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. )

Dang. That's impressive. Her eyes widen a bit before she runs over to Iskandar, obviously shocked and a bit surprised. ]
You just went for it! I've never seen someone so confident in their bobbing for apples technique!
no subject
I've actually never played this game before! It is fun though! Not only do you play but you are given a delicious treat upon victory!
[And he holds up his prize of the now half eaten apple.]
no subject
[ The fact that there's so many things that Yoshiko thought were commonplace or things that everybody knew but a lot of people here don't know will never not be weird to her. ]
I know there's some games that you play where you can hang donuts from the ceiling and then your goal is to try and eat it as fast as you can with your hands behind your back...but we didn't have enough time to set it up here.
[ and Yoshiko's too short. Way too short. ]
no subject
[He is almost seven feet tall. Doing something like that would be no problem for him. Besides, he's just here having fun with the games so might as well help out since he's free! She does look like that might be a game she would want to have here.]
I probably won't play it since there isn't an easy way for it to be setup just out of my reach. But I could do so for others.
no subject
[ and then ate like three of them herself. She strikes a very dramatic pose as she continues talking, ]
This'll just be something that needs to happen next year!
no subject
[Just because he can't play it fairly doesn't mean he can't put his full heart into setting it up. Obviously.]
no subject
Uh, I'm Yoshiko, by the way. I'm the one who set all of this up.
no subject
[And of course he loves a good party!]
no subject
Thanks, [ she says, with a smile. ] I really wanted this to be a super fun party, you know? If people are enjoying it, then I guess I succeeded.
no subject
[He looks around then back to her.]
Are games like this common for these parties where you're from?
no subject
These games usually happen if the party's held outside. It's a bit of a pain to clean up afterwards. But, I told the people running the restaurant that I'd help with any cleaning after people leave, so they let me set up things like bobbing for apples inside.
no subject
[Says the man largely responsible for the current said mess.]
I shall stay after to help you clean it then!
no subject
You don't have to. I'd appreciate the help, but I'm sure I can get it done on my own.
no subject
no subject
But you've gotta have fun until the end, okay? This party's not over yet!
no subject
Don't worry. That is what a party is for. To have a wonderful time!
