The Next Night Logs

PROMPT 001 ♡ HOW SWEET IT IS.
The first obstacle you'll face is the fact the spirits are feeling a little too sweet thanks to the generous mood in the air.

Approached by a spirit, you'll find yourself being offered a tray of suspiciously pretty confectionaries to passerby. Too pretty, you think, and further inspection will reveal why you should be right to wary of the cookies and cupcakes: Some of these sweets are actually made from painted cardboard, glue, paint, and glitter. No matter where you're from or who you are, eating this will not be good for your health.

If only the spirits understood that - They're aggressively generous, practically waving the 'sweets' under your nose and will clearly not stop until they see someone eat the offered sweets.

PROMPT 002 ♡ UNCHAINED MELODY.
Music seems to be playing a big part of the holidays, between Day blasting sappy dance pop songs from his tablet from where he'll usually be stationed out - that goofy grin of his showing he knows exactly what he's doing right now - and spirits dancing and singing along. It's almost charming.

What's not charming, arguably, are the groups of spirits scurrying around Beacon, cornering unfortunate individuals to be an audience to their singing of love songs. Well... It's less of them singing out love songs and more of them screaming out love songs. Screaming out love songs in their almost incomprehensible language, fuelled by the fact they're weirdly out of synch with one another because the fates seem to have it out for you today.

You'll need help getting out of this one, or quick thinking. The spirits will not allow you to leave anytime soon. They are relentless. They are aloud. They cannot be stopped until together you and they will break the chains of loooove.

PROMPT 003 ♡ IN YOUR EYES.
Due to their close relationship with Daylight, spirits know that his world's Valentine's is celebrated by its participants with one's face covered in symbols and marks in order to denote how one will be enjoying the holidays.

Wanting to make the holiday inclusive - and very excited to play with the face paint Day is happy to share with them, the fool - spirits have doodled marks and scribbles on their very own faces. Not only that but they are continuing their too-generous streak and can be found attempting to offer to paint others' faces - Whether they like it or not. It'll be a common sight to see some spirits running about, waving paint brushes and rags dipped in glittery face paint or, trying to spread the cheers by any means possible.

Paint WILL be lobbed at the faces of those who are attempting to escape the holiday mood!! Come back here!!

PROMPT 004 ♡ AT LAST.
When all is said and done, most of the spirits will dart back into the forests, clearly in high, ah, spirits after a successful day of what they thought was wholesome holiday celebrating!

But some spirits, who were raised with manners and still have them, end of the world or not, are lingering behind to help in the cleanup of the holiday's aftermath. Glitter is swept from the ground. Streamers are tugged down. Wrappers and ribbons are picked up and placed in sacks that the spirts have brought along.

The spirits are making good progress in tidying up but a little help could go a long way. Especially for the poor, smaller spirits who are struggling to tug around the sacks of designated wrapper trash.
