Kitty's costume was awesome and no one could tell her otherwise!

Decked out in black pleather, goggles, a brown cape, with toy guns in holsters, and a very shiny lightsaber in her hands, with her own hair hidden under a red wig, she made a pretty awesome Mara Jade, if she didn't say so herself!

She just hoped Star Wars existed in this universe, or else no one was going to get it.

...Okay, she doubted anyone was going to get it, since she'd gone Extended Universe instead of anyone from the movies or Clone Wars cartoon, but still. She looked good!

Negi didn't know what costume he should wear. If he was at Mahora he was certain that he would be forced into some...strange getup by the girls. He didn't really know what to go with though as there were so many fun things he could wear. Eventually he'd decided to go as a cowboy since finding a pair of cowboy boots, jeans, plaid shirt, long coat, and hat would be easy enough. To further get in the spirit of things he'd decided to use one of his age change pills, making him look older and taller. Now it was really like a costume since even back home his students had been fooled by the magic of the age-changing pills.

Pleased with the effect Negi made his way to the party and spied Miss Kitty almost immediately. "Hello," he said, remembering to tip his hat like a real cowboy. This was going to be fun. He didn't recognize her costume...though the lightsaber stood out to him. "Ah...is that from Star Wars?"

Link had found the table of food and candy and was wandering back through the crowd as he munched on his sweets when he saw Kitty, he ran up to her and smiled,"Miss Kitty! I like your costume!"

He then noticed the guy standing with her. He sure looked awfully familiar. Like Link had met him here before. And in person, not over the network. So Link just stared at him, trying to put a name to a face

But why was this so hard? He hadn't met that many people in person so far... wait, that guy, it couldn't be.

Link was stunned speechless, and he just gaped at what he thought had to be Negi with an extremely confused look on his face, only able to squeak out a "Wha.. what?"

[felis_umbra]

"Yeah, Mara Jade, from the Extended Un-" Kitty started to answer automatically, but then stopped, as her mind processed what she was seeing.

There was a cowboy who apparently knew her, and was talking to her. And he looked familiar. And apparently, he also looked familiar to Link. And he'd called her Miss Kitty, which meant...

"Negi? That's... some costume. This... isn't a time travel thing, is it?" She'd had that happen to friends, it totally wasn't unheard of.

Allen wasn't used to such a fuss made about being decked out for All Hallow's eve but he made sure to live up to the holiday. He'd replaced his Exorcist uniform with the bright greens and lively colors of the Mad Hatter. He tipped his hat like the gentleman he could be at the door. The hat was swept off his head and kept in one hand, his pristine white gloves remaining.

Sometimes parties happened at the Order. It made him smile fondly to see all the decorations. A pang of homesickness came and went hidden behind his usual friendly smile. He recognized a few people from the network, Miss Starr and Winry. For now he'd trail the edges of the party, curious about what was supposed to happen here. Hopefully nothing as crazy as Komui's games.

At least he's not wearing glitter?

[godofcologne]

He hadn't planned on coming, but after confronting Kincaid, Thomas had felt nostalgic enough that he conceded that showing up for Harry's birthday wasn't going to be the end of the end of the world. At least, not this year.

He hoped.

But the fact that it was a last minute decision meant he had only a little time to put together a costume to maximize the ability for him to irritate his little brother. He thought he did pretty well.

Pulling the wooden wand from his pocket (oh that was going to be a fun one all afternoon), Thomas walked into the Blackstone's ballroom, the edge of his robe nearly brushing the Mad Hatter. He adjusted the fake glasses he was wearing and grinned at said Hatter. "Evening," he said in an eeriely accurate English accent. "You wouldn't happen to have seen any trolls around?"

I'd have died laughing if he'd been wearing glitter.

[crossgrave]

The accent threw Allen off at first. He grinned brightly at Thomas, raising his cup in a small acknowledgment of the flawless mimicking of his native accent. "I can't say I have, but the night is young, Mister Thomas. Maybe we'll see a few before the party is over." He dug into his hat and pulled out a deck of playing cards.

"And tell me if you see the Marsh Hare." Allen said as he shuffled the cards, tossing them back into the hat. "Never on time!" He added as if he really was the Hatter from Through the Looking glass.

The day is young... >_> <_<

[godofcologne]

"As long as they're not the hungry kind," Thomas answered, momentarily dropping the accent as he waved the wand around. "This thing's only good for bludgeoning."

He watched as Allen shuffled the cards and laughed, slipping back into character, fake accent and all. "Maybe if you start the tea party, the Hare'll find his way by."

[falseswordsgirl]

Yue decided to go to the party dressed as a witch. It was simple, thematic for the holiday, and she had the hat already. It wasn't like she had a lot of time to look for a costume. In place of her school uniform she was wearing a simple black dress. Her artifact robe and hat, and a simple black mask over her eyes.

She wanted to be part of the activity, but still recognizable enough to anyone from home they could spot her. Hence her own hat and robe, as well as her book and broom in hand. The hat also gave a chance she might be seen over any crowd. Being short wasn't useful for looking around a group of people.

[boogieandrock]

A witch for a witch, though Etna's choice wasn't the traditional sort. But really, who was she to deny herself a chance to dress up and go to a good party? She just had to find a good costume and come up with a good story behind it (and maybe practice that story in front of a mirror a few times) and she was ready to go. This party wouldn't even know what hit it.

But as soon as Etna stepped into the hotel where the party was being held, bright red lights started going off, and Etna had to squint to see through them. "What, did I win something?" she asked aloud, putting her hands on her hips. The thought crossed her mind that maybe this was some kind of alarm, but what kind of alarm didn't have any noise alongside it?

"Oi, you," she called to the girl in the witch costume nearby. "What's going on?"

[falseswordsgirl]

Yue felt a thrum of power when the red lights started up. Turning her head to the latest addition to the room. ...Not human. Not the sort of thing you miss, really. Ears, always the ears. It did make it easier to tell these things. "If I were to guess, someone set up an alarm system against anyone that isn't human."

Yue adjusted her grip on her broom. She could do plenty with just this focii, and Equipping right now might be a problem. Also, she was friends with a few locals to the Magic world, which humans were not in the majority.

[boogieandrock]

"Oh, really?" Etna asked, relatively unconcerned with the wards that continued to go off around her. At least for awhile, anyway. After a few seconds, her mouth turned downward into a small scowl as she glared at the red, blaring lights. "Well, do you know anyone around here who can turn these off? They're starting to get kind of annoying."

[godofcologne]

[wanders around the party, brandishing his wand, looking really amused and drinking punch]

[beatdiva_starr]

[Starr is snacking on some cookies, glad to see the party thriving. She spies Thomas and waves]

Enjoying yourself?

[she pauses when she gets closer and hears his music more distinctly. there's something familiar about it but she can't place her finger on it since it's also in a room full of a lot of other people with their own tunes]

[godofcologne]

[at the approach of the girl from the network, Thomas grins widely] I am now, gorgeous. You throw a great party.

[beatdiva_starr]

[flushes slightly, and while she is thinking how hot he is despite the costume she is also wondering why the heck she is thinking such things to begin with] I have a knack for these kinds of things. Nice costume.

[she focuses on the music and that combined with the feeling tips her off to something and she blinks. could he be...hmm...maybe she should test this theory first before she starts breaking baseball bats over people's heads, dressing up like a baseball player was a brilliant idea]

I hope Harry doesn't miss his own birthday party though.

Chauvelin had a horrible curious streak that really, really needed to be addressed at some point. Likely by a trained therapist. With a free schedule.

But, as it had not yet been taken care of, the little Frenchman found himself peeking into an open doorway, listening to the sounds of a party of some sort coming to being inside.

He looked down at the flyer he'd pulled from a nearby lamppost. It did, indeed, seem to be the place. But what sort of party had little paper skeletons hanging about? Not that he was complaining -- Chauvelin did have an interest in the macabre.

At the very least, he'd gather more information about the strange city. If he was lucky, they'd have some food to pilfer; with 18th century currency, it was considerably difficult to buy a proper meal.

[layerofdirt]

Toph had been wandering around the city when she felt a large amount of people in a very small place. Not being one to miss out on excitement, Toph went towards the vibrations and entered the building, hearing strange music and a bunch of people talking and having a good time.

The earthbender entered the room, wondering why there was paper hanging around the room and why anyone would desecrate vegetables. The music was loud, and something entirely different to what she was used to. She walked up to a man who felt like he was wearing very fancy clothing. "So, fancy-pants, what's going on?"

[123_geese]

"Mrph?"

Chauvelin had, at that very moment, been sampling some of the small cookies laid out on a platter. They seemed to be in the shape of bats and spiders. A strange choice, but it certainly fit the rest of the theme.

He turned, looking for the voice, only glancing down after a moment's confusion. Fancy pants?

"This is a party, young lady," he said, less irked by disrespect from a child than from an adult. "Beyond that," he shrugged, "I haven't the slightest clue."

[layerofdirt]

Toph mimicked the man and grabbed a cookie for herself. To her surprise, it wasn't that bad.

"Well, it's a boring one. What's with the music? The party Aang threw for the students in the Fire Nation was a lot better." Sure, the party sucked in her opinion, but there was free food, so she'd be sticking around for a little longer.
