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. )

Someone else's got to run the Christmas party, though. It's coming up way too soon!
no subject
A big present exchange kind of thing might be fun, though...
no subject
[ Which is also something that Yoshiko doesn't want to dwell on, so she continues talking. ]
Anyway, I like the idea of a present exchange. We can do something like 'all the gifts go in the center, you pick a number, you take a box' just so we don't have to coordinate who gives who what.
no subject
[But then, it's not a topic he entirely wants to linger on either, so he's happy to latch onto the subject of the present exchange instead, all bright and cheery again.]
That's a pretty good idea, as long as we don't get anyone who's really fussy about what they get~ [Then again, one would hope they wouldn't attend a present exchange if they were that fussy.]
no subject
We'll just have to make the rules super specific. That way, if anybody fussy shows up, then they can say that they didn't know what was going on, they didn't expect a gift like this, blah blah blah.
no subject
[If they don't like it, maybe they have a friend who would. Everyone wins.]
There's probably people who'll complain, but at that point it'd just be people who'd be complaining regardless of what was going on, right?

We should talk about it more closer to the season. For now, let's just enjoy the party, right?
