[Event Post] Halloween Haunted Hotel Party at the Equinox

[duelacademynpcs]

::Welcome, welcome to the costume party at the Equinox, which has a quasi Victorian air to it.

The party is located in the front foyer and the main garden grounds of the hotel, with tables of food and drink prepared, and plenty of conversation pieces. People are wandering about in costumes both elaborate and simple.

There's plenty of merry making, you should all gladly talk to one another, but if you're feeling risky, maybe venture into the closed Western Wing of the hotel that is under renovation.

If you're wondering who could afford to rent out the hotel for this nighttime event, it appears to be a group called the Tannhauser Society, which if you look it up, seems to be some generic something or other NGO or Charitable organization.

In the back of the Foyer is a Romanticism style painting of a red-haired maiden in armor with what appears to be Celeb Blade - Death Wild, leading a revolutionary pose. It adds to the antiquity of the building tonight, which adds a bit of a chill.

Otherwise there's general pumpkins, skeletons, bats, cauldrons and the like to add to the Halloween atmosphere.

The host is a cloaked figure with the name tag "Sister Fingers". Probably an elaborate costume.

But feel free to interact, nothing strange will happen tonight.::

::Feel free to talk to the incredibly ominous host!::

[daschillyone]

:Sister Fingers is approached by the Blade of Chaos, Black Luster Soldier. Or rather, Garrett wearing a costume.:
"Thank you for putting this party on, and especially for making it open invite. I haven't had a chance to really socialize since I moved here. So, who are you under the mask?"

One who does good works to bring about a better world for those who are yet to come.

::She has a very soft, nun-like voice, but there's this sense it's being done through extreme artifice.::

[lunalightlady]

::Serena's here, dressed as Lunalight Cat Dancer. Reira is probably near her but she's mostly chewing on Rotisserie Chicken legs.::

[kattobingore]

*If you're near the food, then sure enough you'll see Yuma. The food is his favourite part of any party after all!

He's dressed as Gagaga Magician and he's gathering some various bits of food for himself onto a paper plate. As he moves along he spots Serena and gives her his usual big Yuma-like grin!*

Yo, Serena!! Enjoying the party?

[redderthanred]

::Perhaps talked to this mysterious red-headed girl wearing glasses, carrying a grimoire, dressed as a witch with a cloak, but no witch's hat.::

[lampluminous]

*well, there's a young man of sorts dressed as an owl. perhaps a little closer to a certain more recognizable design, but still recognizably an owl all the same.

Anyway he's up on the stairs and staring down really specifically at you.*

[monochromaticdays]

*Hitoshi is here-- Kagerou nearby.

They seem to have gone with an animal theme this year; Hitoshi's dressed up looking like a cat, while Kagerou clearly objected to dressing up as a dog or a wolf, and opted for a fox look instead.

It's fine, it's close enough.*

[lunaseafuture]

::A chesty girl with blonde locks in a fake sword and shield and realistic armor walks by and pauses, looking at you.::

.... Hrm.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya is here dressed as Performapal Skullcrobat Joker. He's marvelling at the décor of the party and the hotel itself and pointing out what he sees excitedly to Yuzu who's nearby.

Seems like coming to the party was the right choice and he's cheered up!*

[melodiousmaestra]

*Yuzu is sticking close (and will be for the whole party) and is absolutely dressed up as Aria the Melodious Diva.

She's really happy that Yuya seems to be in a much, much better mood, and is sharing his excited energy*

[voicesofspirits]

*Ruka is actually here in an attempt to SOCIALIZE, but she's kinda just stood to the side awkwardly drinking punch from a plastic cup. She doesn't go to many social events, so she feels a bit lost. She's much more at home in a quiet area with books.

She's come to the party dressed as a fairy.*

[lunaseafuture]

::Kanan walks over, with the kinda sexy witch outfit, but definitely a bit more modest.::

A bit lonely over here, miss, don't you think?

[knowinginthedark]

Boo.

*Tarou's here! Only he's dressed up in some sort of black medieval looking outfit. With a long-nosed mask at his side.

It's a bit of a surprise to see him.*

[knowinginthedark]

*Tarou is here, dressed up as some manner of Plague Doctor-- rather creepy looking, too!

He's observing the goings-on mostly, keeping notes actively.

He's welcome to be bothered, he is dressed for a party!*

[morethaneverauburn]

::This is a Gyaru with a janky angel costume shoveling food from the tables into a back pack near you.::

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

::Walking by reading a booklet, he's mostly dressed like Frostie the Snowman.::

[daschillyone]

::Garrett is here, dressed as Black Luster Soldier. This is novel, surely he is not in this costume often. Anyway, he's looking for social activity, he's been dealing with whiny students and world ending threats, so he is hoping this is a normal party. Probably won't be, because life isn't fair.::

[bdsm_kouji]

::Rides past, 5'0" on a Segway, dressed as a black colored angel complete with halo.::

[wintyrwunderlande]

::You can find this lovely young lady in Heian clothes, sitting on pillows, speaking in rakugo some times, but otherwise chatting and conversing with those who come across her.

There's something eerie about her, tho'.::

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya is walking past with Yuzu, having a great time at the party. He happens to glance over and spots this girl, when he does, it feels like his heart was gonna leap out of his chest.

There's no way that's her. There's no way that's the girl that targeted him and Yuto. He isn't sure because of the costume, but just in case, he quickly averts his eyes and tries to just hurry on past.*

[knowinginthedark]

*oh, you're dressed in a very eerily classical manner.

Tarou, ignoring all sense of danger, approaches to examine.*

[thatdoublebijin]

::And then behind the hotel, there's this lady, with a shovel. Digging a hole.::

[duelacademynpcs]

::Later that night, three figures gather in the western wing of the hotel that's generally been abandoned.::

[redderthanred]

::Stage Lights light up, three shining on a teenage girl with red hair, wearing glasses and a witch's outfit, holding a book.

With her are a female knight and a girl in more 'sexy' witch outfit.::

Arty, what is the state of the western wing again?
