Homecoming Carnival- Post II- The Park- Friday, October 23

While the booths were fun and all, this was where the gothic disco theme really shone. The decor was heavy on three things: 1) black, 2) spooky, 3) shiny. And while you might not think those things went together, allow Student Council to prove you wrong. There was even very minimal glitter so you know they're serious. (It was an impossibility to keep all glitter away from homecoming, it sort of just migrated there, sentiently.)

Diego snorted. "This is like if your house got haunted by the Bee Gees."

"Terrifying," Annie said, shaking her head in dismay. "There's a Stayin' Alive joke in there that I'm not going to make."

Except she kind of had.

Diego groaned. "I don't know if I should be rolling my eyes or be jealous I didn't think of it first."

"I'll leave all the dead-as-disco jokes for you," Annie promised, just as a sparkly ghoul popped out at them.

And okay, it was mechanized and making little whirring sounds and not scary at all, but it startled Annie enough that there might have been a little yelp.

Diego laughed, squeezing Annie's hand. "Oh no, a ghost from Studio 54!"

The hand-squeeze kind of made her want to keep pretending to be scared. Shhhh. "I don't know that that's not worse than a regular ghost," she pointed out.

“It’s probably on more cocaine than a regular ghost,” Diego said. “That would definitely make it worse.”

"I feel like you need to be corporeal to do drugs," said the chick who had never so much as lit a cigarette, so what did she know? "Unless you think they like, died with coke in their systems and now they're coked out foreeeever."

Yes, she said that last in a spooOOOOoooOOooky voice.

"Cursed to forever be jittery and paranoid--Jesus!" Diego was not proud of the way he jumped when another stupid skeleton came out of nowhere.

Annie snorted, reaching up to pat his arm with her free hand. "It's okay, that one seemed like a real threat," she assured him, clearly holding back a laugh. "We just have to tell ourselves it's not real."

"Jump scares are cheating." Yep. According to the haunted house rules that everybody knew.

"Then I think most haunted houses are cheating," Annie told him in an undertone.

At least, it was an undertone until another stupid mechanized ghoul popped out, and she made a noise that didn't sound entirely unlike, "Eep!"

But, you know, with dignity.
