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!!

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.*

Gone? You mean like, destroyed? [ WHAT IS THIS THAT IS A DISTRESSING IMPLICATION and even if she doesn't care Wally cares about everyone. :c ]

Yep! Here come the meteors, kaboom, total planetwide devastation! And then oops, a psychic death cry that kills every last one of your race in the universe except the twelve of you that managed to escape beforehand! No more trolls.

...even if things kind of sucked where we were from, it's kind of a bummer. But I try not to let it get me down.

[ Kind of a bummer Wally doesn't even know what to say to that. So. There's a drawn out silence. ]

You seem to be doing a pretty good job of it.

Thanks, I try! No sense in letting it get me down over what might have been, right?

Don't dwell in the past, mister! That's the way to go.

[ Maybe you could dwell a little.... ]

Couldn't agree more. Always looking ahead, that's me. [ It's just a little weird seeing someone else do the same thing. Uncommon. ]

Exactly! That's the way to live. Who cares about everything I would have done once I was in charge, I'm not going to beach and moan about what might have been.

Just no point in that.
