WHO: Claire & Dean and whoever else is attending
WHAT: The ~~wedding reception~~ post-wedding party!
WHEN: 9PM; Halloween
WHERE: Harvelle's Roadhouse
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress
NOTES: This is going to be one of those threads with sub-threads that your character can reply to. For instance, if they're getting a drink, have them reply to the bar sub-thread, then someone can reply to them for a conversation. No one is required to post (you can just say your character attended) but if you want, feel free! Basically during this party the candy will also start to take effect, so your characters may start acting a bit... immature. ;) So have fun and Happy Halloween everyone!

Ellen had put everyone without shouting distance to work just as soon as the word had come that Dean and Claire's reception was going to be at the Roadhouse. By the time the wedding was said and done, the bar was fully stocked, a band was scheduled to play primarily classic rock, and there was a spread of various finger foods on a series of tables that took up one wall of the main room. All-in-all, Ellen felt they'd done a damn good job of throwing the whole thing together.

Now she just hoped that the rest of the party went as smoothly as the set up had gone.

Tessa the Corpse Bride was sitting at the bar, having congratulated Claire on being the one to finally reel in Dean Winchester. It was amusing to see him settle down, even if Tessa had never really been interested in him that way. She was glad they were enjoying life to the fullest.

They might also be amused to know she had herself a date, of sorts, but of course she wasn't one to brag. Truth be told, in light of certain discoveries in the park, she didn't want the new arrival running around unchaperoned. But she always played her cards close to the vest.

Dexter, dressed head to toe in orange, smiled politely as he came to stand beside Tessa at the bar. "Drink?"

Weddings. He had never been one for weddings, or funerals, or any kind of event where you were supposed to feel some kind of obvious emotion. The people crying, kissing, laughing. It seemed so... messy. At least in Miami he had been able to mask his empty eyes with sunglasses. Weddings themselves, although he understood the concept when it came to financial perks, confused him. But it was all part of the disguise. You had to play the part.

"Are you competing?" he smiled again, nodding to Tessa's costume and then towards the actual bride, who sat at her table with her new husband. Two drinks were deposited before him, and he slid one across to his date. Because technically, he supposed that was who she was.

Rita probably wouldn't approve.

"Sure," Tessa agreed, smiling as she noted Dexter's costume. She was probably only slightly more comfortable at weddings than he was. After all, marriages were for the living.

Thanking him for the drink, she lifted it to her lips, but barely even took a sip--again, unaccustomed to the consumption of alcohol and its effect on her physical manifestation. She set the glass back down and shook her head. "Nah," she said almost playfully, following his gaze to the bride and groom. "He's not really my type."

That was only partially true. Everyone was Tessa's type, and she would get another chance to spirit him away eventually. Just not to a honeymoon suite. "But what about you? I notice Dean isn't the only one strapping on the old ball and chain tonight."

Could it be possible he'd made a friend? In such a short space of time? How... unusual for him. But good. Friends were what normal people had. That was part the reason he'd much such a large social network back home. It was frustrating to have all his hard work undone. Dexter gave a light snort of laughter as Tessa glanced at the new couple, lifting his own drink.

Ball and chain. He hadn't even realized there was a joke there. He looked down, nudging the polystyrene ball with his foot. "There was... limited options at the store. It was either this or dead schoolgirl." Dexter smiled, taking a sip of drink and turning back, leaning on the bar to quietly observe the people moving over the space.

"So how d'you know the uh..." He pointed towards Claire and Dean, using the hand still holding the drink and tilting his head. "happy couple?"

Tessa nodded, still smiling. "Looks good on you," she teased. She took another tiny sip of her drink, watching the wedding party, and then looked back at Dex.

"I met Dean back home at the hospital where I used to volunteer," she said, "Not exactly the most pleasant of circumstances." Her expression grew appropriately sympathetic at the memory. "Anyway, he made up for it later by rescuing me from kidnappers. One of those weird right place, right time kinds of things. And here we are now. What a coincidence, huh?"

Dressed as the Jolly Green Giant, per his brother's almost-request, Sam watched Cas wander or to speak to Juno. He took a step to follow, but changed his course, and sauntered over to the bar instead. He half expected to find a flask there waiting for him, and anyone nearby might have picked up on his apprehension if they were paying attention. He let out his breath as he slid into a seat, flask free for the time being.

He glanced over at Cas and Juno, and smiled to himself. They seemed to be hitting it off. He swept his gaze across the room, seeing the various couples and groups of people. He sat alone, but he hardly felt alone. Most of the people he loved were nearby, even his dad had wandered back to town for the event. Sam didn't expect him to stay long, but he was glad he'd had the decency to show, he knew it meant a lot to Dean to have John there. Speaking of Dean, Sam's gaze continued over to his brother and his new sister in law. He already loved Claire like a sister, and now that it was official, it just seemed right.

He'd caught Dean's message not long before the ceremony was sset to start. he hadn't bothered to reply, he hadn't even been sure he'd make it back in time. He'd found his way to the book shop with no time to spare, slipping in just as the ceremony started.

Though he was tempted to slip out just as quickly, he stuck around long enough to join the after party at the Roadhouse. While Sam could stand alone without feeling alone, John could be in the middle of the crowd and feel completely alone. Ellen and Bill were his friends, but he felt awkward around them. Dean, Sam, and Adam were his sons, but he felt like a failure to them, and he never really knew quite what to say to any of them. He ought to say something, to Dean and Claire, if no one else, but so far he hadn't gotten close enough to say anything at all.

With Yellow Eyes in town, he felt more invested in keeping watch, making sure the demon didn't try to crash the party. For that reason, John Winchester hovered near the doors, watching the party as an outsider.
