I can get Kagura out of the water, easy peasy. Any kind of competition will do it, so how about a costume competition? But the "mermaids" thing is your idea so I was hoping you'd write it.
In terms of things that I'm also not writing, I think I'm done on these three sections: Party Prep, Samhain, and Next Day. I might edit things together there, but I'm basically out of ideas. I still have some things to do in Acts II and III -- some of them in super-obvious yellow. But for everywhere else: See the blanks in there? I'm expecting you to write it.
In Act I, sending the invitations and setting up the decorations, I don't have a good idea what to write. (Best I could come up with: "Is it a Buffy Halloween party?" "Why does everyone ask that question?") We need a strong intro here because right now the entire first act feels disjointed. So maybe Ben, or perhaps our adjunct writers could take a stab here. Rob, linking text between some of your sections might help the flow.
Act II primarily needs input from me, but a little help wouldn't hurt. Describing a typical NPC house near Olmos Park might be helpful for me, if someone lives near the area, hint hint. But I can always Google Maps research.
Act III is actually pretty sparse considering it's the main point of the story. I don't have much to add here, as most of my ideas have been used up. (Unless someone is thinks a Kero-chan as Pikachu versus Arf fight would be timing appropriate.) But there are some unwritten ideas from others here that I could write, like having a costume contest. Rob needs to finish a battle scene. Ben needs to write more about his residents and give them some costumes, please. Dartz, can you get us something like a playlist -- 5 songs would be enough for flavor. A description of the stage and who's watching would be even better.
Act IV (which is just a header and part of III dramatically) needs someone who drinks alcohol to write a description of a people drinking themselves under the table. We have an open idea for a night with a 33 Star, if anyone wants to touch that sort of drama. And I should really read it better, I haven't done a single editing pass here.
Act V is all the way ready, and has been for months. Already made a minor change that is still a con, not a retcon. Moving on.
Act VI is actually pretty solid I think. But it's entirely Rob's and my writing, and heavily into mine. If anyone else wants to show their characters doing things, add it.
We're on a deadline here, people. Let's step up the game! To Infinity, and Beyond!
