Party!!!, Purposefully Creepy Mansion, Wednesday Evening

[newroutines]

It was Halloween, and after a long four-year break, it finally meant that there was a party at the mansion again. There were Jack O'Lanterns outside lighting the way to the house, and bat cut-outs and balloons in the shape of ghosts and skulls all around the house, and creepy looking candy on the snack table.

And a bloody goblin in the fridge. This time, it had a name tag identifying it as April, because Mike was a sentimental fool.

There were also way too many kind of jello shots. And too many versions of Monster Mash on the Spotify playlist for this party, but at least Mike had made a sign with instructions on how to find the playlist and add songs to it.

[ooc: OCD up! OPEN TO ALL! If you're an adult, you got an invitation! Happy Halloween and welcome to long overdue mansion party! ]

"I'll save the naughty for when it's just the two us."

His innuendo skills were kind of terrible, but at least his kissing was up to par?

[arboreal_priestess]

Yeah, but even terrible, it was working for her.

She drew out the kiss as long as she could while still being respectful of being in public - and then a little longer than that.

"Mmmm, sounds like you've got a fun evening of tricks and treats in store for us when we get home."

Errr, back to her apartment. Yeah.

"Yeah, I have no idea," Mike said, shaking his head. "Though, pretty sure the ad wasn't in our paper."

Which they definitely didn't have. Or, hadn't had, for years.

Mike was not going to try and repeat that name until he was slightly more sober.

"Well, hello and welcome, and please, help yourself," he said, holding the tray more towards Mitsutada. "I'm Mike. This is my house."

That was about how Octavia interpreted it, too. She knew nothing about her exactly screamed 'party'. Or even politely suggested it, really.

She reached for the jello shot, though. "I went to one of these last year," she said. "Still don't really get the point."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[okteiviakom]

Octavia just shrugged. "I don't know, it seemed easier than some of the other ones."

She didn't have any trauma associated with them, so she could just enjoy the ability to squirt the shot into your mouth.

"But I think they may just be a random thing. Among a bunch of other random things. There's a lot here that I didn't see when I went to one of these parties last year."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[okteiviakom]

It was a bit dramatic, but there were things she hadn't mentioned, like the prison stint and the entirety of her first sixteen years.

She raised a jello shot right on back.

"Oh! Those are jello shots." Which Karolina was not actually very familiar with, or at least hadn't been before this party. Though she'd heard about them before! "Just mostly alcohol and sugar, I guess."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[solarhippie]

"Pretty okay?" she said, her tone a question only to suggest a kind of shrugging quality without actually shrugging. "Me and my friends were good at escaping and hiding, so it worked out."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[puppy_fair]

"It's all pretty random," Zack agreed. "I mean, there seems to be a general theme of 'spooky things, probably,' but when you settle in and really pick it all apart, coming from the outside there's no real rhyme or reason to any of it."

He'd be baffled if anyone were to actually explain the origins of the holiday to him.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[imafuturist]

Well, yes. But that was meant for bad people.

"And you have a recipe for success."

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[whatdattonguedotho]

"Yeah, that happen a lot?" Eddie asked, inhaling deeply like this was all waaaay out if his admittedly pretty weird league.

Beau snagged another jello shot -- her third so far, and she was going to . . . well, not regret this in the morning, but she'd definitely be feeling it. "They're like amazing. This whole place is like crazy but in a good way, you know?"

Re: Dark and Shadowy Corners [Halloween 2018]

[firstofitskind]

"The one where a bunch of people had turned in to strange creatures?" Liam said, making a face. Because he'd been there too. As a weird sort-of vampire.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

"Hopefully not too sharp, I'd hate to poke someone with this crest," Mitsutada said with a chuckle.

"...are you wearing a costume?" he added, after a pause.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[battlewithstyle]

"Thank you for the invitation," Mitsutada said. "You certainly have an impressive home, and an impressive eye for decor as well. You should be proud."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[throughaphase]

"I'm really looking forward to that stuff," she admitted. "Though Jack mentioned a time people turned into their costumes so there will be strict, adorable guidelines, because I don't need a monster baby."

"You are the worst," Steve proclaimed, clearly not meaning a word of it.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[heroic_jawline]

"And how everything is distinctive?" Steve added, grinning.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[heroic_jawline]

"He does have really good legs," Steve admitted.

He was taken, he wasn't dead. "And it's not really about putting too much effort in, it's about having fun. At least this year we didn't turn into our costumes?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[imafuturist]

"You love me," Tony replied in a little sing-song.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[heroic_jawline]

"You were hiding from Tony?" Steve asked.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[heroic_jawline]

"I have terrible taste," Steve teased, giving Tony a smacking kiss on the cheek.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[imafuturist]

"The absolute worst," Tony agreed, turning his head to kiss him back. "Lucky me."

Éponine grimaced. "Yes, and aren't I glad I missed out on that one! I'd have decided to dress as something awful, if I had, and wouldn't that just be my luck! I don't think I'd have minded being a rabbit for a while. Unless someone tried to eat me."
