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.

Great. That was terrific.

"Well, there goes that plan," Tenaya answered. "I had some spare robot parts. I figured that might do at least as a stopgap."

"Hey, I sure don't mind the thought. Though it might be difficult for a body that isn't mine to hold my mana power," he added as the thought occurred to him. "But I'm guessing I won't get my body back till I can rebuild my Netherworld, and even the Overlord-class people on this ship don't seem to have the mana power necessary to do that easily at all."

"Just another thing to look forward to," she said dryly.

"I'll give you something to look forward to," Zetta said with reflexive horribleness.

"But hey," he continued more seriously. "Winning after all this has happened will just make the victory that more awesome."
