At a whim the Regent of Darkness has whisked you all from your jobs, schools, recreation, and daily life and has subsequently planted you right in the middle of the court yard in the grand foyer. The court yard is decorated as All Hallows Eve and the loads of demons present are more than enough to send lesser persons into a blind panic.
His great Chancellorship descends upon you as you stand in amazement from the teleportation, and your characters stand looking back at you as if they got shot in the foot to see you all at the office party.

Regent stands before the humans with a quirky smirk.
"Welcome honored guests to my humble abode. Please make yourselves as unnoticeable as possible. The guest list is complete with many who do not wish for human interaction. Save for the dipping sauce and bar-b-q pit. Your personal escorts are assembled and are your personal guardians and protectors for this evenings festivities..."
At that each of you receive a small gem of various colors. "As well as this. Keep this on your person at all times and with it you will appear to the outer guests as any other demon. For in their eyes, you shall be. Loose this trinket at your own peril, for you may find more attention than you desire from our native peoples."
Regent smiles as he sips his bloodwine.
"Now imagine your costumes and what demon you want to masquerade as... and so shall it be... for this night is all Hallows Eve and you shall never find a more suitable costume to completely take on the role than this anywhere."
He laughs a spirited chuckle as he returns to the festivities to mingle and enjoy the feast of interactions before him.

Thane stepes up to Karl and looks very uneasy. "Well hurry up... lest you want a huge scrap from us defending you, make up your mind and transform already."
Karl holds the gem in his fingers and is still dumbfounded at this unexpected turn of events. He thinks for a moment and he looks around at the other demons who luckily haven't noticed the humans yet. "Err, Yeah I see your point. Uhh... a Rachet Pe' Ri would be cool..."
Before he could change his mind, his body begins growing hair. In a New York minute he is transformed into a large, shaggy gray, horned werewolf with wings.
"Woah, that is awesome... you guys have got to try this..." Karl says looking at the others with his large yellow eyes. He feels his face with his hands... ah... paws and he laughs uncontrollably... "This is so cool..." as he turns in circles to look at his tail and wings.
Thane looks dismayed, "Would you stop that, you look like a pup chasing his own tail..." Thane says gruffly nudging Karl with his large paw.

Jess looks around in dazed wonder, dressed in her khakis, works shirt, and Krispy Kreme hat, complete with headset. With a scream of feedback she snaps the headphones off, but continues to stare around like an idiot.
Lysandor looks at her with something akin to a frown on his otherwise stoic face. "If you do not change soon, I will be forced to defend you from demonic attacks... I am sure you do not wish for me to... slip... and have you carried off by demons..."
"I smell like a donut," she whimpers softly. "They'd eat me..."
"Then I suggest you do as your Fallen says, human," Illyon sneers at her, sipping from his goblet of blood.
Jess sighs and grips her gem - irridescent black - and poof! Standing the same height and same build is a Devilish version of Jess. Her skin is the same irridescent darkling of her gem, and a pair of draconic wings are folded at her back. Her spaded tail swishes around behind her much like a cat's would when faced with danger. She only has one pair of horns, but they curl around her head and face - ram-like - and add to the curly short hair that frames her face. She looks down at herself, now wearing what appears to be a waist wrap and wrapped top in deep purple.
"I feel underdressed," she murmurs softly, then shrugs her shoulder, her tail twitching with the motion, and she looks behind herself and gawks at the spade before getting a truly wicked smile blossoming on her face. "Oh, I am going to have SO much fun with this!"

Becky is sitting cross-legged on the ground tossing her gem between her hands. Her powder blue tank top and pale green pj pants look markedly out of place.
"Hmm... this is tough...." Ere leans over her in her own Halloween costume of a blue fairy and grins.
"Oh come on, mortal. You've always wanted to be like me." She teases darkly, wiggling her fingers at Becky. Becky looks up thoughtfully and then squeezes her smooth trapiche emerald with a grin.
There's a brief blaze of light at around her and then Becky shakes back blue-green hair from skin gone even paler than normal and strangely iridescent. Black and teal-blue butterfly wings flick on her back, shedding a faint cloud of sparkles with each movement, tarnished silver decorates them and glints in the low light. A silky green dress that shifts and shines even in the low light pools around her where she sits.
"I think my costume is better than yours, Ere." She grins.

Karen held her bloody garnet colored gem in her hand for a second and winked at Ciel. "Hang on, honey cat. I gotta change."
Ciel rolled her eyes and tapped her foot. "Just hurry, kitten. They are all waiting."
Karen thought a minute and the light flowed out from around her. When the light went away, there stood a light gray Ratchet female. Ciel's eyes bugged out of her head for a minute.
Karen went to speak and her voice came out as a soft growl as she flexed her wings and shook her head to toss her hair. "I take it you don't like my outfit, honey cat."
Ciel did not talk. She merely stared.

Nyxereos stands with his arms folded and his stare fixed on Karl. Another silly festival. For what? he shakes his head -no- as he steps up to the rest of the demons and their humans.
"I do not wish to insight panic, however, you all are beginning to catch the attentions of the other guests."
He says rather mater of factually pointing with an open hand to several demons who are craning their heads to get a better look. They are becoming more interested in what is happening past the line of demons blocking their view of the humans.
"I suggest the rest of you make your decisions and transform with great haste."

Arianna stands arms folded taping her toes" if you don't make a hasty decision i shall have to hide you in a deminsional pocket lover"
lishia lookes troubled for a moment "this is alot harder than deciding on being a pumpkin patch or a penguin... oh well here it goes..
instantly she transforms into a fairy that could have been closely related to her companion with florescent pink and purple streaks in her blonde hair a short skirt and knee high platform boots with vynal wings to match " look jess just like i always imagined now all i need are my glow sticks and some techno!!"

Tre'Maya and Vetli showed up then, sharing a joke before they reached the group. She was smiling and she glided up to the group, fan in her hand. You all look interesting. Karen, I think your new look definitely suits you. Do you not think so, Thane?
She nodded to Regent and dropped a curtsey. Chancellor.
Vetli chuckled and flitted to Ciel's side. Might want to pick your jaw up off the floor, dearling. You'll let the flies in.

Thane smirks at Ciel and her reaction to Karen. "Yes indeed M'Lady Tre'Maya, Karen looks quite comely as one of us." He then laughs hard at Vetli's comment to Ciel to the point of tears and nearly choking.
Karl grins and lopes over to Karen and admires her fur and features. "Very cool. Want to catch a drink, I'm not sure if the foods available will be appetizing but the music is not so bad. I'd swear I can smell... everything, lets go check it out!" Karl holds out a furry arm for Karen to take and with a flap of his wings he bows a bit to her. He also can't stop grinning about his elation to the gems effects. This should be quite fun.

Regent watches with glee as the humans change form into their demonic counterparts. The choices of demon as well as the costumes are truly inspired. He realizes that even though becoming a demon is not the first choice for humanity, the fear of death will make them quite vulnerable to suggestion. Something he shall use for later.
"Come my guests, feast and delight in our moment of celebration. Rare has it become for us to get the chance to divulge such energy into pleasing celebration."

Jess tucks the stone in her top wrap, frowning slightly at the realization that in her excitement and haste, she forgot to add pockets to her costume. She meets Lys's stoic gaze and cocks her eyebrow at him.
"No one would take it from here," she says by way of explanation, then sticks her tongue out at him. "Least, no one should. And if they try, well, that's why you're here, isn't it?"
"You are trying my patience, human," he tells her laconically.
"I always try your patience, Lyssie," Jess teases as she saunters towards the party, feeling pretty damn good about herself at the moment with her Devilish features. "It's becaue you don't have any."
Lysandor shakes his head and follows, knowing that somehow, someway, this was all going to end badly.
Jess hops to Lishia and grins at her. "I'm sure we can find you some glowsticks... This IS Hell after all... Isn't it some kinda rule that glowsticks and techno come here?"

Illyon looks Jess's costume and appearance over as though he were thinking of adding her to his merchandise and selling her to the highest bidder. He falls into step behind the Devil-disguise human and disgruntled Fallen, though far enough that he could not be readily identified as being a part of the group.
"There was no reason for you to have worn such traditional attire, mortal," Illyon says to Jess, looking down at his goblet of bloodwine. "You will pull attention to yourself rather than avoid it... though, perhaps, this is what you wish..."
Jess, of course, ignores him - she didn't see his appraising look.

As captain of the Palace Guard, it's Tybalt's right to know about the masquarading humans and to have taken certain measures in ensuring the Regent's... interesting guests survive the night. He stands between them and the rest of the party, not looking particularly pleased, but then again, not looking exactly angry or annoyed either.
"If everyone's dressed and disguised, let's get this disas- er, I mean party," he says, correcting himself just in time... or not, as the case may be. "Right... it's a party. Anyway, let's just get this done and over with so that way any blood I have to clean out of my uniform won't have time to stain it."

Ciel's mouth snapped shut. She regained some of her composure and turned to walk beside the Regent. "She looks...lovely. I will admit. And it was her choice after all."
Karen smiled and took Karl's arm. "Sure, Hot Stuff. Why not? We've got some new threads, let's wear em out!"

Ereshkigal gives her counterpart a look that could shatter stone and then sticks her nose in the air and moves off to walk next to Karl and Karen.
"At least you two look presentable." She says a little huffily and then walks backwards in front of them. "More than actually. What do you think?"
Becky grins and gets up, brushing off her dress.
"Well I feel cool enough." She scoots around the outside edges of the group looking at this and that wide-eyed and every inch the tourist.

The Ambassador of the Leccubi gazes at the motley crowd around her with a faintly amused expression. She shakes her head at the "costumes" and glances at the demons around them and her smile grows slightly.

Jess keeps a good twenty feet between her and Becky at all times... and every so often, she glances at her and a shiver runs through her, all the way down to her spaded tail.
"Glitter...," she mutters under her breath. "Of all things... glitter!"
And shudders again.
Lysandor bows to Ere, Ciel, and Regent as he passes them, but doesn't pause long enough to speak with them. His mission tonight is one of constant, unwavering vigilence. He must somehow manage to keep Jess out of trouble in a demonic crowd. The Fallen doesn't know which is more likely - that Jess will stir up some form of mischief no one foresaw, or that she might well end up a permanent resident of Hell. On that thought, Lysandor gets between Illyon and Jess, and shoots him a look of mild annoyance.

Thane sighs under his breath but the look of exasperation floods his face. He shakes his great head -no- as he steps after Karl and Karen. He nods to Tre'Maya as she is as beautiful to him as ever.
"May I have the honor M'Lady? Allow me one tasteful duty this evening by being your escort."
Karl practically skips with Karen to the banquet. He flaps his wings with glee at the sights. "What do you suppose that is?" he says pointing at the huge mound on the center table.
