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.

Look. He didn't realize Halloween costumes were this big of a thing around here, okay?

Not that he likely would have worn one anyway.

He pulled the spare clip she'd loaned him out of his pocket and offered that to her, too. All the bullets he'd fired had been replaced. It was good business in his line of work not to have to owe cops anything, after all.

There was maybe a slight lift of Rosa's eyebrow as she took the clip, but that was as close to commentary as she got before tucking that away as well.

See how much nicer this was? Without talking? Downright pleasant, almost.

Duke would argue that this wasn't nearly as much fun as the dunk tank had been. It was kind of nice how she wasn't looking at him like he smelled funny, though.

He lifted his cup at her, half-salute, half-question. Did she need a refill? You know, while he was handing her things.

Not that pleasant.

Rosa just looked at Duke for a moment, bit back the urge to make some sort of comment about not wanting to owe him anything, shook her head, and turned to move away.

It was a pretty big old spooky mansion, there was no reason they had to actually spare too much space in it.

Duke shrugged. It'd been worth a shot.

He let her go without comment. Apparently the key to interacting with cops really was to refuse to say anything.
