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. )

[Who is Roxana? Apparently someone he's close to if he's going bathing with her but he seems to forget to go on and explain her relation to him. Instead, he just reaches to help with getting her hair down. His hands may be big but they do seem quite gentle about not pulling on her hair!]
no subject
[Admittedly, it feels nice. It has been such a long time since anyone other than the mice have helped her with her hair. A lifetime ago when her title of princess was more than just a sentimental heirloom of her family line.]
We should move outside, so we don't leave a mess.
[As if they aren't both already dripping puddles onto the ground.]
no subject
[Since he made...most of it.]
Just enjoy yourself! Fun can be had even when wet!
no subject
That’s what she said?She frowns because leaving a mess isn’t in her nature but…]I suppose, I can assist in cleaning as well.
[With his assistance, they get to work wringing out her hair, and there’s a lot of it, the water making her normal bouncy curls hang so that, left loose, her hair reaches below her knees.]
…Who is Roxana?
no subject
[Is he grinning with pride while talking about his first wife? YOU BET HE IS.]
no subject
I am sorry for your loss.
[Even if he’s jovial about the whole thing. Some people hide sorrow behind a jovial facade.]
no subject
It's alright. I died before her. She went on to live for another fourteen years after I passed away.
no subject
[That’s right, they talked about his death before. But- Allura’s face scrunches up, confusion crossing her features,]
You called her your first wife. But if you died before her…
[Then did they separate? But he still spoke so fondly of her.]
no subject
no subject
[Oh. Her face turns red and her gawking is covered by a hand that curls over her mouth. Oh dear. Allura might be a little bit sheltered, considering all of her travels, but she’s familiar enough with the concept of polygamy from other cultures.]
Then… did you have a harem?
[There are warlords she’s heard of with such arrangements.]
no subject
I did not! That is a wonderful question though!
[Now he's grinning as he continues.]
I did have three wives and many lovers.
no subject
I see! How very interesting!
[Said too loudly, not making eye contact. Alteans weren’t prudish in the traditional, human sense, but topics of an intimate nature were mostly kept in privacy, not casually discussed in an open forum. It’s something she’s slowly come to acknowledge the more open nature of things in both Olympia and Wyver, but it’s still largely a foreign experience for her, one she still has trouble navigating.]
You must have been a very busy man- I mean, to court so many individuals.
[
It took at least a full movement of romantic tension before she kissed Lotor for the first time, but that’s complicated.]no subject
[He thinks about it and...]
I think that would be the benefit of forming a harem. I'd be able to have many lovers and to shower them with my affections.
no subject
[There's a beat as she catches up to what he's saying,]
Wait a tick- are you considering forming a harem now?
[What has she wrought...]
