[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.

[She doesn't mind him adjusting her dress, and smiles at him.]

I don't know what you mean by "beer goggles," but if it's what I'm assuming, I always thought you were cute Shinjiro. And the headband is a nice touch.

[She then makes a face.]

Water... I should probably drink some. You're right...

Shinji am I attractive?

[Her make up is obviously smudged and fading, but now she looks sad. Have fun with this one.]
mortal_son: Shinjiro's eyes are shrouded, and he doesn't look amused. Three dots appear on the icon. (dot dot dot)

[personal profile] mortal_son 2017-11-02 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Frowns a little. ]

You don't need t'make fun.

[ But he's not angry about it. Arelen teases. It's what she does. ]

One very large glass. The bartender'll give ya one. No charge, even.

[ Not like the drinks had cost anything either.

Shinjiro's a little startled by her question. And here he had been thinking she was a friendly drunk. Maybe she's more like him, and gets maudlin?

He frowns more, and wishes he was. Well. Anybody else, who'd be better at this kinda shit. ]


Uh. Don't think you really gotta ask me that.

Just watch all the eyeballs in t'room.

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-02 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not looking at me. My head hurts... I'm going to... sit...

[She stumbles a bit and slumps slowly against the wall to the floor.]

It's okay if you don't think so... that'd be weird if you thought I was pretty. I'm not a good person.

[The emotions took a complete 180, but that's to be expected with her inability to process emotions when SOBER.]
mortal_son: Shinjiro, with just one eye closed. How exciting! (one eye shut)

[personal profile] mortal_son 2017-11-02 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's cause the whole room is probably spinnin for you. You can't see 'em.

[ Shinjiro tried to slow her descent, attempting to prop her up. ]

Let's find you a chair, how bout that.

[ He really hoped she didn't get sick.

Sighed. ]


"Pretty" is a word I'd use for someone with ringlets and sparkles, and long dresses which get in your way.

I might use "kick-ass" and maybe even "terrifyingly hot", if I was that kinda guy, which I really ain't.

I like my kidneys without knives in them, thank you.

[ Sarcasm was the easiest, non-embarrassing way to express affection, didn't Arelen know that?

One arm around her waist, he tried to guide her towards a few chairs, not too far away, along the wall. ]
savage_nymphxii: (04)

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-03 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... a chair would be GREAT.

[She leaned against him for support and put her arms around him, no longer really flirting, but still more affectionate than she would normally be. She also had a smirk now.]

"Kick-ass" and "terrifyingly hot" are perfect. I wouldn't stab you, though. Not unless you REAAAAAALLY pissed me off.

[Arelen groaned and dug her head into his arm, muffling her voice.]

I think the whole room really IS spinning.

[Once they made it to the chairs, she plopped onto one of them, narrowly missing her head against the wall.]
mortal_son: Shinjiro wearing his second default expression in the game: stoic with his eyes shut (eyes closed)

[personal profile] mortal_son 2017-11-03 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
My internal organs are real relieved.

[ He's careful as he helps her into the chair, and watches her head carefully. Shinjiro's guessing she'll be enough pain tomorrow as it is, without an actual bruise on her noggin.

Sighs. ]


... I'm gonna get you a glass of water. Don't go nowhere.
savage_nymphxii: (08)

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-14 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah yeah, I'll be good and sit here while you can be my knight in shining armor.

[She handwaved.]

I won't... [She yawned.] I won't go anywhere. But I won't listen to anyone else and if you [Pointing very obviously at him.] tell anyone that I'm listening to you, I might actually stab you even though I said I wouldn't.
mortal_son: Shinjiro, with just one eye closed. How exciting! (one eye shut)

[personal profile] mortal_son 2017-11-14 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ World-weary sigh. ]

... Right. I'll getcha your water, and if anybody asks, I'll tell 'em you never listen to a word I say.

[ He goes up to the bar, and flags down the bartender. At least the service here was very good. And, he didn't get any grief about ordering a water, either, so more points for this place not being run by a jerk.

Shinjiro returns to Arelen with the tall, cool glass. ]


Drink it slow, got it? And if you've gotta be sick, aim away from me.
savage_nymphxii: (13)

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-15 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

[She waited, rolling her eyes at anyone who passed by, until he returned with her water.]

Like I'm gonna be sick in public. I look good no matter what I do.

[She sipped her water.]

Except no one notices. Stupid bastard idiots. All of them! [She almost spilled the water, but thankfully didn't. Instead she sipped more.] Except you, you're good. You're not a stupid bastard idiot.
mortal_son: wide shot of Shinjiro with his default stoic expression, crouched slightly, hands in pockets (default pose)

[personal profile] mortal_son 2017-11-15 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He leaned on the wall next to her, casual, as if Arelen's inebriated sprawl in the chair was the most natural thing in the world.

Shinjiro glances down at her. ]


No shame in it, y'know. Or, if you need me to, I'll get you to one of the bathrooms, fast.

[ He sighs. ]

Plenty of people are noticin.

Maybe not the right people, but.
savage_nymphxii: (08)

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-12-01 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. As long as I'm sitting. See? [Lifts her glass.] Drinking the water.

Right. Noticing. I don't even see the wrong people noticing. Because at least I can have a little fun.

[She put the glass to her lips and mumbled.]

And then feel like shit afterwards.

[After sipping more water, she gave a frustrated sigh.]

I want my heart Shinjiro... I really do. I just... UGH I just hate everything that comes along with it!
mortal_son: Shinjiro sitting against somewhere, looking out of the frame, holding a bottle of pills. (pills)

[personal profile] mortal_son 2017-12-01 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

[ Keeps an eye on her all the same.

Doesn't say anything in reply about picking up random people. He figured, she could do whatever. Just as long as she didn't hurt herself.

He drawls, quiet, but still loud enough for Arelen to hear: ]


Nothin good comes without some kinda catch.

Fortunately, noticing how shitty havin a heart is, means you can 'preciate how nice it is, too.
