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.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
Yes, she was still hung over from last night's tequila bender. No, that wasn't stopping her; she was kind of always hung over anyway. Which was good, in that it covered up a little of her confusion at the decorations, at least.
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
"Hi," she said, with a little smile, as she came over. "I like your outfit." She was making no guesses at this point as to whether it was a costume or everyday wear.
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
"'sup," Beau said automatically, before glancing over and doing a fairly visible double take, because, well. Walking disaster. "Oh, hey."
She hadn't mastered the art of saying thank you yet. Sorry, Karolina.
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
This Morticia look had a push-up thing and cinch-in thing both happening, and it stood to reason that it would've been a shame if no one had taken notice, right?
"Hi," she repeated. "I'm Karolina."
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
"That's a really nice, uh --" she gestured vaguely at Karolina's outfit. "It really works for you, you know? I'm Beau, by the way."
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
She almost said she thought she'd remember if she had. But she hadn't had enough shots for that.
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
She; for the record, would have absolutely said something like that with no help from the jello shots.

"Mostly that it's really fucking weird?" Beau said, shrugging. "That was the theme that came up with everyone I asked about it. "And that it's a totally different world from mine. Something about occasional invasions, too."
Because of course she'd remember that part.

She always thought she sounded like a crazy person when she said these things, even though she knew they happened.
"Fandom's kind of hard to explain."
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
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.
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
That didn't mean she was any better at serving it back, though. "Well, I mean... We try." See? Terrible. "With the alcohol and otherwise."
Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2018]
"Good enough reason to stick around, if you ask me. And what the hell are these?" She waved the empty jello shot cup with one hand, pointing at it with the other, looking totally blown away and only part of that was the alcohol. "I mean, besides awesome."
This was going to make gelatinous cube encounters so weird later.

Okay, technically she'd already left twice, but it was a long story.
