COSTUME
Dark cloth, a hood, soft shoes. The face can stay visible. Stealth is a game.

NIGHT 28 OF 31
Night challenges, quiet, then a loud supper because quiet makes people hungry.
Dark cloth, a hood, soft shoes. The face can stay visible. Stealth is a game.
A red cord belt. Smoke that is flour in a puff, used once, outside.
Lanterns hung low to make shadow. Ropes at knee height marked so no one trips.
Night challenges, quiet, then a loud supper because quiet makes people hungry.
Rice balls, pickles, grilled skewers, oranges.
Green tea, then something sweet when the tea feels like homework.
Woodblock, then a song with no woodblock so people can talk.
Cross the yard on the marked path without being pointed at. If you are pointed at, you bow and join the pointers.
The stealth ends at the food. Hoods down to eat.
Flour smoke once, a small cloud, then done. Not a fight.
OF THIS OCTOBER
Nia is seen immediately and bows like it was the plan. It becomes the plan. Of this October.
EVENTS
A FRAME, IF YOU WANT ONE
You in a dark hood and red cord among low lanterns at a mountain festival, playful stealth, no weapons drawn, no text.
STALL
Dark, lined, a costume that becomes a hat in wind.
