[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.

[He's not any less confused, and either he's too drunk to figure it out or not drunk enough to avoid the confusion.]

It's yours anyway, I can't keep it. [He smiles a little and shakes his head.]

Don't be afraid, it's good.

[He looks at his drink.]

I...yeah, sorry. I'm not that great at changing people's names. I kind of think of it and it sticks in my head. I can try and get better?

[She sighed as if she was annoyed and rolled her eyes, but smiled to show it wasn't actual annoyance.]

I just said I don't mind you calling me Larxene. Arelen's a boring name anyway.

You know the really really REALLY weird part? I would STILL give you my heart if it meant you got to have one. But not because I don't want it.

[She made a face, almost angry and disgusted with herself.]

Remember how I said I care about you before? I REALLY do. Like, actually for real. It's kind of grossing me out. [She handwaved.] No matter, I'd do it because I care.

Do you know what else I care about? [She pointed to him, then with her other hand, shoved the empty glass into his.]

Another drink. [Grin.]

It's not like my name's any better. [He rolls his eyes a little and sighs softly.]

Larx. [He groans because she's saying it again and how can he ignore it if she keeps repeating herself and he doesn't know how to answer.

And she's thrusting her glass into his hand and he sighs and obediently goes to fetch her another drink, choosing another mixed on, a sex on the beach. He brings it back and holds it out to her.]


Can we...stop talking about this? I don't know what you want me to do.

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-06 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. [She took the drink, sipped it, and made a scrunched face.]

Sweet! Agh! Wasn't expecting that. [And she's drinking it anyway because it would be a waste of alcohol.

After a few sips, she sighed, almost defeated.]


You don't have to do anything. I should probably shut up before I keep saying things I shouldn't be saying. Or doing.

Maybe I should go rest in the Employee Lounge... [She attempted to get up, and stumbled, almost spilling her drink, and sat back down.] Or you know... here is good. [Siiiiiip.]

I like sweet drinks.

[He grins, that'll teach her not to specify her order and make him her drink bitch. She's getting a lot of sugar if she keeps that up.]

Uh, okay, yeah. Let's just not talk about this.

[Sounds like a plan, but she can't get up and he sighs, sipping his own drink.]

Just listen to the music I guess?

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-06 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's not as good as your music.

[Arelen growled at herself, made a face, and downed most of the sweet drink.]

Sorry. I need to just... [She went ahead and finished the rest of it.]

Maybe I should just go home. I can... totally... get up and walk.

[And she slooooowly stood up, then took a tentative step, looking like (and feeling like) she was walking a tightrope.]

Totally. No problem...

[Except not. Those stilettos she's wearing sure aren't helping. Mayday mayday she's goin' down!]

[personal profile] melodiouspacifist 2017-11-06 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
I think.

[He's about to argue with her, but she's getting up and then she's stumbling and he moves, almost too slowly to catch her, but he does get his arms around her middle just before her hip hits the floor and takes the impact at least.]

I think you shouldn't drink anymore and find somewhere to rest!

[He doesn't know how to make her less drunk.]

[She clung to him, and put her head on his chest- partially because be wanted to, but mostly out of necessity to make the room stop spinning. With her free hand, she pointed to his face.]

I think you shouldn't drink anymore...

Mmmnnnnggg....

[She groaned and used said free hand to cling better onto him.]

I wanna go home.

Do I have to rest here? I'm sure I'll be- I'll be fine.
melodiouspacifist: (Default)

[personal profile] melodiouspacifist 2017-11-06 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not the one sitting on the floor.

[He points out reasonably.]

I...guess, yeah, 'cause I don't really want to carry you home.

[He looks around for somewhere he can drag Arelen to recover.]
savage_nymphxii: (03)

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-06 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmm... I've never been carried home before. They always just sort of... left me. Because [She changed her voice and pointed at the air.] "you can take care of yourself!"

I mean... I can. I'm NOT dumb. Hey Demyx? [And she's hanging on him again.]

Isn't there a room they said we could nap in or something? Maybe I jus- just need a nap.
melodiouspacifist: (Default)

[personal profile] melodiouspacifist 2017-11-06 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah because I'll hear the end of that if I leave you here drunk on the floor.

[He's pretty sure she'd tell him off.]

Uh, I don't know. Let me ask.

[He lets go of her, but there shouldn't be much of an impact now. He comes back after speaking with bartender and holds out his arms again.]

Yeah there's a lounge. Come on, I'll help you up.
savage_nymphxii: (04)

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-06 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not wrong.

When he comes back, she takes his arms, and adjusts herself to be practically on top of him as they walked to the lounge.

She nuzzled her head against him, so her voice was muffled.]


Thanks for helping me walk and stuff.
melodiouspacifist: (Default)

[personal profile] melodiouspacifist 2017-11-06 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He knew it.

He sighs a little and tolerates her clinging for the moment as he escorts her to the employee lounge and pushes the door open with a hip.]


You're welcome Larx...just...get some rest okay?
savage_nymphxii: (06)

[personal profile] savage_nymphxii 2017-11-06 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You're the best, you know that?

[Acting before she speaks as most drunk people do, she kisses his cheek then lies down on a couch, almost immediately falling asleep as soon as her head hit the cushion.]
