Halloween Party

[idolpro]

Who: IDOLS
Where: FAUKYO
When: Day 48, evening

[ When evening falls over Tokyo-F— earlier now as it begins getting colder, the city simulating the start of fall— the moon rises an eerie eclipse red. candles float eerily above the street, and jack-o-lanterns have appeared of their own accord on empty storefronts and in doorways. Cobwebs have sprouted between the trees despite the city's lack of spiders, and music is pumping from somewhere unknown with Halloween music— it's not all idol music this time, congratulations, though some of it certainly is. Enjoy Camille Saint-Saëns's Danse Macabre interspersed with Ali Project and Michael Jackson's Thriller.

In the park the tea houses and greenhouse have been set up as miniature haunted houses with jump scares and weird distorted mirrors— BAD END=DEAD END might want to avoid these— and candy rewards at the end for making it through the gauntlet.

The hotel lobby has been filled with halloween decorations in a haphazard jumble, waiting for the idols to take them to decorate or at least move them outside of the hotel if they want the couches to be useable without sitting on a pile of fake tombstones and bodies. There's also a small set-up by the kitchen with makeup, fake fangs, and fake blood for anyone's use. Besides that, there's a rack of costumes, with a warning sign— all prospective Cinderellas, these costumes will vanish with the rays of the morning sun!

...probably you'll want to take heed. ]

[in a costume]

Basically. Like a masquerade.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ One eyebrow

Goes up ]

Anything we want, then?

[criminaljustice]

Pretty much!

[puzzlekeeper]

And what is it you've chosen to disguise yourself as?

[ He doesn't actually sound judgmental. A man can wear a skirt if he wants to!!!! ]

[criminaljustice]

Some kind of burglar. Since this place keeps reminding me they tried to name me Prisoner, I figured a prisoner's stripe look was a nice touch.

[puzzlekeeper]

Then what name did you go with instead?

[ He has no idea who he's talking to ]

[criminaljustice]

Oh, I guess I haven't introduced myself.

I'm Boss.

[SECOND IMPRESSION IS WHAT NOW?]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ TALKING TO PEOPLE ON PHONES IS CONFUSING ]

—Ah, so you're Boss.

[criminaljustice]

The one and only.

[does a little of a showman bow because there is just not enough skirt for a curtsy.]

[puzzlekeeper]

Yes, your self-disseminated reputation precedes you.

[criminaljustice]

I never really thought about my reputation that much, admittedly.

[puzzlekeeper]

I think that's for the best. Preoccupying yourself with it would either be very good for your ego, or very bad.

[criminaljustice]

And boy aren't there a lot of things to make it go bad.

[shakes his head, smiling.]

Anyway, costume party. You can choose pretty much any outfit.

[puzzlekeeper]

Interesting. Well, I should clearly choose something that has some kind of meaning...

[criminaljustice]

I mean... go with what's fun for you. That's kinda the point of this.

[puzzlekeeper]

Well then, that's exactly what I'll do!

[ B suggested the most important costume so brief interlude for him to become a pharaoh now, incredible. ]

We should do this kind of thing more often.
