Superhero Party Mingle
The time has come! All of the stars have aligned at it is...

Superhero Party in Quatro Park! Some decorations have been put up, mostly appearing to be comic book action words like 'BLAM!' and 'POW!'. There is a table for food with picnic-ish style fare. A few placards for the food are mildly punny for another who has read comic books. Another table is set up for make your own masks for those that weren't prepared. There are a few games out, but periodically Carl will host the foam sword "battles" set to music that is not fitting for a sword fight just for amusement value.

Anyone can come to the party even if they just want to be themselves and not pretend to be a superhero.

[Sarah carefully makes her way over to him, cursing her heels as she walks. The only superhero thing about her is the bookworm plastered on her undershirt. Other than that, she looks like a librarian. Pencil skirt, glasses, button down... But she's thrilled to see he managed to find a comic book cape. So delighted, it chases away the lingering sadness from the day before.]

Nice party Carl!

	Hey, Sarah! [He smiles as she comes over to him, assessing her costume. Definitely impressive] Thanks. Are you enjoying yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-05 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Very much so. [Meaning, she's literally just walked up and saw him. Hasn't even had a chance to look at the food or the swords or anything. Though she had seen the masks. Her face brightens.] Oh! You took my idea! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-05 03:15 am UTC (link)
	[And he's perfectly fine with that answer. Not even going to question it] I did. I thought it was a good idea for those who didn't bring anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-06 04:04 am UTC (link)
	That's great. I'm glad it worked. So the swords though... how exactly does that work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-06 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	It's an improvised battle, but the music is unfitting for a fake battle... like slow classical music. And you and your partner have to make your fake battle fit the music. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-07 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	Oh that's... [really really cool.] Well what are you waiting for! We have to have a sword fight! [She's just going to grab for your hand to drag you over by the foam swords now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-08 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Cool. [And he will follow her over, not even going to object. Lead by example after all. He picked up the swords and offered her one of them] Do you want to be the one to select the random music or do you want me to? [Basically mp3 with a random selection of music] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-08 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah shrugged as she hefts the foam sword. She knows absolutely nothing about real swords much less fake ones.] You go ahead and choose. [She's just now noticing her shoes will be problematic. She kicks them off. Problem solved.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-09 04:05 am UTC (link)
	Okay. [Carl goes ahead and "picks" the song. What they get is Mercury from the Planets Suite. Okay, so it has dramatic moments, but not nearly enough. So they'll only do a minute or so of this] I think this is good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[OOC: I've always wanted to play this, but I was't in a high enough band in college to do it.] [Sarah takes a moment to listen before holding her sword up en garde.] Ready when you are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-15 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	[ooc: Wow, that is really ironic] [Carl lifts his sword as well. This will be a good opportunity to show others how this should work] Ready. [And he starts, of course making sure it matches the music] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-17 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah raises her sword, though she's not quite sure what she's going to do yet... leaving a perfect opening for Carl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-18 02:09 am UTC (link)
	[He's definitely making a move, though it has more showmanship than a normal fight would so it will take longer for him to actually hit her] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The sight of him coming at her is funny in a way. She giggles once, then sets to trying to block it... appropriately for the music.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-20 02:36 am UTC (link)
	[And she does succeed in blocking, just because it is more fun to draw out the "battle" as much as possible. He'll pull back like he is going to attack her again, but he's clearly letting her have an opportunity to go for him] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Sarah twirls as she goes for him, trying to come up with as many stylistically complicated flourishes as she can. Now that she's figuring it out, Sarah's really quite good at making an extremely complicated but perfectly fitting fight. Until the point where she lifts her arms and splits the white button up shirt she's wearing down the back. Thank goodness for the tank top underneath.]

Oh no!!!

	[Carl was rather enjoying this. As Sarah began to put more flourishes into the fight so did he. It was definitely more fun that way. When she raised her arms up, he heard the fabric rip, but wasn't quite sure what it was until her reaction. Oops] Oh! [And that's the point when he stops the music and pulls off the cape that he's wearing and offers it to her] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-24 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah takes the cape and wraps it around herself as she tries to assess the damage. It's just the button up that damaged, but it's enough to ruin the effect of the costume.] Well, nothing too bad. But it does ruin the costume. And I so liked the idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-25 03:32 am UTC (link)
	[Carl practically stands guard while she does. It was just a shirt ripping, but he seems very serious about it, wanting to protect her] We can always find you another one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-25 04:52 pm UTC (link)
	[Sarah unwraps herself from his cape and hands it back to him.] It's actually easier to fight in just the undershirt. [The one with a little green worm wearing glasses and reading a book happens to be scrawled across her chest.] And then I can try and figure out what the Book Worm's actual costume is. Not just her alter ego. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-26 12:57 am UTC (link)
	[Carl takes the cape back when she holds it out and puts it back on] Yeah, I guess it would be easier. That would be cool, coming up with her actual costume. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-26 01:47 am UTC (link)
	After I beat you in this sword fight of course! [And she's standing en garde again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anothermonster 2016-02-26 02:40 am UTC (link)
	Oh is that so? [And he'll restart the music and come en garde as well. Let's do this!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	labyrinthrunner 2016-02-26 02:42 am UTC (link)
	[It goes better this time. And even if it is about matching movement to music, and even if Sarah is doing an excellent job of that, she still goes in for the kill.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
