DMC Questions Anon here!
Halloween is upon us. How do you think the characters would celebrate? Who enjoys Halloween the most? What would they dress up as?
So, I don't think most of the characters celebrate Halloween. Trish and Lady might have been to some parties in the past, and Lady might have enjoyed it when she was young.
The twins might have? When they were really little? Sparda might've thought it was a fun silly human thing. But after that day? Nah.
Somehow I can't see Fortuna celebrating Halloween.
However! I think Nico and Patty both would love it! Nico seems like the type to go all out decorating her house in order to scare trick-or-treaters. She'd probably have five of those Home Depot skeletons.
As for Patty, I already made a post about her forcing Dante to go trick-or-treating with her. And I say "force" but Dante wouldn't go if he truly didn't want to. Assuming Halloween has any bearing on demonic activity, he might want to accompany her so he can make sure she has her fun and gets home safe. Patty is kind of a demon magnet, after all. I just like this idea that even though Patty has seen some truly horrifying things, she still retains this sort of innocence about her. Yeah she knows what real demons look like, but Halloween is fun!

A Talk, A Trade, A Trick-deal Made || Pt 1 || Proposal
The Hive network warbled as Immaru considered his reply. A guardian had reached out, actually reached out through his own network to try and reach a deal. It rackled his shell knowing the Guardians had been able to hack it in the first place, but this one... this one was wanting to talk-- arrogant little pinprick.
"Heh, I don't know if this is or isn't the biggest act of stupidity I've ever seen a guardian do,” he began smugly, “openin’ comms and revealing your position like we ain’t gonna jump on yeh the first chance we get.”
“Do it,” Echo challenged. “I’m in no hurry and I’ve got plenty of space to bubble some more of your buddies. It’s just up to you how many you want to send to hang around in my vault.”
“Why you cocky little—“
“Would you rather I squish ‘em?” Echo asked, interrupting the ghost. “I can do that. I don’t want to but I can.”
Immaru gave a soft growl, the click of his shell audible as he gyrated it. “How did you get this channel?” He snarled, flexing his shell. “Non a’ you bums run dirty enough teh get in.”
“Doesn’t matter,” the Exo said flippantly. “What matters is I want to talk with your boss about ending this war.”
“Ending it?” Immaru asked incredulously, “what, can’t finish a fight you started? Can’t end a war you brought in?”
“Savathun started this war before she was risen,” Echo snapped back. “And now that she’s risen, she can end it too.”
“What, you think we’re dumb enough teh let you in after what you and your vanguard buddies have been doing in the Throne World? How stupid d’you think we are?”
Echo said sternly. "It's only stupid if you see what's going on as a chess or go game with us on opposite sides. But if you look at the big scheme of things, we're not."
Immaru snorted. "Huh! Guardians comin' into Savathun's throne world, takin' out our forces? Sounds like we're on opposite sides t'me."
"Because that's how it was set up," Echo countered, gesturing even though no one could see. "By setting us Guardians to blunder our way through, your Savathun gets Imbaru from us getting things wrong and then doubting what we get right."
Immaru flicked his shell irritatedly. "You're stating stuff we already know. Get to the point already."
"Sav wanted Imbaru to boost her power right? Get her ready for us. But from what I see, it’s a losing battle and you guys are on the short end.”
“So what, you call me up just teh brag in my face about it? Tch, you guardians are all alike. I’m signin’ off.”
“Hold on,” Echo interrupted, “you’re right, some want to beat you to a pulp. But I want to end the conflict between the Lucent Brood and the Vanguard, and I want to do it without putting you down.”
The line went silent.
Immaru had been expecting a lot of things. That wasn't one of them.
"End the Conflict, huh?" he repeated, gyrating his shell. "What makes you think you can do it? What, you gonna wave your hand at your vanguard, tell 'em ‘these aren't the ghosts they're lookin' for’ and move on like nothin' happened? Like you guardians ain't got the dust of us ghosts all over yer hands."
Echo's fists clenched. She could hear the barely constrained ire in the ghost's voice, the resentment boiling in his voice. Resentment she shared...
"Because I'm one of the only guardians who've spared any of your hive ghosts," she answered fiercely. "If I can find a way to fight them without killing them, then I can find a way to make peace between the Vanguard and the Lucent."
“Heh, that’s a tall order, glitter bug,” Immaru remarked. “You sure you can deliver?”
“Only one way to find out,” Echo said staunchly.
Immaru and the Witch Queen glanced at each other, Immaru to gauge his Risen's reaction and Savathun out of habit and interest. A Lightbearer willing to barter for peace. A pitfall Oryx fell into but nonetheless intriguing.
"Alright," Savathun said, her voice like rough spiderwebs over the comms. "Come to the Altars of Truth, guardian. We'll discuss more about your proposal there."
With that, the line closed, leaving the hunter standing in her hidden cavern. Whisper materialized in the open air, her eye fixed on her risen.
"This is a trap," she said, trying hard not to bark her words. "This is a trap and we know it."
"Well, she wouldn’t come out if wasn’t," Echo said, slipping off her bubble glove.
"But you can't reason with the hive," the ghost pressed. "They grow by killing, and not just for food or supplies, but just for the sake of killing. And you’re waking into the claws of the most dangerous one out there!”
Echo paused and looked up at her ghost. “I know,” she said heavily. “But if we’re to survive what the Witness is going to do, we need all Lights on deck and we don’t have time to wait for Savathun’s brood to figure their way out of their personal dark ages. We have to help them. And if we can get a treaty between the Lucent and the Vanguard, then that’s one less battlefront we need to worry about.”
“But she—“ Whisper stopped as her risen gave her a look and hovered, jittering her shell. “You’re really serious about this,” she said in a hushed tone. “Even if she kills you…”
Echo frowned and nodded solemnly. “If she kills me, then the Young Wolf will be able to bring her down like they did Oryx and Crota. But if this works, then we’ll have an ally at best and a dubious neutral at worst. Either way… I can’t stand aside and keep watching Ghosts die. I have to try.”
Whisper gazed at her guardian searchingly, hoping, and let her shell droop when she saw her resolve. “Okay. Okay Echo. But if they hurt you, I’m eating Immaru.”
Echo gave a laugh as Whisper stored her bubble gauntlet. “Then let’s hope they don’t hurt me!” She laughed and made her way out.
