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!!

*Unfortunately, the not-currently-an-alien girl doesn't know what a cowboy is. She likes your hat, though!*

Of course it was on sale, dummy. How else would they have bought it?

[ That's because Cowboy hats are awesome. Not a good look for the city though. He takes a moment to figure out what the heck she's talking about. Super-fast body, not so much super-fast mind. ]

I mean, it costs less than it did before Halloween. Because the stores have to get rid of it all? They're already stocking up on Christmas stuff. [ Which is ridiculous, but he can't complain because he also loves Christmas. ]

Oh, okay, that makes sense! *Taking another handful of mini-Snickers GOSH these are good.*

So what's Christmas? Do you dress up fancy for that, too?

Sometimes! [ He'll never get used to this explaining things to people who don't know thing, but at least he can get excited about it. ]

People go to church, and they dress up for that. It's a big religious thing. And you get presents.

Oooh! *She kind of squeals.* So I get to wear a neato costume like this again-- *Seriously, it's like a Charlie Brown sheet-ghost*-- and I get presents?

That sounds so exciting!

Well, maybe not a costume like that. Girls wear pretty dresses to church usually. [ Though far be it from him to judge a girl's fashion choices. She should really be prepared if she intends to go the full mile. ]

You should read up on it some time, it goes back decades.

Oh, okay. That seems more up the alley of a friend of mine, actually, but it still sounds fun.

What's a church?

It's a... religious thing. A house of worship.

Oh, okay! I'm not too familiar with human religion. But I like your parties!

...I'm Feferi!

Parties are pretty great. I'm Wally. It's a pleasure to meet you, Feferi.

It sure is! It's exciting getting to see everyone and try new things and learn about the weird way you do things here on Earth! Don't you think so?

I couldn't agree more. It's a good opportunity to meet new people too.

It is! I love meeting new people; it's exciting!

So what do you do? Usually, I mean.

For work? I've got an interview with Rossum labs in the forensics department. What about you? School?

School like a fish, yep! What's a Rossum labs?

It's where I plan to work. We use science to prove the guilt or innocence of the accused in a court case. [ All sorts of science. Forensics is a little complicated to explain in specific terms. ]

We help the police, basically.

Oh, that sounds really interesting! So you want to help the police catch the bad fisheggs, right?

...wait, you can be innocent in the courtblocks here?

Edited 2012-11-09 20:32 (UTC)

Yeah, pretty much!

What, you can't ever be innocent where you're from? [ That's. Kind of alarming. ]

Um, you can sort of be found innocent but that just usually means the legislacerators get embarrassed because they have to go looking for someone else to hang, too.

...it's not a very good system.

Doesn't sound like it. Where I'm from you're innocent until proven guilty.

Oh! I like that a lot better! That's a much better idea.

It's the foundation of our country. Part of it anyway.

Well either way I like it a lot betta than what we had at home. That was just ridiculous! And way too eager to just kill people because they could.

Yeah, that sounds, uh. [ Horrible? Insane? ] Rough.

It was kind of shitty, yeah! I was going to change it when I came to power. Oh well, it's all gone now, so it doesn't really matter anymore!

*She sounds oddly cheery discussing that.*
