i saw lon cheney walking with the queen
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. )

[In fact, with cat ears, a black leotard with a tail stapled to the back, and a nose and whiskers drawn on her face with body paint, she is... very clearly also a cat.]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
It's a night where you get to dress up and pretend to be whatever you want, whether it's funny or something you care about or whatever!
Would you like to be a queen?
no subject
[Forgive her, she always takes a couple repeats of a word before she understands what the hell sounds you made.]
No, I wouldn't. Queens have a lot of responsibility. They have to rule a whole kingdom. Or... queendom.
[But she leaves the crown on her head. It appears that she's decided to stick with being a queen.
Her clothes really don't match the crown, though, being one step away from rags. Not to mention the bandages covering most of her skin.]
Plus, queens always have people trying to assassinate them and everything, don't they? And they have to marry powerful people to keep their bloodline noble and all that.
no subject
I think that if you were the queen, you could marry whoever you wanted, because like... you're the queen! Who'd tell you no?
The assassins would be a problem, though.
no subject
Well, I'm only going to marry whoever wants to marry me.
[Which is nobody. Not even if she were queen, she thinks. But she doesn't voice that thought, seeing as they just met.]
And I guess I'll just have to have a lot of guards for the night. You can be my royal guard.
no subject
--but this is a fun night! So there's no worries about anyone trying to hurt you here at this party, promise!
no subject
[Nott looks dead serious at her.]
Besides, if I'm a queen, you have to listen to me.
no subject
--uh, what do you want me to do about the assassins?
no subject
KILL THEM!
[Ahem.]
Or at least find and arrest them so I can throw them in the dungeons.
no subject
You holds her hands up, palms forward.] I-- I think I'll do the arresting thing, if that's okay with you!
Where are your dungeons, uh, your highness!
no subject
Nott coughs, then looks around.]
...Under the drink table, I guess.
no subject
no subject
no subject
--it's, uh... advice! I'm an adviser!
no subject
Oh! The royal advisor! Well, my feline advisor, whatever your name is... How do you propose we solve the issue of there not being enough... cells... in the dungeon?
[Nott gestures grandly as she talks, and she is absolutely terrible at improv, but she gets there.]
no subject
Like... five minutes?
no subject
[Nott taps her chin in what she thinks is a regal manner.]
Well... I'd prefer the sentences to be longer, but there's not much we can do with a lack of space...
Alright. By my royal decree, each sentence will be five minutes, but to accompany time served in the dungeons, crimes against the crown will also be punished with a fine.
no subject
[Though, since it's Halloween.] Oh-- I know! How about they can pay off their crimes with candy!
