Halloween 2016

[Fisher]

Fisher frowned in confusion as the two essentially stormed off. She had not figured that two counter cultural types would be so...touchy...prudish when it came to lighthearted jokes that were not come-ons. They must be having more issues that they are letting on.

I guess I need to avoid them for the foreseeable future. I just can't win, she thought to her self with a sigh.

"Well, that sucks," Fisher said with a frown. "I guess they are pretty prudish...sorry...I didn't think they would be."

More socially awkward issues that were her fault...story of her life.

People are too complicated

"Well I would be happy to get a blowjob from you," she said with an amused grin toward Tuesday. She decided to put other thoughts regarding Star and Avis out of her mind.

"I challenge you to a dance off, mammal versus mammal!" she said in a playful manner. Hopefully that would help keep the mood lighter.

If Tuesday hands over the drink she'll drink it all in one go and head off to go dance if the unicorn is game.

[Avis]

"Why the fuck would I be leaving?" Avis snapped back, the impulse to let anger satisfy the rest of her emotional turmoil not even recognizable amidst the noise and chaos of the club.

"I said I was getting a tray," she reminded him, turning back to place her order only to find the bartenders busy tending to a stream of orders already...and no waitress nearby, either.

And where was her first order, anyways?

Fucking christ.

"I'm trying to do what you want," she snarled, whirling back on Star, "so why are you making it so fucking difficult?!"

[Tuesday]

The giddy feeling of giggling glee abruptly falls flat.

Or more like that moment in Cinderella when Lucifer's chasing the mice and crashes face first into the chair. Landing on his back in a moment of owe.

...okay so she knew spit swapping jokes were a no-no. But this was Halloween and they were safe. Their off-limitsness and Thingdom was well known. So the middle school styled funnies...seemed like a good idea.

But maybe not.

Considering. Well. Avistar was off...over there. And not here with her and the mustelid getting all laughy with the funnies.

"...prudish. Yeah. I totally wasn't thinkin' they'd. You know."

And jut like that Fisher had gotten another grin from the Siren.

"Well then...it'll be my pleasure to give you one." she says with a wink and the flourish she used to present Star with the rejected shot. "You know...I might wanna get one of those for myself. It looks tasty. Is it tasty. I bet it's tasty."

"...I'm up for some spastic flailing." grinning grin is grinned. "Sure! I'd be up to whooping your ass in a dance battle."

Following Fisher onto the dance fool and starts to spastic flail.

Hey. Gotta give the mustelid a chance.

[Star]

Yikes.

A lip edged up that would do Billy Idol proud as words spun out of the hamster wheel. Sure, the timing wasn't great, and, yeah, it's a mustelid instead Varyx, but maybe baby steps get you from point A to point B before that's a question again. And was it really his fault she'd come right out of the blue with '...would have but...' ?

"Ppppppbbbbbblllllllllttttttt."

The irritated words had to go somewhere. A tongue flapping between lips seemed like a good place. Strange, isn't it?

"Okay. First? You're totally owning Ma-Ma. Nice. You're killing it. Second? One of these days, we're both gonna have to yell in a, uh, situation but it's not now because, like, that's just going to make things worse. So if you want to be growl-y that's fine but I can't promise I won't start serenading you in response. I'm leaning towards Phantom of the Opera. I think I could nail 'Music of the Night'."

He exhaled. Now the real stuff.

"And I'm trying, too. To do what you want. So, I'm sorry if I messed it up. But I don't want to do it if one of us or both of us is growl-y about it? So. So, I'm going to go back there and, like, pretend that wasn't just a little weird and then I'm going to follow your lead. When you, uh, come back with the tray. Okay. I'm going now. Before I start up with 'You Are My Sunshine'."

And that was totally Number Four. One day they'd find out who could outlast the other: Snarl-y!Avis or Sing-y!Star. Long fingers brushed at a scarred forearm as the other signed before he dodge-threaded his way back to Mario and Luigi.

"Hey!"

That's right. Jack was going to spend all night in this club yelling 'Hey' at women.

"Sorry! You both, like, just arrived in the middle of, like, something." He grinned, bouncing. "You know it's Halloween, right? What is this? This isn't the right dance!"

Hands on the hips.

"It's just a jump to the left!"

He jumped.

"And then a step to the right!"

An Acanthus could have unwound those awkward minutes. An Obrimos? Settles for a Time Warp.

[Campanella]

"Well. They do say that Halloween is a time when boundaries blur and mystical veils are parted."

A certain gleam glowed in his own eye.

He let a silence develop between them, filled by their motion and the music raining down upon them. Part of this was intentional - he was back matching his steps carefully to hers and trying not to make an ass of himself. At length, he decided he could not keep up the pace forever.

"Perhaps we should mingle?" he suggested as he flowed, close and intimate, to his partner. "See what trouble we can find away from the dance floor?"

[Fisher]

Fisher eyed Avis and Star out of the corner of her eye with concern, but when Tuesday responded she couldn't help but grin broadly herself in response to it. She took the drink and downed it. The creamy liquid traveled down her throat and it wasn't long before she started to feel a little warm. She chalked it up to the bodies packed into the place and her movement.

"AH!" she exclaimed setting down the glass. "The was really good. Maybe I'll give you one later," she finished with a joking grin.

The thyrsus was quick to follow the unicorn to the dance floor and did a little flailing of her own. Fisher was actually impressed that she seemed to keep up with her horned equine cabalie, must be the alcohol.

When Star started to make his way over she gave the exit a quick glance like she was ensuring the path for the quickest egress through the crowd was clear. It was only a moment but she caught herself and quashed her skittishness and gave the man a nervous smile. She had intended to avoid them the rest of the night, at least and maybe a little longer, cause it was like a nest of vipers with those two. However, the young man's charm grudgingly won her over and she relaxed a bit.

She was an odd mix of relaxation from the drinks and dancing, but tense and fearful that she would say or do the wrong thing to set them off again.

"Oh hey," she said cautiously in response to his greeting.

"Um...ok. That's cool," she replied to his apology.

When he directed a dance change she thought that she would try to change it up a bit and follow his lead, to fit in, but it came out all wrong and awkward. She stumbled a few times and felt foolish.

"Must be the drinks," she lied with a small chuckle. She didn't wanna make Star feel bad that she was nervous for other reasons.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

The lack luster way the Dancer joined in the expressing the rhythm of the song showed Mhairi that maybe the Winter Queen only joined her because she was the Ascendant Sovereign. Which was...well. A downer. Almost enough for Mhairi to forget the dark eyes upon her back. Almost, but not quite.

"Oh. Uh-thanks." Mhairi was confused. She didn't think her Starfire getup was cute - was that how people saw her when she tried to be not cute? "You're-ah-you're costume's pretty. I-ah-I don't think I'd be able to-ah-to dance with those wings." Even if Mhairi still thought that Raiment would have been even more beautiful upon the Dancer.

Oh! Was it just that she was hot and weighted down with the layers of fabric, maybe she shouldn't have taken the Winter away from her water...should they drift over to grab it?

"No. I-ah wanted to since-ah-since Terri told me about it. But-this is the-ah first time I've been able to come." Mhairi answers with a wide smile. Looking around the club, Mhairi wished she'd ventured here sooner. "Yes! It's-ah-it's interesting and awesome and-ah intriguing. Yeah." an other smile and a nod. "I-ah-I totally want to come-ah back soon!"

[Aurora]

Her eyebrows raise in mischief, “Now I remember hearing about the before, yet another reason this is such a fun holiday!” though she did wonder how much truth there was to the statement. Maybe it’d be something to ask Truce, Death was kinda his thing.

She could have stayed on the dance floor all night. It wasn’t often she went out dancing, and just letting yourself go and getting lost in the music was perfect to her.

Faye nods, “Yeah, and you mentioned a drink before I kinda got lost in the music before. Sorry.” She says with a grin and a slight shrug. What could she say, she was having fun. Grabbing his hand she leads him off the dance floor. It was easier that way, more people were on the dance floor then when they started, so they wouldn’t get separated.

Finding an empty enough spot, “Ok, so drink or mingle? Or drink and mingle?” she asks. It seemed most of VT was in the dance floor.

[Campanella]

Campanella made a play of making a decision.

"Hmm. Mmm. Ah! Drink and mingle!" He gently guided Faye back to the bar and ordered some refreshment. "I'll let you decide where we head first. You seem more of a socialite than I." He added before he paid, gently pressing the cool glass into the Acanthus' hand.

[Aurora]

The Enchantress grins, raising the glass to her lips, eyes scanning the room. There was the blonde with the amazing angel costume, but she seemed occupied with another woman. The one from the Asylum.

“Hmm,” the only familiar…ish…face was Avis, who was at the bar. Star and the others were tearing up the dance floor. “If you don’t mind heading out onto the floor again, there seems to be a good gathering of some familiar faces out there. There doesn’t seem to be anyone else really just hanging out around the bar.”

Turning to her dancing partner she grins, “Think you can handle another swing on the dance floor with some of our associates?” she asks playfully.
