boys and girls of ev'ry age~

[ With all the hubbub Aligula's been up for few weeks now and especially today, it should really, really not be a surprise that closing in around the evening, flyers start appearing pretty much everywhere, in true Aligula tradition.



There's an extra notice slipped under everyone's doors as well: i made costumes and you're not allowed to tell a ghost story unless you wear one!!!! they'll be in the bar with everything else so don't worry it's all taken care of~~~~ ♥

...yeah.

8pm sees the bar decorated with a lot of toilet paper—mummies were here, obviously—as well as cut-outs of cats, bats, ghosts, owls, and a few freaky looking things that are probably native to Aligula's world. Additionally, the bar counter is laden with dozens of treats, ranging from slightly overdone cookies (sugar, chocolate chip, double chocolate chip, snickerdoodle) roughly shaped like popular Halloween motifs like bats, ghosts, and something attempting to be a pumpkin; thumbprint cookies with some sort of raspberry jelly on them that's a little too sweet, thick, and sticky; to somewhat lopsided chocolate and vanilla cakes, topped with whipped cream frosting and mixed berries. There's hot chocolate and water for people who prefer not to take any of the alcohol that's naturally in the bar, and...

True to her notice, there are costumes laid across several tables and chairs that have been pushed together: bedsheets with fancy embroidery around the hem for some expensive-looking bedsheet ghosts, witch costumes, robes for every monster occasion, cat-ear headbands + tail combination and a marker for whiskers, the same except dog-themed, black capes with red insides for vampires...

If you told her a preference and let her measure you, your costume set aside with a piece of paper with your name attached to it! If not, well. Bedsheet ghosts and capes are one size fit all, though she attempted to eyeball (ha) most everyone, so maybe one of these other ones fit you? Or maybe you don't care and you're not going to tell a ghost story anyway, so whatever.

The ghost stories, by the way, have their own little throne—there's one table pulled away from the others that's covered with a blanket and has a pillow and a few of those cute Cerberus plushes that come out of the machine with it. Take a seat and share something spooky—tis the season in this room, after all. ]

Halloween isn't a holiday we celebrate. We know about it, but it's not common for kids to go around asking for candy.
sleepytimegal: (stay away from me)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-06 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, ouch. Poor them, no free candy?

[personal profile] chessturner 2017-10-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
No, no free candy.

[Kyrie shrugs]

But that may change in the future. One of my nieces wants to do the old trick-or-treat routine, maybe in the future more Japanese children will want to celebrate Halloween.
sleepytimegal: (▷ if you're wanting something else)

I hope so... It's actually really fun? Like, I'm a bit too old for it, but I had fun when I was a kid.

It didn't stop you today. You could try it again once you're back home, for old times' sake.

[You know, to celebrate you didn't die horribly, not to ask candy around because you do are a bit too old for that]
sleepytimegal: the first‚ the last‚ they'll never know (i never wanna be alone)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-06 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... [ A wistful smile spreads across her face. ] Yeah. That might sound nice.

[personal profile] chessturner 2017-10-06 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Surely there are people who'd be willing to do that with you. Friends, for example.
sleepytimegal: (i see it now‚ what you left behind)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-06 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well- yeah, it's just more like, you know...other factors? Ehh, I don't wanna get into it tonight, it'll just bring me down.
chessturner: 30 (30)

[personal profile] chessturner 2017-10-10 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I'm sorry for bringing that up.

[Yeah, this is a night to be lighthearted, looks like that's not going to be a good topic of conversation]

Tell me something that won't bring you down.
sleepytimegal: i don't want you to leave (i don't want you to go)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-10 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... What about... Have you tried any of Aligula's sweets? What are your favorites?
chessturner: 32 (32)

[personal profile] chessturner 2017-10-10 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
The parfaits. They're sweeter than what I usually eat, but they're rather good. That woman knows how to make some good sweets, I find it admirable.

[Too bad she's, you know, the Queen of Monomania instead of a confectioner or something like that]
sleepytimegal: (i want to find something new)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-10 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Maybe she can get two jobs? She would make a killing. ...Metaphorically. ]

Aren't they just fantastic? I've...gotta ask for tips. Sayaka's gonna teach me how to do...like, anything in the kitchen, you know? But Aligula could be a pretty cool teacher too...in this.
chessturner: (6)

[personal profile] chessturner 2017-10-10 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think she'd have the patience to teach you stuff? It's worth a try, but...

[Aligula, that is]
sleepytimegal: (and if i'm on the floor)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-10 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...considers. ]

Uhhh, yeah, you know, now that I think about it? That might be a lost cause.

You'd have better chances of getting her to give you pointers if you say you'll show her how to do it. You know, doing it wrong so she corrects you.
sleepytimegal: (what's that mean?)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-10 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...That's really good advice? [ Like really good- ] Wow, Kyrie, you sure know how to read people, huh?

[personal profile] chessturner 2017-10-11 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it's a good skill to have. I'm proud of this skill.
