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.

"All the time. It works, doesn't it?" And she flashed him some more of that irresistible grin.

"It works for me," he replied, smiling back. And so far, no accidents! Maybe there really was something to this.

They continued to dance, confidence and coordination growing. Not perfect, but just fine for them! It eventually prompted him to say "...why was I worried?"

"Because everyone's nervous when they're trying out something new. What's more important is doing it anyway."

"My friends used to say that that was courage," he remembered, making his movements bolder. "So that's all it takes."

"It is. And you're very good at it. Courage and dancing." Sofia was having a blast, she didn't even seem to worry about how her feet were moving at all. Maybe because she'd danced enough that she hardly had to think about it.

"Thanks," Billy whispered, faint blush staining his cheeks.

When the notes faded, he stepped back and bowed to her. "T'was an honor to dance with you," he said grandly with a grin.
