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. )

[Law can't tell if her word choice was intentionally suspect, but his eyes narrow to a suspicious squint either way.]

I'm a pirate. It's a pirate ship.
[He wouldn't usually bring this up so soon into a conversation but he can't let that other term persist.]

[Nott's advanced interrogation techniques: being so obnoxious people have to correct you.]

Oh. You know, I had a friend who sailed, but I don't think he was a pirate. Probably not?

[And because being like "oh hey that's like my friend" isn't the best starting point for a conversation...]

So did you, you know, pillage port towns and steal treasure and all that?
kikoku: (how dare you)

[It's worked on Law before, because he's that type of detail oriented asshole.]

My crew doesn't pillage. A pirate is just someone who sails without following the law of the world government. There's plenty of other crimes you can commit.
[So he's not denying that he does crimes, apparently.]
flask: (and dark as night)

[Oh, yeah, crimes. There are certainly plenty of crimes. Nott's heard of some.]

I mean... I guess there's no one here to say you couldn't commit crimes in your homeworld.

[Nott's problem is that she still commits the same crimes here... So she can't be as candid about it.]

Maybe you can... give an example?
kikoku: (but why)

[This is a weird question, and gets a suspicious squint from Law. It's unclear if his head being detached from his body makes this expression more or less effective.]

Do you.... not know what is and isn't a crime?
[He was trying to be nice and not assume Nott was some weird half feral animal person, with her appearance, but now he's not sure if he should have.]
