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.]

Beau looked at him like she didn't quite have the patience to wait for him to grasp the concept, but in a playful kind of way.

"Hell yeah, I think so," she replied. "It's like a friend thing to do, right? I've never done something like that. So obviously we should do it."

Liam hadn’t either, which Beau probably could’ve guessed. “Great! Good. Great.” Liam, you were babbling.

"So wait, how exactly do you feel about this idea?" Beau, don't be a brat about this. "I'm sort of unclear, that was a kinda vague reaction, you know?"

Beauregard. Stop that.
firstofitskind: (i don't think so)

"I mean. I think it's kind of okay?" Liam said, feigning casual.

"Right," Beau replied, unable to keep the corner of her mouth from twitching with amusement. "So, no strong feelings one way or the other. Got it."
firstofitskind: (i hear you)

"Glad we're on the same page." Super casual nod.

"Totally. Yeah." There was really no need for Beau to look kind of smug about it, but. Well. "You're not like excited or anything at all, I'm clear on that."

"It's just a movie with some friends," and sure, maybe there was just the slightest emphasis on 'friends', seeing as they were something he'd never actually had outside of 'a couple of fellow Resistance members who he'd started working with out of necessity and gradually became ride-or-die with'. "What's there to be excited about?"
