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.]

"They were murder clowns," Kitty repeated, like Rosa didn't know.

"Yeah," said Rosa, "ones that disappeared when you shot them and didn't require paperwork afterwards."

Don't.

"It was nice."

Ask.

Kitty paused for a long moment.

"I like your costume."

Brooklyn could get pretty weird sometimes.

Not Fandom weird, but still.

"Meh," Rosa shrugged. "I just sort of had it laying around. Are you supposed to be that crocodile guy?"

"I'm a generic zookeeper who definitely at least took a cue from that crocodile guy in the fashion department," Kitty said. "It's been mostly nonstop crazy, I got lazy."

"I wore this one, like, four years ago," Rosa offered sympathetically. "I get it."

"But! At least tomorrow should probably be normalish!"

She was so hopeful!

"At least tomorrow should probably be normalish," Rosa agreed with a faint smirk. Hey, it was finally Halloween. Even she could be optimistic about that.

"And then," she added, lest anyone think she was being too optimistic, "we get hit with gravy shoes."

She was apparently really leaning into the gravy shoes.

She...may have been thinking of how to make gravy shoes happen for at least a few people, whether the island wanted it or not.

Kitty just shook her head at her. A lot.

Lexi... probably was trying to repeat "gravy shoes." It didn't work too well.
