🎃🎃🎃

To say Kazuki had gone overboard...was a bit of an understatement.

He'd probably bought out the entire decor section at Evil Target, from the lights to hanging skeletons in the bathroom, to the projector cobweb light he hung on the dancefloor of his apartment. He moved the furniture aside to make room for it, a feat he was still shocked he had managed on his own. For food, he'd scoured the Pilot City Web for all sorts of ideas. Blood bags with juice, chocolate decorated strawberries, ghosts made of marshmallows, almost anything that looked fun, he did. By the time Kazuki was done with the place, it was straight out of the movies.

Back home, he and Haruka used to dress up. Halloween mostly meant dressing up at school or doing a few activities for fun. Kazuki had always wanted to do a party. He was usually focused on his studies to get into a good college. But he wasn't home right now. He could do what he wanted. He'd worked extra hard this month to pull in enough tips and donations to make this event extra fun.

Plus...Toi was coming. Toi's first party had to be perfect!

"That should do it," Kazuki finished hanging the pumpkin lamps up. He had finished getting ready a little while ago. Toi didn't want to do anything crazy, so he didn't do too much makeup himself. His eyes fell to the kitchen counter, where the two plates sat. Gotta hide those.

Kazuki took the plates and shoved them in the top of his bedroom closet, careful to not let the plates interact with his skin. Once they were secured, Kazuki closed and locked his bedroom door.

He took a deep breath, glancing at the clock. His doorbell rang. 5pm. Right on time.

"Hey guys, come on in!"

Ree | Scourge

Scourge had saw the invite on the network, and like many social gatherings, he assumed he wasn't going to be invited. Which is why he decided to crash it. It'd be more fun that way. Besides, by the amount of people in this damn apartment, it was going to be hard to even notice him. He stole some toilet paper from the Evil Target and donned a makeshift mummy outfit that he figured could be used to egg this very apartment later, if the situation called for it. Scourge was many things, but he wasn't wasteful.

When he arrived, Scourge was incredibly disappointed with the lack of wildness that had been promised. He thought this was a Halloween rager, but this just looked like a bunch of fuckin' moms hanging around sipping punch and dancing appropriately on the dancefloor. What a buzzkill.

This party needed a serious reboot. Thankfully, ol' Scourgey was on the case.

In a flash, he had stopped by the drug-store, shoplifting some quality vodka-like liquor, throwing the change on the counter, and then snuck back into the party.

"Hey, Ree, check this out," Scourge bumped into Ree as the kid was roaming around. He flicked the top off the bottle, then snuck the liquid in to the punch bowl. "That should do the trick. Hey, sweet costume by the way, that's rad as hell."

The compliment was as genuine as Scourge could be. Ree always liked very loud clothes. Scourge wasn't a fan of them himself. It was hard to match green, an unforeseen difficulty of permanently changing his appearance. But compared to the rest of the party, Ree stood out. And that kind of shit was cool. Scourge liked to stand out. Ree was with him, an honorary of his gang. If he ever got the chance to come home, he'd bring Ree with him.

"Want me to pour ya some?" Scourge asked, already pouring himself a plastic cup of the now spiked punch.

Now, that Scourge was here, the party was officially cool. Until now, it had been like the mixer-- interesting, but not fun. Now it was fun.

"Yes! I give you thanks. Your mummy costume is also rad as hell," Ree declared, giving Scourge an approving nod. He downed the punch that Scourge offered. "Together we will conquer hell--blech! What is this? This is shitty juice." Ree had picked up the word "shitty" from Scourge and saw it used by a few others on the network, and was now putting it to good use. It seemed to adequately describe the taste of this punch. It tasted like bad fruit.

As the fuzziness settled in his gut, Ree gradually came to realize that everything seemed to be a good idea. Even things that Scourge liked to do that Ree wasn't sure about, like bank robbing. Banks, places of bad hoarding, went against the entire concept of sharing and communal survival anyway.

"Scourge," he said, with a hiccup, "We should rob a bank together sometime."

Other things that were generally bad ideas, like biting strangers and hugging Scourge, were also starting to seem like better and better ideas by the minute.
