Halloween 2020!

[Kaze]

Kaze grins as the red headed lady approaches and offers comic book lore! "Nice to meet you, 'Babs'!" He says. "Just call me, 'Clark'."

He smiles. "To be honest, I stopped reading comic books about the time I started doing sport, like about ten years old, so I don't really know all the story lines anymore. I just catch movies and tv shows sometimes. Supes is still my favorite, but I remember some of the Batman stuff. Commissioner Gordon's daughter, right? I remember she was Batgirl, but I guess that's all out of date now."

"It's a cool outfit." Kaze says, complimenting Jennifer on her costume.

Kaze catches the glowing green rock. "ARGH! YOU GOT ME!" He exclaims loudly!

He laughs, "Hey I thought you'd dress up as Daphne!" Kaze says to Skye. "I know you're a fan! Who are you dressed up as? What should I call you, not just 'demon lady' right? Call me 'Clark'!"

[Sonnie Wu]

Right out of a Japanese horror movie, Sonnie came stalking into the party as one of those Asian ghosts. Grimy old dress, pale makeup and long stringy hair covering her face. As agile as she was, the Beast was even able to do that creepy crawling on all fours with her limbs at odd angles.

To Fae eyes, her Mask was hardened, so her tail and other animal features didn't interfere with the overall look she was going for.

One wide eye peeked out through the long dark hair, glaring about as she emitted an eerie, creaking groan! "ArrrrkkkaaRRRKKaaKKrrAAAaaa..."

Sonnie coughed, "Ahem, sorry. Throat's dry. Someone point me to the food and drinks?"

[Cassandra Reeding]

"The struggle of fashion, isn't it? Gorgeous is often synonymous with uncomfortable. Still, absolutely stunning," Cassandra smiles and she gives a little twirl when Sera compliments her dress. "Thank you!" She wiggles a little bit, letting the dress flow with her movements, "It's really comfy and...!" She puts her hands into her pockets, "It has pockets!"

She laughs a bit when Gerrit approaches, though it takes a moment for her to fully recognize him with the hardened mask, and makes a dramatic gasp, "Oh my! Hey, Gerrit. Nice outfit." She nods and waves to Sarah as she walks away, "Thanks. Yeah, was going for that witchy vibe. If you see me in the woods, you should probably pray and then run." She giggles and then takes a long sip of her beverage, "You gonna get a drink?" She asks with a playful smile, "Do you think our friend, John, will make an appearance tonight? This seems like it would be his holiday." She looks around a little, noting that more people are appearing, which included Sonnie.

She gives a little wave over at Sonnie, "Wow, she looks so cool." ​She begins to wonder if she should have hardened her mask, but then... she never really liked doing that all that much. Felt like hiding too much of herself.

[Gerrit]

"Yes, Gerrit, correct." Did he just look for more excuses to use his "Dracula-Rs"? He did, and each of them felt great. "Well you did a mighty good job there Sarah." He took another moment to drive the point home. "Nah, I'm fine for the moment. But I reckon it's just a matter of time until John turns up - and if he doesn't that we should head out and see if he's all-right."
The last part was meant to be a joke but he knew that he could count on Cassandra if it came to that.

But that was Angst, this is Halloween!

The walking pop-art was stunning testament to that. He took the opening Sera created and added "Yeah, that must have taken you hours! Kudos!"

It took most of his composure not to outright clap at Sonnies entrance. This night just kept getting better an better!

[James Turner]

Halloween was Goth Christmas and Reverence was the place to be. He'd been to other places for their nights and Reverence had been on his list for awhile but he'd always been intimated by the weight of the place, like he wasn't good enough to be there. Part of that was true, he wasn't exactly in the elite, didn't have the connections for anything VIP related but at least he could get in without too much hassle. This was too big a location with too many people to take many chances with. He didn't know who might or might not be ensorcelled, what agents of the Others might be in a crowd this large, so he kept his mask firmly in place.


James has his own costume with some of his own additions to it, he had hospital tubing for oxygen tanks he had spray painted black in his nose and wrapped around to the back of his head though he didn't mess around even with any sort of costume weaponry. His first stop had been to the bar, passing around costumes of varying quality and some really original ones.


Looking down at the bar he saw the Alice and thought her costume was great but also having the hairs on the back of his neck stand up for some reason, a subconscious response. He took a second, he knew how this worked, he could do this. Seeing familiar faces in the crowd as he awaited his drink.

[Alice Hart]

Grabbing her drink she calls upon the Blood, and takes a drink. The tastes takes her back, back to Konrad, Madison and Jack. Gods that had been years ago, long before her eyes were ash.

"Hey!" Alice calls out over the music."Thanks, I needed help for the fine lines, but I'm glad it looks good!" she offers up a wide smile, it's hard and fake, "You can call me Alice." they didn't need to know that was her name.

Then the slithering voice, snaking under the base and stealing passed the living bodies.

"Oh hey you!" also forgoing the names, then to whomever is around, she moves her head in a half circle, towards the ones who are most likely to be involved with the conversation. "Good to see you outside of work!"

Another moment to enjoy her drink, "So! Someone's going to have to tell me what everyone's wearing!" She was curious, over her Priscus, Serpentine-voice Cursed, but modern in Domain Security, and the women who first called out to her, the voice sang, siren like upon her ears, cooing over the music and sinking deeply into her flesh. Making a golden echo-spark arch over her eardrums. What had each chosen to wear, to disguise themselves as? Was it a naming allusion like her? Something to do with aesthetics, or favourite things?

Alice was eager to know. And oh, what a strange sort of affairs this was.

[Seraphina]

Spotting the ghost, who looked familiar. Both from whatever movie, and her voice.

Quickly she waves to Sonnie.

Back to Cassandra, “Thank you! Though I do not get why people love these things, definitely not wearing again.” She laughs, then eyes widen, “Oh! You have found the mythical and difficult to find dress with pockets! You must share your secrets!” grinning.

Smiling to Gerrit, “Thank you so much!” beaming a bit with pride. She was quite proud of it.

“It looks amazing! I’ve seen some videos online about body paint, but have never seen it in person. What a great costume.” She gushed. “Oh, pleased to meet you Alice, I’m Sarah!” she seemed to know the other woman, with the costume she didn’t know.

Tell her what they were wearing? Oh! The ribbon on her eyes! She was really playing up not being able to see! Very cool.

“Uh, I’m wearing a steam punk inspired look with a leather corset and hat.” She wasn’t sure how to really explain it. But that sounded good. “How’s everyone enjoying the night so far?” she asks, upbeat as always.

[Jennifer Hazelton]

Jennifer blinked and took a step back as someone quickly comes up behind the Man of Steel. She relaxed as it was evident that this was a friend. Walking up behind someone was something she instinctively avoided, she realized. It was possible that this was a good friend to the one dressing as Clark, or perhaps even a love interest. She gives a polite smile to the woman when she remarks about interrupting anything.
“Oh no, not at all. Just commenting that Clark and I, Barbara Gordon, would know one another.” She smiles to Skye, her Curse asserting itself as her voice slithers out like a snake over dead and drying leaves. Jennifer trusts that the bandage explains some of this.

“You are lovely.” She continues to Skye, having appreciated the athleticism the other woman had demonstrated. “I like your unique look. Is it a specific demon from a show that I don’t know, or an Original?”
“Argh,” Jennifer grimaces at ‘Clark’s ‘comment on comic books, but gives a playful wink to show it was in jest. “– You wound me. No comic books! It wasn’t until I could get to a real store that I realized I had missed so much.”

The eerie, creaking groan from Sonnie did earn a look from Jennifer and a good-natured grin when she realized that it was not, in fact, something that should cause alarm. Calm down, Jennifer chided herself.
James’ arrival earns a glance from Jennifer. Then a second, longer look. Did she know that costume? She watched the man move to the bar. She felt like she should recognize that costume. It looked good. Jennifer gave a little nod to James.

“It is good to see you outside.” Jennifer agrees with Alice. “ It feels like all I have done is work. Its good to get out and get fresh air. Even if this one made me feel old.” She teases Kaze, giving a friendly smile to take the bite off and assure that she was kidding. Even her light banter was afflicted by the Curse.
“I went with the Barbara Gordon version where Joker paralyzed her and she became a crime fighter. Tonfa, white shirt that looks like I can kick ass, red hair…”

Jennifer smiles at Seraphina as she describes her costume to Alice. The other woman was honestly stunning. Jennifer felt a bit intimidated, and tried to push it back. Its’ not like she was competing with this woman for anything. Even if the Man of Steel was attractive. Decisively so.

[Skye]

Laughing an evil laugh.
"Moahaha the man of steel have fallen." Chuckling a bit "Nahh that would be a boring outfit, it's no fun unless you have the group with you or at least a Velma or Freddie but that would be a couple thing so unless you have spotted a date for me to spend a year to convince dressing as that so do I stick to my darker outfits." Smiling a bit "Even if I like the theory that Freddie and Shaggy are a couple." Not like the old series actually showed any romance anyways.

Looking at the woman with a look that clearly spoke that she had no clue who Barbara were.
"Thank you and sorry not a clue who Barbara is, love the outfit though and tonight is the night to dress as whatever you find fun or appealing." Looking back and forth between them both, settling her eyes on Kaze as she raises her left arm and slowly lets it fall down whilst pointing with an open palm at him. Speaking in a deeper darker voice, still her normal voice were not the deepest nor did she have any training for it so she couldn't get that deep.
"I am the moment of eternity
Your hearts, your tears, your lust
I am the well
The gaping abyss
I am blasphemy divine"
Yeah that were from a song but she did not have the voice range to even attempt a try to sing it, coughing a bit and going back to her normal soft voice.
"I am lady Baphomet and tonight my knight templars shall rise from the depths of hell to party and have some fun before I tuck them back in their beds." Turning her eyes back over to Barbara. "And no just an original design idea, I got the horns so I just decided on a Baphomet seeing as hen represents both male and female and the eyes is quite fun." If she noticed the voice so was it not something she showed at least. "I do know the Joker though." Who didn't?

Looking over all the new people coming and whom seemed to gather together.
"Lets go say hi to group." Moving over to the group of people. "Hiya, how have you been? Sarah was it right?" Where was that other girl though? "Haven't seen you since Cinco de Mayo how have you been?" Looking out at them all. "Hi all I am Skye or Lady Baphomet if you prefer." Smiling kindly towards them all. "Sorry though except for Dracula here so do I not have a clue whom the rest of you are dressed as." Looking towards John Edward scissorhands? Nahh that's not right oh well.

[Kaze]

"Oh hey, 'Alice'! Nice outfit and makeup!" Kaze exclaims! "So, I'm wearing a red cape, and blue suit, with a big 'S' on the front..." He describes himself for Alice's benefit.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your kryptonite, Barbara." Kaze grins at Jennifer. "I was a pretty hyper kid, I mean, I still am, but I am more into books and reading now. I couldn't handle holding still long enough to read, even comic books."

"I do not know that name, not at all." Kaze remarks to Skye with a chuckle. "It doesn't sound like one of the monsters the Scooby team took down though! Pretty creepy sounding, actually!"
