Going to a Dead Man's Party, Pt 1
Who: EVERYONE.
What: CASKET’s 16th Annual Halloween Party!!!
Where: CASKET
When: October 30th, starting at 7 pm sharp! This thread is getting posted early so everyone can get a head start on the festivities, since this weekend will undoubtedly be busy.
Warnings: Anything can happen.
Notes: All right, boils and ghouls, this is how things will go down.

Upon arriving at CASKET, for two hours everyone will remain in their mortal forms. Drink, discuss, have a good time. Please label your thread with the location of your character - At The Bar, On The Dance Floor, Lounge Area, On Stage Singing My Drunk Little Heart Out, In The Bathroom Puking My Guts Out, whatever strikes your fancy.

Let’s have everyone be nice and courteous: please ask before entering a thread in which there are already two people, unless of course you already have it planned that way.

At 9pm sharp, the deities will begin to take over their mortal shells, though not entirely; only certain aspects will show through, whether it be appearance, powers, or whatever. No full transformations. In this thread, you don’t have to worry about the deities just yet - I will post a second thread for that part of the night.

Have at!


Waiting for an invitation to arrive...goin' to a party where no one's still alive...

CASKET was done up with bells - every inch of the club was redecorated for the main event of the year. Though Julian professed to like no holiday above another, Halloween had always held a special place in his heart. Even if, in modern times, it was meant for those of a younger age, that didn’t mean those of a younger spirit couldn’t join in on the festivities as well! And he strove to provide the most elaborate environment possible for everyone to get their freak on. The addition of Pax patrons was a nice touch, or so he thought - with how lucrative his neighbors had been thus far, who knew what could happen next?

Red lights were exchanged for ultraviolet, hoping to pick out and showcase ghoulish specters in their best light. Every bartender was done up in the best make-up money could buy, elaborate skulls painted on their faces and dressed to match with bones detailing arms and rib cages. The stage area was covered in a thick, ground creeping fog, The Crypt Keeper Five’s instruments already set up and ready to take center stage once the karaoke was done for the evening. Multicolored string lights of skulls were hung from the rafters, adding a festive air to the space amidst the spiderwebs and other macabre decorations. Julian was surveying his work, his own face done up in a friendly looking sugar skull, skeletal gloves covering his fingers while a suit made him seem rather dashing despite his dead demeanor.

The club was already brimming with costume guests, ranging from the sexy to the obscene; as long as no one toted a fake weapon, anything was welcome. Lingering by the bar, he watched the entrance to see who might show up first - and to see if a certain wife was going to make an appearance. His mind lingered for the barest of moments over what would be clinging to those curves, but Julian quickly wiped his mind clean of those thoughts. Undoubtedly she’d only be here to cause trouble, nothing more. Instead, he ordered a Blue Voodoo Doll, which a skeletal Yvette handed to him with a smile. With his potentially most loyal ally manning the bar, Julian was ready for whatever this evening might bring; his lips curved into a smile as Oingo Boingo’s No One Lives Forever blared out over the sound system.

Lucy looked back in the direction that James disappeared. Anger hadn't fit into her mental picture for how the night would go. She had been sure the two of them would get along. For some reason, her mind had connected the two of them. She had just naturally assumed that because of that connection, everything would go swimmingly.

She turned back to Richard and crossed her arms. "I told you, he's my friend. He's not my ex, but he is angry. I don't know why though. Maybe he's just having a bad night. You shouldn't have been so mean. I could have fixed it."

She wasn't sure she'd be able to do that now. She didn't like that idea.

Richard followed her gaze, glaring at the place where James had disappeared. The whole encounter felt unfinished, as if there was more to be said. It was uncomfortable, but he knew that to salvage any of the night he would have to let it go. For now. After all, he'd probably see James again. Something about him was immediately familiar, as if they had run in to each other recently before this event.

But now, he had to focus on Lucy. He hadn't meant to make her angry, and that, at least, was something he could try to fix. Before he answered her accusation he took a deep breath, almost sighing, and rubbed the side of his nose, collecting his thoughts. What did she want to hear?

"I... I have a hard time being nice to people who are mean to me. Or to my friends." He tried for a calm he didn't exactly feel, and shook his head. "I don't care how bad his night was, he didn't have any right to speak to you like that. But maybe I was out of line in how I responded. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable." That, at least, was honest. He wasn't sorry for anything he had done, but the way Lucy had reacted... that he was sorry for.

She felt this strong need to defend James. The way Richard was scolding him for his behavior irritated her. James was a good person. He had been nothing but exceedingly kind and thoughtful in regards to her. Richard had never met him before now, as far as she could tell, so he had no right to judge him.

"People don't mean what they say or how they sound when they are upset. He's a very nice person, don't judge him because of this. There's a lot more to him than what you just saw. But apology accepted."

Things felt different between them now. Everything had been pretty light-hearted and good spirited, but now she couldn't help but look at him more carefully. She immediately sided with James in this situation, whatever it may be, and felt herself feeling a little less at ease with him.

"I'm sorry for all of that." She was, too. She was very sorry that their relaxed evening had taken this sort of turn. She was sorry on James' behalf. She had a feeling James would never do it himself, so it was up to her if any apologizing was going to be done.

Richard literally bit his tongue, determined not to provoke her any further. Internally, he doubted very much whether James was a nice person. Lucy seemed the type to make excuses for people, or simply to overlook their transgressions in favor of believing the best of them. It was a dangerous stance, especially around someone who was ready to come to blows because of a casual date, but not one that Richard could talk her out of in one night.

"No need to apologize," he said, shaking his head. "None of that was your fault. Let's just put it behind us, yeah? No reason to let it ruin our night." From the look on her face, it might already be too late for that. Still, he wasn't about to give up the evening without a fight. The beer was good and he liked Lucy, even if he did feel a bit resentful for how far she was going to protect James. Who definitely didn't deserve it.

He was right. This was suppose to be fun. She just had to figure out how to get that back. She wasn't feeling very festive at the moment. She just felt tired. She wanted to go home, curl up in a ball and watch a ridiculous movie. Richard deserved better than that, though.

"You're right. We won't let it ruin the night. Everything will be just fine." She hoped. Maybe if she said it in her head enough, she'd believe it. Power of persuasion, right? Her dad was a big believer in that, so it must be true. She'd focus her energy on believing everything was fine, and it would be. They'd have a great time at the party and the night would be a success. She'd worry about James later.

She smiled at him and hoped it wasn't as tired as she felt. A tired smile wouldn't do much to lift morale.
