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!]]

Yuna 🌹 Open

[Yuna is excited for the party. She's usually at these sorts of get together's early to help set up but this time she's a little late. Her costume is harder to get into when she doesn't have her sphere grid to help.

Yuna spends some time singing, then other times inspecting costumes and watching her friends mingle and enjoy themselves. She even brought a deck of cards to go with her costume and she's not opposed to playing a hand with anyone.

She has a glass of wine next to her while a smile plays across her lips. It's nice to see everyone relaxing and enjoying themselves after everything that's happened. It's hard to completely banish the sadness from her gaze but she's trying.

When she see's someone she knows she smiles and waves beckoning them over.]

Terra Branford ❦ OPEN

[Terra arrives with a white kitten in her arms and a gentle smile on her lips. She's wearing a kitten costume though while her kitten is white, her outfit is black. She has little ears on her head and a tail hanging from her waist.

She hopes this is okay but Tempest as assure her it is. She finds a place to sit and then begins to play with the kitten in her arms.]


No, flower.

[Each time the kitten tries to climb away she's forced to bring it back to her lap.]

Zelda ϟ Open

[personal profile] goddessofthesky 2015-11-11 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Zelda is there early setting up food and drinks for everyone as well as rearranging the furniture. She has tables placed around the main entrance with chairs lining the walls and a stage against the left side of the room. She's been wearing her costume for most of the day since it's easier to get things ready as a deer and then wait for others to arrive.

There is a wide smile on her lips with golden strains of hair falling unbound down her back. She looks over at people as they arrive and welcome them to the party. She's managed to get a few decorations together and since it is after the season they weren't to expensive; she made most of them by hand.

There are a few spiders on the walls and black streamers around the room. She even got the punch to be a bright red color to complete the effect. She has her harp but she doesn't play letting those who want to take the stage play first.]

Rukia Kuchiki | OPEN OF COURSE!

[personal profile] damn_juicebox 2015-11-11 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[This costume is ridiculously hot. And not in the sexy way. She's smeared her mouth with fake blood for extra effect, just to reinforce the fact that yes, this costume is meant to be scary, and not in the slightest bit cute. She pulls the hood off of her head with a sigh of relief, using her 'paw' to dab away the sweat from her brow and neck.]

[At least it'll keep her warm on the way home. It can also serve for pajamas to ensure a peaceful, cozy sleep.]

[But it won't. It's going in the fire after this because she still hates hamsters.]

[Rukia pours herself a glass of untainted punch, munches on snacks, and eventually finds herself standing in front of the bob-for-apples barrel. There are people gathered around, and she can't quite see what's happening, so she turns to the person closest to her.]


What kind of game is this?

[Of course, she could ask the same thing regarding the pinata. And she will. Or she might ask you about your costume if she isn't sure what it is or why it's supposed to be scary. Basically just expect her to come up and bother you about something, because she will.]

[All thing's considered, Anise is pretty excited for the party. The whole "giant marshmallow moogle" thing had been kind of a bummer, but no girl could turn down a good party! She comes to the party wearing a pretty fitting costume, and with plenty of energy to spare!]

[She'll be mingling about throughout the night. The first part of the evening she'll spend around the snack and drink table, sampling the various dishes and treats. She's probably hovering around the "special punch" more than she should be, but anyone nearby is welcome to intervene. Please do not let this girl have any.]

[After she's done with (or has been shooed away from) the food table, she'll stand by the party games. They were all pretty standard fare, but she's pretty happy to challenge anyone at anything. Pin the face on the pumpkin, bobbing for apples, it was all fair game. And if the people she was playing with wanted to make it more interesting? Well, who was she to complain.]

[Finally, she'll be circling around the party, looking for anybody she knows, before joining in on the costume contest.]

The Barkeep | Open

[personal profile] forcegalactic 2015-11-11 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[The Barkeep has been looking to forward to this party all week. He spent all of the night of the Marshmallow Moogle indoors, where it was warm and safe and free of crystal zombies. This also gave him the time to work on preparing his costume.

He arrives at the party with a small crate of drinks. He wears a ruffled shirt with the nicest pair of pants he owns, and a flowing, red cape with a white trip flows behind him. The sewing took the longest time to make, but what he is most proud of is the crown, the golden rim made from thick paper and the red plush bit knitted from yarn. He also carries a scepter constructed from a stick and an old coffee can painted gold. If someone gets close enough, they can still smell the old coffee coming off form it.

As the Barkeep, he has the duty of overseeing the bar. Anyone who need a drink or a conversation is free to walk up to the table he set up at the side of the room.

A. General mingle

[Ven really wasn't sure what to do for a costume party -- so, as usual, he asked Rae's opinion, and she was anal kind enough to give him a rather thorough explanation of different costume possibilities, including traditional choices and her own personal opinion on what might be good inspiration. He quickly decided something scary sounded most appropriate. Ghost? Nah, that seemed kind of disrespectful after the previous month. Reaper? Heck no.

Eventually, he put his creativity and craftiness to the test with something simple but effective. The straw stuffing is itchy and the burlap isn't the easiest thing to breathe through, so shortly after arriving he opts for carrying the mask over his shoulder instead. As for the straw, well, he'll deal for an evening. He can be found all over the place, sometimes eating, sometimes playing a game; if he notices you, chances are very good he'll come up and say hi.]



B. hahaha I have no shame hahaha

[KARAOKE THO.

Okay, the fantasy, less-technologically-advanced equivalent of it, rather, but a stage is close enough, right? Ven has no instruments, nor can he play any, so anybody's free to generously supply him with some music -- otherwise he has no problem with using only his voice, and use his voice he does.

And yeah, he's getting into those movements as he goes. #YOLO, etc.]

Scrooge McDuck || Open

[personal profile] mcduck 2015-11-11 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
A/ General Mingle
[ Scrooge wasn't wearing a costume. He didn't really come here for the costume party after all, nor did he care for it. He was here just because of the free food that goes with the word "party." That and anything he could get his hands on. Business was going well and he was on his way to open a worldwide bank network, but the Heroes of Light were special. Making more connections with his fellow world travelers couldn't hurt.

Hence the richest duck in all of Crystallis (of course, as he is the only sentient duck he's automatically the richest one) could be found taking the best food and eating it. He had no disguise, but people are welcome to assume he's a human disguised as a duck. ]


B/ Moogle Argument

[ After a while, a Moogle came into the observatory and headed straight for the duck, holding a stack of spam papers meant to advertise the brand new McDuck Bank™. Scrooge took the paper on the top and read it with a bright smile. ]

Ah perfect, thank you Quackly! We'll send them next week to everyone in the city.

[ Scrooge kept reading the ad for a while before taking back his glass, but then looked back at the Moogle who was still flying before him. ]

Why, you can go now.

Mr. McDuck, about my salary, Kupo...

[ A frown, a cough and Scrooge pretended not hearing anything, burying himself behind the paper. ]

Mr. McDuck!

[ Begrudgingly, Scrooge put down the paper and reached for his pocket. ]

Fine, fine.

[ And with that said, Scrooge hands over... 12 Gil to the Moogle. That's 2 Gil per hour. The Moogle looks satisfied at least. Maybe. Scrooge on his end, looked as if his day had been ruined. ]

[Levy has come to the costume wearing a sexy moogle costume, complete with pom-pom headband, little red wings on her back, fuzzy white slippers and gloves, and a midriff-bearing fluffy white outfit.

And despite her usual professional demeanor, it looks like Levy really knows how to party once there's reason to. She's a lightweight for sure, and it doesn't take much, but at least she's a happy drunk!]


Heeeeeeey! This is a great party, don't you think?

[Chiaki has gone all out for the party, walking in wearing some sort of blue bug alien costume. It's hard to tell it's even her until she takes the elaborate mask off to get some air. She seems pretty satisfied with the outfit, even though it's extremely unlikely anyone will recognize what it's from.]

Whew... it took a while to make, but it was worth it.

Sparks Nevada | open

[personal profile] red_planet_blues 2015-11-12 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Sparks isn't one to pass up a party, even if the Heroes did seem to have a lot of them. After last month, they were owed it.

He actually had time and money to spend on his costume, and even though he knew no one was going to know what he was - well, one person would - Sparks made the costume he really wanted. He's wearing a crisp black uniform with gold buttons, his laser pistols as his side. Around his wrist is cardboard mock-up version of what would be a wearable computer system. He's an otherwise perfect duplicate of a Troubleshooter from his own universe, righting the software wrongs on Mars. And anywhere else that needed it.

To Sparks, Troubleshooters were just the coolest.

Despite October being exhausting, especially dealing with the crystal statues coming to life, he was in a pretty good mood. Time to have some drinks and be sociable for the first time in a long time.]


Reckon this party was a good idea. Didn't want another Halloween to be as miserable as the last one.

Cloud | Open

[personal profile] neverfirstclass 2015-11-13 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe Cloud should have known better than to talk to the old man at the farm about the costume party. He was a little surprised when the grumpy codger gave him the time off, but that was when the costume was handed to him in a bundled sack. He thought that the ranch owner might know something about a good Chocobo costume, a silly idea, maybe a tailor in town who could help. It turned out there was one in storage that only mildly stank of Chocobo musk.

To his credit, the mask wasn't that bad. He was comfortable inside and he could breathe well. The fabric and feathers also were much more comfortable than most full body costumes. This outfit was clearly well made.

But standing in this party and looking around, Cloud can't help but feel a little silly

[Graham had forgotten about the party until the second letter went out. He wanted to go, but totally neglected getting a costume. So, with not much in the way of ideas, and the city pretty much having moved on from selling costumes, he had to improvise. Which is why he just snatched a bunch of rolls of bandages from somewhere and manages to mostly wrap himself up in them. Boom, instant mummy! It's not ideal, but it'll do.]

Heroes sure do love their parties. A problem arises, they knock it down, celebrate, and the process repeats itself! What a sad story. Things must get monotonous for everyone!

[There's something every party needs, and that's a lady of the high seas. Although that's a little more dignified than most'd tell you to call them. Still, K'pandolu's doing her best to mimic a certain stride when she moves.]

Now, this is what we needed, and no mistake! Festivities for one and all.

[she moves between gatherings as the night goes on, playing some of the games set up, taking a few drinks- and there are surely some shanties tucked away in the back of her memory. The later it gets, the more likely it is she'll pull one out- or perhaps even some dancing.]
