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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.

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.

...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.

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?

[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.

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.

[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.

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.

No, not at all! It was unexpected, nothing more.

[Athrun scratches the side of his head, feeling awkward.]

I'd rather people not make such a big deal out of it, anyway. It isn't something I take pride in -- just something I did and something I know I can do if I have to.

*Sonico nods but still feels a little guilty that maybe she didn't respond in quite the right way. Still, she looks up, confused and thinking maybe she didn't hear him right*

You're not proud of it...?

[Athrun gives a casual shrug.]

I'm not ashamed of it, but not really proud, either. I'm not the kind of person who flaunts his accomplishments around, nor do I want to be. I believe I did the right thing, and that's enough for me.

*Sonico smiles at that and bows her head in quiet agreement*

That's a very nice way to be.

*Then she finally picks up the last cookie on her plate and bites into it*

[Athrun notices it's Sonico's last cookie. He's on his last cupcake, himself.]

How about a dance once we finish off our plates?

*Sonico looks up suddenly from the plate and brushes the crumbs off her fingers. She casts a look out at the dance floor, her expression uncertain for a moment. But then she nods*

Okay. Yes. And I'll try not to be as bad as last time.
