[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.

[ It's not that he doesn't notice - you'd have to be completely deaf not to notice at all. But he rolls with it, waiting for his cue to come in with the intro, hoping that once he's started she'll feel less awkward about it. ]

I can't stop this feeling!
Deep inside of me!
Girl, you just don't realize,
What you do to me!

[ The Monster Mash isn't exactly a good way to showcase musical talent, but now that he's actually singing, he's... not bad, honestly. He's not Weiss Schnee, but years of campfire songs have given him ample practice in carrying a tune. ]

When you hold me,
In your arms so tight,
You let me know,
Everything's all right...

[ He looks to Emerald, holding his hand up to motion that she can stop. She's good! She did it!

Until the end, of course. ]


IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'M hooked on a feeling!
unhappy: (And loyalty I guess?)

[ What the hell did she agree to ooga to? This is a real love song isn't it.

Does this mean she's succeeding? He's serenading her, technically. Sort of. It's a duet, sort of. And once she can stop oogaing she looks like she's relaxing a little. Just as soon as she smiles at him it starts again though. ]


Why?! --Ooga, ooga booga, ooga chaka...

[ This is the most mortifying thing she's ever fucked up, she's pretty sure. ]
campediem: (but guys and gals it's true)

[ She's trying. That means more to him than any level of success she does or doesn't find - she tried. For him. It's touching, really, and as he finally hits the last notes of the song he doesn't even hesitate to turn and face her, trying to give her a big ol' hug.

Which doesn't pan out (hah! bread pan) what with their costumes and all, but the sentiment is still there, right? ]


You were great! I must be the luckiest guy alive!
unhappy: (Dear Cinder what has my life come to?)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-11-02 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
You are the first and last person I'm doing karaoke with, I'm not sure I'd count that as lucky.

[ That was really bad. Also this hug isn't horrible, but that's probably because the bread is protecting her from an actual hug. Bless this costume, it just makes it like they're running into each other and patting fake bread. ]

If I'm the only one, then that just means it's that much more of a treat.

[ Oh! ]

And speaking of treats, what do you say we get something to eat?
unhappy: (Ew.)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-11-03 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Here-

[ She reaches into her bread suit and pulls out a couple of ziplock bags, holding one out for him. ]

To take home. Most of this food goes to waste at parties.

[ She's just being responsible, right. Definitely not stealing. ]
campediem: (and that means i'm telling you)

1/2

Emerald!

That... is...
campediem: (where we can go to laugh and play)

2/2

[personal profile] campediem 2017-11-03 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
So smart! Now we can bring goodies to people who couldn't make it to the party!
unhappy: (I hate happy people.)

[ She hates him so much sometimes. ]

Knock yourself out. [ she'll be keeping her leftovers for herself unless he takes them from her. ]

We can be like reverse trick-or-treaters!

[ He hasn't caught on that she ain't on board ]
unhappy: (Those are lies and slander.)

[personal profile] unhappy 2017-11-05 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
You can be a reverse trick or treater, I'm just going to treat myself.

[ She's so not on board, David. It's arguments like these that make it all the harder to tell whether she's lying or not though, because she's still standing on principle that you damn sure shouldn't be giving away her food, you ziplock waster. ]
