The Treat Loot Circle! 2023

[Gelquie]

As the neighborhood transforms, so too does Suspicious Meeting Park in the center of it all. A park within a park, there is a grassy circle with a circle of stones to serve as seats, a smaller circle of rocks for a small campfire in the middle, and decent lighting from above. (Though one light is ominously flickering at narratively convenient moments; maintenance has been notified.)

There is a hastily constructed sign not from from the real park sign. The hastily constructed sign reads:

"TREAT LOOT CIRCLE

Come one come all! Show and gloat of the treats you've gained! Bemoan what you've lost! Greet each other as you rest between houses! Regale each other with stories of not-far-off villas! Break the space-time continuum to take a break from a house! Comment on the distinct lack of sparkly vampires! All as you please! So long as you do not cause harm or house-y shenanigans within this circle, as enforced by the magic modly ward!

Chat away!
_{Chet Flash wuz here"}


((This place is not a house, but an in-between point for ToT Discussion, or to serve as an index for your goods and your happenings, what houses you've visited, etc. Spacetime is loose here, so you can show up whenever, so long as this space is not used to unfairly influence any ToT house rules and guidelines.

You can show off goods you've gained from a house that isn't technically a treat, so long as the house owner has permitted your taking of the 'treat'!

More technical guidelines may be added as needed.

Alright, index or chat away!))

Need to pick a character and/or a costume.

Kind of tempted to pick Jess and Taffy again, but I did that a different year already. Hm...

Nothing wrong with repeats if that's what you can manage!

Also, just wanna give a couple quick shout-outs.
Downrightdude/Snaw, the fashion week thread is a really fun idea and really encouraged me to think more about my costume, and find a good way to introduce it! Previously I relegated my costume to a one-liner per thread so that I wouldn't take up too much description. But here I could go all out with the descriptions. I think that was really cool and helpful! So shout out for that.

(Maybe in the future we could have a sort of dedicated costume thread for each year so that people can show off. (Unless you want to do the fashion show thread every year. Probably not. xP ))

And Lizica, that's a really fun idea to do writing- and word-related sidequests! I'd have taken more, but since they're one per person, I don't want to hog them. xD A fun bit of edutainment and finding a way to creatively work the words or prompts in! The rhyming one I think worked pretty well for my costume introduction on Snaw's thread.

So I went to those two threads first so I could sort of introduce myself and get a quest in order, but the other houses are down the line!

Aw, thanks for this, Gelquie! I hope people will have some fun with them. ^^ (Also, some great rhymes there. 8D)

On a different ToT topic, I've been feeling so blank about a costume. xD I suppose it's okay if I just focus on my own house and RL stuff this year, but hmmm...

Also aha, accidentally ending up doing more research tonight than I expected at the outset thanks to my edumacational ToT creature. xP
