HelpAmara L's Halloween Congrats round #1 (sign-ups allowed)
ROUND 0: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4168312
Hi guys, and welcome to my Halloween congrats. Sign-ups are still welcome, and the sign-up form and information is available at the link above. Just post here and I'll give you your first arrival as soon as possible and you're good to go. To those who have already joined, I'm sorry for the delay in getting this up, as my internet went down yesterday for pretty much...well...until now. Let's hope that doesn't happen again. Rules are as before:
"While this is somewhat plot based, the nature of your writing it up to you. Paragraphs, sentences, notes and bullet points are accepted, in whichever grammatical person or style you wish. The plot will be given in 3-5 bullet plot points each round. This Congrats is set in an AU where zombies, ghouls, witches, warlocks, pumpkin-headed headless horsemen, werewolves and the rest of the Halloween staple cast are presumably as common as a...common thing... but beyond that, I don't want to set any limits. You can create as much of a narrative about this world your respective families live in as you like, and I invite you in the absence of a central Congrats setting to be as creative and wacky or as realistic as you like.
It should be noted that this Congrats will be fantasy / mild-horror / Halloween themed. It might not be to all tastes. While the plots might centre around being bitten by a werewolf, for example, I don't think this will be a problem. However, if in your respective plots you wish to go into more horror and graphic realms, bear in mind the rules of the forum, and mark your replies as being of the more mature variety. I'm pretty sure we won't have any problems and that this goes without saying, but I thought I should say this anyway. If you aren't a horror aficionado, please don't be put off as many of the plot lines will be more fantasy and light-hearted horror. Plotwise, I will try to accommodate everyone's tastes and given the free reign in the setting, you can really do as you like."
"*Please replace SO in your form with DH/DW/Bf/Gf/etc respectively. Also replace the species with the given species. This saves copy-pasting time for me.
* Ages are allowed, but I won't keep up with them for you.
* Dukes, duchesses, counts and countesses and other minor nobility are allowed, but please give the respective titles. High up monarchy is not allowed, but if you want a Count Vlad rambling around a ruined old castle, by all means..."

AND SO THE TERRIBLE TALE
You each have one new arrival. Congratulations! The species your child may be this round are human and wizarding human (witch/warlock/sorcerer etc). Take to mind the species of your couple, and that the species of the child might not be evident. It's entirely up to you. If you want a human couple to have a baby witch, or visa versa, it's allowed, but worth explaining. Plot points to consider:
#1: The lead-up. How are your couple feeling about having a baby? Are they worried? Why? Are they looking forward to it? And so forth.
#2: The arrival. What is your new arrival like? What species is s/he, how does s/he look, and how is the family reacting to it?
#3: One of your couple is facing difficulty. Either A) As a magic using human, they are having difficulty using their gift after their child's birth. Why? Are they worried that their child will not inherit their gift, or is that a good thing or not a concern at all? B) As a non-magic user, they are worried that their child may have magical abilities. What does this signify? How will they cope? (If you have two human couples, choose one or both to have this anxiety. If you have a wizarding couple, likewise)
If you are keeping up with ages, please add 1-3 years to your preexisting family
