Who: open to all!
What: The Aqours Spooky Get Yohane Magical Powers Halloween Extravaganza...which is a super extra way of saying a Halloween party. It's a Halloween party, y'all.
When: early October
Where: a local restaurant in Olympia
Warning(s): none!

The Halloween party is in the back room of a local, family style restaurant. What used to be a banquet hall is decorated with fake cobwebs, crepe paper, and garlands of pumpkins, ghosts, and cats. A lot of the decorations are hand-made, courtesy of Yoshiko and You. There's an open space in the middle for dancing and mingling, some food tables along one side of the room, and some games and entertainment on the other side. There's a table with various hats, animal ears, and crowns for people who didn't bring a costume. Most of them are made out of cardboard. There's a very beat-up boombox in the corner, obviously borrowed from somebody, playing the El Nysa version of hokey Halloween songs like "The Monster Mash" and "Flying Purple People Eater."

The food is fairly standard Halloween fair. There's a large bowl full of candy, as well as some pumpkin flavored breads and muffins. There's a large punch bowl of something that's green, but is really your bog-standard lime sherbet/lemon-lime soda combination. The oddest thing on the table is some jet black takoyaki, labeled "Tears of a Fallen Angel." The label does not tell you that these things are spicy as hell and flavored solely with Tabasco. There's enough space on the table to fit more food, should your character decide to contribute something that isn't 'way too much sugar' or 'something that will melt your tongue off.'

The Halloween games are simple enough. There's a 'pin the tail on the donkey' though you're pinning a broomstick to a witch. There's a large tub for bobbing for apples. There's also a table dedicated to touch and feel mystery boxes: you reach in blindly to touch what's inside. The labels say things like 'eyeballs' (they're really peeled grapes), 'worms' (they're really cold, cooked spaghetti), and 'hearts' (it's a peeled tomato). The party's going past the closing time of the restaurant, so enjoy some slightly spooky nonsense!

( ooc: feel free to make a starter and tag around! Even if your character didn't reply to Yoshiko's post, it's possible that they heard about the party from somewhere else or just came in from the street: Yoshiko isn't turning away anybody. )

What's the fun in a celebration like this if you don't make the food garish... [Ren pouts a bit around his finger before finally taking it out of his mouth and going back to plating the cupcakes like a relatively normal person.

Molly's remark on it makes him laugh, though.]
Right? Where I came from it was definitely more of a Western tradition - so from a different part of the world - but it's one of those things that spread pretty easily...who can't get behind a holiday that's lots of food and dressing up and scaring people?

[Ren, unsurprisingly, can get behind that kind of holiday 110% regardless of where it's coming from.]

[Ren gives a quiet laugh at that, pulling over a new plate and starting to move the glass-shard cupcakes over to it.] That's good to hear. It's been a while since I made anything like that...and I wasn't sure if that was going to set the same way as the stuff I'm used to...

[Though honestly, gelatin and agar both aren't exactly difficult things to produce, to his knowledge, even in a world like this one.]

Normal people, probably. The kind who don't know how to have fun. [He couldn't sound more disdainful if he tried as he finishes his second piece of fake glass and moves on to the frosting like a child at a birthday party. He's probably never had a cupcake. They are not common things in Exandria and he's, you know, two.]

I've never had anything like this before. [He says around a mouthful of frosting.] The sugar coma I'm about to go into is gonna be so worth it. Remember me as I lived.

[It takes him a moment as he leans in, himself to hear her whisper better, to realize that those two things don't correlate... Or at least he doesn't think they do. To be fair, he does have no idea how all this works.]

Is that a thing that can happen at these parties?

[He is Legitimately Curious.]

"I'm pretty sure the secret mystical whatever is that you just pour a ton of Tabasco into it," You says in a very straightforward manner. Called out, Yohane.

"But," she adds, "it'll probably go faster if it's the two of us! Come on, let's get cooking!"

Before Yoshiko can change her mind, she's just going to grab Yoshiko by the hand and tug her into the kitchen.

[personal profile] thedarkbond 2018-10-10 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's fun to do sometimes, but I also get to watch others cook a lot. [Useful points of having lots of friends who are also good at cooking. Ren also doesn't seem to mind the lack of manners, thankfully.] So you can pick things up by doing that, too. What about you?

[personal profile] thedarkbond 2018-10-10 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, that sounds more like boring people... [Well, he supposes not all people who don't know how to have fun are boring, but still. It's generally safe to assume they're going to be with some rare and entertaining exceptions.

Ren gets extremely distracted from that at Molly's next words, though, and he almost looks too faux-offended at the idea that Molly has never had a cupcake before to even be listening to his sugar coma remark.]
Cupcakes are really good, though, that's such a shame...

[He lets out a huff to get rid of his extremely legitimate offense on Molly's behalf before smiling slightly instead.] Though I guess this means I got to be your first as well~

[He's just bringing that joke back, because why not.]

[A- HEADLESS]
[The problem with just inviting the whole of El Nysa to your benign halloween party is that there's nothing to stop goth lunatics who are going to just get far, far too into it from coming. For Halloween, Law's decided to be a headless man. Literally, he's swapped out carrying his sword around for carrying his own head. The only good news is that rather than a bloody stump, the top of his neck just ends in a weird black void. He's minding his own business by the food, though he doesn't look particularly impressed, picking up one of the black takoyaki and sniffing it.]

Why would you ruin perfectly good takoyaki by putting so much tabasco in it...
[You'd think he wouldn't be able to eat in his current state, but who knows anymore.]

[B- HEAD REATTACHED]
[Later on, when he's either gotten tired of freaking people out or (more likely) was told to stop, Law's stuck his head back where it belongs. He's swapped out carrying his head for carrying a drink, a rye whiskey on the rocks, and has wandered over to the touch and feel boxes. For some reason, the look on his face reads as offended if anything, especially after he reaches into the "hearts" box and pulls out one of the peeled tomatoes, before crushing it dramatically in his hand.]

She knows that the heart is a muscle, right? It has far more structual integrity than this tomato.
[Spoken like a man who's held an actual human heart in his hands, which is incredibly suspicious even if you're aware of his profession as a surgeon.]

[C- WILDCARD]
[Just hit me up if you have any other ideas!]

[Here's Law, probably the only other person here who'll really appreciate the effort Nott went through to bring proper eyeballs to the party. He's grabbing one of the snifters when Nott happens to come over to refill them, and watches her tend to that before he speaks;]

You should put some of these in with the "grapes" that Yohane-ya thinks pass for fake eyeballs.
[Gesturing at the sheep's eyes with his drink hand, because his other hand is occupied carrying his own head. He got really into the Halloween spirit and cut off his own head, and seems in relatively good health given the situation.]

I'm very good at being creepy.

[She flashes her sharp teeth at him, much more of a fanged, jagged, crooked mess of dentistry than a tiefling's.]

Only I forgot to dress up like Yohane said I should. Maybe people I don't know will think I'm just wearing makeup?
flask: (as you lay to die beside me baby)

[personal profile] flask 2018-10-10 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nott grins up at him, revealing a jagged set of fangs and sharp teeth right at home with the atmosphere of the holiday.]

Realer than peeled grapes.

[personal profile] flask 2018-10-10 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hallo-ween." It's a weird name.

[Nott blinks over at the girl, getting a second look at her. It's true, her cat costume isn't very scary.]

I guess it'd be kind of funny if I were some kind of queen, or princess...

[She adjusts the cardboard crown at a jaunty angle.]

[Nott considers this at length, fingers tapping her chin after she finishes filling a glass.]

...I think they would taste good with grapes, yes.

[Takasugi's been dragged through something more trite to arrive at this childish party. He's in [redacted] Alice in Wonderland themed costume; it might be the caterpillar, with how much he's smoking. But there's no telling - he didn't put much effort in.

Rather than play any of the little games or risk his taste buds on over sweet or over spicy food, Takasugi has taken to drinking sake from a gourd hanging on his side, lingering near the bar of the restaurant waiting for something interesting to happen.

Until someone interesting walks through the crowd, head cleaved from his shoulders.]
Yo.

[He's not sure where to look... eventually deciding on looking down to the man's eyes.] It'd be scarier if you left your head alone somewhere, don't you think? [Always a critic - but he's enjoying this 'costume' choice.]

[Ren is extremely difficult to scare or even unsettle, which is useful for situations like this. Actually, before he responds directly to her, he seems to get merrily distracted for a moment by said sharp teeth.]

Oh, your teeth are cool... [A bit messy, but then, she doesn't look like the kind of person who'd care for neat teeth.] Anyway, I think more people are probably going to eat the peeled grapes, but having something real is good for atmosphere, right?

[He has not missed the fact that she's putting the eyes on the food table, but he's wondering whether she's going to be straightforward about any intent to eat them.]

[ help............. what is nott.......

saya makes a face, clearly unsure of how she is supposed to be reacting. on one hand, she should be polite about this, but on the other hand, she's a little unsure of how to feel about all of this. ]


Uh, yeah, you kind of do.

[personal profile] flask 2018-10-11 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her smile... falters, at that, and she self-consciously covers her mouth with a hand. They're not generally called "cool", but maybe he's just feeling the spirit of the holiday. Either way, she's not proud of them by any means.]

Yohane said the grapes are not for eating. But I made sure to get plenty of eyes for everybody. It'd be a waste to let them sit.

[Not grins, revealing two rows of piranha-like teeth. She makes a pawing gesture with her clawed hands.]

I'm like a freaky tabaxi! Meow!

[This is probably offensive to tabaxis.]
