It wasn't often the kami of Earth got to relax and take some time to enjoy the finer things in life. It was even more uncommon that she got the time to participate in anything considered ordinary in terms of recreation. Meditation was her go-to, and past that she usually kept to herself and her video games. Sometimes, people want a little more out of their lives. Even Jackie knew she eventually had to experience something outside her routine to be mentally healthy.
It was why the yearly costume party coming up in South Party of Halloween was timed perfectly with her realization. While she always enjoyed wearing the cheapo outfits that many of the stores had out at the time, this time she had a surprise tool to help her. The ability to mold and create clothing on a whim using her practiced magic. Was it cheating that she didn't put the actual fabric and ideas into handiwork? Maybe? It's not like a lot of folks could just make clothing like this.
"Big turnout this year, huh."
Granted, Jackie had missed the last three or so. The crowd surrounding the Coastal venue was packed with lots of noisy folks. Plenty of those who were there to watch the show rather than participate themselves. The sun was setting lower into the late afternoon with burning torches and multi-colored lights beginning to fill the nearby streets. She didn't ask for anyone to come partake with her, but she wouldn't mind seeing a friendly face here.
"Everyone! Please, come on in!"
The shouts of a man close by pierce the crowd with a megaphone. A stout, shorter man that the kami did not recognize from previous years. Must have been someone new. He quickly ushered anyone out front on the inside to enjoy the themed lobby and hallways leading into the main theatre. The noise of the crowd shifted inside and people in their groups formed little pockets of gossip. Meanwhile, Jackie ventured close to the offstage prep rooms where other people in costume would hang.
Something was... off about the air nearing the stage. Like a tingling in the back of the kami's mind. Jackie stopped herself in the middle of the hall to look out an exit stage door. She could feel it coming from center stage, where no one was present currently. Everyone involved was still doing prep work and gathering the crowds.
"Hmm."
