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!!

But I don't do any designing fur my wardrobe. [gurl you've got an entire city full of fashionable humans, cut her some slack]

[ yeah but she has to see nepeta more often than most of them. ]

You certainly seem to have your own choices you add to it beyond the lowest requirements.

[just close your eyes when she walks by, this is obviously the easier option]

I guess, but I didn't really think about it beyond the fact that it'd be cute and comfy to wear. Besides, who could pawsibly think about wasting a nice pelt like this?

Precisely! And where is it that you hang your unprocessed pelts? [ assuming she's already started accumulating them, which...well she'd rather those weren't kept in her room to begin with. she's just next door, she has to smell that. ]

I use the dresser drawers most of the time since I like to watch them while they're drying. But sometimes if I've got a bunch I guess I'll stick them in the closet - they're so teeny you can fit a ton on one hanger! [oh honey you have no idea how many little squirrel pelts she's got sitting in the corner of her room already. she'd be sorry about the smell if she even noticed it at this point]

You know, I'm actually afraid to ask. I'm not sure I really want to know what you've been hunting.

Nothing dangerous, I purromise. [she actually sounds a little put out by that fact] Purretty much anything that isn't on a leash that looks like it'd make fur a good kill I'll at least try fur.

And what do you do with them, aside from stripping away the pelts?

Eat them and sometimes paint with their blood. What else would I do with them?

[ "something sanitary" is the answer she does not give. ] Tell me you at least cook them first.

Why would I do that? [they taste just fine raw....]

I hardly think you'd want to catch some sort of Earth disease! Which isn't even to mention that I have been very diligent to provide healthy, nutritious, and above all safe meals every day! There's little need to scavenge from an unfulfilling quarry.

Your food's fine, but it's just not as satisfying eating something that you didn't catch yourself. And I'm purretty sure that I won't get sick! Efurything on Earth seems to be a lot more watered down than the stuff we're used to.

Well, you have no assurance that we won't encounter some affliction that will only have a worse affect on us due to lack of exposure to it previously.

We haven't necessarily displayed any special immunities yet.

Then wouldn't it be better fur me to keep eating them? We won't be resistant to anything if we keep avoiding it.

I'm pretty sure that probably isn't how it works. And it assumes you would survive the initial affliction, which I'd really rather we didn't test.

But what am I supposed to do if I can't eat them? I can't waste the meat. [she doesn't do wasteful hunting that's mean :C]

Just as I said, cook it first. Or let me cook it for you.

That just sounds like so much work fur silly reasons.

There's nothing silly about giving your health the care it's due.

I take care of myself just fine! I haven't gotten hurt once since coming here.

Yet. It's hardly been two weeks so far, and that isn't an accurate gauge of how things will go from here on a long term basis.

No, but it's a good start! And I'm not going to worry about things that haven't gone badly fur me yet.

And you won't even consider accounting the knowledge of one who has more experience on this planet? I'm not just idly advising you using information I've pulled from thin air!

I know that, I just don't think that it's a supurr big deal! [mooooooooooom come oooon]
