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. ]

I let myself have one sweet a week. If I let myself overindulge like this, I'll have hell to pay later!
destage: (SHOCK ♡ Those colors don't go together!)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-06 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
One a week? Tohsaka-san, that's absolutely insane! You're practically living my usual diet...and believe me, it's the worst!
heritrix: (look here)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You drink protein shakes too? I don't think they're that bad...
destage: (UH ♡ I have SEVERAL questions)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-06 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh, I don't go nearly that far, actually.

[Beat.]

They smell kind of awful, though, from what little experience I've had with them...
heritrix: (okay then)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-07 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
So I just have terrible taste. [Hmmm.] I see how it is.
destage: (DISMAY ♡ Stop embarrassing me!!)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-07 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not it at all! If it's what you like, then it has some taste!

[Her tone is going instantly apologetic.]
heritrix: (chin up)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-08 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
[And Rin's tone is turning instantly impish, following a cheerful laugh.]

No need to get worked up now. I was teasing you.
destage: (HIDE ♡ Facepalming or crying tbh)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-08 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[...HEY]

Tohsaka-san, that's mean! How could you possibly be so cruel?

[She starts to just...sniffle a bit, and hide her eyes behind a hand.]
heritrix: (ho hum)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-09 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[/pat, pat?]

There, there. You're laying it on a little thick.

[SHE SEES WHAT YOU'RE DOING, TRYING TO GET BACK AT HER.]
destage: (NEUTRAL ♡ Well I'm listening)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-09 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
...Aw man, really?

[The act is dropped instantly.]

Here I thought I was doing okay.
heritrix: (heh heh)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-09 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That's only because I'd just played my own trick. [Rin slides in.] I bet it would work like a charm on anyone else in here, though. Or certain people in particular~
destage: (SCREAM ♡ internal screaming forever)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-09 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...C-certain people in particular?

[Rin, are you implying something. You sound like you're implying something here.]
heritrix: (miss points-a-lot)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-10 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
I can think of at least two. Maybe more if their instincts aren't sharp? But those are the ones who embarrass less easily, so I bet you could score a dance with them just by asking.
destage: (UH ♡ I have SEVERAL questions)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-10 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
...Do I dare ask who you think those two are? I'm not exactly one for dancing with others outside of my work, if I can be honest.

[Because that would look super bad on the article of a tabloid.]
heritrix: (all good)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-10 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
I figured not, but it would be fun, right? Actually, I should check if you agree before continuing, I suppose.
destage: (CURIOUS ♡ Alternate universes?)

[personal profile] destage 2017-10-10 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...I don't actually know, but...maybe? I mean...

[...There's someone who comes to mind, but Sayaka shakes her head easily.]

It seems kind of tactless to do here.
heritrix: (snowfall)

[personal profile] heritrix 2017-10-11 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
No way. Cabanela is offering dancing lessons in a dinosaur costume, and still getting takers. Who would turn down a cute zombie?
