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.

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..."

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."

"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."

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."

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."
