[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.
eternal_sailormoon: Usagi, frowning a little, eyes wide and concerned, one hand raised, clutching her own sleeve. She stands in the snow. She looks sad for you. (empathy)

Y-yeah, that does sound ... confusing ...

[ A smile flickered at the pun, but. Two different versions of you appearing? After falling asleep and seeing visions of home?

... Some of the things she'd seen were just as weird, but it was still. Strange.

She frowned a little, thinking about it. ]


... And you'd rather be here, than at home?
solar_flare: (Worried)

[personal profile] solar_flare 2017-11-05 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly? I'm not sure which I'd prefer. Back home, things are tough, and here...not so much.

[She shrugs, smiling.]

But I'm here, not there. And there are a lot of friends here I don't have back there. So I made up my mind that I'm going to appreciate what I've got right now instead of kicking myself over what I'm missing.
eternal_sailormoon: Usagi with a serious expression, looking from the side into the camera, dead-on (serious)

[personal profile] eternal_sailormoon 2017-11-05 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ ... Usagi could admit that she preferred things to be easy. She'd wished to forget what she was once, after all. She'd thought a simple life would be better. But, she'd learned that just because things were tough, it didn't mean they weren't worthwhile.

All the same, though. She thought, there may be something to be said, about making the most of where you were. That was a different kind of tough, wasn't it?

She looked at Yang, feeling the determination she'd had since arriving swelling in her. ]


I still want people to have the option of going home.

So they can choose, and if they need to take a break, and be with friends here, they can.

And, if they miss their friends and family, they can return.


[ And then she broke out into a goofy grin ]

But but have you tried the sushi at the food table because OH MY it is the best thing ever, Yang, you need to try it.
solar_flare: (Happy)

[personal profile] solar_flare 2017-11-05 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah?

[This girl reminds her so much of Ruby, it hurts. If her little sister were here, it would have been her birthday, so Yang's felt tiny pangs of homesickness all day. Being around someone like her, though, makes that pain a little less real.]

I gave it a pass since I didn't want any dance partners to catch a whiff of my fish breath. But if you're saying it's that good, maybe you can pick out a few pieces for me to try.
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 2017-11-05 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll get you some, then!

[ Usagi beams, bounces on the balls of her feet a little. See, this was a much more appropriate conversation for a party. ]

One or two or three pieces won't make your breath too fishy! And I can always see if they have some mints or something too, that might help you out!
