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. ]

Eheh, you're right! It's just a sheet, but it's a lot more fun and spooky when you really play the role!
[ said like orihime was actually being spooky... ]
Is Halloween your favorite time of the year?
no subject
[Workaholicism, it messes with your holidays a lot.]
no subject
[ even if...she'd have rather celebrated it somewhere nicer. ]
no subject
[If only the place weren't such a trashfire!!]
no subject
[ it's nice to see even the adults are participating. ]
Hm hm~! Do you have any ghost stories for the occasion?
no subject
[Hmm. She goes contemplative...]

[Sayaka's voice takes on an almost frightening sort of tone--the kind you definitely use to tell scary stories.]
So...there's always been legends of youkai, throughout history. Most of them, you'll find stories from the Edo period...but there is one, who has managed to stay quite popular to this day.
Imagine, if you will, that you're walking home from school--all by your lonesome, when a woman with a surgical mask walks up to you. She'll ask you this...
"Am I pretty?"
How do you answer?
no subject
Yes! I think she's pretty!
[ a very orihime-like answer, tbh. ]
no subject
Now...imagine that she seems happy for a moment. And then she pulls down her mask...showing her face cut from ear to ear, like a sickening grin. [She makes a gesture like a glasgow smile, grinning all the while.] And then she asks you; "Do you still think I'm pretty?"
no subject
[ WHY DOES ORIHIME SOUND SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS... ]
Go on...
no subject
[Sayaka pauses a bit for dramatic effect, before grinning brightly.]
She takes out a pair of scissors, and cuts your face up to resemble hers!
no subject
[ wow!! ]
What would've happened if I said no, Maizono-san?
no subject
[Sayaka beams a bit, though, that scary tone gone from her words.]
