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 Time Warp?" Jamie says, his voice full of disbelief. He's heard of some strange names for things before, but that strikes him as decidedly odd. Oh, he understands the words right enough, but he's not quite getting how it matches up with the dance.

He's distracted enough by trying to figure it out that he's only half listening to the offer, not reacting to it until the dinosaur takes his arm. "Hey? Oh, aye, I suppose."

Refocusing back on Gabriel, the Scot shrugs, allowing himself to be led out on the floor. How bad could it be, after all?

Gabriel grins to himself when he gets Jamie onto the dance floor. He ignores the tempo of the song for the moment, turning to face the Scot with a pleased expression.

"First thing we have to do is teach you the dance," he says. "The Time Warp is classic where I'm from, but it's easy to learn.

"It's just a jump to the left," and Gabriel does this, and waits for Jamie to follow him. "And then a few steps to the right." He sticks his right foot out to the side a few times, watching Jamie.

Up go Jamie's eyebrows for a moment, but then he nods. "Och, is that all? That's easy."

The jump is a little tentative, but that's more to make sure the space suit isn't about to go flying up than anything. When it doesn't, he looks a little relieved. With more confidence, he copies the steps as shown, even throwing in the little hand flourishes. So far, so good.

"Now what?"
