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.

The look on the (rather short) young woman's face was certainly confused. But that could probably be directly attributed to her costume. (http://media.photobucket.com/image/sylvanas windrunner/bluinkalchemist/sylvanas.jpg?o=18/)

Wow, who was this warrior? Catgirl Starfire was happy to begin an investigation.

"Hello," she greeted, 'paws' briefly waving in front of her. "Is this the tradition of scaring other partygoers with your might?"

Star could do that, she supposed, but she didn't quite look the part.

"No," Maydril said. A smile was probably the last thing anyone expected to see on the face of Sylvanas Windrunner, the Banshee Queen, but there it was. Maydril was far more smiley.

"I am not trying to scare anyone, really, but this is what Stacy put me in, so here I am. Though I do know how to use a bow," she said, looking at her accoutrements. "I am not certain this one works, though."

"Stacy would not allow anyone to be hurt," she trailed off, amending that statement. "Unless it was beyond her control." Which had happened many times.

But beyond that, the girl smiled too. "You would be well liked on my planet! Our warriors would be glad to have you," she gushed, cat tail swishing back and forth in thought.

"I would be honored!" Maydril exclaimed. "Does your planet have many warriors?" Servryn did, though it was just a continent, but a continent full of Knights...

"I hope this is well under Stacy's control. I would not want anyone to be harmed at what should be a celebration."

"Yes, it is our strength that binds our culture together," she explained. "Our enemies are fierce and unrelenting, so we must be this way also."

Not that most of the ship would have guessed that was the case with Starfire as their example.

"I would not either, but I will protect if I must." The kitten has claws. "I hope she allows us to enjoy ourselves without interruption."

Well, there was no reason at all why you couldn't be happy while you kicked butt. Cheerful and fierce. Starfire was an exemplar of that, and Maydril was certainly a student.

"That sounds familiar. Though the Uthmuri have not come from the mountains for over four centuries, now. I doubt there are any here, but still." May actually prayed there weren't.

"It might be difficult without a real weapon, but I still have my magic," she said. "Though I agree with you, and hopefully this can be a happy time."

"The Uthmuri? Were they invaders to your land?"

Starfire's more than used to that concept. The Gordonians had destroyed so much.

"Are you interested in any of the games?"

"They were. But they were monsters, and monstrous. The Knights drove them back over the mountains, finally, but it took armies."

Uthmuri sort of defied description. One of the easiest was was something like "two parts behemoth, three parts Lovecraftian Shoggoth," but not everyone knew who H.P. Lovecraft was. Or what a Shoggoth was, for that matter.

"That or dancing!" she exclaimed.

Tromp Tromp Tromp Clank Clank. "Hey, nice costume," rumbled Ed, his voice impossibly deep and echo-y. "Must be easier to move around in than this get up."

And he waggled the foam glowing Frostmourne in his hand.

"Yours covers more," May said. Her voice didn't have quite the echo of Sylvanas', but Maydril was all of fourteen, and far more enthusiastic than the Banshee Queen would ever be.

"That is quite the sword though!" she said, looking over it with some awe. Even if it was foam, Frostmourne was an impressive blade.

"Yeah I like it too," said Ed with a grin under that hat of his. "I'm surprised it's made out of foam though. I guess Stacy doesn't want me having a pointy object."

"Nor I, though I have certainly had them in the past." Especially since Stacy allowed her her sword.

"Maybe it is so we do not accidentally hurt others," May said. Not that she'd ever accidentally hurt anyone, ever...
