Party!!!, Purposefully Creepy Mansion, Wednesday Evening

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! ]

"Already? How? Who?" she asked, looking around in case she knew which of these people might eventually accidentally see her naked.

"New guy showed up with a newspaper ad I had not yet actually placed." So that was the Fandom part, and Mike looked just resigned, at this point. He nodded towards the snacks. "Name's Eddie, over there by the food."

"Oh. That is very Fandom," she agreed, looking Eddie's way. "Any idea what his deal is?"

Because everyone in Fandom seemed to be from a different time or place or do many things.

Mike offered that a shrug. "He's apparently been hired to write for a town paper I didn't even know we had?"

Brooke frowned. "I think the school used to have a newspaper...?"

Yeah, she had nothing.

"Yeah, I have no idea," he said, shaking his head. "But he seems okay, and my last housemate was a squatter here when I bought the place, so I think this is probably a step up."

"Yeah, probably. But as long as he's good with certain things, great."

He knew which things.

"I warned him."

Because Mike was a good person. Kind of.

"I wish I'd been able to see that conversation," she smiled.

"It was actually pretty brief," he said, with a chuckle. "And I wasn't graphic." That one was a joke, because he didn't think she'd assume he had been. "He seemed okay with it. Said he might keep odd hours at the job, anyway."

"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.

Mike laughed.

"Yeah, I figured you'd approve."

They had their priorities sorted out.
