Dive In

So, anyone in the entertainment room area come December 2nd will be subjected to a ridiculous clash of colors and decorations. While the only advertisement was word-of-mouth, it's a six-way birthday party although none of the guests of honor seem to care if people actually celebrate their birthdays; it's possible to just come by for cake and/or random hangouts. The room seems to be divvied up into six pie slices with decorations, with a table in the middle with six cakes. The slices are kind of variable but easy enough to match up to their respective "owner": Jade's is neon green paired with white decoration-wise and seems to mostly be dog themed, although there's also more glitter in her slice than anywhere else; Jake's is less neon green paired with black and the collective Dave-and-Rose decoration committee apparently decided skulls was as good a theme as anything; Dave's is red and black and records although also just really dumb sbahj drawings which tbh have infected the other slices aside from Rose's; Dirk's is orange-and-white and robots; Rose's is purple-and-black and wizards and octopi; Roxy's is pink-and-white and cats and wizards. None of the decorations really seem intended to mesh with any other slices' decorations at all?

The cakes are equally mismatched, although some of them work together. Jade got a Bec-head shaped cake; Jake got another...skull...THEY TRIED, OKAY JAKE; Dave elected himself for hella jeff; Dirk got assigned sweet bro because Rose couldn't convince Dave to Not; Rose herself got a very disturbing octopus tentacle thing, what the fuck Rose; and Roxy got a cat.

There are like six pinatas in various colors and some party games and a movie marathon that seems to have literally no theme beyond being chosen by Dave and Rose and therefore the theme might actually be "what movie will annoy my sibling most" back and forth. So there's. Just a super variety of stuff there. And there's music which Dave seems to have been in control of, although most of it is lowkey so that's nice???

Sorry if you wanted to do something in this room related to not this hot mess today, BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE NOT DOING SIX SEPARATE PARTIES??? Also there are party hats in the colors of each slice (with a dumb paper crown in slice colors for each birthday kid) so pick your poison. There's a generic and very messy "HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY" banner so apparently it's just. 6 17s? Nice.

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.
