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. ]

[someone is out having a good time--

and then he sees a familiar face he's only seen via A's memories and just.

...

GDIT, ALCHEME PREDICTIONS.]

[mapsio]

[ My god.

She doesn't want to ask.



She doesn't....want to ask. Smiling politely. ]

[criminaljustice]

[welp.

this is awkward.]

... oh. New arrivals?

[AAAAAAAHHH???]

[mapsio]

[ This is 100% awkward. No, 10000%. ]

That is right.

[ Who is she to even judge right now, they're both rocking pretty ridiculous looks right now. ]

[criminaljustice]

[and he even willingly got into the ridiculous outfit, so like...]

Right, uh... welcome to Tokyo-F, I guess. I'm... my profile says Prisoner but I tend to go by Boss--sometimes Joker.

[mapsio]

[ There are no words for that. ]

Thank you, Boss. My profile says something a little embarrassing. So we are going to go with Primrose.

[ She still can't help staring at his costume, rip. ]

[criminaljustice]

[tmw u decided not to give anymore fucks about what people think... and yet discover more fucks to give.]

Primrose is a nice name.

I don't tend to look at profiles, so you don't have to worry about that embarrassment with me.

... just. Probably other embarrassments.

[vague gesture at his outfit with a bit of a helpless laugh? JUST GONNA OWN IT.]

[mapsio]

[ Yeah, yeah... she is gonna laugh with him. Because she gestures to her own outfit. ]

I suppose I really don't have much room to be staring, do I?

[ Sometimes you just gotta own your not so great ideas. ]

[criminaljustice]

I dunno. I think you look very sweet.

[he couldn't resist, ok.]

[mapsio]

[ at least it made her laugh. ]

Flattery only gets you so far.

[criminaljustice]

Hopefully far enough to break the ice a little.

What unit are you on? Normally, the outfits give it away but...

[costumes.]

[mapsio]

It certainly helped in your favor.

Heart Soldier Senshi, who definitely do not wear outfits like this.

[ Imagine all of HSS in varying designs of Atlus' bad decisions. ]

Yourself?

[criminaljustice]

BAD END=DEAD END.

We're more... punk aesthetic.

And I know some of Heart Soldier Senshi pretty well. Hiryuu and I tend to work together on some side projects sometimes.

[mapsio]

The name itself sounds a little edgy.

[ Nod nod. ]

So perhaps that means we will see more of one another, if you work closely with some of my unitmates.

[criminaljustice]

Well... yeah. That. And some other reasons.

But you're still adjusting, so we can talk about that later, if you're feeling a little overwhelmed.

[idk how to talk about this, Fox accepted it really easy but also... Fox is Fox.]

[mapsio]

If you say so, I’m not sure too much more could surprise me today.

It’ll take some time for me nkt to be so overwhelmed. But I think I’m okay right now.

[criminaljustice]

Honestly? Speaking as someone who's been here since the start?

... you never really get to just be... whelmed. Often.

So definitely take advantage of the time it's not too much.

[mapsio]

I am beginning to believe that everything happens a lot here, so, I will heed your advice the best I can.

[criminaljustice]

Yeah...

... I'm not really sure how to go about bringing this thing up in the first place, either.

[a beat. and then a bit dryly because. this outfit tho.]

And I already look pretty suspicious like this, so.

[mapsio]

I would say you look less suspicious and more...silly.

[criminaljustice]

... well.

I'd rather silly than suspicious, honestly.

[mapsio]

You would be suspicious only if you were sneaking around in that kind of costume.

[criminaljustice]

[snaps fingers]

Drat, I knew I was forgetting something.

[mapsio]

It is never too late to start?

[criminaljustice]

Which means I'll have plenty of time to get around to it.

... I dunno. Up to you. Do you... want me to just say what I need to say or... hold off? Because. It's. A lot.

And it's been a while since I was a new person, so...

[how gauge?]
