Seeing as Wingbeat would be opening later, Finnigan's was presenting a more laid back option for Halloween this year. Dominic had magically dimmed all the rooms just a little, and they were lit with magical jack o'lanterns. A cauldron of Honeydukes' finest products waited by the door - charmed to let every customer take exactly one sweet and the bar was serving up themed cocktails, including Black Magic (Calvados, Creme de Mure, lemon juice and honey, warmed), Pumpkin Spiced Beer, Vampire Delight Martini and Departed Spirit Shot. Seamus had even cajoled Romeo into making colcannon and barmbrack for the occasion.

The roost was a little more elaborate, as usual, decorated to resemble a pumpkin field with pumpkin beanbags and cauldrons for apple-bobbing. There were apples strung up on strings from the ceiling, too, for games of snap apple.

The Den and The Corner looked much as they usually did, apart from the jack o'lanterns and a few spare 'cobwebs' in the corners. Everything was ready, and Seamus and Dominic were expecting a busy day.

Seamus and OPEN - Lunchtime

Seamus was only scheduled to work the late shift, but as with most special occasions he was planning to be behind the bar most of the day. His staff were mostly used to it, though they'd probably 'remind' him he wasn't working and send him off to have lunch at some point. Not yet, though. Right now, the lunch crowd were beginning to filter in, pausing to admire the decorations, a few of them bringing children (costumed or not) to grab a sweet from the cauldron or try apple-bobbing upstairs.

Seamus finished pouring a pumpkin beer - the bestseller so far, though he expected that to change as it got later and people felt it more appropriate to try the harder cocktails - and turned to see who needed a drink next. "What can I get you?" he asked, smiling as he approached.

Marietta and OPEN - early evening

It was somewhat interesting in her mind that the one night there were a plethora of parties to be privy to she had no clients. Then again, no one actively took an escort to an event where they were likely to be surrounded by people they were in close contact with every day. More often than not she found herself at high society events or doing private dates in places that were the furthest from where you would typically find the individual who had requested company for the night.

Deciding to take slight advantage of the Muggle tradition of costuming she wore a blue and black outfit that was more suitable for a working night for her than a night where she may simply run into friends. Why not tease herself a little with her alternate persona on the one day a year where she could actually get away with it.

Bryony and OPEN - Afternoon

Bryony had come to Finnigan's to work on her portrait skills, as she usually did on Friday afternoons when Braith was winding up for the day and was unlikely to need new potions made as much as she needed peace and quiet in which to paint. When she'd seen the Halloween decorations, though, she'd been unable to resist the urge to sketch them. The jack o'lanters were going to look beautiful as it got darker, and she was seriously considering heading home to grab her paints and seeing if she couldn't find a quiet spot to try to capture them in full colour.

For now, though, it was still light outside. She had explored every room, noting the changes that had been wrought and had ultimately decided on The Roost for her sketching. She was sat as upright as she could get (not very) against one of the large pumpkin beanbags, sketchpad rested against her bent knees as she sketched the broad details of a cauldron before working on the detail of the pumpkin flowers coiled around its handle.
