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 don't even know what I'm supposed to be!"

"Oh, I know," she said, snickering. "Your sailor moon, champion of justice, princess of the moon. You right wrongs and triumph over evil...and that means YOU!"

She pointed at Toothless here, grinning.

"I'm not even into anime and I knew that show. Stacy must have REALLY wanted a good laugh. I empathize...but its also think its funny as hell!"

"Great. Real nice to know even the ship is having a good laugh at my expense."

"Hey, you're lucky," Mindy said. "Well, not really, that's a total lie, but at least you don't know who you're dressed as.. I actually know who I'm dressed as, and hate it. The ship probably wanted to put a boy in girl's stuff for fun, but it went out of its way to fu-mess with me."

Sarcastic Hiccup was still, even in that outfit, more tolerable than most, actually.

"I don't know what you're dressed as either. A...a girl? With a...stick?" Seriously, what? "Are blonds so rare in the future that dressing up as one is a big deal?"

"A teen pop star," she said, trying not to retch at the idea. "A certain talentless one that, at best, can be said to have some kind of twisted magical spell over the populace. Trust me, its a frightening thing. I think I'd rather be dressed like you than this. At least Sailor Moon had this kind of awesome origin story. Better than 'my daddy was famous, and a soulness network gave me my start.'"
