Pidge was out very last second to get her costume. Nightmare Night was just hours away and so far she was still just going as "Pidge". Going from store to store she searched for the one specific costume she had in mind. It wasn't a specific costume so to speak, but rather a specific idea for a costume. She wanted to be extra - and risk potentially upsetting some ponies - but it was all worth it for Nightmare Night! Rummaging through a box of older costumes that were on sale and the last of their stock, Pidge finally found what she was looking for - the perfect costume for her: a King Sombra costume. And not only that; it was a perfect fit! Feeling relieved and excited she grabbed the costume, paid for it at the counter and hurried home to prepare for the night's festivities. .

*she chuckles at that* We’ll be right here to comfort them if they do, huh?

Acry had eventually filled out her saddlebags with safely wrapped hoards of sweets and cookies, enough to last her for weeks!... Hopefully. She was now enjoying herself at some of the Nightmare Night themed booths, Acry was mainly interested in the games and was happily jumping from activity to activity, and she also found herself checking out some of the more unique and spooky outfits around her, she was certain to find plenty of artistic inspiration!

Acry was not alone in her mission to collect as many treats as possible. Of course, the foals all around were excited, but most of the older ponies were here to supervise or mainly enjoy the attractions. Acry would get to them in time, for now, the rainy-day savings in her bit purse were about to get lighter. She would have sweets to enjoy for days! Her eyes were especially drawn by some large, fresh cookies that were coated in thick decorative icing to make them look like cartoony spiders and monsters, she just had to have one!

Xerox had liked Nightmare Night as a concept, but felt that the actual festivities lacked the flair he imagined. He hadn't been introduced to Nightmare Night until later in his life, due to the sheltered lifestyle he was forced into. As a changeling, he could easily scare ponies by transforming into fantastical creatures. As he ambled behind structures around the carnival, he saw children enjoying the night. As well as adults joining in on the fun, he took a deep breath. Trying his best to be calm, he transformed into a large creature of his own design. A large, scaly creature, with a menacing maw of teeth. It lacked regular limbs, having instead legs similar to a centipede's, though less prehensile. Xerox crawled carefully toward the town, in hopes to join in, to make this year more memorable.

"Whoo boy weren't the last two minutes of my life confusing as fuck. Going to go home now. Hope the rest of you have a good night".

*Weeeeelllllll, he was running off until he was knocked back over by Lily, who was in her super hero costume! She licks his face as she bowls him over landing on top of him, and yipping happily!*

Logan had gone to visit the carnival as he was in a Wonderbolt costume that seemed to be homemade although it seems making outfits wasn't a particular skill he had. He went mostly alone while his mom stayed home to take care of his little brother, he wanders around the carnival amazed at it as he plays a few of the games enjoying the experience as well as any candy he got. He was currently looking for any events or attractions going on

Suddenly, Comp disappeared from the ground and ended up behind Unikitty, pushing her away from Derpycomp. "What do you think you're doing? Only can screw with him!"

Hmmm... *she ponders...* Hoow about some carnival games?

Carmine wasn’t usually a fan of such a holiday- or any holiday, for that matter, but even he couldn’t deny the little kid inside of him that was eager to see what all the fuss for this carnival was about. If it was a flop, at least he had his chance at scoring some candy while he was out. He noticed that his choice of costume was... unique. Perhaps a little, if not very, unlike the groups of ghouls, skeletons and ghosts. No, his costume was an inflatable sunglasses emoji. The red stallion even completed the look by wearing a pair of sunglasses himself. Thankfully, the sunglasses had a secondary purpose: to hide the shame he felt after seeing the other fantastic costumes worn by the others. At least there was candy.

Acry hadn't had much of a chance to celebrate Nightmare Night before, not even as a foal, so she jumped at the chance to enjoy it now. She didn't really have a costume, but she had her art supplies, and some inspiration from a movie she watched with Ray. So now here she was, trotting into the Carnival with a ragged blue ribbon tied over her forehead and around the back of her head into a bow, if anyone asked what she was, Acry would have a chance to spook someone, and she was quite excited by the idea! The little mare glanced up and all around, taking in everything, her smile growing, as soon as she spotted the sweets she excitedly rushed over. It was already looking to be a wonderful evening!

DragonFly would have just gotten to the carnival to see what it was all about. Back at home they celebrated a similar holiday for a whole two Equestrian months and would dress up as their own fears and scare each other. Being that Nightmare night and the holiday he called Vonari Solol were somewhat similar and within almost the same time confused him since the two civilizations were billions of light years away from each other. Naturally he wanted to investigate and see how it was celebrated in detail and how much it actually meant to ponies here. Dragon however didn't know how to deal with crowds whatsoever and was just standing near the entrance trying to think of something to do or waiting for someone to approach him, which to him was normal because of his own and several other alien cultures, blah blah, he was nervous and had severe anxiety when in crowds and always needed to be with someone.

Neon was in her evil queen costume. Her three foals wandering around. Their bodies completely covered in pumpkin costumes. The only foal not wandering around was Cornflake who was upside down and struggling with his hooves flailing in the air. Neon sighed and helped him on his hooves where he ran off

"Shall we go have fun with the games and what not?"

She really hadn't felt like investing in a full outfit, and just had recycled her sexy cabaret dress from her night of fun with Ly a while back, accentuated by pure black lipstick and eyeliner, with some red eyeshadow. She's transporting her soon-to-be-hyped-up-on-sugar daughter on her back and trailing Liath with her, ready to spoil the Marish stallion with his first Nightmare Night. And herself with enough sweets to put her into a coma. It's time.

He tilted his head in confusion. "What did I do to mess with you?"

Mmmmhhhmmm, he thought I was an alligator the first time we met. *she chuckles, and nudges Cornflake back onto his legs*

Starlight Notices a stallion, standing in front of the entrance and is debating if she should say something or just let it go.

The night sky sparkled with the shine of glimmering stars overhead as a soft and chilly breeze swept through the atmosphere. The evening was young, and the last rays of orange sunshine were barely visible as they disappeared below the horizon. Nightmare Night was here. Above the sound of chilling wind arose waves of glee and frightful screams. In the center of town, a carnival had just begun to take place in order to celebrate the very special occasion of spooky sights and monster bites. Ponies dressed in all sorts of creepy and fun costumes pranced around in their own fright filled wonderland, aiming to receive as many prizes and candy they could. The creepy carnival was decorated with pumpkins and ghosts, spiders and bats, skeletons and zombies! Various games, booths, and attractions littered the grounds with ponies of all ages gathered around. Shrieks of terror could be heard coming from the haunted house. Giggles and chatter came from the various contests and game booths spread out along the grounds. Various hoofsteps and startled cries echoed from inside the miniature corn maze. The night of tricks and treats was making its own chilling debut as the air filled with howling and laughter on this Nightmare Night.
