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.

Katara agreed. "Well, I figured you were pretty busy with your mother and Asuna, so I thought it would be impolite to keep coming to the bus and check on you. Your mom is pretty nice by the way. She helped a friend of mine when that virus made Asuna attack my friend by mistake."

"... Asuna-san did WHAT now?!" exclaimed Negi, shocked. Why wasn't he told about this? Where had been Konoka?

Oshit, she must have gotten returned. And that would explain...

"Guh..."

"It wasn't her fault, really!" Katara insisted. "It was the ship: it released some virus that made everyone in the city violent. It even made certain demons and vampires that way."

She stared at Negi. "You ok?"

"Ah, yeah I'm okay," admitted Negi. "I just realized that I have no idea what my students were doing, and probably two of them are repodded by now." He heaved a sigh.

Katara did look a little sad at the mentioning of his students repodded: Sokka's repod had hit her pretty hard.

"A friend of mine was repodded, but then it brought her back. Maybe that might happen with those students of yours. Who are they anyway?"

"Konoka, Setsuna, Yue and Chao," replied Negi. "Yue and Chao were here a long while ago but I remembered them after the ban on memories was lifted."

He sighed. "I just hope Setsuna and Konoka aren't in too much trouble."

Ban on memories? She wasn't sure what that meant, but she was a little saddened to hear about this. She hadn't known who Chao was, but she had met Yue: she had been the one that walked in once on that embarrassing situation.

"I'm sorry," she said, looking genuinely sad. "I remembered Yue. She seemed nice. Wait...Konoka and Setsuna are still here, right?"

She had met the two of them after all: they had both seemed like fairly good people too.
