HALLOWEEEN MINGLE

[parodeity]

So it's the 31st of october (yes, this is future-dated) and guess what this is an all day Halloween extravaganza. The base is decked out to the best of everyone's abilities, which means. Lots of cobwebs? Lots of tacky skulls and shit because Ed Elric sure was asked to just alchemize whatever and his taste is Questionable? Disco ball bats flying around? Some skeleton robots everywhere, who may or may not be dancing? Yeah. There's also a shit ton of pumpkins, carved and uncarved. And so many snacks. All the snacks. As to what's going on that you might notice, the day's itinerary is as follows:

Morning Activities: If you haven't made a Halloween bucket/basket/bag/whatever, you can either get a premade one from Chihiro, or you can join in a crew of like-minded people in the cafeteria where there's just. A shit ton of art supplies and bags/buckets to be decorated. How many googly eyes can you fit on one bucket? Find out. Or don't. Once you get a carrying thing you will also get a candy stash supply! Everyone gets all 1 type of candy, so they have to go exchange it with other people to get All The Varieties. Because that's the weird exchange/trick-or-treat compromise Dave and Chihiro hit upon, so. You can obviously keep exchanging candies all day long for however long you want. Or you can horde your candy type and get frowned at, idk, the choice is yours alone?? There are also pumpkin-flavored pancakes shaped like pumpkins for breakfast should anyone want any of those?

Afternoon activities: Pumpkin carving, Halloween Bingo, and all the races (Mummy, Maze, and Candy) will all take place sometime in the afternoon; the scavenger hunt lists will also be distributed around lunchtime to anyone who wants to join in. The lists are mostly things Dave would find funny, although he went Easy on any kids who entered because he's a biased guy.

Evening activities: Test of courage (a walk down a HAUNTED!!! hallway with scary skeleton robots jumping out of you and all the peeled grape touching promised), apple bobbing because Dave though that was a good party activity???, scary story telling, and the how many candies are in this here jar game. This is also the Dance portion of the evening. It's. A ton of line dances which Dave has been offering lessons on throughout the day/week/whatever, or which the linedancing skeletons would be happy to teach you. There's also some couple-y dances but mostly it's all group dances that the kids can join in on and also with the cheesiest music possible. The monster mash plays like 15 times. There are lots of snacks here too, all Halloween themed.

Whenever activities: There should also be a horror game livestream happening with Dva, at some point. Also I believe Percy Jackson made a Halloween funhouse so have fun I guess! If I missed something just lmk on plurk or in pm to this journal.

Any and all victories for the contests will be accompanied with much fanfare and ridiculousness, but the costume contest takes the case because Dave will make you get up on stage and put on a 3d printed pumpkin hat and announce Kanaya Maryam as the Halloween Overlord. This title does not see to do much other than allow you to have a linedancing skeleton entourage, but whatever. Ava and Eve are pulled on stage at separate times as they are spotted and both given 3d printed pumpkin...tiaras? They are named Joint Halloween Princesses as they won second and third place together. This title also does not seem to do a lot but whatever.

Go nuts, kids.

evening

[sniptuck]

[ hajime had just been line dancing with some skeletons and is walking off the dance floor to get a drink when she spots dia. there's a moment where she just stares at the other girl (if dia notices the staring she might get weirded out??? like hajime is legit just staring and doing nothing else), but then suddenly, she races across the room to reach her.

and then hajime tackles dia into a hug. introducing herself first is probably the polite thing to do, but no, it's an introductory hug i guess. ]

You! Are so pretty!

[unidolize]

[ She does. Notice. The staring. It is definitely weirding her out. Does she have something on her face? Idk she's sweating nervously and pulls out her phone to try to look for her reflection. Maybe her makeup isn't on point or something, who knows--

suddenly, she's stumbling backwards, phone nearly flying out of her hand from the sheer force of that hug?? Is that what this is about?? omg ]

T-Thank you--?! Erm, this--this is--

[ mentally flailing around what do ]

[sniptuck]

[ hajime, at least, eventually leans away from dia. she is... still holding onto her though, but at least she is no longer crushing her in a hug? that's gotta be progress. ]

Can we take a picture together?

[unidolize]

[ It is, except Dia's suddenly super excited at the prospect of getting her picture taken with someone! Last time she offered to take one with someone, they totally didn't know who she was despite being an idol?? So this makes her extremely happy, and her face instantly lights up. ]

I'd be glad to!

[sniptuck]

[ to be fair, hajime also does not know who she is or that she is an idol. she just... thinks dia is super cute...

she will move around so that they are more comfortably next to each other for a picture, holding her communicator out in front of them for the selfie. ]

Yay! Say cheese.

[unidolize]

[ Dia's happy, visibly so, and she puts on her best smile for Hajime! Even if Hajime doesn't know she's an idol, Dia's still grateful for her kindness and poses nicely for the selfie. ]

Cheese!

[sniptuck]

[ the picture is taken! hajime immediately shows it to dia to get her approval? gotta make sure she likes it before posting it to instaclam. ]

Ahhh this is so cute, I love it!
