Party!!!, Purposefully Creepy Mansion, Friday Evening

[breakfastlover]

It was Halloween and that meant one thing: there was a party at the mansion.

Okay, it probably meant more than just one thing, but for Mike? Yeah, that one thing was the most important one. Kinda trumped everything else. Unlike last year, he hadn't had help from April, so the level of overall gore and genuine creepiness was a little lower. But

Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2014]

[breakfastlover]

Tons of moddable snacks and beverages in both creepy and non-creepy varieties. Also, jello shots, including creepy as well.

And a ton of candy.

Jackson was wearing a pair of red dollar store devil horns. The kind that were stuck on a headband for ease of wearing. No, they hadn't been his choice, but they were what Mike had stuck on his head when he'd shown up without a costume on.

They were very shiny.

He didn't think he'd stick around for very long. But while he was here, he was eating some snacks.

Emma was still in her sock hop costume (and still being plenty bitey about it), so Jack went with the inevitable and picked out a matching costume.

The fact the marching costume involved little beyond putting on a leather jacket and a white t-shirt and slicking his hair up had influenced his choice only a little.

He hovered near the food, trying to stop Emma from diving whiskers-first into the punch as he claimed some Jello shots.

"Um," Kitty said when she saw the ermine.

"No, Emma," Jack helpfully enunciated, and shifted the ermine to his shoulders so she wasn't quite such an obvious health hazard. "She's been like this since Monday. I figured if she stuck me taking care of her, the least I could do to repay her was dress her up."

If an ermine could look contemptuous, Emma did.

"...This is my favorite Halloween ever," Kitty decided. "She might just decide to make you think you're a frog for a week or something."

Emma seemed to think that was an excellent idea.

"If she does, she'd have to be the one to find enough flies to feed me," Jack said, and screwed up his face. ".... ew. Maybe I shouldn't tease her."

"At least not too much. But me on the other hand... I think I need a picture because I definitely have an Emma who needs to be teased pretty much at all times," Kitty said.

"Go for it," Jack said, obligingly holding Emma at an angle so the skirt would show. "Does she know she's got a double here?"

The existence of an Emma who needed to be teased ... he had no doubt about that.

"Yep," she said, snapping a picture with her phone. Jack was the best. "The bonus of coming from somewhere insane is that I can tell them things like 'you have a double in Maryland' and no one even really blinks."

"I suppose you wouldn't," Jack said thoughtfully. "I'm still allowed to think it's a little strange, though."

Emma twitched toward Kitty's phone. "I think she wants to see if you got a good angle."

Kitty pulled up the picture to show her. "I'm not deleting it if I got your bad side," she said, thus marking the strangest thing she'd ever said to an ermine. Also, the first thing she'd ever said to an ermine.

Emma seemed to think an appropriate response to that would be lunging for Kitty's fingers. Luckily, Jack's grip was firm.

"Enough," he told her. "No staying at the party if you bite people, remember?"

Jack's week had been full of odd things to say to an ermine.

"Sounds like you've been having a fun time," Kitty said.

Re: Snacks and Beverages [Halloween 2014]

[bitten_notshy]

Jack grinned and rolled his eyes. "It's grand," he reported. "Especially when she bites my fingers or goes under the furniture so I have to lure her out with food. I swear she thinks that's funny. But she can't stay this way forever."

He hoped not, anyhow.

"Obviously you're going to have to turn into an animal next and get your revenge," she told him. Joking, yes.
