Staff Meeting - Caritas [After Classes] [It's 5 o'clock somewhere]

[bigdamnprincipal]

So, it was Halloween, it was the end of the month, and Zoe had spent way too much of this week dealing with the school board. That was why, early in the morning, Zoe sent out an handwavy email telling the faculty that this month's staff meeting would be at Caritas instead of the school.

Zoe was already at the bar when people started showing up, working on her second beer and watching Tino and his t-shirt gun carefully. "Have a seat, get something to drink, and talk business if you want to. Or we can just make sure we're all still staying afloat," she said. "If you accidentally find a t-shirt, it's yours to keep."

The Perk, Friday Morning

[bitten_notshy]

Jack was not in Halloween costume today, but the ermine with him was.

... look, when your girlfriend went and turned into a white weasel for most of a week, you had to entertain yourself somehow. And the hilarity of the costume was completely worth the many nibbles and scratches to the forearms Jack had gotten putting Emma into it. (A "Doo-Wop Girl," whatever that was, wouldn't have been Jack's first choice for a costume, but it was surprisingly hard to buy one that fit an ermine. Anyhow, it was ridiculously adorable.)

Emma sat on the table while Jack got breakfast, sulkily pouncing on muffin crumbs and quite possibly plotting her revenge.

Dite's Decadent Delights, Friday

[myownface]

Best holiday ever, or best holiday ever? Sparkle loved Halloween, thank you, and not just because he got to dress up and egg people's houses.

Well, also sometimes because of that.

But today, he had to work. So he'd busted out the platform heels, the corset, the fishnets, the feather boa, and more make-up than he usually wore, and he was rocking the Sweet Transvestite look. Shamelessly so. The rooster had been dressed up in a blond wig and a pair of little glittery gold shorts to match.

If you asked him nicely, he might even strut and sing for you while he handed out free condoms. And they weren't even pumpkin spice flavour. He'd made certain of that.

You're welcome.

The Devil's Nest, Friday Evening

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

After two years on the island, Allie had a decent understanding of what Halloween involved. She'd left a bucket outside her door and had stuffed her pockets with candy to distribute to the kids she'd seen as she made her way to work.

It had been an enjoyable evening.

Until she got to the bar and saw Tiny's costume.

Allie sighed and settled in with her back to the bar. It was going to be a long night.

Fast Eddies; Friday Night

[theheadkid.livejournal.com]

If he'd been home right now, he'd probably have gone out with Hatton, wandering around in a bad costume while small children raced past him and their parents caught sight of his scar and averted their eyes. So, a very typical Halloween!

But, Travis wasn't home despite having thought of heading there earlier today. In the end, it just hadn't seemed worth it so Travis had found his way to Fast Eddie's for the first time. It wasn't anything like Arnie's Arcade and Travis suddenly really missed the Retro Room. But, his prayers were answered when he stumbled upon Space Invaders.

Travis put his hands on the controls and took a breath. He remembered his past panic attack at the controls of this game very vividly and didn't want that to happen again. But, the game had to be played. It had to. His name wasn't notched across the high score board and Travis wanted to correct that.

He plunked a quarter in the game, listened to the familiar music get started and went to work. 29601 was a daunting score but he knew that it wasn't impossible to overcome. Travis' fingers curled comfortably around the controls and he took a breath.

God, he hoped he didn't have a panic attack.
