20:00....Halloween night...the movie room...

You'd better be there. You'd better be in costume.

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.]
slieght: my bikini area myself. Long story short, I'll be drunk when you get home. (I decided I was tough enough to wax)

[Sorry Honoka, you did not succeed in scaring him. He's always mindful of his surroundings, so he picked up on her approach pretty quick.

However...that doesn't stop him from managing a fake jump, yelping and dropping his book. It's pretty convincing, and he stares at her for a few moments before his eyes start to water.]


H-how could you s-sneak up on me like that?
korekara: (Maybe you’re gay if you think that’s gay)

[personal profile] korekara 2019-11-06 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
H–huh?!

[ And immediately, Honoka's face goes from gleeful satisfaction at a well-executed prank to completely bafflement. And then panic. ]

W–wait, did I really scare you that much?! I wasn't that scary, was I?

[ she mcfucked up ]
slieght: past/present hookups what the nicknames that my friends and I have assigned them. (Sometimes I wish I could tell all my)

[The tears clear up pretty much immediately, and he gives a little whinny of a laugh, waving a hand.]

Just think of that as my revenge for startling the Supreme Leader of Evil, nishishi! [...very harmless revenge.] You weren't that scary. Are you secretly a rogue though? It's suuuuuper hard to sneak up on me, you know.
korekara: (The void of nothingness is kinda lame)

[personal profile] korekara 2019-11-08 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, come on, that was mean! I was really worried for a second, there!

[ Of course, it's hard to take her seriously when she doesn't sound even remotely put out. ]

A~nyway... you really think I could be a rogue? [ she looks thoughtful. horrifying. ] I'm getting pretty good at all the bard stuff... so maybe I could look into rogue stuff, too...
slieght: the same time last night, and none of them are in the same city as I am. That's achievement. (I gave three different guys a boner at)

[personal profile] slieght 2019-11-10 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Nishishi!

[No apology, sorry. You don't sound upset, so clearly it's all good, right?]

Sure! That was a pretty good sneak attack, you know? If you can do that, then you can definitely be a rogue. Especially if you can sneak up on me. I was, after all, King of Rogues back home. I think a Bard Rogue sounds not so boring.
korekara: (Water is just… air juice.)

[personal profile] korekara 2019-11-13 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't it kinda miss the point though?

[ Ponder, ponder. This might be the most serious Honoka's looked about anything since getting back on the Moon Base. ]

Being a Bard is all about being loud and getting people hyped up, right? But I can't be loud if I'm supposed to be all sneaky, can I?
