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!!

[ that explanation should totally be in joint network post form, if only to educate as many people as possible! with handy shipping walls for reference. one day, nepeta. one day.

in any case, he remembers seeing that name on some of the posts he caught up on after getting back from venezuela... ]

You're pretty new to the City, right?

[as soon as she realizes that lots of people are in need of education, oh god yes it will happen. and it will be glorious.]

Yeah, I guess you could say that! Some of my furiends said I've been here befure but I don't remember it at all.

[ ~~I VOLUNTEER BRADBURY AS TRIBUTE~~ yes. yes it will. ]

The Porter's a little weird like that. Sometimes people come back with their memories - or not. You're the first of you I've met, though. [ that sentence sounds a little... funny in retrospect, but whoops. ]

And you're purrobably the only you I'll efur meet! [it makes her laugh, because god damn universe shenanigans are difficult to understand] I'm not too upset about it, though - I like meeting as many humans as I pawsibly can.

Yeah? [ he smiles a little at that. she seems like a pretty cute kid. ] Well, there are plenty of humans around here, so I guess that's not gonna be a problem.

No, and it's supurr great! Efuryone here is so diffurent, I'm having lots of fun just watching people come and go. [she pauses thoughtfully]

Even if most of the city is hideous and icky.

[ he raises a brow. not that he'd say the city is a pretty place on a good day, but... ]

What makes you say that?

There's not enough grass and stuff like that. [she pulls a face] And efurything that you can hunt you need about five of fur a good meal!

Well, I'd say most people in the City are too busy to hunt their own food. That's what take-out is for. Nothing's really stopping you from traveling outside, if that's the kind of thing you're looking for, but most imPorts like sticking to the place.

[ cue shrugging in a "BEATS ME" kinda way... ]

It's more fun to get food fur yourself, though, purrticularly when you get cute pelts out of it too. [SOMEDAY SHE WILL HAVE ENOUGH SQUIRREL FUR TO DO SOMETHING. SOMEDAY.]

I'm not really sure I want to go outside the city, though; my furiends didn't exactly have much fun during their vacation when I showed up.

[ oh, venezuela. he was doing so well not thinking about that too. ]

Yeah, turns out that vacation wasn't much of a vacation at all. You're lucky you missed it.

I guess. [she rubs her foot against the other one a little pensively. she didn't feel very lucky being helpless in the City] Karkat says that kind of thing happens purretty furquently anyway, so I'll purrobably have to deal with something like that eventually.
