[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!::

[lunalightlady]

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

[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.::

[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.*

::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!*

[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?

[voicesofspirits]

Ah, yeah.

I don't really do social events very often so I guess I'm just not sure what to do.

[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.*

[lunaseafuture]

Mostly just talk, I believe.

[monochromaticdays]

-- yes? Is something sticking out about us? *Hitoshi takes notice of you, blonde girl*

[lunaseafuture]

I'm surprised your friend isn't a Doberman or Rottweiler or something.

[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!*

[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*

[monochromenights]

I'm going to pretend I didn't just hear that.

*Kagerou mutters that, giving an annoyed glower*

[monochromaticdays]

He uh--

My brother objected heartily to that suggestion.

[voicesofspirits]

Satou-san!

*She actually looks pleased to see him. An actual face she recognises! Plus a fellow researcher type not in their natural habitat of books and papers.*

I didn't realize you were coming to this party today.

[voicesofspirits]

Yes, that's true. I'm just not sure how to start conversations, especially with people I don't know.

Unless they start it first, like you have.

[knowinginthedark]

Hah, I'd usually not be the type for parties, but!

*he holds up a notebook* Parties, celebrations, holidays-- they're all part of the cultural research I do! Especially with this city having more than the average number of supernatural beings and experiences, I need to see how it affects a party like this.

And, you know, it gets me out of my room for a little while.

[lunaseafuture]

It'd fit more thematically. But your outfits are nice, otherwise.

[itkananbe]

So, what brought you to the part. I'm mostly waiting on a friend of mine.

[monochromenights]

What about a fox isn't thematic to anything?

[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.::
