🎃🎃🎃

Who: Everyone!
Where: Guild Name's @ home.
When: Vague Approximation of Halloween
What: pardi pardi pardi
Warnings: General party warnings for things like alcohol consumption, but anything specific is up to y'all heathens.





Not many people have entered Guild Name’s @ home before today, which is perhaps understandable given the demeanor of its owner. The few who have will find the @ home entirely redecorated - if you could even say it was decorated in the first place, with how utilitarian everything was before. Maybe Owen’s taken a leaf out of Telophoroi’s book, or he’s really into halloween. Or both. Either way, Sweets Grunty has done a lot of work to essentially redecorate the entire @ home.

The main hall is where most of the action is, with tables set up filled with snacks and drinks. Most of the snacks are small finger foods, and it does seem to heavily lean towards sweeter options, but all of them have a general spooky flair. There are candy apples, cupcakes, finger sandwiches, hand pies, nothing too outrageous. There’s a selection of wine, ciders (both alcoholic and alcohol-free), as well as harder spirits, liqueurs, and juices if people want to craft something stiffer, and coffee and teas for people who want a different sort of buzz. There’s music playing over speakers, but a piano also sits in the hall. You’ll probably want to get permission before you try to play it, though.

There are chairs and tables for people who would rather sit and eat, as well as an open space to serve as a rudimentary dance floor for people who would rather move, but it’s clear the plans for this party were simply “people can do whatever they want”. There’s even tubs of water with apples if people want to go bobbing, and other random party games for people to fuck around with. The world is your oyster, and Owen doesn’t care what people do (which is why PVP is enabled within Guild Name).

The only other rooms that can be entered without asking Owen about it are a bathroom which hasn’t escaped the halloween decorations, and the kitchen which seems to be where Sweets Grunty can be found keeping itself busy.

[ Oria laughs a little and watches Sinclair go for the apple. Oria hasn't done this before, but he feels like he'll know what to do when it's his turn. ]

Don't go for it too hard!

[MASSIVE FLASHBACKS TO HIS DRUNKARD RUN]

...no. I...I know what kind of drunk I am. It's not that but...pass.

I can make them as long as I'm given direction.

[ It's not that hard to see that Hien lacks in artistic creativity right now... despite how he can draw well. ]
insinning: (fluster; a little pout)

[Sinclair uses the sides of the tank to keep himself up as he ducks his head into the water a second time, as he finally manages to sink his teeth into an apple. He tries to lift it out...only for the apple to slip from his mouth and drop back into the tank]

Ugh. Was it always this hard?

[personal profile] dissimulative 2023-10-29 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Did they wax it?

[ He wouldn't put it past someone to play a prank like this. ]

Hold on. Here.

[ He hands Sinclair a towel to wipe his face and holds the hat out back go him. ]

I'm gonna give it a try.

[ Despite all the cat jokes he makes— ]

I don't really favor either one, to be honest. It's not that I don't like them, but I just don't care about them.

[ So the dog park? Noisy. Cat cafe? A restaurant violation just waiting to happen. ]
justonezero: (huh?)

Then-!

[Going to give it a shot! He does moderately well (11) at apple collection.]
insinning: (flustered; caught unawares)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-10-29 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so...

[Rude, if so. Sinclair will accept the towel and hat, his words muffled as he dries his face]

Maybe try for a smaller apple...

I'm gonna go for a big one.

[ Oria Severine will never pass up a reasonable challenge when he sees it!! So he takes his glasses off to hand it over to Sinclair. After that, he grips both sides of the water basin. He can only see color blobs, but that's all he needs right now and he goes for an apple! There isn't a big splash, but Oria's face is submerged into the water until almost all of his head is.

He slowly raises his head out of the water and he really just bit into the apple underwater while pressing it down to the bottom of the basin. Now he has his teeth buried inside a slightly bigger than average sized apple. He yanks it out after taking a bite out of it and brushes his wet hair back. Yummy.

insinning: (smile; a sheepish little thing)

Show off.

[Sinclair laughs, as Oria finally lifts his head with the bigger apple in his mouth. He hangs Oria's glasses off his collar for a moment, as he reaches up with the towel to dry Oria's hair and face]

[ They already established that Owen cares(?) somewhat in their last meeting, so Hien isn't going to repeat that situation again. However. ]

I'm fine.

[ His head always hurts, but that's been the case for several weeks now. Nothing changed, in his opinion. ]

... I know I'm not good at decorating, but seriously. I'm fine.
insinning: (smile; well it might be ok)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-10-29 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Good work.

[Adding that to the scoreboard. It's funny how well Nanashi is doing with the apple bobbing collection]

[ Oria laughs. ]

I'm the best! You didn't like my hair brushed back?

[ Now he's just being a little shit. ]
insinning: (thinking; not the worst thing)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-10-29 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[...

He hands Oria back his glasses and pushes his hair back just to see]


Hmmm...without the hair gel...

[He likes Oria regardless but]

Why are you so obsessed with the hair gel!! I hate hair gel!

[ WEH... he's huffy now and immediately putting his glasses back on. Hmph!! ]

True, the bunny ears are important. They’re your signature. How did you get wet though?
insinning: (smile; ehehehe)

[personal profile] insinning 2023-10-29 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no...Sinclair grins, trying to hide his smile as he helps smooth Oria's hair back into place]

Because you had to use so much...

[Offering Oria another bite from his candied apple]

But that's good. I don't like hair gel either.

[personal profile] dissimulative 2023-10-29 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hair gel would be a death sentence for your fluffy hair...

[ He's still pouting, but then he takes a bite out of that candied apple that there's a loud crunch noise. ]
