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.]

"Seeing as I am over thirteen, yes," Duke said with a shrug. "Not that that's apparently stopping anyone else tonight."

"So they're all kids," Seivarden said. "At least there are drinks and I didn't have to shoot clowns on the way here."

That had not been quite what Duke meant, but he shrugged anyway. "I'm definitely happy not to have to deal with any more clowns. I don't think my shirt from yesterday is ever going to recover."

It'd taken forever to get the clown blood out of his hair, too.

"Or my jacket," Seivarden said, throwing a brief glare in Rosa's direction. Then she took a sip from her drink and smiled at Duke. "So how is business going?"
betterthanaplan: (so that's concerning)

"It's alright. Little bit slow on the island, but I've made it out to do some pick ups and deliveries here and there. You?"

"It's pumpkin season in the flower store," Seivarden said with a hint of irony.

"People asking for tiny pumpkins in their festive bouquets?"

"That and just pumpkins," Seivarden said. "Those porg creatures keep visiting too, and I've given up trying to get them out. I think there's a nest somewhere."

She shook her head.

“Probably. Things are all over my damn boat.”

Raising families. It was an honor. Made it harder to run his jobs though.
