[MINGLE; PRE-MIDNIGHT]

[ The stage is set. The building is comfortable, you may or may not be in costume, but the one thing you are in is good company. There's fizzy orange drinks with cute little bat-shaped ice cubes, cakes of all kinds, emphasis on the sweet. But hey, if you don't have a sweet tooth, there's always that fine looking meat cake over there.

There's classic music tracks from old Halloween movies, the animated Sleepy Hollow playing on a TV, and there's even apple bobbing. Who apple bobs indoors? You do, apparently.

This is surprisingly nice. ]

Oh well.

Ah... Do you know who's hosting this party? It never said on the invitation I got.

Re: Naoto - Open

[pishirogane]

No, I don't. It leaves an unsettling feeling, but perhaps the host will reveal themselves later. Halloween is meant to be surprising, correct?

Re: Naoto - Open

[apathetic_seal]

Yeah. Probably some sort of event planned. Hopefully it'll be interesting and not just a series of jump scares or something.

Re: Naoto - Open

[pishirogane]

After an elaborate set up like this, that would ruin the entire event.

Re: Naoto - Open

[apathetic_seal]

Hm. Anything in particular you'd like to see?

Re: Naoto - Open

[pishirogane]

... Not really. This is my first time in attendance to a party like this. I'm not sure what to expect later.

Re: Naoto - Open

[apathetic_seal]

Ah. Can't say I've been to many, either. Guess it'll be a surprise for both of us.

Re: Naoto - Open

[pishirogane]

Indeed.

[She takes a sip of the orange drink]

[Kanji's not exactly dressed up either - hell, enough people mistake him fora biker as it is, why make the effort for anything else? Of course, he knows sticking close to Naoto isn't the best of ideas since those stupid rings won't stop with the hearts and sappy music which gets worse when they're close, but they can at least start off together, right?]

Pretty fancy set-up here, huh?

Re: Naoto - Open

[pishirogane]

[Yes the... hearts are getting ridiculous, but there's nothing they can do about them. She nods, smiling a bit]

Yes. Our host certainly went out of their way paying attention to detail.

Re: Naoto - Open

[ziobrawler]

Guess they wanted to go all-out. The ice-cubes are pretty cute, I gotta admit.

[And he just smiles at her, happy to be in her company but knowing he has to be discreet.]

Re: Naoto - Open

[pishirogane]

They're a fitting touch. A shame they melt quickly.

[Yes, cute is in her boyfriend's vocabulary, but that's fine. That's Kanji being Kanji.]

Re: Naoto - Open

[ziobrawler]

Yeah...still, guess they wouldn't look the same past Halloween. Guess we could try making them anyway, though.

[Or, you know. Making bats that don't melt]

Re: Naoto - Open

[pishirogane]

We could try making shaped ice cubes if you want to... How about something festive for the next holiday?

[There must be a way to keep the ice from melting quickly.]

Re: Naoto - Open

[ziobrawler]

I'd like that.

[Especially the "we" part]
