EVENT → THEY DID THE MONSTER MASH

[lessor]

EVENT ➜ COSTUME BALL

You better make sure you're macking on the right person. ➜ Part of Halloween is not only trying to scare the piss out of someone, it's also about dressing up, getting your drink on, and eating a shit load of candy and other confections that you'll regret in the morning. Since the last rounds of events have been pretty stressful, here's your chance to just relax and live it up. But honestly it wouldn't be a true event if there wasn't a chance to get something back. ➜ On the night of the 20th of October at 7 PM CST the log for the party will go up. The specifics you ask? Well, since it is a party, here's your invitation specfics: WHERE: The 4 school's main gym, just like all good parties WHEN: October 20th, 7 PM CST - October 21st 4 AM CST WHAT: Halloween Costume Ball HOW: Driving your happy hiney down there, man WHO: Everyone and their skeleton (yeah it sounds strange now, but there'll be more on that later) OTHER: Please bring food, costumes are optional, but please dress formally. ➜ Because it's held in a school, it's going to be geared for a younger crowd, but every party needs chaperones, meaning adults are welcome and will be treated with liquor and whatever else your heart desires. Decorations, food, and all that jazz are left up to the mind of the players, but it's too be assumed that there is music playing, lots of food, balloons and cobwebs, and all that good Party City junk strewn everywhere. The type of decorations, the type of music, and the type of food will be up to the players discretion. Keep in mind that the Landlord typically knows what kind of stuff you're into, so expect a plethora of cultures and styles of food/music/etc included. ➜ Costumes aren't necessary, but would make the event more festive! Catfights over wearing the same costume are welcome and encouraged. SO ABOUT THOSE SKELETONS... ➜ The 2SPOOKY part of the event is thus. The same time you get your invitation? The same time your skeleton comes to life. Don't be alarmed, though, fair residents! The skeleton won't do you any harm, and will actually just act like it lives with you. They have access to your house without keys, have a penchant for taking long baths and using all the hot water, and hiding in the food cupboard. Trying to shove them out or antagonizing them in any way will make them, for lack of a better term, come at you, however. The good news for you is that the skeletons can't leave your yard. Also, if you saw the mod plurk about the halloween decorations, you'll know that removing the skeletons will result in another one popping up, creating two skeletons. If this is the case for your house, this goes for however many skeletons you have. ➜ But what on earth does this have to do with the costume party? Because if you decide to go, this is the only time your skeleton can leave your yard and house space because guess what, it is going with you, come hell or high water. So basically, your party is going to be 2/3 residents, 1/3 skeletons knocking stuff over, eating stuff (aka putting it in their mouth and having it fall through their rib cages), and just causing a big scene. THE ZOMBIE CANDY PLOT ➜ If you've been paying attention to the OOC community (you better be or you won't see this!!), you'll know that Anthy (player of Jade Curtis and Vanille) has started up a zombie candy post. Please read this for information, but know that eating those candies will mean you'll be at the party, constantly shoving candy and cake in your face. Feel free to participate or not, as this isn't officially part of the event, but participation would be really swell! BUT WAIT, HERE'S THE BEST PART ➜ The best way to think about this dance is a Halloween Prom. The way to get your items back is pretty simple: you have to be elected Ball Royalty: BALL PRINCE: The title for the elected male in a child slot. ( PRIZE: a crown, a sceptre, a sash, a regain of their choice ) BALL PRINCESS: The title for the elected female in a child slot. ( PRIZE: a tiara, a sceptre, a sash, a regain of their choice ) BALL QUEEN: The title for the elected female in a spouse slot. ( PRIZE: a tiara, a sceptre, a sash, a regain of their choice ) BALL KING: The title for the elected male in a spouse slot. ( PRIZE: a crown, a sceptre, a sash, a regain of their choice ) COURT JESTER: This is the joke title, but still gets prizes. Nominate anyone for this. ( PRIZE: $1000 cash, a jesters hat (halloween coloured) ) BEST COUPLE: Each person in the couple will receive the prize; this can be two people who are together/are almost together, or two just random people you want to just crack ship the hell out of. ( PRIZE: $1000 cash each, sashes for each person) ➜ Nominations for the first round will take place in the threads below. You may nominate your own characters, other people's characters (with or without permission because it's Halloween, time for tricks and treats), and you can nominate the same character for two categories. FOR EXAMPLE if you'd like to nominate Karkat and Haru for Best Couple, but also nominate Haru for Court Jester and Karkat for Ball Prince, then that's perfectly okay. Only one title per person, however. ➜ From each nomination pool, there will be a randomized drawing of three names so as to keep it fair (for instance, if things were on a seconded, thirded, fourthed, etc basis, then it would be likely that casts and friend groups would have a bigger power over those with smaller in game friend bases and lone canon warriors). From those three, a poll will be put up on the night of the dance. How long the poll will run has yet to be determined, but at the end of the poll period, those in the lead will win the titles and the ability to get an item. Also, voting for yourself is okay if it's IC and voting for characters your friends play is fine if it's IC. Try to keep this to an IC popularity contest and not an OOC popularity contest. Keeping the voting IC will dispel this. Also, they don't have to vote if they don't want to. ➜ Nominations will be OOC, but voting will be ICly decided. For instance if you play Character A and you want to nominate Character B and T and G, then go right ahead. But as Character A, if you are more in character to vote for C than for T or S, then vote for C. Nominations are what the player would like, voting is what the character would like. ICly, also, a voting box will be at the door to the gym on the night of the party. ➜ Characters will not know they've been nominated until the night of the party. There will be no IC interaction with this until the day that voting will take place. ➜ Any and all questions can be addressed in the thread here. Plotting and etc can take place on the post as well. Shortly after this event, 4th wall info will be put up! After this post goes up, though, the invitation will be in the mailbox by 9 PM CST tonight! ➜ What happens in your house after the party, probably won't stay in your house after the party.

QUESTIONS THREAD

[littlechick]

Quick question on the skeleton part. You said they can't leave the characters yard but earlier you also said they'll take long baths. Which would mean they can get inside the house. Do you mean they can't leave the property? Like the skeleton of 1402 has free reign almost till they get to the next yard/sidewalk.

[abstruse]

[abstruse]

ADDITIONALLY im up for plotting, but i couldnt resist

[cancerousnubs]

YES YES YES YES YES LET'S PLOT GUYS

I've got Karkat, Romano, and Crow.

I really really want Karkat to be nominated for something SOB

[cancerousnubs]

...jsdlkfsjdfl I just realized Karkat and Haru were used as an example CUTE

[iin2ufferable]

22POOKY

wait

ANYWAY PLOT WITH... ME... Sollux needs more friends and by friends I mean people to alienate.

[cancerousnubs]

we've already pretty much plotted stuff in plurk but

lets talk here too

So

Little Mermaid costumes

Karkat is Sebastian
Sollux is Prince Eric

this means their sniping at each other will possibly be appropriate

[ironies]

Bro will simultaneously be a shitty chaperone, attempt to take over whatever DJ station there is, and also cast off votes for people into the wrong categories

possibly the correct ones if asked nicely/supplied with alcohol

[sleepwalked]

inb4 roxy hits on bro

[cawmemaybe]

wallflower corner president is this guy

[justica]

wallflower over her dead body

[beastlier]

Apollo is going to be here for the food again and somehow in a dog costume. I am going to find a way for this to happen NO ONE CAN STOP ME.

WHO WANTS TO COME WITH HIM...

Kurisu will come too, under the pretense of investigating any large event in town, but probably not in costume unless someone can convince her... however, she might bring some Grade Z home cooking. mmmm.

[tsuns]

oh my god kurisuck, don't cramp kanata's style with your shitty cooking

[shipwrecking]

i am so tempted to have Murasa go dressed up as a Ghostbuster or exorcist someone stop me. pirate or ghost is too obvious ok!!

Tsugumi, on the other hand, will prolly just go in her Deathbucks Cafe uniform because she wouldn't have any other opportunity to wear it anyways and she is uncreative ahah.

[justica]

ghostbuster omg

[burntviolet]

I HAVE YET TO DECIDE WHAT SAKURA SHOULD WEAR, but for Hanako I think it'll be a boring witch costume, unless someone helps her with that too...

she's gonna freak out when she finds out she's been signed up with Ishimaru, kekekekekeke

[timetodie]

All right.

So, Vriska is going to try and get hold of a pirate costume so she can dress up like Mindfang. I might have her try to make horns too...and get grey make-up. Because there's no way she'd insult Mindfang by humanising her. She'll be mostly okay but irritable about the skeleton, ignoring it unless it gets in her way.

Ai won't really dress up, she won't need to. And apologies to the rest of her household but she will be spending a lot of time with her skeleton. Who goes by the name Hone Onna because she can.

[timetodie]

Update: Ai is now probably going as Elmo. That is all.

[littlechick]

I think the Ib cast had an idea of what we were going to do but for the life of me I can't remember what we picked.

Hiyori is being really hard for me to decide. She can fit kids costumes so I have even more to pick from right now. Right now I'm kind of leaning towards Alice (Alice in Wonderland ala Disney cartoon version) or maybe something with wings? Like a ladybug. Not sure. @.@

Mizuki is going to be dressed Prince Charming style to Roxy's Princess Peach as a friend date kind of thing it looks like. (THAT'S WHY I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THE PRINCESS COMMENT OMG)

I'd love to know who wants to thread so I don't forget anyone. :)

[wordsidk]

Little Red Riding Hood

[itsteatime]

England is such a old man fanboy guy who'd love this type of thing and being that he's ridiculously british, he'd probably try dressing up as one of the various Doctors, from Doctor Who for this...

He needs more friends and I am all open to plotting anything for this!

[recognizeme]

lmao He's such a dork. Sea would consider it, buuuuut. He doesn't like Dr. Who.

Maybe if it was Power Rangers...

also GAME NIGHT INFO DOWN HERE

[fibs]

Celestia is being a witch (withvampirefangsbecauseIsaidsoanddecisionswerehard) on the night of the ball. Probably not doing a lot, so open to any plotting!

ALSO as I mentioned about in my cr meme thread, there is talk of a poker party going to happen. Thanks to plurk, a few options came to mind.

A. The Poker Party happens before the Ball
B. The Poker Party happens during the ball (as in Celes can bring cards with her and her and the group can take a break from dancing to steal a table and play games.)

Also it can happen after the ball, depending on the number of interest/people available. Sugguestions/comments/etc???

[publicmorals]

UM CELES

Hi Ishimaru's going to crash it. :|

[sadistfaction]

Plotty stuff, hm!

I have no idea what either of my boys will go dressed as. Sougo will definitely be going as something scary so that he can scare people because that is how he rolls. Maybe a zombie or a mummy or something that disguises him somewhat.

Hikaru will be something really cool and maaayyyybe require a partner, once he's met enough people or something. 8)!

[ex_astraphobe484]

Let's go! Ouran plotting yay!

[romanum]

rome is going but he will think the party is boring... but cute for the younger folks. he's bringing along china and whining about the lack of exotic animal and naked women. Also he doesn't really know what Halloween is and will think the skeletons are a death threat.

[chatty_swan]

Him and Denmark should talk over beeeeer

[ghostofthetiles]

Plot with meeeee, Hikaru and Momoko will totally be there! Momoko will be rocking the Charlie Brown-style sheet-with-eyeholes ghost costume (feel free to mistake her for an actual ghost; this is something that has happened to her in canon 8'D)

not sure what Hikaru's gonna be dressed as yet though

[mayoboro]

DESPITE MY FAIL AT KEEPING UP LATELY, hijikata will be in on the event! chaperoning (most likely) so you bums better get off trouble. except for the fact that he's weak to ghosts and scary things and probably be pissing his pants and chain-smoking it up. he won't be dressed up as anything but WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS FROM NOW UNTIL THEN KEKEKE.

[ironies]

bro'll nominate him for best couple

douche cop/his hand

[haught]

Raquelle is going to be a chaperone and dress up, so she is going to cause a lot of dramatics since she's... you know. Raquelle. It would also be a perfect introduction to her trying alcohol for the first time ever! Which will end in a disaster. So, if anyone would like to have interactions with her regardless if she is sober or not, I am more than open to anything.

[vanity]

we have to have matching outfits or you are unfit to call yourself a host club member :\
so let's figure that out while i type up my intro mmhmm

[sadistfaction]

Yes please!

Ideas: the Zodiac, some sort of Disney movie, the 1950s, Parisan Delights: Tour de Eiffel or something, Spanish story Don Quixote... although this is mostly a thing the Hitachiin really like because they love them some Spain, haha. Hummm! I'll comment with more stuff when I think of them!

[beyourwarmth]

okay my brain is working a little more now.

Nai: will definitely enjoy the party :> He would love to wear costumes too since it'll be like... carnival...! Um ideas for costumes (or who wants to dress up nai lol)? I would just like half/short pants for him +v+b

Alto: will go. ...he'll go but he'll be all tsuntsun and just chill out near the wall. I WOULD LOVE... FOR HIM TO WEAR SOME SORT OF COSTUME... but he won't wear it without a fight. :|a

[mayoboro]

e...everything better be cute for nai. like, everything. /)A(\ i keep picturing him under that mushroom phone skldjf

[alldestiny]

Buffy would solely chaperone but she wants to relive the prom she had to save sans having to save it, just a little bit, so she's probably going to combo it up. Claire will be going and being a brat about how pretty she is.

So uh. Usual shit.

[ex_husband711]

Haru will be going as the (extra cute) Flounder of the Homestuck Little Mermaid group if I'm not mistaken and he'll be dragging Yuki everywhere because it's in his blood.

Sweden will be hanging with the Nordics as zombie vikings or gods or whatever they're doing!! He'll be somewhat spooky but really really spooky because he's Sweden he's already 2spooky. He likes these sorts of things so even if he's not officially chaperoning he'd want to come to have a good time. :'| and so he can get Parent Trap'd thanks Sea

Plotting?!
