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! ]

Physically or emotionally? Because he was in a weird part of his life right now, just coming out of a serious relationship and into... another serious relationship with an alien goo.

"Hey," he said, offering the hand not clutching the candy dish. "Nice to meet you."

Physically. In a few different ways, probably!

"You too. So we have a newspaper?"

Look, she was curious.

"Yeah," Eddie said, taking a deep breath as he once again had to process the deer situation without seeming crazy.

He was new, Okay?

"It's... the, uh, the Gazette?"

"Huh. Go figure," she said. "Did you write for a paper back home?"

"Uh, the Daily Globe back in New York--" If you were wondering what in the hell that accent was from, you had an answer with that. New York-ish. New York-adjacent. "And I did a series of video exposés in San Francisco."

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

"Ooh, on what?"

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

"Oh. That's definitely something that needs an exposé," she frowned.

Fuck big pharma!

"But, yeah. First go at the guy in charge of it all, I got fired."

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2018]

"That sucks," she said, honestly sympathetic, "and also doesn't seem really surprising these days. Is it something where you can sue them into next week?"

"I'm not interested in the money or anything," he said, waving her off. "I got the bastard the second time around. Had break into their labs to get the proof for my old boss to believe any of it."
