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.

"I suppose it...hey, what if it's because Stacy thought it would make for a good trick?" Jamie doesn't know a lot about Halloween as a holiday, but there was the one time the TARDIS landed right by that group of kids going trick or treating. Jamie might have wound up with a stomachache after that trip, but he still learned a thing or two...and it hasn't really detracted from his love of food overall, as his next words prove.
"Food games," Jamie says, with a faintly pleased air. One of the best type of games out there, if you ask him. "There's one where ye bob for apples, and another one with these wee balls made of popping corn on strings. I'm not sure what ye are supposed to do with that one exactly. Jump to get them, maybe."
no subject
"Wouldn't put it past her...not sure she really understand what a trick is if this is her version of it. 'Course," she adds, after another glance over of Jamie's costume, "I think I'd take this version of tricks over some others she's pulled."
Ah, but food games sound like something she can get behind. "Bobbin' for apples, there's somethin' I ain't done in years." The popcorn one's new to her, but it sounds like it could be quite the riot if the right people are playing. "Let's check 'em out, yeah? Better'n standin' here~"
no subject
As for bobbing for apples, he is all for this plan. "Aye!" Jamie replies with enthusiasm, and starts over to where he saw the apples, eager to get over and try his hand at the game. He stops himself after a second or two, however, turning back to offer out his hand. She doesn't have to take it, obviously, but if she does, he'll happily pull her over to where the tub's been set up.
no subject
She's all set to follow right behind when Jamie turns around and offers his hand. Oh, what the hell, she takes it and allows herself to be tugged over to where the game is, laughing all the while. When Jamie's enthusiastic about something, nothing stops him from trucking through a crowd.
no subject
"Ah...maybe I'd best let ye go first."
no subject
Oh, because she had opened her mouth about something that had happened when she was about eight, right.
"Alright, just let me..." She moves closer to the tub, awkwardly kneeling down and tugging at her skirt to make sure everything stayed covered. A deep breath and she plunges her face into the tub, and comes up gasping moments later with nothing to show for it but wet hair and a laugh. The second attempt is the same, as is the third, but she finally manages to (barely) come up with an apple on the fourth attempt. She stands up quickly and triumphantly bites into the apple.
Your turn, Jamie.
no subject
He takes the spot Kaylee vacated, a little smugly. "I'll get an apple quick enough. You'll see." One plunge into the tub later and up he comes, completely apple free - and with that slightly grumpy look on his face. He's undaunted, though, and tries a second time, and a third.
Still nothing. One more attempt left before he has to admit that Kaylee's beaten him, and with a deep breath he gives it one last go. He's gone for a seemingly long time, then surfaces, a wave of water flying outwards from his hair and out into the room. Hopefully no-one's too close. He triumphantly clutches an apple in his teeth...and his question mark hair wig is floating on the water of the tub. Jamie's too caught up in his moment of triumph to realize it, though.
Pulling the apple out of his mouth, he says, "There ye go. One apple."
no subject
Kaylee isn't so worried about the first bob, because no one ever gets the apple on the first shot. He's pretty determined on the second, though, and there's a possibility that he just might get it. By the third she's stifling a giggle. Once his fourth try rolls around, she's proudly finishing her apple up. The core is still in her hand when he pops up with his own apple, and she ends up giving him half of a round of applause around the apple core.
Trying not to laugh too hard is more difficult than trying to clap with an almost-finished piece of fruit in her hand, though. "Up an apple and down a wig."
no subject
Wig? What wi...oh. Jamie turns to see the floating piece of latex and fake hair bobbing calmly in the water, and promptly goes to fish it out. He holds it up, looking at it with a rather indescribable look on his face. A tiny amount of water rolls off it and onto the floor.
"Aye," he manages to get out, although it sounds a bit strangled. "I was wearing that?"
Guess who hadn't noticed that part of the costume.
no subject
Not really, but while it had been a pretty funny sight to see, she's not exactly about to crush his spirit in any way. It's a bit odd that it took him this long to figure out that the gorram thing exists, though.
"C'mon, you can't tell me you didn't even notice it."
no subject
There's still a bit of a sheepish look on Jamie's face as he admits, "Well, I felt something up there, but I...er..."
He had meant to look, and then noticed Kaylee and promptly forgot all about the strange thing on his head. He finally manages to stammer out, "I-I may have gotten a wee bit distracted."
no subject
"Alright, popcorn next?"
no subject
He bites into the apple and chews it as he walks. Since he's actually got something to eat at the moment, he's content to walk over towards them at a much more sedate pace. His other hand surreptitiously tugs at the hem of his costume, making sure it stays put.
Once they're at the area where the second game's been set up, he polishes off his prize from before, then disposes of the apple core. He dusts off his hands and studies the setup thoughtfully.
"Right. So have ye figured out how this one works yet?"
no subject
"Just what you guessed earlier. Gotta jump for the popcorn, no hands allowed." And then laugh at everyone else when it's their turn to look ridiculous. Can't beat Halloween games.
"You wanna go first this round?"
no subject
"Aye," Jamie replies thoughtfully, already clasping his hands behind his back and studying the popcorn balls. "Should be easy."
It's not, though, and Jamie makes quite a fool of himself before managing to snag a popcorn ball with his teeth and yank it free, which should help with the amusement factor. He'll join in as well, when it's Kaylee's turn.
Afterward, he'll accompany her wherever she wishes to go until the nature of the party causes them to go their separate ways. It's time well spent, in Jamie's opinion, and he is glad to have it.
