Halloween Masquerade Ball

Who: The Newcomer Political Party and The Newcomers!
When: October 27th, 7:00pm till Morning Sirens.
Where: The Newcomer Community Center
Summary: Time for some Halloween Masquerade Fun!
Warnings: Anything is possible!

The Community Center has been transformed into a sophisticated autumn dance hall, with bits of Halloween decorations around the room. When the door opens, you find yourself in the hall before the main room, someone ready to take your coat, if you have one, and another ready to give out bracelets. That way no one who shouldn't be drinking won't be able to.



The dance floor is surrounded by a number of small, round tables, each with an elaborate centerpiece of cobwebs. There are lights within the hanging decorations, with draped fabric over the sides, to give it a more close knit feeling. At the head of all the tables is a bar serving free drinks and cocktails to anyone over age. There is also a buffet



And then, of course, there is the dance floor, where people are dancing to the music supplied by two talented DJs, lights blinking and the room ready for everyone to have a good time.



Last call for food is two hours before sirens, and then the last call for drinks is an hour before the party finishes. You might want to be careful when it gets to be that time, though. Around 1:00 am, the party is going to change, due to a series of unfortunate events. You may not be very hungry or thirsty for awhile after.

[It had taken a fair bit of thinking to work out what would make a good costume for a couple where one half had 60 percent of his face covered at all times anyway, but Mia had finally had an inspired idea and got the respective outfits together and had been feeling extremely proud of her quick thinking.

She was dressed as a 19th Century Spanish Doña, (or a Hollywood approximation of one at least), with a gold mask and a big red silk rose clipped behind her ear, and was trying very hard to ignore the fact that her escort seemed to be pouting as they walked in.]


You look great, stop sulking. We're going to have a great time.
beenwaitinglong: (Hmmph)

[Diego matches, of course, in a very appropriate costume for him. He just wishes he didn't need to tie the bandana mask over his visor, which makes it both more difficult to see and, he is convinced, makes him look like a complete idiot.]

I look like somebody slapped a T-shirt over their brakelights.
chiefdefense: (and take to dinner)

[Mia laughs because he looks thoroughly hangdog about the whole thing; he really doesn't look bad at all and she tried to be very precise with the craft knife when it came to cutting out the eye holes for him.]

Do you really have that little faith in me? I promise you, the costume looks fantastic.
beenwaitinglong: (Glow)

[personal profile] beenwaitinglong 2012-10-28 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
I look like I'm smuggling contraband LEDs on my face.

[It's a shame too, because he thinks he looks damn fine in the rest of this outfit. And Mia looks damn fine in hers.]

I swear, this damned thing...

[He squeezes her hand with an irritable sigh.]
chiefdefense: (Always something nice to say)

[personal profile] chiefdefense 2012-10-28 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head and squeezes his hand back. Aside from the bulkiness and the glow from the visor, it really could look a darn sight worse.]

'This damned thing' doesn't look nearly as bad under there as you think it does.

Well now... I can't really tell you what it looks like without.

[He is absolutely man-pouting. He just keeps telling himself, though, that it's better than doddering around here blind.]

I need a cup of coffee. Take my mind off it.
chiefdefense: (she's got grace)

[personal profile] chiefdefense 2012-10-28 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[That particular protest finally tips Mia over the edge and she stops walking long enough to wrap her arms around his waist.]

If I told you that you're the best looking man in the room, would that stop you from pouting, you big baby?
beenwaitinglong: (Unnecessarily cryptic)

[personal profile] beenwaitinglong 2012-10-28 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe he was just fishing for it, because he's smiling as she puts her arms around him.]

Ha...! I'm gonna need a little evidence to back that up, you know.
chiefdefense: (and I don't refuse her)

[personal profile] chiefdefense 2012-10-28 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course he was, and Mia's smiling back.]

You know, they say that Beauty's in the eye of the beholder.

beenwaitinglong: (Pour a #40)

[personal profile] beenwaitinglong 2012-10-28 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Does that make you the beholder?

[He sighs again, and would press his forehead to hers if his hat wasn't in the way.]

All right, kitten. I know I look as good as it's going to get. Let's go get something to drink.
chiefdefense: (She's the kind they'd like to flaunt)

[personal profile] chiefdefense 2012-10-28 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a plan.

[She tiptoes up and cups his cheek while she brushes a quick kiss against the corner of his mouth before taking his hand again.]

...did I ever tell you that I had a thing for swashbucklers?
beenwaitinglong: (Default)

[personal profile] beenwaitinglong 2012-10-28 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so?

[He laces up his fingers with hers as she brings her hand back down.]

Good news for me.
chiefdefense: (She can take what I dish out)

[personal profile] chiefdefense 2012-10-28 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly is, Don Diego de la Cafe.

[She hums in assent as they head towards the refreshment table. Off hand, she can't see any coffee and wonders whether they're going to have a problem.]
beenwaitinglong: (Douchebag grin #12)

[personal profile] beenwaitinglong 2012-10-29 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ha...! I like it. Has a nice ring to it.

[Oh, don't worry. There's coffee. Raul was just waiting for Diego to arrive and get it going. He steps behind the refreshments table and pulls up a cart with two coffee brewers attached.]

Hang on. Need to do my volunteer work for the night...
chiefdefense: (She's a Lady)

[personal profile] chiefdefense 2012-10-29 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Well... on the one hand she really should have been expecting something like that to happen.

Still, only Diego Armando could consider brewing coffee at a public event to be volunteer work.]


Can you really get away with calling it volunteer work if you're going to reap the benefits of it yourself?
beenwaitinglong: (Mmmm coffee)

[personal profile] beenwaitinglong 2012-10-29 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Volunteering benefits everyone, kitten.

[He works a little of his typical wizardry with the brewers, taking steps that make absolutely no sense to anyone but him, and finally the two are percolating away.]

All right. Now we give it four minutes.
chiefdefense: (Well she never asks for very much)

[personal profile] chiefdefense 2012-10-29 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Always so quick with an answer for everything; Mia smiles as she casts a scrupulous eye over the drinks on offer. Hmm... what to have?]

Are you sure you can hold out for that long? You're looking a little decaffeinated.
