WHO: ERIDAN AMPORA and ZATANNA ZATARA and THEIR VERY UNFORTUNATE GUESTS.
WHERE: a creepy rose red house on the edge of the city.
WHEN: 11/5.
WARNINGS: fakemurder. gore. trauma. misery. mystery!!!
SUMMARY: since eridan spent the entirety of halloween wweepin and eating stale sugar cookies in his basement leah, he and zee throw a belated halloween party!! BAD THINGS HAPPEN.
FORMAT: ANYTHING GOES.

[the house - it's more of a miniature mansion, really, and incredibly creepy - is just far enough from the city's limits to be quiet. sprawling, dark, and eerie; it's kind of like a cross between rose red and dracula's summer home, which is at least half of the reason why it was chosen. maybe two-thirds.

inside the decorations are done up in lush reds and the occasional streaks of violet; the kitchen is full of food and refreshments, the main hall is decked out, the music is pumping, and the hosts will no doubt be more than happy to tell everyone all about how they heard a rumor from a friend of a cousin of the realtor that like a quintuple murder totally happened in the attic or something (or one of them will, at least). rooms beyond the immediate party area (a host of ground level rooms and anything upstairs, basically) haven't exactly been blocked off, but they're also visibly not as touched up and may or may not be haunted.

well, there's a definite risk. the place is creepy as hell.

doors open at eight-thirty (just to spite vriska). get in there!!

[ why is she at your party eridan? we just don't know. she doesn't know. she is looking very intently at his costume and narrowing her eyes. ]

You really must be fucking kidding me.

[ she folds her arms and tilts her head, giving him the most miserable scowl she can manage. ]

Of all the potential costuming options you could have selected, you chose that one? Do you even know what all it entails? What it's like to be a vampire?

You don't have the beginning of a clue.

I DO!

Because unlike you, [ she jabs a finger at his chest. ] this isn't fake to me! I actually have to live with it every day, and you don't understand what any of that means, what difficulties are involved, or how it will utterly ruin your unlife by insistently continuing it!

And you choose that of all things to make a mockery of with your ugly outfit woven from the very threads of tackiness itself!

[(because she wants to, shut up.)

it takes a while after her late arrival to actually track him down, but once ruka finally does spot eridan, it's her doing the not-actually-dramatic swooping in beside this time.

Hello there, stranger.

[MUTUALLY JUMPY ABOUT BEING SNUCK UP ON you'd think they'd stop doing it to one another but no, they only change approach angles. but his smile earns one of hers in return.]

Don't presume too much. I just didn't have anything else planned tonight, that's all. [ALL TEASE, ALL THE TIME. because not even eridan is obtuse enough to take that at face value when she was three time zones away that morning. right?

Then, a little quieter:
] Your fang's dislodged.

You'd think. [she shrugs a shoulder, but then is looking over it, her attention flicking from eridan to the party around them. the uneasy sensation of being stared at from an unknown source is making the hair stand on the back of her neck, but she catches no one in the act.

it's fine; eridan catches her attention back easily enough.]
I haven't missed anything exciting recently, have I?

[ It would be totally rude not to greet the gracious hosts of the party, and Wally is so grateful that he didn't miss all of Halloween that he has to thank them personally. He flags down Eridan from a short distance away with a wave. ]

Hey! Awesome party.
centralsgreatest: (table for one)

[personal profile] centralsgreatest 2012-11-06 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wally laughs. He always appreciate a good joke, which is what he assumes Eridan is going for. ]

It really paid off. I'm glad you decided to have the party a little late. I just got back here a few days ago, I would have hated to miss all the Halloween fun.
muskettear: to stop fighting (and the breath)

[ mami has no idea how to halloween, so she's basically come transformed. IT COUNTS AS A COSTUME DOESN'T IT..

she's even toting one of her ornate rifles as a costume 'prop', and she wanders over to Eridan happily enough.
]

Ah, that's a nice costume, Ampora-san. Is purple your favourite colour?
crab: (like batman arkham asylum)

[ karkat has spent half the night determinedly and unsubtlely avoiding eridan, whirling around to walk in the opposite direction whenever he comes into view, ducking behind people and tables and nearly upending the punch bowl in his efforts to get out of an encounter with him.

but as (bad) luck would have it, not even karkat can be on his guard one hundred percent of the time, and, distracted by yelling verbal abuse at some poor sap who's probably halfway across the room, he doesn't spot eridan in the thick of the crowd until he runs headlong into him.

Move it, you-- shit!
