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.]

"Ahhhh, what a delightfully whimsical costume ♥," noted Shunsui, who was starting to see some of the benefits of this strange but amusing holiday. "Assuming, of course, that we have not been merely blessed with the presence of such a lovely sylvan beauty tonight; we certainly have all types here, after all ♥."

With that, he gave her a beaming smile and lifted a jug he was holding in one hand, a small flat bowl of a cup in the other. "Would you care for some sake, my dear ♥?"

It took a second for Éponine to respond; it was just that she could swear she could actually see hearts when he spoke, and sometimes she had to be sure things were real, and not just her seeing or hearing things.

They certainly seemed real enough. She wasn't going to dig too much deeper into the thought, then. Instead she just smiled, and waved her glittery little light-up wand at him.

"I won't say no to that, monsieur. I don't know that I've tried it before, but see if I'm not game to find out!"

Perhaps her voice was too rough to suit the costume well, but there was nothing to be done about it.

[OOC: I am so sorry, work got hectic and I lost this one in the shuffle.]

"And if you haven't," Shunsui answered easily, a broad grin on his face as he poured a little of the rice wine into a tiny bowl from a large jug, "then tonight seems a good night for trying new things, neh ♥?"

He handed the cup out for her.

"And meeting new people ♥. I don't believe I've had the pleasure ♥. I am Shunsui Kyōraku..." He went to tip his happy but remembered only after it was too late that he wasn't wearing it, so he wound up just ducking his head in a nod, running that errant hand absently through his hair. "And what name shall I ascribe to the beauty I am honored to see before me ♥?"

Éponine couldn't help a short, sharp laugh at that; she knew what meaningless flattery sounded like, and this did not sound like it. Perhaps not the most sincere flattery, but it lacked the cynical edge of people only looking to get her on their good side. It was not something she was terribly used to, but she wasn't going to complain.

"Éponine, monsieur, that's my name," she replied with a quick curtsey. "Pleased to make your acquaintance."
