Halloween Party

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.

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!

That yelp pulled Billy straight to her side. If they were going to be teammates, they'd have to back each other up when trouble came.

"Kate? Are you all right?"

And so was Lash!

"...well I guess I shouldn't complain now." At least she had pants.
morphitudinous: (Silly)

((only 'cause I have to go to bed now-ish))

Whoa, Lash, when did you get here? Billy blinked at her, then took in the costume. Wow, Stacy wasn't being kind to them today---but they were both very pretty. Should he say that and risk getting into trouble?

He settled for a shy smile. "I guess the ship's goal is to embarrass us today. It looks like we'll have to play by her rules if we want to stay," he sighed.

"Hey Billy, Lash, uh, yeah... I figured on a costume change. Just not one..." She tried to tie the cape around her waist so it was like a skirt.

"That's so short. And well she succeeded on the embarrassing."
thewunderkind: (Thinking - Very hard)

Re: Costumes

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2010-10-29 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Lash looked around and pointed to someone. "Maybe we could steal that bed sheet from whoever that is over there and give you a longer dress..."
thewunderkind: (You've got to be kidding me two-eyes!)

Oh wait better correct herself.

"Borrow. I mean...borrow. For a prolongated amount of time."

"But will they be able to cover themselves without the sheet?"

Billy looked down at his own costume, seeing if there was anything he could offer. The odd plate that covered his stomach? No, it was molded too tightly and hardly the right shape.

They could ask for the sheet, but it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility for the ship to take it away. "I don't know if the Sensorium will allow that, but it's worth a try."

He knew how uncomfortable it had to be. It wasn't right.

The cape wrap around was sort of working. Barely.

Kate replied, "I think I'm ok now with this. Better than how it was. I mean there's a reason my outfit included leggings, and even those Ranger suits cover much more than this."
thewunderkind: (Emo - Surprised)

Re: Costumes

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2010-10-29 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've had my share of short outfits in the past but at least they had leggings." She was a bit disappointed that there would be no stealing borrowing going on that night, but perhaps it was for the best.

"At least it looks pretty neat?" she offered, pushing up her own yellow glasses. "The four hundred pounds of hair they added to mine feels like my face is just going to peel off at any second."
morphitudinous: (...what in the name of)

[personal profile] morphitudinous 2010-10-29 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Billy glanced at Lash's braid, imagining how heavy it must be. "Stacy wouldn't let anything happen to your face, would she?"

He sighed, pulling on his gloves. "I'm just hoping this is the worst of what Stacy has in mind for us."

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Kate studied Lash for a moment, "I hope it doesn't give you a headache at least. And I guess it is, she's not changing the costumes or anything."

Lash might have pouted a little.

"This sucks. I guess we'll have to make the most of it."

Jamie had heard the yelp, but it had taken him a bit longer to get across the room. Trying to maneuver in his outfit is proving to be a bit tricky - mostly because he doesn't want to smack into people with the shoulders.

"Kate? Is everything alright?"

Re: Costumes

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2010-10-29 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Kate turned to him, "Jamie?!" She then clamped a hand over her mouth to hide the smile forming at his outfit.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just Stacy surprised me a little with this. It's really short." She was now trying to tie the cape around her waist as a skirt.
thewunderkind: (Joy)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2010-10-29 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeaaaah that laughter you heard from the shoulder pads most certainly didn't come from an afro girl dressed in a suit.

Then again, her teeheehee laughter was pretty unique. Sorry Jamie. That costume was...something else.
bonnypiperlad: (hrmph3 (in color!))

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-10-29 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Aye, it's me." While he doesn't pick up on the hidden smile, that familiar teeheehee catches his attention. That's the second time that Lash has found one of his costumes funny, and he looks rather grumpy for a moment before moving on.

"She seems to be very fond of that tonight," he replies, quite glad that there's at least bottoms along with the space-suit - even if they're short too. "I'd not say yours is so bad, though - either of yours." Yes, you too, tee-hee girl.

"Maybe Stacy'll give ye something longer if ye ask for it, though?"

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ok Kate did have to giggle a little, "I could try, but this is ok with the cape tied around now. I don't know how anybody can crime fight in this though."
thewunderkind: (Laughing - LOL)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2010-10-30 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe they just want to be really comfortable" Lash replied, shrugging. "...in a really tight outfit, teeheehee!"
bonnypiperlad: (seriously?)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-10-30 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, not Kate too. Jamie closes his eyes a moment, begging silently for some other outfit. Any other outfit. Stacy doesn't seem to want to oblige, however, so he gives up and goes back to the conversation.

"It's not so bad for it, I don't think. The cape might get in the way, but ye could ye it as a distraction if ye needed to." It occurs to him that the exposed midriff doesn't seem to have much in the way of any actual protection, but he can't say as he minds the effect. Much better than his...whatever this is.

"Do either of ye know what you're supposed to be, though?"
thewunderkind: (Thinking - Very hard)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2010-10-30 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Lash shrugged. "I honestly have no idea. Maybe a special agent of some sort?" She looked down at the exposed midriff, the knuckle hand things and the rather unique tie-stuck-in-boobs getup. And the heels! "Then again no agent would want to wear these..." she clicked her heels, trying not to trip over too much, "...and be seen in public." Then again there were people like Nell. But at least she wore a full outfit in addition to her heels.

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2010-10-30 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
At least she's used to having a bare midriff with her own outfit, though that likewise sucks for protection in that regard. And sorry, Jamie, but she did try to hold her own laughter back? It just didn't work out too well

Kate remarked as the giggles finally died away, "Oh it's definitely a superhero outfit, that's obvious. Kind of reminds me of Mockingbird, especially the mask since I wore one like it early on. But I think this one's from that other world maybe with Kon, Paco, Jaime, Nightwing, Starfire, Beastboy, and others."

bonnypiperlad: (curious)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-10-31 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
His glance flicks back to Lash, and Jamie studies the outfit for a moment - although he politely avoids looking at the tie. She's got a point about it, and he nods. "I would think ye would want to blend in if ye were an agent, which I'd not sure ye could in that. Those yellow goggle-things are a wee bit distinctive."

He can't blame either of them for laughing at his outfit, really, as he knows he might very well have done so himself if it was on anyone else. Maybe that's the whole reason Stacy is dressing people up like that, to embarrass them? But...Kate's reaction seems to indicate her costume is fairly normal in her universe, and he's a little curious about that. "Do superheros always dress like that, Kate?"

[identity profile] nothawkingbird.livejournal.com 2010-10-31 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Kate then explained, "Well not exactly like this maybe? But some women heroes? Yes. I mean, my own outfit has a top similar to this one. But I have leggings and boots with mine. Not this leotard set up."
thewunderkind: (LOLZ)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2010-10-31 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Seriously?" Lash can't help but laugh again. "I'm sorry it's just...it seems so...impractical."
