[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 JUST MIGHT BE. But if Orihime doesn't even notice the crumbs on her own face, Usagi's rice flecks probably aren't going to be spotted. Orihime couldn't even be mad at such a nice and cheerful person anyway.]

Yes! I'm so glad to meet another appetizer master!

[She'll just try some of those fruit monster things, they're so cute.]

Woooowwww, your costume is so pretty! You got such a good one!
eternal_sailormoon: Usagi, hunched a little, looking down, blushing, touching her face like she's thinking (embarrassed blush)

[personal profile] eternal_sailormoon 2017-11-03 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww! Thank you!

[ She does a happy twirl, showing it off. ]

Minako-chan, my friend, picked it out for me! She's really the best at this, honestly. Everyone's said such nice things about it!

Um.

[ Looks at Orihime. She had such a cute face! And pretty hair! And.

And she had no idea what she was wearing. ]


Er.

... What is your costume?

[ Embarrassed, sheepish expression. She didn't want to sound mean! ]
leekspins: (Imitation)

[personal profile] leekspins 2017-11-05 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea, ha ha! There weren't many options left, so I decided to make the most of this one.

Honestly, it's not very funny, though.

[She folds her arms with a sigh. It might be a joke in someone else's world, but she really doesn't get it, and just combining two random things together doesn't qualify as true comedy.]

I'll just have to make sure to get my costume in advance if I'm still here next time. I'd like to be something exciting or cute!
eternal_sailormoon: Usagi looking rather blank, leaning forward, eyes wide, clearly not getting it. (what)

[personal profile] eternal_sailormoon 2017-11-05 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Head tilt ]

Is it supposed to be funny?

[ It looked kind of silly, she guessed. But.

Yess. Preparing for future costumes! ]


Oh yes!

There are tons of possibilities!

You could be an angel! Or a princess! Or a princess angel!

[ ... Usagi had a predictable reference pool. ]
leekspins: (Sheepish Grin)

[personal profile] leekspins 2017-11-10 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so. Chickens have been a staple of comedy for decades, after all.

[And that's how her logic works. But though she didn't really have a lot of high expectations for future Halloween costumes, she's starting to get excited just because Usagi is so enthusiastic about it.]

A-ah ha ha! You really think so? It would be fun to try...

[And yet, she still hesitates, since she doesn't want to draw a lot of attention to herself, or make it seem like she wants people to praise her for looking pretty.]

But I think you'd be much prettier in a costume like that! Your hair is really amazing!
eternal_sailormoon: Usagi, looking over her  shoulder, smiling wide, eyes closed, blushing hugely. Very happy. (happy blush)

[personal profile] eternal_sailormoon 2017-11-10 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Usagi's enthusiasm is contagious. Embrace it, Orihime! ]

Or you can be whatever you want, really! Even something else that's funny!

[ She grins, blushing a little, at the compliment, and giggles. ]

Thank you! I always wear my hair like this! It used to take me so long to do, but ...

... But I think you'd look really pretty, too! Your hair is such a nice color! You have such an adorable face! I think you could pull it off!

[ Her compliment is as genuine as it is enthusiastic. A statement of fact, not idle flattery. ]
leekspins: (Guh...!)

[personal profile] leekspins 2017-11-11 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Orihime is pretty easily embarrassed. She hears people talk about her looks all the time...and honestly she kind of wishes they'd tell her she's the most hilarious person ever instead...but when Usagi mentions the color of her hair, Orihime perks up a little.]

You really think so?

[It's her one vanity, and she can't help smiling a little.]

Th-thank you! I'm secretly proud of it. My brother always praised the color of my hair too.

[Which is why she likes it so much, honestly.]

Well, if we're both here next year, and there aren't any monsters to keep us really busy, we can go look for costumes together! It'd be really fun!
eternal_sailormoon: Usagi smiling, facing the camera, with a pink lace background (Default)

[personal profile] eternal_sailormoon 2017-11-11 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nods! She definitely seems honest with her praise. ]

Yeah!

[ And then grins ]

Your brother sounds nice. Mine usually just teases me for mine. Says I should have something shorter, since I'm so lazy.

[ Her tone of voice is fond, though. What was a twerpy little brother if he didn't give you a hard time, anyway?

Her face fell a little, just momentarily, at the idea of being here. For a whole year. Away from everyone except for Minako.

But she slapped a smile riiight back on her face. Now wasn't the time to worry someone she just met about her problems! She tried to cover for it, anyway, by pretending to be worried about the attacks. ]


H-hopefully no monsters! Ha ha!

But that'd be great - you, me, and - you should meet my friend - and maybe I can meet a couple of your friends, too - we'll make a trip out of it!
leekspins: (Daydream <3)

[personal profile] leekspins 2017-11-12 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sadly, Orihime will never have a chance to meet Minako. More's the pity!]

Yes, please! I didn't really have enough money to go on shopping trips with friends before. Once my business goes into full swing, I'll have more cash than I know what to do with. And I've always wanted to walk around in a mall with tons of shopping bags, wearing sunglasses and a fancy boa. It always looks so fun on TV!
eternal_sailormoon: Usagi eats, smiling, hand behind her head, eyes closed, like she's a bit bashful, but she's not blushing. (eating bashful)

[personal profile] eternal_sailormoon 2017-11-12 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not so bad if you all pitch in and buy things on sale and mostly window shop and wish and dream about things you could be buying if you ever get super-rich!

[ Mostly they ended up buying ice cream sundaes, but that was still a successful shopping trip, in Usagi's book! ]

But, you've got your own business? Really?

That sounds really glamorous!

What do you do?
