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. )

I don't think we'll be able to put many people there.
flask: (and i cough up my lungs)

Well, I mean, we can probably use the snack table too... How many assassins— Wait, I mean, [ahem] are you questioning your queen??
ayes: (pic#11471757)

N-no, ma'am! I'm not questioning anything, ma'am!

--it's, uh... advice! I'm an adviser!
flask: (id see it in a different kind of light)

[Nott perks up, her goblin ears twitching in interest.]

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.]
ayes: (pic#11471766)

[Hm. Interesting question.] Well, if they're not doing really bad things, we could just have short sentences!

Like... five minutes?
flask: (keep your secrets with you)

[personal profile] flask 2018-11-26 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.

[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.

My queen, I don't think that most people come to these parties with a lot of money on them.

[Though, since it's Halloween.] Oh-- I know! How about they can pay off their crimes with candy!
