So a Halloween party is happening whether everyone wants it to or not. We've had a ton of new arrivals or a lot of us have turned into recluses who stay inside and binge watch Netflix. What better way to meet everyone else or get out of the slump we've fallen into than with a party?

Before I begin scouting out a venue and then decorating it... are there any hard "no's" here about certain things usually associated with Halloween?

	Parties don't go as well as they used to, Tommy. But give it a try. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's one of my parties, Ollie. It's going to be great. You need to remember what it means to have fun and let go for a night. You can be serious afterwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have fun. There's just less drinks now? I'm not always serious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tryingtochange 2016-10-15 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	When. You can stick to not drinking as much at this party and just... make sure that I don't pass out outside and give me disapproving looks when I have a hangover. I'm pretty sure it's always. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes. I played tag with a dinosaur the other day. But I can do that. I can buy a drum to learn to play the next day. Sometimes I deal with you, that doesn't count as serious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Trying not to be eaten doesn't count as fun, Ollie. Why would you want to be so cruel to me? I thought you loved me. Okay. You have a point there but I'm the exception to the rule and sometimes I think you don't know what to do with me since I'm dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's more fun than actually being eaten. And it's a little fun. And I'm just trying to help you learn. Because I care. You're not dead, not here. And it's not that, Tommy. I don't know what to do with myself, mostly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Have you considered not going out where you can be eaten? I hear that works wonders. What is your idea of fun these days? Ah. You've moved on to tough love, I see.

I know that. I'm very much alive and surrounded by dinosaurs here. I didn't bring any of that up to make you feel bad. It's just an observation. I think I meant it to be humorous but it went over terribly.

No, I need to stay sharp somehow. And I don't like not getting a look outside the walls on my own to make sure nothing new is coming.

~~I liked to cook before we went back last time.~~ Target practice is fun. And right, tough love.

The dinosaurs would probably try to change that if you let them, so don't.

I know you didn't. It's okay, you're not that funny anyway.

I don't speak for Felicity but I think she would agree with me when I say that she and I would prefer it if you didn't dangle yourself in front of dinosaurs like a tasty snack. Especially not if you're sneaking out there on your own. You could die. And then what?

Okay. How about something fun that doesn't involve arrows? Or hitting things. So it's not tough love? What is it then?

I'm hilarious when the mood strikes me and I'm not feeling vaguely maudlin.

	I don't dangle myself, and I'm not always alone. And judging from what happened the last time, I'd be back in a week or two. What did you have in mind? I already said I'd babysit your hangover and go to the party. And it is tough love. And it might be fun too. If I make you something to eat will you be less maudlin?

If you're with one of your new super powered friends then I can't complain. Wait. What happened the last time?

Movie night? If you want to invite Felicity go ahead and I'll slip out when I become a third wheel. I'm trying to think of fun activities that don't involve alcohol. No. You said you'd buy a set of drums to learn to play. That's torturing my hangover. Fun for you but it doesn't involve arrows or hitting so I'll allow it.

Maybe. There's only one way to find out.

Sometimes I go with the Border Patrol, or shadow them. And nothing happened to me, but one of Barry's friends was killed here, and then came back remembering what happened.

Movie night sounds good. You're not a third wheel, Tommy.

Drums would be a hobby, and your hangover faces are always fun.

I'll give it a try. Come on, I'll see what we have to make and then you can help by sitting there not touching anything.

[Tommy]
Felicity lives with me, and she'd probably be glad to have a buffer there sometimes, and I'm always glad to have you around.

Okay the Border Patrol makes their living fighting dinosaurs so I won't complain. Okay. That sounds like it shouldn't happen but let's not tempt fate. I wouldn't want to have to beg any magic users to bring you back if you didn't get another life like Barry's friend.

See? It's fun already.

Keep laughing, Queen, I remember a few of your faces too. I also remember drunk passed out Ollie.

You know touching things won't automatically make the food taste bad or burn.

[Ollie]
I like Felicity and I'm pretty sure I like you. I'm glad I get to drop in whenever the mood hits me but, come on, you can't honestly say you want me around all the time.

I don't know, it sounds a little like complaining.

I can veto the movie.

Usually if I was drunk and passed out, you were right there with me.

No, but you'd find a way, Felicity usually does too.

[Tommy]
Pretty sure? Thanks a lot. Tommy, if I could, I'd keep everyone I cared about close enough that I could check in on them all the time and keep them safe. Having you around is not a problem.

	It's worrying. There's a difference. Ugh. Fine. You can veto the movie. Sometimes you passed out first and then I passed out next to you. Or I used you as an Ollie pillow. By that logic, sitting there watching you might make it happen too. [Ollie] You say that now but you'll feel differently after I stealth move in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	besomethingelse 2016-10-16 02:07 am UTC (link)
	They look pretty similar. Nothing with Shark and nado in the title. Or that time you found a sharpie and were feeling artistic. By that logic, I should probably just not make you anything. [Tommy] No I won't, but I'll make you clean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tryingtochange 2016-10-16 02:17 am UTC (link)
	What? You're crazy. They look nothing alike. You would deprive me of those cinematic masterpieces I've heard so much about? And you wouldn't speak to me for, like, half a day no matter how much I frowned at you and made sad eyes. Hey now. Let's not do anything drastic. [Ollie] You monster.

	You're making the same face when you do both, I bet. Yes. Thea already made me watch it once, and you're not missing anything. It was not high art, Tommy. Thought so. [Tommy] And wash dishes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tryingtochange 2016-10-16 09:41 am UTC (link)
	You have no proof. Fine. No Sharknado. I'll have to find something else. Horror in honor of Halloween? Yes it was, Ollie. You just didn't appreciate it. Fine. I'll just sit there, silently, and look pretty while I watch you cook. [Ollie] There's a part of me that wants to accept to just to prove that I can do these things. Cleaning. Dishes. Laundry.

	Felicity could hack your phone's camera. Deal. Ghosts, not serial killers. I'm pretty sure if it was on TV, my face would have been blurred out while your artwork was on there. You can hand me something once in a while, maybe. [Tommy] I know you can, doesn't mean you like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tryingtochange 2016-10-17 09:26 am UTC (link)
	She could but she might not. Poltergeist? They're basically ghosts in The Fog? No one understands my art. Aww. That's all I want. [Ollie] That's incredibly true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	besomethingelse 2016-10-17 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	It depends on if she thinks it's funny and how much candy she's had. I'll go for yes on that. Everyone understands it, that's the problem. Dick on my face is universal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll avoid the dinosaurs too. I know you'd be super upset if something happened to me again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
