A gold-masked Sheik and his gold-masked Lady, both in black and gold finery, were present for the Trick or Treat event at the Arena. The Lady was there to indulge in a duel or more while the Sheik spectated from one of the skyboxes.

[Dakota Street]

Though it may not have been obvious off the bat (she couldn't find a deerstalker cap to save her life), Dakota dressed as one of the only private investigators on par with herself: Sherlock Holmes! She was also fortunate to be accompanied by her own Watson.

[BardGallant]

Dris and Rhys came as the famously gay duo Frog and Toad. Complete with the tandem bicycle.

[Faeryl Tsarran]

Having no idea what Halloween really was or that dressing in costume wasn't code word for ritualistic robes and sacrifice, Fae relied on the company she keeps and the internet to show her what a nurse costume should apparently look like for a woman.

[Szuzak Mos]

Szuzak came prepared for a spooky vampire outfit. He had been looking forward to the occasion and had no other choice than to play it close to the vest.

[Doppelgangster]

One (1) Watson-named-Em was as much date as accessory (she was okay with this) to the fabulous Holmes, and did a mostly terrible job at being stoic while also quick to admit she was, indeed, the muscle.

[Partly Cloudy]

After spending some time enjoying the haunt and horror movies at Pachinko Palace, Gatito and his friend and café manager, Zariyah, dropped by the Arena to enjoy the company of the duelists, as well as some of the cocktails and savory treats offered by the Wolves Den Bistro. They were dressed as genderbent versions of Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz.

Thoroughly wasted before he even got to try the fancy drinks on the menu, Jake made his way out to get his own prescription of free food filled at the Wolves Den Bistro after a little fighting fun with his fellow medical practitioner.

[Doran Ilnaren]

Doran showed up for a few matches dressed as humble "cowboy" Spike Spiegel.

[Ebon Ilnaren]

Ebon, meanwhile, emerged from the Arena offices dressed as a Dread Pirate Roberts!



To be specific, he was handing out business cards identifying himself.

I Am The Dread Pirate Roberts #8306.

Maggie was by with a gaggle of her costumed students from Dragon's Gate Dueling Sword and Harker's Academy.
