[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.

Somehow, in spite of her answer, it seemed as though she had some doubts, there; or perhaps misgivings about how she felt, herself? In fairness, she was barely removed at all from the incarnation she'd traveled with, and he knew it could be... jarring for his friends to adapt to a new regeneration. Perhaps when he'd seen her with his previous face, distance in time had made it a little easier for her to accept, or at least given her more time to process her own feelings.

He returned the slightly bittersweet smile. After all, if she felt things had changed, he knew it without a doubt. But whatever it was that had changed, he'd meant what he'd said... and he had mixed feelings about prompting her about that trace of apprehension, so instead he reiterated.

"Absolutely. For me, definitely, I know it does for Sandshoes--been in his head, after all, used to be mine--and I haven't a doubt, for Old Man Time, either, not about that."

He nods in the general direction of his older self, at the "Old Man Time" bit. Whatever he's unsure of when it comes to that regeneration (and there's quite a bit), he's 100% certain that the way his friends stick in his hearts doesn't go away from one face to the next.

She snorts, "I suppose the names will do for now." Sarah glances at Twelve and she shakes her head before smirking playfully up at Eleven, "But I am glad there's still a bit of silver up top again."

There were no doubts. She'd had a year to sort things out, plan and react. It was easier, somehow, to meet the face after the regeneration. So it wasn't a face change, it was something...oh something a little bit deeper than that.

"I think I prefer Eyebrows to Old Man."

"Euhh, don't really miss it, myself."

The Doctor makes a face at the talk of silver up top. He's got no intention of turning old again any time soon.

"...not to say I've no... nostalgia, mind, or fond remembrances, but..."

He trails off, just sort of half-grimacing.

"Oh don't do that. Nothing wrong with nostalgia. S'long as you don't go and get buried in it and forget what's on now or what's ahead." She does laugh at his face and gives him a much softer smile, nearly like the one's she shared with Four and Three once upon a time.

"Just remember when you can, right? Don't forget and look ahead. S'what I do. Unless I feel lazy or Harry's something else planned."
spacepeterpan: The Doctor is amused (grin)

He huffs a little at her admonishing him for being down on being an oldy-oldster, but brightens quite a bit at that fond smile--then a bit more at the mention of Harry.

"...ohh, Harry, blimey, now there'd be a face to see, here, eh? Just think, he'd be so... perturbed."

...well, not much has changed in terms of the Doctor's mix of fondness and urge-to-noogie-furiously, when it comes to Harry. He shakes that train of thought off and flashes her a smile in return, even if there's a hint of a bittersweet quality about it.

"And don't you worry. One thing I never do, forgetting, not a moment."
