Halloween Mixer - 6th Floor, Monday After Classes

[hoorayimrich]

When people arrived for the party, the sixth floor was decked out with what appeared to be half of a party store. Like Halloween got sick all over the place. With glitter. You couldn't have Halloween without an inordinate amount of glitter, right? It was high school, this was a law

Arrive/Mingle

There were pumpkins for carving as well if people were so inclined toward handling sharp knives while socializing.

Since it was a fraternity event, Ben felt that his costume of a giant slice of pizza was only appropriate.

After a few minutes of frustration trying to carve a pumpkin with a knife, he was seriously considering heading down to the weapons locker to pick up his vibroblade. Or a lightsber. That wouldn't end badly, right?

"...pizza? Really?" Tony was trying not to laugh. Because he was a kind, kind friend.

Even if he was wearing yellow booties. At least he wasn't edible.

"I like pizza!" Ben insisted with a frown. "What?"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[hoorayimrich]

"You couldn't think of something cooler?" C'mon, Ben! "Like a robot."

"What's so astral about a droid?" Ben asked. "One was my babysitter when I was a kid."

Ben had a special, special backstory.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[hoorayimrich]

"...lucky." Tony, why are you so strange?

"I figured out how to turn her off before I was eight," Ben said. "It was easier to--" get into trouble, "--explore that way."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[hoorayimrich]

Which would have still been amazing.

"So, Topher told me about this laser tag thing."

"I didn't want to break it to him that we're going to completely kick his ass at robotics," Ben said, "but we would, right?"

After her conversation with Tony, Rosella couldn't help clanking over toward Ben in her armor with a smile.

"I hope you don't mind me saying this," she said, adopting her dashing knight in shining armor voice, "but that costume makes you look absolutely delectable."

It would be nice if she could blame that comment on Tony enabling her, but the fact of the matter was that it was all, unfortunately, her.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Ben blushed bright red.

"Um."

Well played, Ben.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[perilless]

Once again, Rosella's training in etiquette served her well; it allowed her to only snort in an effort to hold back her laugh rather than just laughing outright in the poor pizza's face.

"That is to say, of course," she continued, unable to help herself, "that I swear I could just...eat you right up!"

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[momslilassassin]

"Please don't," Ben said. "It's some kind of rubber and I'm sure it would be terrible."

Thank you, Ben.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[perilless]

"You know," said Rosella after a moment of searching Ben's face to see if he was being serious, "you're surprisingly serious for a young man wearing a pizza."

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[momslilassassin]

Ben grinned. "Sorry. I'm told I'm terrible with innuendo."
