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.

Well. Takes someone with a good sense of humor or a lot of patience to get stuck in a costume like that, doesn't it?

Kaylee giggles at the dinosaur's opening line, and turns to face him. "I might consider it, but I've already got myself a drone... Could offer a dance up, though?"

Gabriel doesn't mind making a fool of himself, as long as he gets the choice.

"A dance would be lovely," he says, undeterred, "But I'm afraid it might be a little more like a train wreck in this outfit."

"Give you a raincheck on that one, then." Kaylee's not a very good dancer on a normal day. Dancing with a dinosaur might lead to something catastrophic. "An accompaniment to the refreshment table?"

"I'll certainly take that; a woman after my own heart," he tells her, offering her an arm with a pleased grin. "We can save the dance for when we're both dressed to impress."

"Hard to go wrong when it comes to food," she agrees. With a smile, she loops her arm through his and directs him toward the food. "There'll be plenty more dances to choose from, 'M sure."
