Costume Party

WHO: Open!
WHAT:
Costume Party

WHEN:
10/15/2016

WHERE: The Castle Royale Hotel, Genessia City.
WARNINGS:
None.



The event space in the Castle Royale Hotel in Genessia City was decorated for this event. Fake cobwebs and skeleton decorations hung up among the many other different types of Halloween decorations. It took several hours to get it all decorated, but there was a decent amount of help in doing so. A DJ (Who is wearing a big bear costume) has been hired to handle the music to get people in a dancing mood.

The genre of music ranges over all types, but there was some Halloween themed music sprinkled in there to just set the mood when no one was hitting the dance floor. The event officially starts at 5PM, but the doors themselves open at 4PM. Though at that time, things are still being set up, but you won't be asked to leave if you decide to sit around and wait for it to start.

There is a minor police presence with GCPD staked out at the entrance way that leads toward the event space.






Refreshments Table

The refreshment table has many things to satisfy your sweet tooth with, many different kinds of cupcakes, fruit cups, lots of different types of cookies, caramel apple bites, brownies. There are plates and such at each end of the table as well as napkins. The catering service will constantly be refreshing the table as it gets low on food.

There are even many Halloween themed drinks. There are more traditional party items like fruit platters and the like scattered among all of the delectable food as well. There is a bar set up along one of the walls in the room with a bartender standing behind it for those looking for a more alcoholic type of beverage.





Tables/Balconies

The tables among the ground floor and the balconies have all been decorated in a similar manner as the rest of the place with Halloween themed tablecloths on each table. There are small electronic, battery powered candles on each table. There is no actual flame on it, instead it is just a light shaped to look like one.



Dance Floor

The dance floor doesn't have anything spectacular different about it. There is a small, light fog that coats it thanks to a fog machine just on the outside of it. Lights are hung above it to be used when the lights in the place go dim. The fog isn't so thick that you can't see your own feet, though.

*Sonico started to pick a few bits and pieces onto a plate, then carried it carefully over to a table. She put the plate down, then sat carefully, smoothing her skirts*

I love how much effort has gone into this party.

I don't think there would be much point to holding a party without going to a lot of effort.

[Athrun has limited familiarity with smaller, more intimate parties. Due to being raised in an upper class atmosphere, formal gatherings are what he knows best.]

More than anything, I'm glad that the food tastes good. I don't know about you, but I've been to a few parties with bad food. It tends to ruin the whole experience.
sonicosuper: (Super Ooh)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-19 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose... But if all parties were as extravagant as this then there'd barely be any parties at all. Not that I go to many...

*It isn't as though Sonico doesn't get invites to things - house parties or club nights or whatever. She just usually doesn't have the time or confidence to you*

You sound as though you go to many.

*She vaguely recalls a conversation they had at the ball, about his station in life*

It must be nice to get lots of invites to parties like this.

[A bemused expression appears on Athrun's face. He can't help but watch Sonico's face.]

Not really, no. Once in a while, sure. And I don't always attend each party I'm invited to.

[If anything, he's the exact opposite of a socialite. He's not very good with people.]

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-20 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't you enjoy parties very much?

*Sonico finishes the cookie she was eating, then looks at Athrun again, tilting her head a little*

Don't tell me it's because you work too much.

*She smiles, teasing lightly because she knows that this is a problem they have in common*

infinitejustice: (Thinking)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-21 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It depends on who else is around. I tend to enjoy parties more when my friends are attending them, too. That way I know I have people I can talk to.

[Her teasing remark gets him to raise his eyebrows, at least.]

I could ask you the same question. But...sometimes. If it's a major project I need to do. Other times, I'll leave work sit to go to the party, but that's usually so I can meet specific people.

*Sonico smiles softly then looks at her plate, trying to decide on which snack to eat next*

So how do you feel about this party? Is it keeping you from your work or are you enjoying yourself?
infinitejustice: (Smile)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-22 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm enjoying myself. There are plenty of people here to talk to, including you.

More importantly, what about you? Are you enjoying yourself?
sonicosuper: (Super Huh?)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-22 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I'm glad to hear that you can go out and have a good time.

*She wasn't sure if she was more important, but she smiles softly anyway*

Yes, I suppose so. I just...things like this are not...what I'd choose to do. But since - ah, well, never mind...but I wanted to do something fun with some kind of celebration.

*Since, after all, she had done nothing for her birthday the day before*
infinitejustice: (Eh?)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-23 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[That was an interesting answer. It piques Athrun's curiosity so much that he has to ask about it.]

Not what you'd choose to do? And what do you mean with a celebration?
sonicosuper: (Super Huh?)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-23 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah - 0h, it's nothing.

*She lowers her eyes and blushes gently, waving a hand dismissively*

Yesterday was my birthday. That's all.

*She just..hadn't told anyone*
infinitejustice: (Huh?)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-23 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[If nothing else, that gets Athrun's eyes to widen. Why didn't she say so before?]

Ah, I wish you had told me that, I'd have done something for you! Uh, happy belated birthday!

[He has to do at least that much.]
sonicosuper: (Super Huh?)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-23 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
*Sonico looks a little surprised when he says he would have done something. She shakes her head with a small smile*

It's no big deal. But thank you.
infinitejustice: (Thinking)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-25 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I can understand not wanting to make a big deal out of it. I haven't told anybody here when my birthday is, either.

[He pauses for a second.]

October 29th, by the way.

[Might as well be fair.]
sonicosuper: (Default)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-25 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
*Sonico just nods quietly in agreement at his statement, pleased that he understands and isn't making her feel bad about it*

Oh! That's soon! And...I guess you don't like making a fuss either?
infinitejustice: (Default)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-26 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. I tend to prefer keeping a low profile.

[Makes being famous easier on him.]
sonicosuper: (Super Huh?)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-26 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

*Sonico wonders if that's a normal thing for someone in a higher position in life. She picks up a marshmallow ghosts and eats it thoughtfully*

So long as it makes you happier, or if it makes your life easier. That's the main thing, right...?
infinitejustice: (Thinking)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-27 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'm...how do I say this...recognizable.

[Understatement of the decade.]

And I'm also a private person, so I prefer to not stand in the spotlight whenever I can get away with it. Which, yeah, makes my life easier.
sonicosuper: (Super Ooh)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-27 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Recognisable?

*That was an interesting way of putting it, and it took Sonico a moment or two to figure it out*

As in...famous? Hmm...no wonder you'd prefer to keep things quiet about your life.
infinitejustice: (Tired)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-27 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...I don't like to call myself that, but yes.

[He doesn't like being famous, even if it's for something as noble as saving the world twice. He'd much rather live the life of an unknown private citizen.]

Living here has actually been somewhat of a relief in that way, actually. Here I'm indistinguishable from the average joe.
sonicosuper: (Super Ooh)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-28 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Not famous, but recognisable. So, if you don't mind me asking, what are you recognisable for?

*Sonico watches him carefully for a moment as she tries to figure it out. So far, her guesses are his family, or something to do with science. She pouts a little at his next point and slowly shakes her head*

Here, now, that's not true. Everyone is distinguishable in their own way. But...I understand what you mean. No one knows who you are the way that people back home do, hm?
infinitejustice: (Melancholy)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-29 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Athrun doesn't object to other people using the term. He just tries to avoid using it himself.]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Here, my reputation is plenty obscure.

As for what, well...

[Deep breath. This is difficult to explain without sounding like a braggart.]

...Basically, I'm something of a war hero.
sonicosuper: (Default)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-29 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, a war hero.

*Sonico watches him for a couple of moments, nodding her head in understanding*

Well, that's a very good and noble thing to be famous for.

infinitejustice: (Huh?)

[personal profile] infinitejustice 2016-10-30 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Athrun had turned his eyes back to his food, but he turns to look at Sonico again in surprise after hearing her response.]

...I have to admit, that isn't the reaction I was expecting. Most people seem to be surprised to hear about it.
sonicosuper: (Super Huh?)

[personal profile] sonicosuper 2016-10-30 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh - I'm sorry.

*Sonico glances down at her plate and fidgets with a couple of candies*

...should I be surprised? I hope my reaction didn't offend you.
