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.

Here, Alessa looked cross. "By that logic, Stacy thinks I'm supposed to be a harlot."

"Ah, well... I didn't mean that, I..." Sasami stammered, blushing as she did.

Alessa shook her head, but she actually managed a smile. "I'm joking. You look good, Sasami. How have you been feeling lately?"

"I'm doing alright... what about you?" Sasami asked. Setting the staff aside, she took Alessa's hands and squeezed them gently, knowing what happened the last time they met.

"Better," she said. "I have recovered for the time being, and am likely to go through channels of MY kind to find a way to curb my dark appetites. Likely, I may ask Evangeline to recommend a way to help."

She squeezed back.

"I'm glad... I was worried about you, Alessa..." Sasami said, smiling as Alessa returned the squeeze. "I know I've said before, but I'm not angry about what happened. I know it was that virus..."

"I remember," Alessa said, glowering at the idea of losing her sense again. "I'll won't ever repeat that performance anyway."

She stared at her friend. "Anything new happen?"

"Beyond those tests everyone wants, no..." Sasami said. "It's... been pretty quiet. Kinda scares me, though."

"You should expect something new to happen," Alessa said. "Just in time too: I was starting to get bored again. I already told you the consequences of that if it happened again."

Not that she expected another viral attack again.
