The Bonfire: Official Event Thread

Amber watched in amazement as Arach transitioned from her tiny spider form to her much taller human form. She stood there, her many eyes ogled Arach's pleasing new form. She wasn't as cute as before but she was pretty! She couldn't help but compare her to own mother Pandora as the both of them are both spider demons but their abilities and appear do seem to differ considerably.

"Whoaaaa! Your human form is pretty Miss Arach!" blurted out Amber, still trying to get over how gorgeous she looks "But yeah! Sure! Okey! I'd would love to join you Miss Arach but first... do you want to see MY human form?"

Regardless of their answer, Amber clenched her fist and closed all of her eyes, concentrating on the thought of taking on a more humanoid appearance. After a few moments passed, Amber's large spider-like body appears to have grown smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely under her skirt while her pedipals in the front of her body grow into legs and feet with a purple/black chitin protecting the lower parts of her legs still. Overall, aside from losing her spider-like lower half and having more human-like legs, Amber's appearance remains largely unchanged.

"Ta-da whoaaa!" cheered Amber before she quickly lost her balance and reached out to Chloe for support.

Live had tried to summon the dead before but she had found that it was not something her abilities allowed her to accomplish. She had seen ghosts on occasion but that was because of cursed eyes, not a usual part of her powers, and being in areas that were already inhabited by ghosts.

Usually the young Shadow Walker avoided events that drew large crowds and were centered around celebrating and being happy. But Live had heard stories about Carpe Noctem and the bonfire deep in the woods. Stories about people seeing dead relatives and friends in the woods. She wanted to investigate for herself.

She had shadow traveled to the clearing and brought her form back to human as she entered the open space. She didn't see anyone she recognized immediately so she moved closer to the fire, an area where less people were gathered at the moment.

There was one woman there, her head buried in her hands, clearly crying. This made Live feel awkward but somehow less so than the other people who seemed to be smiling and having a good time. She sat down on the ground a few feet from them.

The girl, dressed in black, stared into the flames. After a few minutes she would look up to the woods as if searching for something, and then return her gaze to the fire.
