Party!, Purposefully Creepy Mansion, Thursday Evening

It was once more Halloween, and the island had finally calmed the fuck down again.

Well, mostly. The Jack O'Lanterns outside in the yard lighting the way to the house occasionally laughed in a PG-rated creepy fashion, and bat cut-outs flew around the ceiling above the partygoers' heads, and the black cats printed on the sides of balloons flicked their tails back and forth and sometimes hissed at people when they went by.

And because it was tradition, there was a bloody goblin in the fridge, complete with a name tag identifying it as April. Only this time, whenever you opened the door to get something, it'd tell you whatever you were grabbing was actually poison...ously delicious!

(Shut up, it was made of plastic, its punning game wasn't the greatest.)

There were also once more lots of snacks, lots of drinks, and way too many kinds of jello shots. But fewer renditions of Monster Mash on the Spotify playlist for this party, this year! So far, anyway. Mike had a sign up againwith instructions on how to find the playlist and add songs to it, so that may not last all through the evening.

[ooc: OCD up, have at! OPEN TO ALL! If you're an adult, you got an invitation! Students are welcome to try and sneak in should they so wish, but may be politely removed from the premises.]

And he liked the kid too!

"We were attacked by Mole people, Kitty."

"I mean, that does sound about right," Kitty said.

"And there were dimensional portals." Again, very Reed Richards.
throughaphase: (curious)

"Yeah, my kid's way better, at least until she starts going through portals."

...Which gave them like four years.

Nah. It'd be space first. Then portals.

"Maybe keep her away from the weird days here?"
throughaphase: (can i help you?)

"Have you seen how many weird days we've had since she's been born?" Kitty pointed out.

"...I'd say take her home, but I have a better idea than a lot of people what that means."

YEAH. GET PROFESSOR X TO BABYSIT.
throughaphase: (x-man)

PROFESSOR X WAS DEAD CURRENTLY.

LOGAN WOULD BE FUNNY THOUGH.

"Because it's not that much different and the chances are pretty good that the mansion would get destroyed?"
imafuturist: (trying to look innocent)

HAD GRASS EVEN HAD TIME TO GROW ON THE GRAVE?

"I think it's lasted a whole year back home for me!" A new record.
throughaphase: (hearing what you're saying)

"That's actually pretty good. When a sharkicane broke my bar I used the mansion's usual contractors to fix the place up."

She wasn't kidding. They were on retainer back home.
