It Was a Graveyard Smash! [OPENTASTIC]

The Sensoriums are decorated like the most well-tended and enthusiastically holiday-oriented suburb Southern California could have created. Jack-O-Lanterns grin out from driveways and porches; smoke machines belch out onto the sidewalk; orange-tinted Christmas lights twinkle from the rooftops. A loop of Halloween-themed music, from the Monster Mash to Thriller, plays over the scene.

Eva knows there aren't many children on Stacy, but that doesn't mean that the ones here shouldn't have the occasional holiday. Just because they lack a calendar doesn't mean they lack a festive spirit. Besides, almost all kids like candy and she was able to purchase plenty at the theme park and in Geartopia.

Each house has some hologram families giving out candies and chocolates, as well as small toys and little origami animals. Every hologram is dressed up in a ridiculous costume of some sort.

She flits from house to house, imagining up little details to add, dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit she finds unbearably humorous. After sending out a message on the channels, she waits for guests to arrive.

[OOC: Everybody, go forth and mingle, have fun with the setting, TP some houses, whatever! Please threadjack, start your own threads, and go wild. The Halloweentown mini-plot will be in this post later tonight with those players, but the rest of the post is open for everyone.]

"What, you think I don't know that?" Zetta said, briefly startled out of his anger in turn. "The message was for HIM, not for you!"

"I'm pretty sure that Hawke knows that too," she added. "Well the fact he couldn't really push me around if he wanted to. If anything you probably made him more suspicious than anything else." Lash knew Hawke pretty well, after all. Like how he thought he liked his coffee with half a tablespoon of sugar, when truthfully he simply hadn't refused a cup of coffee from her when he actually liked it purely black. LASH KNEW HIM SO WELL.

"Yeah, but he doesn't know ME!" And he really ought to! That was the point!
thewunderkind: (Tee hee hee!)

"Actually his first reaction towards you was the fact he found you a bit obnoxious," she mentioned with a tiny grin sneaking on her lips, "and wondering just what was up the book thing. You didn't look like a book in the sensoriums, after all."

But nowhere did he tell her not to stop seeing him, so Zetta clearly had nothing to worry about!
badassfreakingoverlord: (Standard Zetta)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-04 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
NO ONE TOLD HIM THAT, LASH!

"Hmph," Zetta said, smirking. "He only found me obnoxious because I'm way more awesome and powerful than he can ever be!"

Lash, this was your cue to agree in some way, shape, or form. It could be teasing, or with attitude, or reluctant, or... anything Zetta had come to expect from her over the time they'd spent together. The important thing was that she agreed.

Just to set the record straight! He was not jealous!
thewunderkind: (Thinking)

"Well you do win in the power department," she said agreeing with a mischievous grin (oh no). "But I think Hawke's got you beat in the strategy department!" She stroked her chin, thinking. "Maybe you two should have a sensorium battle one day. I think it could be reeeeaaaally interesting."

Lash would probably pay for that kind of match.
badassfreakingoverlord: (really pissed)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-04 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
"W-what are you, kidding?! Even if -- even IF I couldn't just single-handedly defeat every possible thing he could throw at me," Zetta roared, "I'm the most badass freaking Overlord in the cosmos! Over! Lord! That means I'm in CHARGE of people!"

Zetta lifted his hands, balling them into fists like he was going to start punching -- something, anything! Then, out of sheer frustration, he slapped a hand to his head like he was going to start pulling on his own hair.

And promptly stabbed himself with the sleeve dagger that he had completely forgotten was part of his costume.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
thewunderkind: (D:)

Holy crap, holy crap! Suddenly everything else that had happened before was thrown out of the door, and she felt this strange pit in her stomach.

That was nothing like what Lash had been expecting him to do, and just as fast as she could think about stopping herself from getting too close, she was already up on the broom to better see what had just happened, cutting part of her sleeve, using her hands to push away his arm and cover the cut with her own.

Technically she knew he could probably heal himself and it was just a tiny flesh-wound.

She didn't know why this was her first reaction, or the fact she was worried about it.

"H-hey! Don't do that!" She said in a weird tone.
badassfreakingoverlord: (sweat drop)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-04 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I didn't do it on PURPOSE!" Zetta said petulantly. "Get your hand out of the way! It's just a sensorium body, but I don't want to try and fix it and get your sleeve caught in it!"

Zetta never forgot that these bodies were fake. But that incident had shattered whatever weird tension was growing between them on his part as well. His protests now were just typical Overlord grumpiness.
thewunderkind: (Mffph)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-12-04 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
"I know that!" she replied in her own grumpiness. Reluctantly, she removed her sleeve but still stood pretty close. "You should be careful around sharp weapons!" At this point it was hard to tell if she was teasing him, being truthful and worrisome or a strange combination of both.

Just like that, the injury was okay again. In some ways, having a sensorium body was a good thing... but his REAL body wouldn't have been scratched by the damn thing.

"Hmph. Well..."

He looked over at Lash, all seriousness and determined willfulness once again, but that only lasted a second or so. The corners of his mouth began to twitch as a thought crossed his mind that he tried to suppress. But he couldn't.

"Guess I got the point, huh?"
thewunderkind: (Laughter)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-12-04 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay so she did try not to laugh at that.

Like really, but then it was just too much and she fell right back on her broom unable to hold back from the laughter.

"You certainly cut the matter at hand." she agreed.
badassfreakingoverlord: (animated laughter)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-04 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
As soon as she lost it, he did too, bursting into laughter that wasn't his usual evil sort.

Hadn't they been arguing? Or at least having a serious discussion?
thewunderkind: (Lololol I made a funny)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-12-04 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhhh maybe. Who knew? Had they learned anything from it? Lash was too busy laughing right now to care.

"I have to hand it to you, that..." she couldn't finish just laughing too much again. Lash no, please quit with the hands pun while you were ahead.
badassfreakingoverlord: (Standard Zetta)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-05 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"That what?" Zetta said, still chortling into a hand. "I'm not sure what you're getting at and I'm not sure I want to... take a stab at it!"
thewunderkind: (Tee hee hee!)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-12-05 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Lash pretty much burst into laughter at this point, unable to hold back and wasn't able to say much of anything else.

"Okay, okay, you win!" she declared somewhere between them, trying to feed oxygen back into her lungs.
badassfreakingoverlord: (destroying things)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-06 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
"As always!" Zetta said, with a confidence that was completely unearned considering he had stabbed himself in the head to earn this victory.
thewunderkind: (Manly)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-12-06 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, yeah keep telling yourself that!" She stood upright on her broom again. "So NOW do we scared the crap out of Ruffnut and Hitgirl?" Had they learned anything from this?

Probably not.
badassfreakingoverlord: (mocking you)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-06 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"I"m telling you, they're not gonna fall for some 'boo' scare," Zetta said. "And if we go for something psychological it either won't work or they'll get all pissed off or something."

When did Lash and Zetta ever learn anything except how to deny and repress better?
thewunderkind: (Tee hee hee!)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-12-06 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pffft! Who really cares about if they get angry with us or not?" she retaliated. "We can take both of them on!" Teasing that turned into a fight? Don't mind if she suggested that. "Besides, nothing like scaring someone out of their minds for fun and profit, tee hee hee!"
badassfreakingoverlord: (injured overlord)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-07 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not the good kind of anger! The sulky teenage kind where they get all offended or think I'm not taking them seriously and then we have to have long talks about uncomfortable 'feelings' and crap," Zetta said, so disgusted by the idea of going through a talk like that. No way would anyone catch him doing that sort of thing!
thewunderkind: (LOL UR SO DUMB)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-12-08 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I think you're underestimating them," Lash replied. "I'm sure they'd understand the value of a good, scary joke."
badassfreakingoverlord: (dull surprise)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-08 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Zetta looked at Lash, considering.

"You sound like you have something in mind."
thewunderkind: (Default)

[personal profile] thewunderkind 2011-12-09 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"That I do," she answered back, grinning, and began to whisper a plan to him.
badassfreakingoverlord: (asleep dammit)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2011-12-09 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Lash, you're just making whispering noises, you're not actually saying anything
