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. ]

Hehe! Thanks! It took me a while to cut it right. It's got a kinda ghost maiden waitin' for her love at the lake she died at vibe, right? ...but what do you mean of course I'd go with snorey?
[LOOK? She can totally act. That means giving character to her outfits. And there's no need to call her out on her cowardice...]
Woah...that's a scary story to tell a kid! But it's the kinda story I like! Because it was a little scary, but nothing bad happened! If it were really scary, I'd probably start cryin'!
no subject
Well, you asked for a snorey one, so you got a super clean, booooooooring one. If you asked for lorey, I would've told you something super urban legendy! And gory... is sorta self-explanatory, right?
no subject
[She's easily impressed.]
no subject
[ yeah you just... go for the throat there, Aligula, sure, let's just talk shop about secrets— ]
Wanna hear about the Legless Horseman?
no subject
Hey. [Her voice is uncharacteristically grumpier.] If you didn't want to talk to me, all you had to do was say so.
no subject
It's not that! I'm the hostess, so I should talk to anyone I can anyway. [ A little wave. ] I'm just stating a fact, Vivacious.
no subject
[How's that for not holding back?]
no subject
You're the only one who has a problem with me talking like this, you know. [ ...Well, no, there's probably plenty of people who do, but they don't bring it up to her face; she's gonna spread her palms here. ] But like, waaay more importantly, that was a good comeback!
[ Even if she was 100% not insulted by it. ]
It's good to have fire in you when you're young, you know~? Ooh, and it's even better if you don't lose it! Being young at heart's the most important thing when it comes to being a lady. It's how you keep your cute looks, after all.
no subject
The most important thing about bein' a lady is pretty much the opposite of everythin' you're doing. I don't care if you think my secret's funny. I know it's not as serious as everyone else's here. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna sit here and listen to ya make jokes about it!
[And she is excusing herself (or attempting to!) from this conversation.]
If I'm the only one with a problem, then go tell your stories to someone else.
