Halloween doesn't just belong to the young and young-at-heart. Candy isn't hard to come by. So why not spend some time partying it up?

Thanks to a mistake and Network spam sent via Julian, Xino E. Mao has been dressed up for precisely that line of thinking. Thanks to Xigbar's quick fixes (i.e. connections and a few spells for the occasion), the rooms reserved for special events have been opened up for the masquerade. Yes, masquerade. All are expected to dress in costumes that aren't corny.

The lighting is dim, overlaying fitting decorations which fulfill the eerie ambiance necessary for such a Hallowed Night. These are far from cheesy store-bought decorations, of course. It's stylish and...alive. Why yes, those are Heartless Shadows creeping along the walls.

Don't get too caught up staring at the details – the details will stare back at you.

To all who enter here: enjoy.

[ He has never laid eyes on you before, costumed or otherwise, but something is.. Familiar. Not necessarily a good feeling, not when there is a distincting taint of shadow to the man opposite him.

It's like that one word you want, one that teeters on the tip of your tongue as you struggle to remember but it never works up the courage to take that final step back into memory's dictionary.

Well, that's going to bother him all night.]


Given your company's position, I would imagine so. Generous, to stage an event for so many.


[His left ear twitches at the question. What can you do? Well, since we're being polite:]


Hmm. I have not been long in Siren's Port. Perhaps you might identify your fellow hosts for me?


[Better the Nobodies you know. Or somethingsomething.]

[ A very distinct, rather familiar taint, no? His smile is easy and knowing/, like he's savoring a joke the other had yet to be made privy to.

All things in their proper time. ]

We do try.

[ As for the question- well. ]

Why, certainly!

[ He gestures grandly in Xemnas's direction. ]

My employer Xemnas, the company's CEO. There's a few others from the parent company, but they're in disguise at the moment.

Mostly, it's just the two of us.

[hikari_no_kundou]

[A very familiar taint, yet he does not know how or why.

Grandiose gesture is followed, mentally making note of the gentleman indicated, though his head briefly tips to one side. Something about that bearing.. The hair is disconcertingly familiar, too. Hnnnnnn..

He at least keeps his voice cordial:]

As one would be, at a masquerade. Some attendees seem more comfortable than others.

And you would be...?

[Both ears flick back, but there's no outward sign of the wariness rising. Eraqus can't help but begin to really dislike that smile, however.

You'd think Xigbar did that on purpose or something.]

[madannoshashu]

[ Oh, Eraqus. If you only knew how deliberate he is.

The smile remains, as sharp as it ever was. ]

Xigbar. CBO of the Xino E. Mao Corporation.

And you?

[hikari_no_kundou]

[ Xigbar.

The name now has a face.

He does not growl. But if the wolf-smile bares slight fang, well. That's just the disadvantage of his choice in costume, wouldn't you agree?

Instead, large grey paw is extended forwards. Don't mind the rather wicked looking claws there, Xigbar. You know how Halloween Town is about its disguises. ]


Eraqus. Only recently arrived.
