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.

[Nill doesn't quite realize what the gesture means at first - she's never done it before - but she catches on after a moment, and lifts her hand to bump her knuckles against his. Hell yes. They've got this.

If there are more Daves running around, then she doesn't notice. Instead she nods at Dave, and offers a smile. She's fairly confident for someone that was in the hospital last week.]

Of course.

[But the telepathy communication is a little impractical for a place like this unless he doesn't talk too, so she won't use it again. Or she'll at least make it look like it might not be necessary.]

[moveslikestrider]

[Dave nods in approval when Nill gives him a fist bump. Hell yeah. Her confidence is contagious, making him feel like he can do this. Which he can. Even if it takes a ton of tries, that's just being the Knight of Time.]

Give me a signal if you find anything besides the decorations of a thousand stares. I'll give you a yo if I spot anything. I'll switch to my shades as a signal. Got it?

[reassures]

[It seems his Knight of Time skills are pretty handy. A lot handier than what she can do, but that's what you get for buying time and breath. They were still good investments.

Nill's has this gesture down already, though. She flashes a wider smile, and gives him a thumbs up. She's got this. All she has to do is listen enough to get an idea of who to keep an eye on - and if Nill has learned anything these past two years, it's how to listen in crowds.]

Be careful.

[moveslikestrider]

I'm always careful. It's cool. We got this. [Well, sort of careful. He mostly just doesn't think about it. Because thinking about it means he might risk over thinking what's going on and his role in it. That way leads to dead Daves. Dead Daves are the enemy.]

[reassures]

[Ah ah, Dave. Nill lifts a hand, and taps her forefinger to her lips.]

You shouldn't respond out loud. It isn't well known that I can do this.

[She's been keeping it secret for years now - though recently she's gotten much more liberal in who she's let know about, for the most part people still are relatively unaware. Almost no one knows the true extent of what she can do. At any rate, she's at least trusting Dave with this much.]

[moveslikestrider]

[He looks a little surprised and nods. That was a bit careless. He knows he has to be very careful here. Dave gives her a thumbs up. While it's a little weird to have someone sliding around in his thoughts like they're on a slip and slide, it's not so bad.

So long as nothing personal pops up.]

[reassures]

[It's all good, she doesn't hold it against him. As far as she knows, she got one of the less... "normal" powers, and most people probably don't know how to deal with it.

Not to worry though. Nill very rarely pries. And even when something personal pops up, she's polite enough to pretend she didn't hear most of the time. So she lifts a hand, and waves slightly, before turning to go mingle.]
