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! ]

She wasn't... too wrong? Honestly.

"You should read up on GMOs and that stuff," Eddie suggested, totally planning to help this poor, poor, escapee of a weird religious cult.

"I love this plan," Tony replied. "This is the best plan ever in all the history of plans.

"Do I even want to know what that is?"

Or would it go the way of 'capitalism', in that it would be rage-inducing?

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[whatdattonguedotho]

Yessss. Join his journalistic rage against big business and the government!

"You totally do want to know," he replied seriously. Because you probably eat them.

Do human counts as that?

"Humans aren't GMO's. Kinda."

That last part probably sounded weird apropos of nothing. But it left Venom humming thoughtfully in the back of Eddie's brain at least.

[okteiviakom]

Yeah, it did sound weird.

"Okay," she said, in that way that you said 'okay' when someone said something that you couldn't really figure out. So, kinda slow and mildly confused.

"I'll get you some books on it if you want." And maybe some articles at... the newspaper. He was still hoping it would be normal there come Monday.

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[okteiviakom]

It wasn't going to be normal there. It just wasn't. Welcome to Fandom.

"Sure," she said, shaking off that mildly weirded-out feelings. Her attention span was a little shorter than usual right now, anyway. "I prefer books to the internet, anyway."

Which was probably another thing that a cult escapee might say.

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[whatdattonguedotho]

Which was totally why he offered it.

"Yeah, come by the paper sometime next week."

"Syringes are such a weird way to drink things," Zack noted, eyeing them. Maybe kind of keeping his distance from them.

No reason.

"Must be some other weird part of the holiday."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

"I can effecitvely wield six at a time," Zack offered, smiling faintly. "Which is... a lot. And some people link their slots together, but I don't need to do that to get the effects of different materia to play nicely."

A pause, and then he explained, "It isn't something everyone can do, but I can actually take two materia and merge them to make an entirely new one. Which is useful when you've been out adventuring and you have a million blizzards or something."

"The paper?"

Look, she would've known what a newspaper was and where its office was located if they'd actually had one during the year she'd been here.

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[whatdattonguedotho]

It had been there the whole time, but the thing about those dear is that they were too busy writing to publish.

Weird, right?

"Yeah, I'm working at the paper here Fandom Gazette? Does no one know it?"

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[okteiviakom]

Octavia shrugged. "I haven't heard of it, but I don't know if that's saying much."

"Well, that is a ringing endorsement," Mitsutada said with a chuckle. He reached a gloved hand for one. "May I? I'm Mitsutada, by the way. Mitsutada Shokudaikiri."

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[whatdattonguedotho]

"Well, come by anyway." AND PROVE HE WASN'T NUTS MAYBE?

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[gobrookeyourself]

"Okay, then that works out," Brooke said. "Then good, I'm glad you found someone."

Yes, it was dependent on him being cool with her.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[so_hawkward]

"That would have involved considering my costume ahead of time, and I've been a little busy." Did he look stressed as he glanced over at Kitty? He might have been a little stressed these days. "I'll consider it for next time though."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[died8yearsago]

Space.

Of course it was space.

"How long ago was that?"

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[gobrookeyourself]

You know what word Brooke looked? Exposé. Unless it was about her.

"Ooh, on what?"

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

[okteiviakom]

"Okay, maybe you'll see me there."

No, she'd come by. There was a limited amount of things to do on the island, for one.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[imafuturist]

"You guys have everything set up, right?" Tony asked, smile softening. "Stuff for the hospital and then coming home?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[throughaphase]

"I didn't do it," she said simply. "Maybe I'd have tried it with a lot of drinks."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]

[notallbluemonks]

"Yeah, I heard a little about that, too. I'd probably just assume you're all out of your minds except I think this place kind of just. Sucked me in? I don't know." Beau rubbed at the back of her head. "Maybe I did just magically get transported to an island of crazy people."

She took a moment to down a jello shot and laughed. "I'm into it, though. Good booze so far, and the view's pretty nice. Y'know."

Sigh, Beauregard.

"Uh, most recent one was on this shady pharmaceutical company usin' homeless people as easy test subjects." Also.. aliens.

"I can't say I've ever been adventuring with even just one blizzard," Amaya said with a chuckle. Then again, she wasn't the adventuring type herself. More of a support character, really. "But then there's my question: would you want six slots, then?"
