I can't wait to see everyone's Halloween costumes!! ♪♪(o*゜∇゜)o～♪♪
[You'd better. Because it's a party!
Kaede and Erika have dressed the room up for the spookiest night of the year. It's nothing professional - lights dimmed, music playing, store-bought balloons with jack-o-lantern faces on them, paper cutouts in pumpkin and ghost shapes stuck to the wall. A "bat" is fluttering around, but if you squint, it's actually just Erika's familiar with black paper stuck to her wings. There's some kind of plastic tub in the corner full of water and...apples? Is it supposed to be bobbing for apples? All in all, it has some kind of DIY charm to it all.
Of course, everyone's actually here for the refreshments, and there's plenty of those. Some Bender specials, mostly the non-enchanted fare, but you might find a couple of the milder curses and blessings on the table. Bowls of popcorn and chips and every other genre of snack food you can scrounge up at Fantasy Costco. Candy galore. A modest assortment of Faerunian treats familiar from missions. Paper cups and plates and napkins. Soda bottles and a water pitcher and a few big bowls of punch. (One is labeled "alcoholic". Be ye ware.)
And by the way, costumes really are mandatory. There's a sign out front saying so. If you came unprepared, there's a bin of costume components outside to choose from, capes and headbands and masks and whatnot, but they might not coordinate well. If you think you're getting in without making an effort, Kaede and Erika (themselves dressed in bargain bin warlock and bard kit, respectively) are ready and waiting to chase you down and apply whatever degree of force or Sleep they need to correct the issue, with costume accessories and water-resistant face paint in hand.
About two hours into things, the two get everyone's attention and move the party outside to the Quad. Out there they've got a campfire going, picnic blankets spread out for sitting on, ingredients for s'mores laid out, and...pumpkins! And tools for carving or painting them. A sign out by the campfire announces a contest for the best decorated pumpkins, but nobody ever comes along to apply judging standards, so everyone's just free to show off their creation.
Things wind down a little after midnight. You can head on home...or just sleep out here, between blankets under the stars. It's that cozy kind of night.]

As people start wandering back to their dorms, Erika makes a token effort at cleaning up that's quickly abandoned. She pitches a handful of pumpkin guts into the fire to see what happens to them, though, and spends a good few minutes watching them contemplatively.
She finds Kaede afterwards.]

[ But then she looks around furtively and leans in a little, dropping her voice to a whisper just loud enough for Kaede to hear. ]

[Michael, still illusion'd as Eleanor, gets her voice perfect and the inflections entirely wrong. In fairness, he's never said that term ever in his entire life.
When he reaches up to adjust the mask on his face, it just looks like Eleanor's raised her hands and is touching nothing, while above them the mask moves around.]

Fashionably Late
[Loki arrives shortly after the party begins. If he feels his "costume" out of place he doesn't show it, looking every bit the confident prince he was raised to be at parties. He can be found either sampling the unfamiliar treats on the table or relaxing in a chair observing the other party goers with light amusement.]
S'Mores
[Once the party is moved out onto the quad Loki can be found by the s'mores supplies, munching on the chocolate. He has no idea what a s'more is and thinks this is just an odd combination of snacks.]
Seeing Double Trigger warning for impaling. It's only an illusion so there's no blood
[If someone is to wander a little away from the main party they might come across a tree with a weirdly low branch. It would appear Loki has been impaled on this branch, his body slumped forward
A particularly perceptive person may notice there's no blood anywhere.]
s'mores
[Michael still looks and sounds like Eleanor at the moment, but he does flicker it off for a second.]

Crowley & Aziraphale | Open
[ Crowley and Aziraphale arrive together. They're dressed in matching Doctor Who costumes, though not the ones you'd think. Crowley is absolutely rocking his kissogram outfit, long red hair let down, while Aziraphale looks relieved to still be in a relatively familiar suit and bow tie, and keeps reaching up to check his fez, looking pleased.
In fact, they both look...uncharacteristically happy. Aziraphale's all sunny smiles most of the time, but tonight he's absolutely beaming, and keeps shooting adoring glances in Crowley's direction. Crowley's pretending to ignore this, but he can't help his lips quirking up every time Aziraphale looks his way.
They're also holding hands, fingers laced tightly together. ]
s'mores
[ Never mind Heaven, this is paradise. Aziraphale's life on Earth had consisted mainly of comfortable old bookshops and posh restaurants, just as soon as the humans had thought to invent such things, and he'd been out of living in tents and into solid buildings with roofs and indoor plumbing the second they were available. He had not for so much as a nanosecond even toyed with the idea of camping for fun.
Which means that this is his very first encounter with s'mores. And my dude he is living. His fingers are a sticky mess, and he keeps laughing and going back for more. Crowley, meanwhile, seems content to sit and just watch Aziraphale eat, gazing at him with a sappy smile whenever he thinks no one is looking. Occasionally he'll roast a marshmallow for Aziraphale, to minimize the time the angel has to wait between one s'more and the next.
But much as he's trying to catch up on a century's worth of s'mores, Aziraphale's just as happy, as always, to share the good news. He grins brightly at anyone who approaches, offering a freshly-assembled s'more. ]
Have you tried these? They're delightful!
pumpkins
[ While Aziraphale's contented himself with (badly) painting his pumpkin, Crowley's decided to go all out. Having already cut the top off and hollowed out the inside of the pumpkin, he's now hard at work carving an intricate design on the front.
He nods at the person across the table, pointing at a small, curved knife. ]
Hand me that one, would you? No, the - the little one, looks like those swords they've got in that one film, the cartoon, you know. Flying carpet.
[ Flawless. ]
wildcard
[ Post a prompt or ask for something! You can request Aziraphale, Crowley or both for any prompt. ]
Pumpkin - Either Crowley or Aziraphale or both. Whatever strikes your fancy
This one?
[He points to the wrong knife. Hey, it's not his fault he lacks the cultural knowledge to understand your shitty description of Aladdin.]

[Spike's mostly here for investigative purposes-- especially getting to figure out who these other reclaimers are. He didn't exactly heed the costume warnings, but even if he had... Spike's idea of a costume isn't altogether creative, anyway. He just shows up in the clothes he's acquired from the start as a dancer-- a loose fitting, big-sleeved button up and tight high-waist pants. The only difference is a red dog collar doubled around his wrist. At least it's not what he usually wears.]
Hey, it's a costume. It's, uh, a wanderer.
[Spike gives a little excuse when he's pressed-- and then adds on an almost sheepish chuckle.]
Sorry, that one's not gonna fool you, is it?
Pumpkins
[Later on in the party with a successfully painted face and perhaps a little touch of booze, Spike can be found... puzzling over a pumpkin. He really is just sitting on the floor crosslegged in front of the damn thing, staring at it, trying to decide. One arm reeeaches up to grasp something off the table-- a marker, it seems-- and then draws something that looks like an emoji. It's pretty accurate, but he still puzzles at it regardless.]
I think... Is that what it looked like?
Well, close enough.
[He's just gonna cap that marker and grab one of those little saws. He'll.... figure out a way to get this out of here.]

Costume
no subject
[ Minato's got a costume!! He shows up in a white t-shirt, blue hoodie, black pajama pants, and ... music note slippers? It's not a perfect match, but it's close to the outfit of a certain skeleton that teleports around the moon base. If said skeleton had blue emo hair, and also skin. Minato had no part in the makeup he's wearing though. Kaede painted his face like a skeleton when he arrived at the party. Jeez Kaede, he already got the clothes, wasn't that enough??
He can be found hanging out by the snacks eating candy for dinner and avoiding the entire area with the apple bobbing bucket. The last thing he wants is to get greasy wet makeup dripping off of his face and all over his clothes. ]
B. Decorative Gourds
[ Minato wanted to try pumpkin carving but found on the first stab that it's tougher than he expected. They're thick, and after struggling to carve it open and gut it his arms were tired. What's worse, he found he couldn't think of what people actually carve into pumpkins. Some kind of face, right?
That's how he ends up with this poorly thing. A truly sad attempt was made. Looking between it and the far more creative ones others are carving, one thing is pretty obvious... ]
Mine's gonna win.
C. The Sauce cw: underage drinking (by usa standards)
[ The alcoholic punch doesn't even taste that different, so he's had a few cups of it. By the time everyone's done with their pumpkins and outside stargazing, he's on the edge between buzzed and drunk. His makeup has been wiped off, leaving smears of black and white along the edges of his face. He's sitting on the grass staring intensely at the unoccupied space in front of him, churning through his thoughts. He knew, theoretically, that people felt things a lot more than he did. He's been called emotionless often enough! But the Oath with Kaede really solidifies just how much people feel. It's exhausting.
Maybe you'll interrupt him before he comes back from his trip to lala land. If not, there's a good chance he'll be interrupting you on his next trip to refill his cup of punch. He'll pass by you before pausing in his tracks. A moment later, he heads on over to ask the question he's been mulling over. ]
How do you handle all that stuff inside you?
Wildcard
Got something you want to harrass him over? Feel free to tag it! Want to talk something out? I'm available at
B
His pumpkin isn't a face. He's trying to carve out some sorta bird shape. The...details of feathers are getting lost, but at least the shape is more or less right? Kind of jagged. Maybe if he makes it more bird-like...]
Oh yeah, kid. Peak effort right there. Blue ribbon prize and all.

A - Wall flowering
[Kokichi's found himself a spot against a wall to sit, out of the way where he can observe the party and consume the large amount of sweets he grabbed for himself. He's a little wary with alcohol being introduced, so he's not immediately jumping into the fray to bug people and let loose. Drunks aren't fun when you're not drunk, and he is not getting even a little tipsy, no thank you.
If you look like you want to do some wall flowering too, though, he'll happily offer you a handful of candy.]
Want some? I picked them out myself, and I am a professional candy connoisseur. PhD qualified and everything!
[There are PhDs for candy tasting?]
B - Pumpkin carving
[This is more his speed, the little gremlin making a mess as he carves and paints a couple of pumpkins. He's got three going on, one carved into a clown face, one painted with a godzilla scene in a very childish art style, and the one he's painting right now is just. Horses. Just lots of horses. Were they only supposed to do one pumpkin? Oops.]
Hey, hey, let me see yours!
[You might find yourself with this gremlin leaning into your space, trying to peek at what you're making.]
Come onnnnn let me seeeeee!
C - Cozy time
[As things start winding down, he's settled down with a couple of blankets built into a nest of sorts, though he's not sleeping or staring up at the stars or anything. He's actually curled up with a book. Where did that come from? He definitely didn't walk in with that, nor had he left the party at any point. There's a sketchbook and crayons laid out as well, with some doodles on the open page. Weird. He's got some candy from the party earlier too that he saved as well as a little stack of s'mores on a plate.
He won't say no to company if you want to join him, or mooch off of his stolen bounty of candy.]
D - Wildcard
[If something here doesn't work, feel free to hit me up with whatever! He won't drink anything alcoholic and he won't partake in bobbing for apples because that doesn't mix with face paint, okay? But he'll laugh at people's attempts. You can also hit me up at
A-ish-wildcard
[Mia greets, a bit surprised and impressed at his costume.]
You sure went all-out, didn't you?
[Mia, simply a yuriel-style ghost with red menhera makeup, certainly looks like she took the easy way out next to Kokichi's creepy-cute clown. And that's because it absolutely was the easy way out.]
A connoisseur, huh? I'll have to trust your judgement, then.
[yeah, she'll hold out her hands to accept candy from this kid, it's totally fine]

No he's not going to try it.]

[You ever have one of those days where existence is a mistake? Yeah. Shinjiro's got (1) roommate that's hosting the party where costumes are mandatory, and a friend who knows Sleep and this is how he ends up in fairy wings with flowers painted on his face. His beanie has been confiscated for the night. He has so many regrets.
Should anyone's gaze linger too long on the cutesy wings or the paint, they'll get faintly growled at with costume fangs, i.e. the one concession to his tough-guy image he was allowed to keep.]
Not. A. Word.
[....But honestly the wings and facepaint just make him sound adorable when he says it. It's like the irl version of getting your fucks autocorrected to ducks.]
ii. to booze or not to booze
[See Shinjiro. See Shinjiro wandering around the refreshments area, occasionally pausing for a second or two near the boozy punch before moving on, and then coming back. See Shinjiro muttering about something every time he approaches.
This boy has a Dilemma, you see, and it's not so much to do with his age as the fact that he does not know what'll happen to certain horsebeasts that live in his psyche if he allows himself to get even a little drunk. On the other hand .... everything's been a Lot and he's really tired and would really like to escape for a night. All this is, of course, complicated by depression and guilt, too, though he tries to silence that nagging discomfort about allowing himself that escape with the more practical side of concerns.
In the meantime, he's going to wear out a hole in the movie room floor pacing so hard. Maybe you'd like to tell him to stop? Or just ask him what the hell his problem is. Or worse, you had a minor collision while he's been off somewhere else in his head and he's momentarily blanked on acknowledging this with his actual human mouth words. Shinjiro.exe has encountered a fatal exception and must restart.]
Uh, what?
iii. pumpkaboo
[Lesser known Shinjiro facts: he's actually wildly competitive, despite the lack of any actual judges. Which is to say, he's getting REAL into this, carving into the pumpkin with gusto where he otherwise might not have bothered.
Careful not to cut yourself on the edge, though. It's kind of hilarious next to the cutesy wings. He is definitely not compensating at all no sir not even a little.]

Erika's minor collision with him is completely voluntary. She sort of body-checks him from the side and fails to accomplish anything by it because hahahahaha; then she grabs him firmly by the elbow. Huizi lands on his chest and flaps paper bat-wings at him.]
Sit down.
[Optionally, breathe.]

[Phoenix has, of course, been roped into this, with a certain mischief-maker having decided his costume for him. Poofy white sleeves, a cravat with a icy blue pin, a black ensemble ending in a skirt and stockings, and what is clearly a fake whip... sound familiar?]
Just one night... it's just for one night. [He's embarrassed, but he's persevering. Because what else is he going to do?]
ii. pumpkins
[Phoenix, however, has managed to distract himself having spotted some of the painting supplies and the pumpkins. He hasn't really figured out what he's going to do, though, but the mood is at least getting him a bit nostalgic for some of his old talents.]
iii. campfire.
[It's been a hectic two weeks for Phoenix, having settled in - or attempted to, as best he can. He's still not used to any of it yet, but the campfire is invitingly cozy, and he's managed to set aside anything else that might have been distracting him and just sit there and relax. Not even the embarrassment of the costume can seem to spoil his mood now, as he thinks back on the last couple weeks before he's arrived.]
...I'm glad we get a chance to relax, at least. [He doesn't say that to anyone in particular, but he if you respond to him he won't mind the company.]
iv. wildcard
[Anything else you want, hit me up!]
i
But this guy... is interesting. It's not that McCree's judging a guy for wearing a skirt, but why the whip? ]
Sure you didn't take a wrong turn? Is there a party going on tonight for people with that particular fetish?
[ Nodding at the whip, of course. ]

Eleanor!
He sees Eleanor, someone that he normally straightens up and stares at in something like fear and sweats every time he sees, and instead stumbles over to her. Then he flings his arm around her and promptly proceeds to hang off her.]
Eleanor-san! How are you? Having f-fun?
