Halloween
All Hallows' Eve
The Feast of Candy
When Hell becomes a Trickster's Playground for the entire night!

It also happens to be Caliban's 21st birthday!

Well technically it's his 221st birthday but the timeframe between the number of decades and centuries of his actual aging process is so hellishly slow and 🤬 complicated to think about that for sanities sake, it's just his going to be classified as his 21st birthday.

It makes things simpler.

Aciano likes to tease that it saves the cooks from baking a humongous cake for all those candles.

Anywho...

Caliban woke up in time with the Hellish sunrise and immediately chose happiness as his go-to mood for the day!

Nothing could wipe that smile from his face as he dressed up for the day and went over the details in his head for the plans he had previously laid out with his family during last nights dinner.

Since it's his 21st he wanted to spend the day together with his girlfriend and best friend in Envy and finally get introduced to Amelia. Abet under a fake name and whatnot but he values Aciano enough to take the risk in meeting his best friends girlfriend—and properly give her HIS version of the shovel talk.

For the evening and the entire Halloween night he'll spend it back at home with his family.

Therefore he got out of bed, showered, dressed and continued smiling as he danced down the halls getting his Father's Vampiric Guards and the Ashen Guards of his Clansmen to either stop and smile, chuckle, or in the case for the forever silent Clansmen they'll simply move around as though they were dancing along with him in a strange bobbing motion as they glided down the halls.

Caliban's laughter over their strange, but endearing form of happiness was loud and boisterous as he slides down the railings of the stairs towards the dining room. He lands onto his feet only to find his Auntie Elizabeth leaning against the doorway to the dinning room with an unimpressed eyebrow arch. Elizabeth ultimately rolls her eyes and smiles as she opens the door for him.

"Happy birthday Caliban."

"Thanks Auntie."

He turned his head back into the dinning room and grinned broadly as he saw his parents sitting down in their chairs in front of a breakfast feast! Vlad was understandably fighting against sleep with coffee for the mere sake of wishing his son a happy birthday and the likely lecture of safety and not overly drinking in Envy now that he's old enough to drink. His mother was without her mask and smiling with tears in the corners of her eyes. In Caliban's mind her happy smiling just makes the scars on her face even more beautiful.

Aciano's in his sixteen year old form. He's leaning back against his chair with his feet adorned in his humorously cute butterfly slippers resting on the table. His chair is balancing on the two back legs as he grinned at his best freind/honorary brother figure.
