Caritas- Post I- Saturday before sunset

[throughaphase]

Well, Fandom, you made it through the two weeks of spooky weirdness and nothing bad had happened! Obviously that meant you were in the clear and it was time to celebrate!

(The time for other stuff would come in about an hour.)

Caritas was decked out for the holiday, with the lights lowered more than usual (but not so much that it was hard to see, Kitty was a pro) to focus on the orange string lights, and certain areas were alit in blacklight to add a creepy feel. Even the zombies were dressed up, and every once in a while Tino would press something that would make it sound like a wolf was howling somewhere in the distance.

Enjoy the party! You know, before things get interesting.

The zombies were dressed as the Beatles, and under strict orders to play things besides Thriller and Monster Mash.

They still played Thriller and Monster Mash.

Wayne was not dressed up, but he was completely blue, because someone decided he would go back an' give that pedestal hatchet a try.

So now he was blue, and it looked like he was going to stay blue fer a while now, and if that didn't call fer a much needed Puppers, he didn't know what did!

Lotta blacklight happening here. Enjoy the effect of people's teeth.

Back Room- Party [Post I]

[throughaphase]

Where the bulk of the party is happening! There were moddable snacks, but really you were all here to mingle and see each other's costumes, right?

Kitty was playing hostess today in back instead of at the bar, and at least for a little while, had Lexi with her. She wasn't old enough for trick-or-treating and way too cute to not have a costume, so Kitty figured that they could show off their Little Bo Peep and lamb costumes before Lexi went home to a babysitter.

It was dorky and adorable, shut up.

It was Silver's fault. And telling people how it had happened would get Rey "uh huh"ed at forever.

She'd at least negotiated a cheap tiara instead of the giant hat, and Annie had been happy to come over and work her pageant girl magic, which meant her hair was curled, and she had glittery makeup, and Rey was learning what fake eyelashes were while also not understanding why they were at all necessary when she already had eyelashes.

So yeah, this was happening. Enjoy Rey in fluff and pink while you can.

Summer had had her Halloween costume figured out and planned basically since the start of October, and she was pretty thrilled to show it off, so she was there nice and early to get the party kicked off with her hair down, a big ass sword strapped to her back, rocking out her full Fulgora gear and, like, totally rocking it, too.

Well this was Rey's fault. This was a cowboy with a crutch but we can all pretend he had some horrific cow rustling incident happen to him.

He was clutching a glass of rum to his (bare) chest and looking around for anything fluffy and pink for no reason whatsoever.

Diego stopped by the party after work, kitty ears on and everything. He didn't know why one of the troopers had eyeliner on him but he did take up his suggestion and drew on a little nose and some whiskers on his face with it.

There. He was now as cat like as he was gonna get.

Annie had taken all of about five minutes to line her eyes, draw on a nose and put on some black lipstick once she had finished making Rey into her glittery masterpiece, but she was still feeling pretty good about her costume.

She was both surprised at how incredibly cozy her costume had turned out to be - hood and all - and vaguely self-conscious of the fact that her skirt was shorter than she would normally allow (even as Starlight.)

Rosa had a beer and a ridiculous Bo Peep costume and, at the moment, a look that was just daring anyone to say anything about it.

Lucifer hadn't had the greatest interest in Halloween to begin with. The past few years, it'd been worse-- the holiday mostly made him think about Uriel, and it wasn't exactly a topic he needed on top of everything else he had to angst worry about at the moment.

But he was bored and lonely and well, there was a party. So he was showing up with his biggest grin, a fancy dark purple suit, and a pocket square with a comic book print.

See? It was a costume. Fancy nerd.

Maybe he could even work up the enthusiasm to find someone doing a cleavage-forward take on a porg costume or something.

Tony had, of course, done that gross couple thing and picked a costume to match with Steve's. So, he was a genderbent take on a possibly familiar character. Mostly because Patriot was with them, dressed up as a mystery solving dog.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

Jaskier was still a little fuzzy on who his costume was based off of, but it was remarkably comfortable, so he wasn't about to complain. Also, it didn't need tulle or glitter, thankfully.

Re: Back Room- Party [Post I]

[stykera]

There were not a lot of costume options that worked particularly well when you always wore a mask over half your face. Or over the half of your face that wasn't there, anyway.

But there was one costume that was perfect for the man who always wore a half mask, even if he'd already worn a similar one in the past. So Stark was there in formal wear, a cape, and with his mask carefully colored in white for the day.

Well, as someone who either worked or spent the day with his kid on Halloween, Danny was going to do his level best to enjoy the fact that there was alcohol and no crazy serial killers wandering around.

Or ghosts.

Look, Hawaii had ruined the holiday.

He took the Diego route for his costume of a cape and vampire teeth with his normal clothing.

Duke wasn't usually one for Halloween costumes. Or any costumes, really. Especially when he wasn't trying to cheer up his repressed girlfriend. But then he'd happened upon a simple little raccoon costume set, and, well.

So he was here, wearing a mask, ears, and tail, and keeping an eye out for his actually-a-raccoon snogon.

It was a couples costume. Get it?

[heroic_jawline]

Steve, Tony, and Patriot were Those People Who Dressed Up as Theme--this year Steve was rocking the turquoise pants, Patriot was a mystery solving dog, and Tony was gender-bending the redhead.

Steve even had a beer--though he was mostly keeping an eye out for a corgi trying to solve the mystery of snacks that had been left in corgi-eating distance.

Re: Back Room- Party [Post I]

[grenadesandohana]

Steve, apparently keeping up the Trooper Station tradition of absolutely half-assing this costume thing, was dressed as a surfer: no shirt, loud boardies, slippahs, and his own board.

He was freezing.

Hmmmmmmm.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

On first glance this appeared to be an adult-only party but, like, that was not going to stop Nina from sidling on in for a short bit of time while wearing her Moogle costume just so she could take pictures of the adults.

What?

Nina had her priorities straight.

[sith_happened]

Anakin--unwisely--had allowed his children to pick out his costume for the party, which was why he had dog ears, a tiara, a doctor's labcoat, and a tutu on.

He was Princess Doctor Puppy Ballerina, okay. A totally real thing.

Re: Back Room- Party [Post I]

[okteiviakom]

There was a raccoon at this party, yes, scurrying around people's feet.

Look, the allure of all the snacks had brought Octavia here. Especially the ones careless people dropped on the floor. Easy food!

Re: Back Room- Party [Post I]

[firstofitskind]

Guess whose wife somehow managed to convince him to go along with an absolutely ridiculous couple's costume???

Spoiler alert: it was Liam's. Because here he was, dressed as an astronaut to Verity's... Martian? Moon-person? He didn't even know what she was supposed to be. Certainly no alien he'd ever met, anyway.

(She did look cute in the get-up though, not that he'd admit that out loud.)

OOC [Post I]

[throughaphase]

I was going to say I'm not doing anything for Halloween buuuut I newly have a dead guy('s ashes) in my home so who's really getting into the spirit here?

Re: OOC [Post I]

[stykera]

I mean, that's commitment to the season right there.
Also it's Saturday but time is meaningless.
