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.

Kaylee laced her fingers through Dean's and took a small step closer. "Food'd be nice." Because when wasn't food nice? "Might do just as well to wander around and take the whole set-up in, though."

"Sure, I wouldn't mind that if you wanna. Maybe they got some burgers." He moved closer to her, and one of the wings curved around her.

"Uh yeah, those aren't exactly a costume for some reason. No idea, always thought this thing's freaking weird."

The wing, in its own weird hugging way, was kind of comforting. Kaylee slid an arm around Dean's waist and grinned.

"A burger sounds real nice."

He was just glad she wasn't weirded out or anything.

"Maybe somebody even rustled up some bacon cheeseburgers?" He remarked hopefully, as his head gently touched the top of hers for a moment. One of his arms moved around her waist in turn as well.

"By the way, Jayne's a pretty awesome guy, good shot too."

"We can only hope~"

Kaylee hugged him tight a moment, but at the mention of Jayne she pulled back to look him in the face. "You met Jayne...and. You like him."

Bravo, Dean. You're probably the first person in the history of ever to do so.

"Yeah. He's an ass and can't sing for shit, but not a bad guy to have a few beers with." And shooting practice... while drunk.

She laughs at the ass comment, but when it comes to Jayne's musical talent... "Aah, but you ain't heard him play his guitar yet. You ever get the chance to hear, do it. He's damn good."

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-11-07 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, well maybe when he ain't got several drinks in him already."

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-11-09 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't think there's ever a time when he don't got a few in him already. But a few more than the usual might do it, yeah."

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-11-10 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Probably why we got along then," Dean admitted with a grin.

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-11-10 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well," Kaylee replied, grabbing his hand and beginning the process of dragging him toward the food table, "at least he's makin' friends."

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-11-11 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Dean laughed lightly at that, "Least means if I crash on your ship, I won't wake up with a gun in my face right?"

And oh right! Food!

He beamed as they headed to the food table, admiring the spread.

"Well, can't make any promises..." She meant it teasingly, but there was never any telling about how Jayne might react to something.

With a small hop, Kaylee reached out for a slice of candied apple and bit into it happily.

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Dean really wasn't much better so there was a chance of them *both* shoving guns in each other's faces really. Probably why he kind of likes Jayne.

"You're not gonna back me up?" Mock pout from him before he tries to steal an candied apple around her.

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"I might consider it..."

Oh but that pout gets her. "Fine, fine, I'd. Throw myself dramatically between the two of you or somethin'." And to demonstrate, she did exactly that to get between Dean and that apple slice. "Just like that. Foolproof."

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-11-13 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey! And no way, not letting you get in the middle. Trust me, never a good spot to be." He tried to kiss a spot of sugar from the corner of her mouth.

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Believe me, know that one from experience," she promised, leaning back just enough to wipe the sugar away and kiss him full on instead. As she pulled back, grinning, she held up a piece of apple for him.

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Full on kiss is even better, especially sweet Kaylee kisses. Dean grinned back at her, and commented, "Yeah me too."

He glanced toward the piece of apple and opened his mouth, still grinning.

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Kaylee continued to move the apple closer to him, waiting for him to open his mouth. The moment he did, however, she popped it into her own mouth.

"Delicious~"

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey!" He grabbed her again for another kiss, and yes, he was going to try to steal it from her that way.

[identity profile] voiceofserenity.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
She was laughing too hard at this point to do much in the way of preventing it, and instead bit the slice in half.

[identity profile] notadamnangel.livejournal.com 2010-11-15 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
He smirked, and used his tongue to slide one half of the apple. Chewing thoughtfully as he broke the kiss.

"Mm, apple pie flavored sunshine."
