to take in the sweet scents around her she snacks on one of the toads from her pile. ​

"Turn A Deeper Blue"​

There was a soft clang with every step and these plates were much heavier than anticipated. Rune had adorn himself in a knight costume with a silver chest plate, shoulder pads, and of course his tail had a sleeve of chainmail across his tail as well, woven into the longer white fur. This was rather exciting! He had never celebrated a Halloween before, maybe something close to it but not exact, and he was ready to indulge in the festivities. The dual colored face moved up to adjust the helmet on his head to look around the clearing for a moment before spotting Sootstar sitting in her gown, munching away on a toad that was brought out as treat. The honey covered mice where his favorite ones, but alas Dandelionwish only made so many of them.

"Evening, m'lady" He greeted her with a crooked grin across his maw and pulled his own little leaf-bag of goodies over to his side. Amber and lilac hues though seemed to search for someone; Duskfire. Was he to be apart of this Halloween? What would he be dressed as? Rune gave a flick of his ear before turning back to his leader, "Get anything good? If you have any honey covered mice, I will happily take them," He gave a wag of his long, feathery tail. ​

[littlewhisper]

Idly munching on a lizard’s tail, at the mouth of a spiderweb-covered tunnel, sits Littlewhisper. Even with six sharp red eyes painted onto her face and two extra pairs of “legs” affixed to the velvety black cloak she wears, the small she-cat is more a friendly sight than fearsome. Above the tunnel behind her hangs a banner, white with jagged, dripping blood-red lettering: The Vampire Queen’s Lair: Enter if You Dare!

From within the tunnel a shriek echoes, and the tunneler grins slyly. "Only the bravest make it through her lair," she says offhandedly, shaking her head. Any moment now, she’s expecting one of the more bold youngsters to step up and go in. But even if they don’t have the guts to go in, there’s a few treats at the entrance for the cowardly ones.

[ I’M STILL HERE ]​

 

[Galeforce]

↞ RACE THE WINDS

Pumpkin themed basket? Check!
A certain blue hedgehog costume? Check!
Oh boy, he was ready for the night! Galeforce might have been an adult but he still possessed the excitement and heart of a kit. However, before he could officially start having fun that eve he needed to get his duties finished off. The tom set himself up in front of a collection of pumpkins that had been selected for their form and sizes. "Gather here if you want to carve some pumpkins! The best one will win a prize!"
​

 

[ASPENPAW_]

( ♬ ) As she takes careful steps around camp, Aspenpaw is almost starting to regret her choice of costume. Sure, a simple sheet with holes for her ears, tail, and eyes is easy, and hopefully recognizable as the ghost she intends, but she hadn't really anticipated the logistics of trying to make her way around with two small eyeholes and the sheet practically tangling around her paws. Not that she plans on changing it now - after all, the festivities are about to start! Though she's hardly more than a kit herself, Aspenpaw still felt it her duty as an apprentice to prepare something fun for her clanmates, though she's not sure how exciting it will be. In preparation, she's been gathering all the interesting little trinkets and things she could find around the territory - small stones with cool shapes, pretty feathers, lots of colors of leaves, and anything else she could get her paws on - which now sit piled near her along with a healthy heap of moss. She's already formed a few balls of moss, decorated with various petals for eyes, pointy stones for fangs, and full blossoms for approximations of typical Halloween sights, and Aspenpaw hopes her examples will be enough to inspire some creativity in her clanmates to make their own little monsters.​

( WE'RE ALL JUST SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING ☾ )

 

[WINDSTRIDER]

Windpaw feels silly stepping into the clearing, but thankfully, their costume hides their red ears. Atop their head sits wings, as well as along their back. These nighttime creatures don't have four wings, but they had to go all out, so fuck it mutated bat. The smell of honey faintly wafts past.

They shoot their mother a small smile, but their amber eyes are full of joy, fabric wings flapping pathetically at their sides. The prey ought to have been provided by them, but they could almost squash that worry as a handful of younger apprentices runspast, decked out in goofy attire. Puffing their chest out confidently, Windpaw swaggers to Littlewhisper's dreadful Vampire Lair, ear twitching with curiosity as a scream resonated off the cool, earthy walls.

"I'll make it through!" they boast to them, peering past the calico into the darkness. Thankfully, they haven't outgrown the underground mazes, but they had no tunneler's eyes. Fighting back their nerves and anticipation, they prepare to step in.​

 

[Moonshadow]

ALL THE KING'S HORSES​

---

Moonshadow would appear next, her costume appearing to be the same as Rune's and yet there were stark differences when one looked closer. The armor that adorned her frame seemed to be fitted to her, and upon her head was a crown not as dazzling as Sootstars, and yet eye-catching all the same, with fake sapphires that matched the former royalties eyes. The Shield Maiden had returned for this night, even if it was just for some fun she wore it with pride.

She would walk up beside her daughter, smiling down at Aspenpaw with all the pride that befitted a mother doting on her child, "Your costume is wonderful, Aspenpaw. You are quite the charming ghost." She would bend her head down and nuzzle her daughter's cheek before moving on and stopping beside Rune and Sootstar, nodding to Littlewhisper and Windpaw as well, "The costumes this year are wonderful, very well done." Turning to her son she would offer him a soft smile as she looked at his costume, wondering if his armor back home would have looked similar to this.
​

 

[SOOTSTAR]

Rune's costume was quite nice, Sootstar preferred things of more elegance for herself but she appreciated the armored costume nonetheless. Appears he was watching with his mother to an extent, cute. Despite all that, she appears to hesitate at the ask for a honey covered mouse, those were for the children... not a grown warrior. Yet Sootstar is feeling festive enough today that she doesn't give much of a fuss, she scoops a mouse up by the tail, the creature's dangling lower half practically oozing with honey.

She gently places it by Rune, "You can have one," she meows, talking more slower than she usually does thanks to the faux vampire teeth. "I want to make sure I have plenty for the young cats, the mice go fast every year I do this." She explains, but waves a tail to her other goodies. "With these though? Help yourself."

With Moonshadow now present, she once more gestures to her pile, "Would you like anything?"​

[spiritpaw]

Halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween, ITS HALLOWEEN!!! ITS SPIRITS FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!! She almost wants to jump for joy, but fear of her gown getting snagged would be abysmal. Shes adorned in a princess outfit... with a crown, and a sword strapped to her side, and theres wings that look much like a dragon if it were crudely drawn by a child with crayon (if one would look at her, they'd come up with an amalgamation of things she could be). She had begged so kindly for this costume, a fire-breathing dragon princess knight warrior AND you couldn't forget the crown, nuh uh, even if it was quite literally just made of paper mache. She almost barrels right past Soot at the call of pumpkins and scary tunnels, but she stops.

Eyes blink up at the moor queen, wide, because wow what a sight a vampire queen was! "HI MISS SOOT!" she cranes her neck and gives a big grin, even though she was the previously dubbed scary ghost leader to Spirit. "Trick or treat- gah, wait for me!" she calls back to Galeforce, with excitement brimming in her eyes. Shes practically vibrating at this point, these festivities were always so fun and shes so glad the clan participated in it.

"speech"​

[ｂｌａｃｋｐａｗ]

( ★ ) blackpaw loved halloween. especially when there were plenty of younger apprentices around to scare. was it really halloween without a little spook?
the young black and white tom was dressed in a sequined red devil costume with little red bat wings held up by wire inside. on his head was a matching horned headband and his tail a floppy little pointed devil tail; there was a second loop for it to be held up by a longer tail, but his fluffy stub could only fit the one at the base. to top it off he had a plastic pitchfork to carry, perfect for poking people from behind.
he trotted excitedly up to sootstar's pile of goods, looking at it with a perplexed expression for a moment as he tried to decide how he could pick something up and keep his pitchfork at the same time. after a moment he gave up on holding onto it and dropped it at his side to pick up a small thrush, deciding to leave the better grabs for those younger than him.
"thomeone apprethiate how thparkly i am" he spoke around the feathers stuck to his lips from trying to pluck the bird, sending a few flying with a shake of his head. as soon as he was done devouring this bird he was going to destroy that pumpkin competition.​

( DO I SOUND LIKE A JOKE WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU )

 

[Snowshadow]

"Turn A Deeper Blue"​

Dual hues widened with excitement as Sootstar allowed him one honey covered mouse, which he took happily of course with a quickl thank you to her. Rune tucked it alongside his other honey mice he may or may not have stolen from Dandelionwish. Then looked to Moonshadow approached with compliments about costumes, and he puffed up his chest rather proudly. Rune had made his costume by paw, he didn't have his actual armor anymore, so he was rather proud of his accomplishment. She looked pretty good herself in her own suit of armor and wondered if that was her armor from home or she too had to make her own.

Spiritpaw then came next for Sootstars' loot of treats and seemed rather excited about the event. Soon thereafter came Blackpaw, his words slurring together due to the feathers in his mouth and the tomcat couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the apprentice, "I for one do love the sparkle, Blackpaw," Rune mused to the apprentice with a swish of his feathery white tail, "The pitch fork is a rather good addition I might say," He grinned a bit, seeming more comfortable amongst the clan in that moment. How strange, to feel like he belonged already. ​
