WEEK 4, MONDAY, HALLOWEEN PARTY \o/

[trettende]

[ That's right, cast members! It's Halloween! Some weird holiday Hans totally read up on that involves dressing up and eating sweets, apparently. As with his last party, Hans has slipped an invitation under your door, inviting you, yes you! To celebrate Halloween in the... third floor ballroom? Hell, Hans didn't plan for that, but if the set-up's there, he'll take it. The note doesn't quite say "It's what Hime would have wanted" but it does say "We should all stick together and try to make the best of our time with each other," so y'know. It's implied. Along with "Costumes mandatory! It's not Halloween without that."

Once you arrive at the party, what will you do? Will you enjoy some refreshments? The drinks are set out just like last time, along with some cake made by Astarte (not exactly Hime quality but a very sweet attempt,) perhaps take the chance to share some stories or show off your costume? Or maybe you'd like to check out what's going on at the tables? Looks like someone set up pumpkin carving stations Why, the possibilities are endless! ]

costume

[That is the most beautiful costume ever, holy shit. The Pirate King has absolutely embraced this holiday like the embarrassing manchild that he is, but his costume consists of his regular clothes and a cape. Which probably isn't exactly giving any clues as to what he's supposed to be, but he's got some of those plastic vampire fangs in (where the hell did he get those, that's probably not very hygienic) and they're kind of making it hard to talk.]

What an incredible outfit! I'm a bit saddened that I didn't see it first!

[...at least he's still understandable.]

[trettende]

[ I mean, at least he's in the spirit! That's great! Totally winning points for effort, Pirate King. ]

Why, thank you! [ It's awful but Hans is getting a distinct kick out of it. ] It really drew my eye when I saw it in the costume room.

I'm lucky it was in my size.

[ or was it perhaps.... destiny? ]

[catliketread]

Indeed! It's certainly much more flattering than any other pumpkin costumes in there. Though you should get a crown - then you could be a pumpking!

[...is that in poor taste given what he learned about hans at the trial? naaaaaaaah]

[trettende]

I-- [ oh my god no that's perfect, Hans can't hide his laughter. ] Yes, that would have been... well, perhaps in poor taste, but it would have been perfect!

[ You're his new fave, Pirate King ]

[catliketread]

Costume puns are among my favorite! Take me, for example!

[He swishes his cape dramatically.]

I am the Vampirate King!

[THAT'S JUST STUPID]

[trettende]

[ Hans shouldn't keep laughing because that joke is awful but he snickers all the same. He can't hep it. ]

That's... [ snicker ] That's really good.

[ FOR REAL THO, Hans can't contain himself. ]

Are you a comedian back home, as well as a Pirate King?

[catliketread]

Oh no, not at all! I am the Pirate King!

[yes, everyone knows that.]

Though I certainly would never say no to telling jokes! My crew has heard most of them many times before, however.

[trettende]

Well, it's a good thing we haven't heard quite all of them yet. I think staying positive is an important part of making it through this.

[ Hence, the party! For all that hans is a jerk, he knows the value of teamwork. ]
