Staring up to the moon, Nick smiled a bit. It was nice and bright, perfect for the occasion. Maybe it came with age, but celebrating the holidays was almost as fun as an adult as they were when he had been a kid.

He was standing in his room, fixing up the last bit of his costume; instead of being one of the five freaking billion vampires out on the lawn, he was going as a gentleman zombie, complete with a bite-riddled top hat and cane. Very sexy.

He adjusted his tie and prepared to go down to his guests when his vision suddenly exploded with white light. Whoa. The next sensation he was aware of was his knees hitting the floor with a rather sharp thud. Whoa, and now, ow. His vision cleared quickly, leaving him dizzy and a little sick.

...That wasn't good...

"Maybe I should toss that pumpkin booze out," he mused, "thought it tasted funny..." Right-o, first on the order then, as he got back up and headed down the stairs without much of a fuss.

"Helen, no." Now the first and second, respectively, most often used words that Nick used nowadays. In this instance, from the toddler chewing on a tablecloth edge. She turned around with wide eyes, surprised. She'd been caught!

He had to laugh at the expression and picked her up. "You know better, {princess}. Come on, let's go find Mommy." She babbled her agreement. Right then. Off they went, into the small crowd of people who'd arrived. The party was being held outside, so everything that needed to be off the ground were on big round tables, just out of reach from children and pets. The weather was fair, the grass was soft, and in an added bonus for Nick, Hades was nowhere in sight.

Hoo-shaw.

( What was all this? Because the real estate market crashed, people were selling their souls now? At least Nick had given her a good reason and hadn't sold his soul to the Devil. Still, idly, she did wonder if she could rebuke Hades in the name of the Lord. Probably not. Sad. )

What: Aoilos Halloween Party!
Where: Piera Theater
When: Halloween~ (after the kiddies go home)
Warnings: TBA ... and Doom.

Just before 11 and Melpomene was doing a final check around the theater for the second wave of the event. Podiums like columns were set up with the displays for the items to be auctioned -- three with sets of jewelry, the boat from Hades (a toy boat on top, picture behind), two entertainment baskets with movie tickets, gift cards and promises of shows at the Piera, three different masks that Mel had made herself with different items that went with each one (one had art supplies, another gardening, and a third things for children), a romance basket, and a few others ones that had been set up -- all were spaced about the upstairs with a bar, stands in front of them to take record of the amounts being offered in the silent auction. Downstairs, the stage was prepped for dancing, the edges of the stage guarded with streamers to prevent people from falling off, and the small envelopes containing prizes or coupons for prizes were hidden all through out the theater. Almost literally. Rugs, bathrooms, seats, lights, even auction podiums weren't safe from the things. Mel intended to casually stick them on people as they milled about as well as yet another way to finish off the thirty of so she held in her hands.

Somewhere in the mess of staff setting out food for refreshments or reorganizing the bars, maybe cleaning messes or setting up the prize table, Nick would be in his headless horseman costume with Helen in his arms. Hopefully Shadow would be close by as well. The backroom was set up as a place for the baby to sleep if she didn't do so in her parents arms, but who knew how quiet it would even be there?

Walking to the front of the theater, she smiled behind her tragedy mask, so much like the real one, and peered out at the people standing on the red carpet that had been set out. The gold banded watch on her wrist said five more minutes, but why wait? Grabbing a mic near the door, she announced into the theater as a whole. "Showtime."

There was a flurry as people rushed to places, and Mel nodded to herself. This would work. Turning around, she opened the doors, and let the guests in. Let the tricks and treats begin...
