Halloween Party

[cityship]

Who knows why the ship was doing this. Maybe it was some kind of social experiment. Maybe Stacy was feeling festive and somewhere, out there, it was Halloween. Maybe the players just wanted to have Halloween fun. No one would ever know, would they.

In any case, what better place for a Halloween dance than a graveyard? In an area in the center, clear of headstones, there was a dance floor, and there were seats and tables with skeletal frames. Somehow grisly carved torches and jack-o-lanterns of varying sizes and shapes, cast enough eerie light to light up the place, despite the fact it was night. There were places to bob for apples, popcorn balls on strings strung up for people to try to eat for games involving that. The food tables will full of Halloweeny snacks and candy.

Far off, there was a haunted house, decrepit and foreboding. It seemed people could look into it if they dared sent down the dark trail to where it was. [ooc: Haunted house post link forthcoming].

Creepy--but danceable music was playing, from nowhere.

Perhaps most notable was the fact that the moment someone entered the Sensorium, they would find themselves in a costume. Sometimes these costumes would be what the character themselves would choose, but sometimes they'd be dressed as something strange, embarrassing, or just something they wouldn't even recognize. Leaving and coming back wouldn't fix the problem, in most cases. The costumes wouldn't change, and if they did, it wasn't guaranteed that they'd change to something better.

Whatever the case, party hard, Meatship. Somebody's got to teach the Vikings, draconians, aliens, and other sundry people to Thriller dance.

Costumes

[cityship]

You just walked through the door. What are you wearing?

Others can feel free to marvel over the neater costumes, oooor point and laugh.

Nunnally arrived in a standard witch costume -- black robe, black pointed hat, carrying a broomstick in one hand.

Lovely. Still, she had to laugh at it a little.

"...the holodeck gave me a Star Trek costume. Totally creative." Peter said with an eyeroll.

"--Ah?"

All of a sudden as he walked in, Duo felt a strange weight pushing down on his braid and head. Lifting a hand- which he now found to be gloved- up to his head, he discovered a tophat had been placed atop it. He took it off and looked it over.

Well, that was new.

He glanced down at himself, and though he couldn't see the entire thing, he could see enough- a red suit with white accessories (http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/Kitsoru/Gundam%20Wing%20art/duomadhatter.jpg)- a Mad Hatter, huh?

He grinned to himself and replaced the hat over his head. Not bad, he thought to himself. Not bad at all.

As soon as Kang stepped through the door, his usual armor changed to armor and robes of a different sort. Confused, he looked down at the cloth, "...well, I suppose it could be something worse."

No way.

No freaking way.

Ok, just for the hell of it she decided to come to this party. She ditched the uniform for once and figured she would just see what would happen if she strolled in her civilian stuff, plus the stupid suit Stacy made everyone wear. Why not? She could play along, and she kinda had to so no one would catch on.

Of course, she was not expecting this. (http://0.tqn.com/d/couponing/1/7/C/Q/1/hanna_32844.jpg) Stacy, apparently, has her own sick, twisted sense of humor to dress as her as one of the most annoying teen twits in her world, short skirt and all. Mortifying.

She kept playing with the hem, trying to not look as irritated as she felt, trying to get rid of the stupid microphone with no luck.

Damn you Hannah Montana.

essa liked Halloween. What was not to like? It was about death and monsters and tooth decay. She was perfectly find with such things. Even the decor was right up her alley. There were graveyards and haunted houses and everything.

But she felt uncommonly drafty upon entering the Sensorium, and bee lined for a mirror.

There are something that shouldn't make a demon scream, but right now there was a strangled noise coming out of Alessa's throat, and she's suddenly very grateful she was in her older form, but only a little.

This (http://www.andpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/l_c985c10c5fe89ff17143365337bb3676.jpg) was, by far, one of the scariest things that had ever happened to her.

Jr. was only half-surprised at his "costume." After all, his casual wear back home wasn't too different, he borrowed ideas depending on what he felt like wearing. A duster, boots or chaps. He wasn't ridiculous enough to wear a hat casually, though, he wanted to be taken seriously (while still feeling cool).

So when he looked down and saw what he had on (http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h236/cfudyzak/t9/917836c6.jpg), he smirked.

"Not bad!"

Billy was fairly lucky. He wasn't assigned a dress!

But he wasn't entirely lucky. He wore another universe's strange engineer uniform with a pair of head-goggles replacing the mask. The whole ensemble left him curiously exposed.

Frowning, he tugged on one of his gloves. "I'd guess that this isn't intended to be practical. It looks rather dangerous to me," he grumbled.

Obviously the universe had a weird sense of humor, as Ed arrived wondering just how this would turn out when he was suddenly clad in a suit of plate armor complete with sword (in foam). Still, with the glowing eyes under the helm, he made one very... short... Lich King.

[starbolts]

Starfire, perhaps unsurprisingly, is in an old Earth favorite---sexy wildcat-girl! This one has appropriately printed fur, soft ears, long boots, and a tail that moves as a real cat's would.

Floating past the entranceway, she turned one of her 'paws' up for inspection and had the briefest of urges to lick it. She hadn't even tried the candy yet!

"Hello," she waved to passersby, quite a bit friendlier than most kittens.

Re: Costumes

Wanda stepped into the sensorium and her dress immediately changed to...

The Scarlet Phoenix? Wait... hadn't she had a dream like this before?

Re: Costumes

"You have got to be kidding."

The moment Tenaya walked into the Sensorium, she found herself in a very long, low-cut black dress (http://www.addamsfamily.com/addams/morticia5.jpg), tight-fitting and with a hem that spread across the floor like a shadow. And, oddly enough, her hand had detached, staying with her in a cigar box hovering along her side.

Of course, nobody would notice that she was missing a hand, since the Sensorium had helpfully provided a solid holographic one. Weird, innit?

"How am I supposed to walk in this thing?" Tenaya Addams griped, trying not to trip in her too-tight dress with its ridiculously long hem.

Rein had arrived in full mode, much to her surprise since she had been tiny just a little while ago. She had a second to be surprised before the changes overtook her and there she stood, a small blue haired girl in a school girl uniform (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lucky_Star_main_characters.png).

"... do do do do do do do do do. Pop. Pop." hummed Rein reflexively as her expression slid into a kittenish grin as "Konata" began to mingle.

Sofia's costume must have been pulled from her subconscious mind, since it was the same outfit (http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac197/daimsferatu/sofiadream.jpg) she had been wearing in her nightmares, complete with wings. ...Well, At least she looked sexy.

She just hoped lightning was not going to strike her from the sky and rip off her wings. Damn that dream.

Re: Costumes

Negi was half dreading that he was going to be put in drag. Again. Like everything that seemed to happen to him.

But the outfit swept over him and he looked down at his long swathe of red flame-tipped hair, the horns across his unruly head and the long dragon-like tail.

A well suited Negi stood there (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/shaungarin/c97cba7138ac08c03ac4fd491257e9dbe000d22e.jpg) and he was actually surprised about this for once.

"I don't look half bad..."

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

Fate... was wearing something totally embarrassing (http://i56.tinypic.com/8ywcjq.jpg). She just wanted to check out the Halloween party, to see how the ship would be celebrating! She wasn't expecting to be forced into something she would never dream of wearing in public.

And, as if the Sensoriums was purposefully trying to mock her or something, the ears and tiger-striped tail seemed to be reacting to her mood. So anyone passing by might notice her fluffy new ears pressed back against her head, and the tip of her tail twitching in distress.

Katara was always up for a party, and this was no exception: judging by how the others were dressed though, she figured the Sensorium was going to throw her in some insanely revealing thing, or at least something with an air of elegance.

Instead, she found herself in this (http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.78135102.jpg) costume, gloves, goggles and all. Who was she supposed to be anyway?

Re: Costumes

Matt felt... bigger (http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab52/TotalAnimationFreak1991/Melody%20The%20Witch/Shagon.jpg), for the lack of a term. It was just a costume, but the long black wings stemming from his back and the golden mask, coupled with the outfit made him feel, well, dangerous. Deadly.

Something about the appearance though made him pause at a lingering memory about it.

"I guess I'd best mingle," muttered Matt, his voice metallic behind the mask that he couldn't remove.

"Oh hell no," growled out Ben as he found himself dressed in a blue suit (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mJ4lc_Q9Q6k/RtgzJcaQGkI/AAAAAAAAHMQ/bscmdPxra7Q/s1600-h/beast10.jpg). "This is totally not me. I know how to change that."

He fired up the Ultimatrix and hit it, and in a flash of light he proclaimed "Raaaaaath!"

Yeah he was. Rath in a suit.

"Rath's not thinking this is such a good idea anymore!" proclaimed the tiger-man loudly.

Daimon had been dragged- literally- to the party by a young woman who called herself Sofia. His dog had followed him, its tail whirling- also literally- at the sight of all the new people. Maybe it was the presence of his dog that gave Stacy the idea. For the no sooner had he entered the room than he found himself dressed as Dorothy Gale from the Wizard of Oz.

"BY THE HADEAN CHIMES!"

Kate walked into the party, and paused. Funny, she felt a draft. She then glanced down at what she was changed into (http://ryanlb.com/images/dc/blogsize/huntress-jimlee.jpg) and yelped. Those shorts were really...short. Ok, the mask and the cape was nice, but yikes!

Bobbing for apples

[cityship]

It's exactly what it says on the tin.

woops

[thewunderkind]

Someone might have to tell Lash how this game works, as she was just casually reaching for an apple with her right hand. Free food!

Popcorn balls on a string!

[cityship]

They're at various lengths to account for various heights. Try to grab a snack out of mid-air! (With your teeth). (Without getting the caramel on them all over your face).

[diabolic-ace.livejournal.com]

Hayate was there, in her laughable but moe tanuki outfit (http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/220194/3girls-absurdres-animal_ears-bed-bell-blonde_hair-), floating in the air to nibble out those apples with ease.

Yes, Hayate is a cheating cheater who cheats, sometimes.

Dancing

And a step to the right, of course. Gabriel is intimately familiar with the Time Warp.

However, watching someone try to do the time warp in a giant, fuzzy dinosaur outfit (http://www.jrj-socrates.com/Cartoon%20Pics/Nick%20Toons/Rugrats/Reptar_300.gif) might merit some help. Or a snarky comment.
