Party!, Purposefully Creepy Mansion, Thursday Evening

[newroutines]

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.]

Tony had also gone patriotic. He'd just gone in a different route with it.

Abraham Lincoln costume on the top, shorts, fishnets and heels on the bottom. Because Baberham Lincoln was much more fun.

"I approve of the heels," Verity said.

Ugh, yesterday had meant fighting in flats, so now she was in her eight-inch heels to make up for it.

She just liked being tall, okay?

"Haven't turned an ankle yet, so I count this as a win," Tony replied.

"The real test is gonna be out on the floor," Verity said, grinning. "Gonna cut a rug or whatever weird thing Steve is gonna say?"

Look, they had both been shattered people in hopeless love a few weeks ago. That was a bond that would never die.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[imafuturist]

It was the sort of bond that deserved a large amount of alcohol.

"Thank god I had to learn both parts at boarding school."

Fortunately, Mike had been prepared for that one.

"Does that mean we're going to break their poor hearts again by dancing together at some point?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[imafuturist]

"Break their hearts or encourage them to cut in to reclaim their loves?" Tony asked. "I'm certain I've seen that movie before."

“Why,” Beau said immediately upon seeing him. She didn’t get the cultural references or anything, just … why.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[imafuturist]

"Mostly to mess with Steve," he admitted.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[notallbluemonks]

Beau’s snickering wasn’t even a little bit decorous. As if she would ever care about a detail like that.

“Okay, yeah, I can get behind that reason.”

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[imafuturist]

"Also, I'm pretty proud of my legs." OF COURSE HE'D BE.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[notallbluemonks]

“Totally valid,” Beau said dryly. Not like she could talk shit with her billowy and yet unnecessarily cropped pirate shirt.

"And you are... Zorro?" He hadn't seen Karolina's costume to put it together!

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[notallbluemonks]

Beau gave him an exasperated look. "The meta Dread Pirate Roberts, man, come on."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[imafuturist]

"I haven't seen the movie in ages!" Tony said. "Should actually make Steve watch it as part of his pop culture education."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[notallbluemonks]

“You totally should,” Beau agreed. “I think we’re gonna get Liam to watch it too? He hasn’t seen it.”

Oh boy, movie night might actually be a whole production at this rate.

She grinned. Just for a second. “Yeah, Karolina’s meta Buttercup, it’s a whole thing.”

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

"That's sweet," Tony said, smiling with both amusement and absolute sincerity. "Try not to get into a drinking contests with a Scillian."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[notallbluemonks]

Beau huffed a laugh. "I mean, I think I'd win."

Beauregard. No.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[imafuturist]

Tony laughed and shook his head. "Just don't pick Steve. He metabolisizes normal alcohol too fast, it's cheating."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[notallbluemonks]

Beau sighed and rolled her eyes, though it was actually just a touch more playful than genuinely annoyed. "Of fucking course he does. Of course. Good to have on my team if it's, like, a team drinking game though. We should totally have like a team drinking league, dude. That'd be sick."

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[imafuturist]

"And who here would you compete against?" Toby asked, looking around the party.

Re: Arrive/Mingle [Halloween 2019]

[notallbluemonks]

"I dunno." Beau shrugged. "I'd probably have to spend time observing all of them, which is kinda not what I'm here to do. Probably more than a few contenders, though. Why, do you have any ideas?"
