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.]

Oh.
But I thought that was the point?
no subject
I mean ... I think you can try as best you can without having to be exactly alike.
no subject
I guess I thought if my costume wasn't perfect I should really work on my impression. But... I think I just got a little in the weeds about everything, huh?
no subject
I mean, as long as you're having fun, I guess it doesn't matter too much. You just seem really worried about getting it perfect.

[ She would also care, truth be told. And she can relate. But Deku brings out the "I will fight a bully" in her. ]
It's not fun ... to be at a party, if you're trying too hard to impress people.
[ She says, as though she's ever been invited to a party. ]
no subject
[He looks nervously at his shoes but then back up at her.]
But I guess you're right. I shouldn't over think this. ...Or at least try not to.
no subject
I didn't think you were new. I mean, at least not as new as me ...
[ She thinks he wants to make a good impression because he doesn't know anybody yet! ]

[ Hmm. She can sympathize with that, too.
There's a beat as she waffles on whether or not to do this -- it takes a moment to gather up the courage, but finally she asks, cheeks a little flushed: ]
Do you wanna ... go get some candy?
no subject
no subject
So, she'll gruffly grab his sleeve and start to pull him towards the candy. ]
Well, hurry up then, or all the good stuff's gonna be gone.
