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. ]

[It's probably not important, though. Though, what is is something that she notices when she peers at the screen a bit like the nosy brat she is--he's got it viewed at the party?
...Here she thought he was just gonna take pictures of his own costume. That gets a bit of a small smile.]
...So you're trying to get some good memories of this party, then?
no subject
When the question about what he's doing with the camera comes up, he shrugs once more.]
The isn't exactly how I'd phrase it, but something like that. It serves as a way to prove that this actually happened.
[...which, admittedly, would look weird to outsiders if it ever does reach the outside world. "You were stuck in a murder school and you...had costume parties?"]
no subject
...That answer is definitely an interesting thing, though. Sayaka doesn't necessarily smirk or anything, but her expression seems a bit amused.]
I guess I was just expecting some more posing for pictures with your 'Doc the Ripper' get-up. [She's not judging or anything, though.] That's not a bad idea, though, to have the physical evidence. Though I question what anyone else would think if they saw those without context...
[context: crazy cyclops girl had a habit of throwing parties and we all just went "seems legit"]
no subject
[The quickest correction ever. Selfies were top priority.]
I assume they would think we've lost our minds. Which...probably isn't wrong, considering we've allowed normalcy into our lives here. This is anything but normal.
no subject
At this point, we definitely have. Though it definitely implies that some people had their minds to begin with, you know.
[Look at some of these people and try to imply that. She'll wait.]
no subject
Fair enough. But it's not like they would know that at a glance. [...] All right, perhaps at Aligula. But in general.
no subject
[Seriously, have you seen that guy, he is loud.]
But everyone else can at least look the part!
no subject
[How did he forget Terumi.]
All that said, if you want a photo of something specific, I have enough space for now. [He waves the phone a bit.] But I do have to use this sparingly. I have no idea when I'll have the chance to charge it.
no subject
The question, though, that gets a bit of a shake of the head.]
Oh, no, no, it's fine. I wouldn't want to ask, especially if you have such limited space. I honestly just wish I had my own, here.
[Still...]
You seem to be having a good time with it, though, and I was curious about it.
