better late than never

Who: Everyone!
What: A week late Halloween celebration.
Where: The Observatory
When: Friday, Nov. 6, 7:00 PM
Warnings: The Heroes and a party. What could possibly go wrong?

On November 5, another letter from Johnny would go out to everyone reminding them of the costume party, and invite all the newbies along as well. Costumes are a necessity for entrance, except for the newbies, since they've only been here a little over 24 hours now.

The Observatory is in its usual party set up, but this time with an added stage area for any musicians who would like to perform. It's also the spot set up for the costume contest later on. The whole place is covered in festive Night of the 13 Moogles decorations, and as always, there's plenty of food and drinks.

[[This is just a general mingle log, and a good way for the new Heroes to meet everyone, so post whatever and have fun!]]

[He jumps back now, arms outstretched in your typical mummy fashion.]

Yes! The ancient Egyptians built giant monuments to their royalty to house all their worldly goods! And they took the bodies of their deceased leaders and emptied them all out, wrapped them all up in bandages from head to toe, and buried them deep underground in their pyramids! So that, thousands of years later, explorers could dig up their ancient crypts and still find the bodies there, preserved in the dry desert heat!

[And now he leans in again, looking menacing.]

But the tombs were cursed so that any raiders would be punished by the unliving animated corpse of King Tut, who wants revenge for all this stolen possessions. There's nothing that can stop him!

[That's not quite right. That's not even how the movie goes.]

[Zelda looks up at him a little confused by his explanation.]

That sounds... interesting.

[She doesn't really understand and it sounds a little gross.]

Why do that to someone and the why dig it up? Is there something else there?

[bright_and_blue]

Treasures! Pharaohs were buried with so many expensive worldly goods, it would be a shame to just leave it locked up forever. But that's too bad for everyone else, right? Their his things and he's free to keep them locked out. But he's also dead, so he can't stop someone from taking them for themselves thousands of years later, either. Except that King Tut's tomb is cursed, and those who try to enter succumb to mysterious deaths soon after!

[He stands proudly now, his bandages shifting around and falling off in places.]

So you see, my costume is more than appropriate.

[goddessofthesky]

It sounds like a wonderfully scary story.

[She doesn't think she wants those treasures.]

If you're king Tut then you'll curse me if I steal something?

[She's teasing him lightly even though she know's he'll probably explode in a flurry of words from the simple remark.]
