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. )

More frequently lost than they admit.
Takasugi sighs, and raises his hand for another helping of the liquor before him. His isn't gone - he'll offer the new set to his companion.] Is it?
I'm not eager to buy their story.
And I'm not going to thank some haughty Amanto- [Aliens.] -for their interference.
Framing it as charity makes no difference. [There's honesty here too, because Takasugi has no reason to lie, and no capacity to hide his hatred for creatures of the stars.]
no subject
What do you plan to do on this planet then, if you're not interested in helping them?
[He's not sure if he's actually ever seen Takasugi doing anything constructive, really.
He doesn't touch the drink, not because he doesn't want it, but because he doesn't realize it's being offered.]
no subject
He's not one for being constructive.
Destruction is Takasugi's bushido. He'll shatter anything in front of him, all while he watches the foundations of the world rot.
Though he intends to deliver the final blow himself.] I'm not going to stay here. I don't care how long it takes, I'm going back to Edo.
If there's a storm out there, I'll take care of it. [As if it's a chore.]
no subject
And how are you going to do that? The Natha claim the storm's not something even they with their advanced technology can deal with.
[Again, assuming there is one. Which he's frankly just as dubious of as Takasugi. It seems like a convenient excuse.]
no subject
[Not that Takasugi was out there slaying it, but he had confidence that some of his companions could have taken care of the thing themselves. The Natha only intervened on behalf of their ego - of their power over the planet - so far as he's concerned.]
Are you planning on helping them? [Circles back to the original question, as his fingers curl over the brim of his glass.]
