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 this cheeseburgery outfit

and is plucking the fake kunai out of the air when it's tossed up]

The outfit? Now you know how Bad End feels. You look nice, though

[artisticliberty]

[hey, give that back!]

No, I meant the weapon. But the outfit is a little thin, come to think of it. Thank you, though.

You look very ostentatious.

[that might be code for "ridiculous", but fox is giving boss an approving look, so maybe not]

[criminaljustice]

[you can't see this eyebrow lift but like. tossing the fake kunai around and catching it]

Well, I am a phantom thief. So why not a burglar outfit? is the thought process.

[artisticliberty]

[watching him toss it, eyes following the movement of the kunai]

Is this the sort of thing burglars wear?

[criminaljustice]

Cartoon burglars, maybe.

[artisticliberty]

As long as you're dressed like one, does that mean you'll play the part?

[criminaljustice]

If it's fun, sure. Why not?

[artisticliberty]

[if it's fun... hmmm...

!

abruptly snatches the kunai in midair while boss is tossing it around]

[criminaljustice]

--ah.

... well, easy come, easy go.

[artisticliberty]

Hmhmhm... now I am the one who has burgled you.

[he looks proud]

[criminaljustice]

... that's true.

[but now he's going for getting in close and... attempting to haul Fox up and over his shoulder.

A KIDNAPPING ATTEMPT?]

[artisticliberty]

[artisticliberty]

So it was me you were after? How fiendishly clever of you. However, we are far from finished.

[artisticliberty]

[he plants both of his hands on the back of boss's shoulders and hoists himself up, swinging his leg around to catch his other shoulder. then he twists himself so that he's sitting on boss's shoulders from behind, one leg draped over each.

it will be a gosh darn miracle if they stay upright for more than a minute.]

[criminaljustice]

[HEELS ARE NOT MADE FOR THIS

... yeah, he's gonna end up flat on his face]

[artisticliberty]

[yelps as he falls with him, landing in a pile of limbs. kunoichi always make this look so easy :( :( :(]
