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. ]

Yeah? What about us who can't like, make anything? [ Exhibit A for Alex. ] What'd we do, exchange creepy dollhouses or recruitment posters from the vending machine?
destage: (SMILE ♡ Like nothing's wrong)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-06 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, come on, Alex. There's gotta be something you're able to make, isn't there? Some kind of food, maybe? Everyone here seems to like that, if nothing else.
sleepytimegal: (between the stacks in the library)

Not scrambled eggs... I kinda screwed that one up last week. [ sayaka she wasted so many good eggs, they had lives ahead of them. lives as edible food. ] Maybe I'll try reading a book on...I don't know, knitting. Is knitting hard?
destage: (CHATTER ♡ Pleasant days)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-06 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a little difficult from what I've seen, but you can honestly do anything you put your mind to, you know? [Sayaka beams a bit.] You just have to have the determination to go at it.

But...you know, if you'd ever like to learn how to cook? I'd be more than willing to teach you.
sleepytimegal: (▷ new friends‚ vampires)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-06 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Aw, I've been kind of a disaster every time I've tried, but...maybe it's timing. Uh...sure. Yeah, you know. With you helping me, it'll probably be a dang snap!
destage: (CUTE ♡ A face you can trust)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-06 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sayaka's eyes practically light up at this, and she nods her head.]

I certainly won't steer you wrong, at the very least! I'd be honored to teach you how to cook. It's something I've always done to destress, back at home...I really, really enjoy it. It just feels good to do something for yourself.
sleepytimegal: (▷ i always want you near)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-06 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She grins back, though it shifts to a bit of an amused smirk moments later. ]

How am I not surprised that you cook to unwind...? It seems like you. Like- not in the...idol girl kind of way, just, in the you kind of way.

[ ...it's cute, is what she wants to say, but. ]
destage: (BLUSH ♡ Hee hee hee...)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-06 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh gosh, that...that actually gets her cheeks to color a bit.]

The "me" kind of way, you say...? Heehee--that's rather sweet of you to say. It's just something I found I was good at since I was young.

[It makes her sound like a housewife when she says it like that.]

But, you know...I like looking at it like that. Maybe I'll just have to cook for you sometime, and show you what I'm capable of.
sleepytimegal: (clean water‚ love‚ and health)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-06 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooo, you wouldn't get any arguments from me! [ Rubs her hands together. ...And a bit more of a grin, gosh it really is cute-- ] ...You've made some things for the, uh, the gatherings, actually, haven't you?
destage: (CHEER ♡ But of course you remember!)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-06 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Curry! It's what I made for the last few things I was involved in--it's probably the best dish I can make, because it's so filling and delicious. Did you try any, by any chance?

[She kind of beams a bit? She seems happy, though.]
sleepytimegal: (when they say)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-06 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhh, that was you?! Yeah, 'course! [ During the times she...had an appetite- ] I love spicy things, I was wondering who'd been the chef to whip that up.
destage: (GIGGLE ♡ That's hilarious)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-06 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
You bet! [Sayaka practically puffs out her chest in pride, brimming with confidence.] I'm so glad you like it! Maybe when I make it again, I'll be sure to add a little extra spice--just for you.

[...She giggles a bit at that, though, just. Clearly pleased, so clearly pleased.]

Is that something you'd like to learn how to make?
sleepytimegal: (your messed-up life still thrills me)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-07 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhhhh hm! Nothing that really comes to mind... Something easy, like- I can bake okay if I'm following instructions? Those...Toll House cookies I made with my mom as a kid, but- uhh... Maybe something super sweet? Sweet or spicy, I like those.
destage: (CUTE ♡ A marketable trait)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-07 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, either one works for me. Just as long as you're happy with it, and I can teach you something you'll like.

So if it's something super sweet you want, it's something super sweet you'll get!
sleepytimegal: (we came‚ they went‚ our bodies spent)

[personal profile] sleepytimegal 2017-10-07 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Then, lemme think on it and I'll come back to you with an awesome recipe to learn!
destage: (SMILE ♡ Like nothing's wrong)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-07 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Alright! I look forward to what you'll come up with.
