[You'll Be Caught In The Night - After Life Halloween Party]
Who: Everyone
What: Halloween Party
Where: Nova City - After Life
When: 4 PM October 31st to who knows how early of November 1st
Warnings: B for boos and booze. Also Gale is there so that deserves a warning in itself. Is spooky.
----
Welcome to After Life. The entrance of the Nova City nightclub has the additional illumination courtesy of a purple neon bat to welcome the party goers, which that little bat seems more inviting than the almost ominous fog coming out of the front doors. Just beyond the door are a variety of glowsticks, should one feel so inclined to equip themselves with them for the night. The varying colored glass tables are trimmed with fake cobwebs with little spider lights illuminating from beneath it while at each table's end has a jack-o'-lantern of different carvings with color changing LED lights inside. The club's colored strobe lighting reflects off of the club's crystalline walls to help lend to the atmosphere in an almost eerie manner, even adding additional color to the fog hovering over the floor.
As the party begins, Gale makes a special introduction to the ladies who helped make the party possible- Yang Xiao Long, Ayame Sasaki, Gwen Stacy and Mikaela Banes. He wouldn't let the party go on without the much deserved recognition for them.

Food and Refreshments
The bar area has a variety of different foods and snacks for people to enjoy. Brownies, cupcakes and truffles from local confectionaries and other, less sugary options like jalapeno poppers, mummy hot dogs, garlic bread snakes, deviled egg spiders, salsa and dipping sauces with bat chips, dragonfly sushi and spooky fruit monsters are laid throughout the table. At the far end of the table is a little animatronic black cat with glowing green eyes.
Looking for something a little heavier than just snacks to eat, in case you missed lunch? Available to you on another nearby table are shaped pasta with varying sauce options, monster burgers, four different bento boxes, and snake shaped calzones each labeled with different pizza toppings for the stuffing. Yes. A few have pineapple in them. Please do not start a war in Gale's club.
There are various labeled cauldrons of non-alcoholic drinks such as water, punch and soda are on the table while other available are drinks such as mixed soda and punch floats and milkshake shots are there. All of the glasses on the table all have googly eyes attached to them. Also on this table is Gale's Cubone, wearing a tiny vampire cape and patrolling around the cauldrons. Don't even think about trying something funny or trying to spike the drinks, because Cubone will smack the culprit's hand with his bone and start wailing to lure the host over. Just don't even do it unless you want thrown out.

Bar Area
Need a beverage of the alcoholic variety? You'll want to visit the local alchemist over here. Overhead of the bar where the drink glasses hang are little bat lights that occasionally flicker and the cobwebs are lined around the edges of the circular bar counter. A pumpkin with the carving of a butterfly sits on the counter top with a flickering purple light within it. Drinks from the bar will be served in beaker and vial glasses.

Dance Floor and Stage
That stage up there sure looks inviting, as if it's just waiting to have one of its musical guests come on stage and steal the show for a short time. In fact, it's very much encouraged to do just that. While the stage is without a DJ or other performer, a preset playlist of the club's usual music as well as a list of Halloween music will cycle through- just be ready for the Monster Mash to play several times during the night. A skeleton is set up near the speakers, and it seems to 'dance' in time with the music. Up above the stage is a web with an animatronic spider that comes down from its web occasionally with flickering red eyes.
If you look closely through the thin veil of fog on the floor, you may notice reflective decals of monstrous footprints leading to the dance floor, as if trying to hint and lead the guests out to get their dance on. But party goers beware, there may be an impromptu dance to Thriller at some point in the night, and your host may judge every single one of you if you don't get in on it.

VIP Room
The VIP Room is a little less rowdy than the main area of the club, and is meant for a more chill atmosphere compared to the rest of the party. The room has its own stage for anyone to take over separate of the main room, but beware, this stage may have its own different kind of horror: Karaoke.
The tables here also have cobweb and spider lights around them and the lights in the room are a little dimmer, to accommodate the rotating bulb that casts shadow creatures on the walls of the room. You may want to come here if you want to eat an actual meal in peace without all the buzz from the bar area.

Employee Lounge
VIP Room not calm enough? Asking Gale or another After Life employee will grant you access to the employee lounge so you can have a little rest on the couches. The only drinks readily available in here is water over on the counter. The noise from the main area is completely nullified in this room. The party goes on all night, don't be afraid to take a breather.
Guests under 16 will receive a small bag of candy for attending, while guests 16 and older will receive some drink coupons to use at any of the three Gale Force club locations.

no subject
[But she does like it when he's bad. So there's that.]
[Yang squints at him for a long moment, trying to discern his meaning. Obviously she assumes he means the obvious, but after a moment of study, she realizes his gaze is a little higher than the ragged lace of her gown's neckline. And higher than her eyes.]
...If you promise to be gentle.
[Her shoulders hitch as she gives a little roll of her eyes and smiles back at him.]
First time and all.
no subject
[ His fingers draw near to the golden locks - he'd gotten away with flicking a couple near her face before, but this was different. One wrong move and he might end up going over the edge of the roof to find his gag glasses after all.
Oh well! No risk, no reward. ]
Always.
[ His hand lowers, fingertips ghosting a path down along her wild mane, combing carefully through her hair with all the focus and care of a neurosurgeon. In spite of his sarcasm, he's clearly trying to be gentle. It's not something he's used to - normally when his fingers are in hair, it's to pull, not to stroke. Not like this.
His hand returns to the top of her head to repeat the process.
It ain't half bad. ]
no subject
[But it's pleasant. As his fingertips trace backward from her brow, it makes her scalp tingle, and at the end of his path, she shivers.]
...haaahhh...
[She grins, her cheek tipping toward her shoulder as she releases a shaky breath at last. Okay. That wasn't bad. That was pretty nice, actually.]
[Though she doesn't relax, exactly, she leans into his touch the second time, welcoming it.]
no subject
What do you know? I don't destroy everything I touch.
[ Another test - he leans his head down to press his face lightly against the top of her head, lips planting a kiss there.
She never said he was allowed to do that.
So that might have been a mistake.
But this is a night of going big or going home. ]
no subject
[It comes out as more of an incredibly content sigh than reassurance, evidence that she's very pleased with the overall experience, and she opens her eyes to smile at him. And wink.]
I'm sturdy enough to handle you any day.
[She doesn't expect what comes next. She's blinking at his chest as her head tips forward, and feels a light pressure on her crown. Two more blinks, and she's staring up at him from beneath her lashes.]
[She's also blushing like a schoolgirl.]
[It's as if he's telling her that her hair is under his protection. Sure, he didn't say it, but that's what she's taking from this, and her heart skipped more than a few beats. Slowly her grin starts to return, and she gives one steady nod. Acceptance, approval, whatever it is, the sweetness of the gesture reached her.]
Relationship uncancelled?
no subject
[ He might never fully understand Yang's incredible overprotectiveness of her hair, but he knows that she is absurdly overprotective of it, and so he can comprehend the weight of giving him permission to touch it. ]
So...
[ He gestures to the veil. ]
Would you mind sharing?
no subject
[She unshoulders the sword and sheath, handing that to him first.]
Go ahead and put that on, and I'll pin the veil on. Just tip your head down a little.
[The withered roses rustle slightly in her grasp as she centers the accessory on his head of silvery gray hair, sliding the pins in with as much care as she's take if it were her own head. It doesn't take all that long; if he's not planning on thrashing his head wildly around, it should stay in place.]
Woooowwww... Mercury Black, you're beautiful!
no subject
Why, I'm going to be the prettiest boy at the ball!
no subject
Oh, no contest. I should have brought my communicator to get a picture of this.
[She'll have to ask that Prompto guy downstairs. Yang reaches out to straighten the veil and make sure it doesn't get snagged on the hilt of his sword, and it hits her again...they're actually dating now. She doesn't have to worry about coming on too strong, or whether or not she should ask him out...]
[...Well, no, she realizes. There are still some timing matters she'll have to keep in mind.]
Hey, so...I know this is probably new for you. And honestly it's kinda new to me too.
[She grins, thumbing his chin.]
So I'll let you set the pace on this for the most part, and follow your lead. Don't be afraid to tell me to pull back if I'm racing too far ahead. You know how I am.
no subject
And here I thought we were getting hitched already. I was all ready to sit down and pick out a venue, too.
[ There's a pause, before a grin tugs at the corner of his mouth, and he lifts one hand up to lightly flick the center of her forehead. ]
Don't overthink it. We'll wing it on the fly and adjust as we need to.
no subject
[She swats his hand away and rubs at her forehead. Rude.]
Sounds good to me. I'm kinda excited!
[Yang settles a hand on her hip and jerks her head over her shoulder.]
So...ready to head in for our first dance as a couple?
no subject
You better not go easy on me.
[ With a playful twinkle in his eye, of course. ]
no subject
[Her fingers thread through his without hesitation. It's just as exciting as it was the first time, if not moreso now that she knows where they stand. She affects the same smirk he loves to wear so often.]
You wish!
[She tugs him along toward the roof's edge and peers down. They're not going to bother with the fire escape, are they? Not with his legs and her ability to tuck and roll.]
