All Entities Eve

All Entities Eve is a holiday that is celebrated throughout all of New Crunk City. It is celebrated every second Tuesday of October, and is a day in which for whatever reasons numerous entities from District 12 begin to wander about the rest of the city, and along the way create mayhem and large amounts of property damage.

Generally, All Entities Eve is a lighthearted holiday when celebrated responsibly, but can become quite rowdy very quickly and even dangerous towards nightfall. NCC Police recommend people start heading home before 1PM and staying inside until the next day. Thankfully, it is incredibly rare for an entity to enter someone's home unprovoked, and it is considered safe to be inside a home during all hours of the holiday.

Once it reaches 12 AM on Wednesday, all entities will begin heading back for District 12, and will cease any destructive behaviors.

## History

The history of All Entities Eve is very old, and has no clear origin. The area where District 12 is located has always had entities naturally occurring in it, and the people who lived there had many local holidays and traditions to celebrate this unique phenomenon, but they never spread beyond the district itself.

It was only after the Crunch that the District 12 entities started to change their behavior, wandering around the city on every second Tuesday of October, and creating such havoc that a holiday to observe the amusing antics of the entities was born.

## All Entities Eve

On All Entities Eve, starting precisely at 12:00 AM, entities are no longer confined within District 12 for currently unknown reasons. At first, only a few will venture out of the district, but as the day goes on, more and more will join them. In the early part of the day, from 12AM to around 1PM, there is a noticeable number of entities throughout the city, and it would be difficult to walk around without encountering at least a few of them. These entities are usually calm and indifferent. They are affectionately called “The Morning Drifters”.

The Morning Drifters tend to be friendly, often having normal shapes but still varying in forms. They will inevitably cause some minor property damage while exploring the city, but it does not seem intentional. Mostly, they seem to keep to themselves and in some cases are really fun to hang out with and some people specifically look forward to seeing "The Regulars" each year at these hours. From about 1PM to 5PM, things start to change a bit. This period is commonly known as “The Afternoon Rush”, and it is exactly what it sounds like. Around this time, more and more entities flood into the city, to a degree that some people find astonishing. If one is out at this hour, it would seem like the regular crowds of people have been replaced by bizarre and strange entities, who are more reckless in their actions. While this period is generally considered the time when one should head home, there are some who enjoy partying at this time and mingling with the more unique and wacky entities, though never far from a place to stay once it gets to 5PM.

From about 5PM to 12AM, things take a serious turn, and this is the time when one needs to get inside quickly if they are not already. Even more entities pour into the streets, and among them are some with more malicious intents. The sheer amount of entities moving throughout the city overwhelms all police resources, and they are reserved for the most urgent needs, and this will only worsen as it gets later. At these hours All Entities Eve transforms from a relatively safe and fun holiday to a real threat to civilian safety outside. It is at these hours that all the most notorious events in past All Entities Eves have occurred, such as the capital building being turned blue or a huge bite being taken out of the statue of Mayor Winkledon. While no specific drive or motive can be attributed to the entities during the holiday, there are some that genuinely wish to cause wacky mayhem, and will do so at the expense of anyone or anything in their way.

## Traditions

Traditionally, on All Entities Eve people throw a block party in their neighborhood and celebrate outdoors like any other holiday. They usually wait for their favorite “regulars” to show up and entertain them with their antics. Then, usually planned in advance, one person hosts a big party for their friends and family to gather inside and continue to celebrate, and especially look forward to the 6 o’clock news broadcasts for the amusing mayhem reported throughout the city.

Typically, it is a group effort to board up the doors for the night (not because of a risk of an entity breaking in, but because broken glass or shards of door can injure people).
