[F28 - EV] Trick-or-Treats & Hoofbeats

[Lessa 1]

It didn't take much to decorate the Farm for Halloween. The other 364 days of the year, the ambient sound on her costal property was enough to send a shiver up a spin: the steady crashing of the waves on the rocks, the whisper of the wind through the dried cornstalks, the mournful cry of the foghorn. The old barn, with its shadowy hayloft and dusty sweat smell certainly didn't help matters. Set out a few jack-o-lanterns, and rig a stereo to play spooky music, and Lessa had the makings for an extra creepy stop on the the trick-or-treat trail.

The truth was, Lessa wasn't actually into the scary stuff - at least, not the manufactured kind. She hated jump-scares, didn't really see the appeal of gore, and detested that weird state of anxiety that Halloween always seemed to put her in. If she wanted horror, she could just reflect on her first year in Aincrad. Halloween certainly ranked near the bottom of her "favorite holidays" list. But the rest of Aincrad, and most importantly, her friends, didn't seem to share her dislike of all things dark.

Which was why she stood on her front porch, her hands on her hips, her fedora pulled low over her eyes. She could tough it out for one night, especially if she incorporated elements that she enjoyed. A bonfire crackled pleasantly between the barn and the house, its flames sending shadows dancing across the dark lighthouse tower. A table stood beside it, loaded down with s'mores supplies, candy, and a crockpot of caramel apple cider. 

Oh, and horses.

Half a dozen horses stood patiently along the fence, each tacked and ready for their riders. Anyone brave enough to swing up into the saddle could explore the moon-drenched forest-trails, race across the nearby Thessacoln Pastures, or simply be led around the pasture (no shame in that).

Was there too much for a simple trick-or-treating stop? Probably. But if Lessa expected people to walk all the way to the coast to visit her, the least she could do was give them a good time. Adjusting the coiled whip that hung from her belt, she sat down on her stoop.

Welcome to The Farm! 

Feel free to take a horse out at your leisure - just treat them well, and try to return them by the end of the night.

Take any creative liberties with color/name/personality/etc.

You're welcome to ask Lessa for help with the horses at any time.

Have fun!
