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.

"I can't ask anybody to follow me there," Zack said quietly. "If it's half as dangerous as I think it is..."

Yes, Zack. That's why Miguel wanted you to have backup.

"You're not asking," Miguel said stubbornly. "I'm telling you. I kind of like you alive, and I hate assholes experimenting on people on principle. Plus Iris is my friend, too. If she's in trouble and you're putting yourself in trouble to find her, I want in."

"It'll be easier for me than it was before," Zack noted. Not really an argument so much as a quiet observation. "I had somebody else to worry about, before. Now I don't."

Cloud was safe and sound in Konoha, Zack could move freely, without having to stop to fight to protect him.

He looked downward.

"A couple more days," he said, finally. "And then I'll look into portals, see what I'd need in order to get there unnoticed."

"A couple more days, then." Miguel narrowed his eyes at Zack. "If you try going without me, I'm following and kicking your ass, just so you know."

"And I'll have it coming," Zack said, holding up his hands. "I'll call you, I'll call you. SOLDIER's honor."

For all it was worth.

Miguel nodded, satisfied. "So hey, until then, you're not worrying, right?" He nudged Zack toward the tables. "Drinks. Jello shots. Food. Fun. Okay?"

"Drinks, jello shots, food, fun," Zack echoed, smiling crookedly. "That is what I came here for..."

He followed that nudge toward one of the tables, and then looked over the food on offering there.

"... Holiday food is really weird on this planet."

"In fairness, Halloween food is supposed to be weird," Miguel pointed out.

"I'm not going anywhere near the syringe shots," Zack informed him right back.

Couldn't make him. Nope.

Miguel grinned. "Sure thing. There's still jello, though. I think some of them have eyeballs in them."
