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.]

Ruffnut loomed over Mindy and leaned forward, "Don't get excited. It just means I'm gonna kick your butt."

"And when you wake up from your weird dreams, be sure to let me know," Mindy said, chuckling. "It's about time I got to see if you're any good anymore. You better not have been wasting all your time playing with the ghosts instead of training either."

"You better hope so." Ruffnut stood up stretching and planted a wrist on Mindy's forehead leaning on her to tease her further.

"Oh yeah, look at me, totally worried," Mindy said, and with the wrist resting on her,Mindy took the opportunity to stick her leg out, twist it with hers and have Ruffnut flat on the floor, Mindy on her legs.

"If you were awesome like me, you would have expected that," she said, grinning.

"Who said I didn't?" Ruffnut seized Mindy by her shirt and threw her weight backwards to yank the younger girl off her and fling her off the porch.

Mindy grinned: she WAS learning, although it was Mindy, who was definitely not the type of person to fall that easily, kipped herself up, landing a kick at Ruffnut's side.

Ruffnut took the kick, and held Mindy's leg spinning hard to try and take her off the ground and throw her into the yard. It was kind of strange an oversized Hitgirl fighting with Mindy in costume.

It did knock Mindy off her feet, but she could just as easily use her hands to keep balance apparently, and did just that. She pushed hard against Ruffnut, using her muscle to knock the viking off balance.

And at this point, they were both flying off the porch.

Ruff bounced and rolled in the grass clinging to Mindy the entire way. "You can't get rid of me that easy!" And surprisingly enough Ruffnut landed ontop when their crashing roll came to a stop.

And this was usually the time that Mindy would have knocked Ruffnut aside, wrestling for control. Instead, Mindy just looked up at her captor a moment, out of breath.

"I wouldn't want to," she said, giving Ruffnut a smile.

That made Ruffnut blush, as was inevitably what Mindy was hoping for, and as she looked up and away, anywhere but into those bewitchingly wild eyes...she realized people were staring.

People on the street, either from around the ship or created by the Sensorium for backround decoration. Ruffnut's grip on Mindy tightened and she barked out "Get lost!" Which sent a few scurrying away nervously, other's snickered and went on their way casually much to Ruffnut's embarrassment.

This was usually the time where Mindy would actually be embarrassed herself, because she sure as hell wouldn't have had anyone see her doing something like this, right? Well, she had told Ruffnut before she didn't care if people knew they were together.

THEY. Mindy and Ruffnut. That was the key thing. Mindy could do whatever she wanted, as far as she was concerned. And right now, she looked at the onlookers and shrugged, kicking herself up easily, stretching like a cat.

"That got a little away from us, huh?" She said casually. "So much for staying low key."

"I'm not really good at low key...I pretty much do everything high key." Ruff pointed out still blushing but smiling at Mindy for being so relaxed. "Does anything phase you anymore?"

"I noticed," she said, rolling her eyes. "Does anything you do phase me? Yeah: you need take baths more often! Your viking smell can only get so ripe before you have the ability to kill someone Ruff!"

She elbowed the girl playfully.

Ruff elbowed her right back, "A vikings first line of defense is their smell!" She countered, though really that was just supposed to be a joke among viking men.

And then a strange thing happened, something Ruff had never experienced before. She began to question if there was more to what Mindy had said then just teasing. Sure she sounded like she was joking around but what if it was a real concern? She vowed to sniff herself when Mindy wasn't looking to see. Maybe a daily shower wouldn't be an awful thing. It's not like it bothered her to clean up she just tended to forget.

Well, she wouldn't lie: it was much easier to hang around Ruffnut if she bathed a little more thoroughly. During a training session it didn't matter: they weren't there to be clean and nice. But on dates, or outings? It's be nice.

"Hey, just curious: when did you start to take care of your hair? You usually didn't touch it until recently. I like it."

Ruffnut's cheeks went rosy and she squirmed a little mutter, "Um...well actually it's a wig." A lame joke about the fact she was still wearing a Hit Girl costume.

Then she laughed and looked away embarrassed, "I guess, it was that modeling competition you know?"

"No stupid, not the wig," she said dismissively. She walked up to Ruffnut and pulled the wig off, touching the girl's blonde hair lightly.

"It's all soft and stuff now. What, did the modeling people give you free hair tips?"

Ruff nodded "Y-yeah well...they over did it on the makeup but they were ok with the hair stuff. So I had them give me some um...they called it product to use when I shower."

"You are such a girl," Mindy teased, snickering a little, but still patting the older girl's hair. "The hair thing I don't mind, but make up is retarded. You look awesome just how you are, and no sissy man children are gonna tell you otherwise."

Now Ruffnut's face was totally red from the compliments, "W-well thanks...you look awesome too." She mumbled sheepishly the words feeling clunky as they fell from her mouth without much thought.

Mindy grinned, then reached over and gave her girlfriend a kiss. "Oh, I know it. But it helps to hear it from you too. I mean, you are the person who's opinion I gave the most of a shit about with that, right?"

The kiss did nothing to lessen Ruffnut's blush or embarrassment, someone whistled and catcalled which made her lash out and send a burning bright ball of lightning spinning through the air to blow a hole in someone's house.

"well good...because it should!" she managed to add.

Mindy snickered. "Just don't think that because you're my girlfriend you get a free ride. I expect you to kick ass just like you always do. In fact, I expect you to be the best. I know you can do it."

"Pfft." Ruffnut shoved Mindy playfully, "Well duh, of coarse. Like I'm gonna stop being awesome." She started for the porch where her candy bag was waiting.
