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.

"See, now that's more what I think of when it comes to Halloween. Nice costume, Lex!" He looked at Kitty with a wry grin. "Yours is alright, too."

"I half-assed it," Kitty admitted, as Lexi gave him a wave. "And you are..."

"Someone who has not been to an actual Halloween party in about 20 years," Duke said. "It's not so much a thing at sea."

"That's so sad, Duke," Kitty told him. "Look at all you've been missing out on."

"I mean, it looks a lot like the Halloween parties I remember from high school," Duke said. "I'd say I'm disappointed it's not more Fandom-y, but I'm pretty sure that would lead to getting stabbed by another clown."

"Another clown?" she asked.

"Yeah. Did you miss the clowns, yesterday? If so, I'm kinda jealous."

"No, I definitely saw clowns. I was doing a lot of laundry this morning because of the clowns," Kitty said. "That just sounded like you got stabbed my a first clown."

Duke bobbed his head a little and shrugged. "More cut than stabbed. On the leg. I was trying to get my axe back out of its head."

"That's a terrible Fandom rite of passage," she frowned. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," Duke said automatically. "I learned some things about myself I'd really rather not have known, but, you know. I'll live."

"You know when you say stuff like that I'm going to want to ask what those things are," Kitty pointed out.

"You all are really bad at repressing things around here, huh," Duke observed. "Well. For one thing, I now know I'm capable of swinging an axe into a guy's head. Or, you know, a guy-shaped magical monster or whatever."

"You do what you have to do when someone's trying to cut your heart out," Kitty told him.

"Sure, yeah. But I'm not sure where 'make sure Octavia eats' became more important than 'run away from murderous clowns'."

"See, I'm going to ask about that again," Kitty said.
