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.

Why, thank you! ♥

[ It's probably mad of him to actually eat this candy corn. But Hatter's influence is eating away not only at his judgement, but also his (admittedly undeveloped) sense of self-preservation. He tosses a few of the candies into his mouth and chomps them merrily.

In the meantime, he lets his hand go limp. Eventually Stein will tire of holding it, and then he'll reach again. ]
circumsutus: (so many cute smiles)

[Really, Break, you could stand to be a little more trusting. Stein has done absolutely nothing to the candy corn.

When Break's hand goes limp, Stein pulls it down off his head, not wanting to risk just letting go and giving Break the opportunity to grab the screw.
]

How are you enjoying the party so far?

[This situation is vaguely reminiscent of the last party he attended, taunting back-and-forth with someone potentially dangerous. Break is nowhere near as much a threat, or a temptation, as Medusa.]
maddeninghatter: (don't mind if I do)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2012-12-10 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The idea that he could be a temptation on any level honestly does not occur to him; he flirts on purpose to annoy. ]

Well - I've got a big man holding my hand and giving me candy.

[ He tosses back the last of the candy corn. He's slightly disappointed that it's just candy. ]

I'd say it's going pretty well~♥

[personal profile] circumsutus 2012-12-10 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stein's not exactly used to being on the receiving end of flirting, but he'll roll with it.]

Well, I'm sorry to ruin your night, but I'm out of candy.
maddeninghatter: (come to the cabaret)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2012-12-11 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Things Break has learned from this little interlude:

1. Stein is sensitive about having his head touched, where the fabled screw lives.
2. He's not sensitive about having his lap sat in, nor his pockets patted, so it's not merely a personal space issue.
3. He's not self-conscious, otherwise he'd mind having a grown man publicly sitting in his lap at a party. Thus he's not embarrassed about the screw (moreover, everyone else seems to know it's there just by looking).
4. He carries candy (irrelevant to the screw issue, just a useful fact!)

Ergo, if Stein doesn't want that screw touched, it must be because it's a vulnerability. ]


I won't ruin your night, either. I won't hurt you.

[ He lifts his free hand (that had been holding the candy corn) and reaches up - slowly, this time, obviously not grabbing. ]

I just want to see.
circumsutus: (more shiny glasses)

[personal profile] circumsutus 2012-12-11 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[The list of people that Stein has allowed to touch his screw is incredibly short. In fact, there are no names on that list.

Break is not going to be the first name on that list.

Stein catches the other man's wrist, stopping him from further movement.
]

You're going to need sight for that.
maddeninghatter: (you amuse me)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2012-12-12 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, there's no question now. He's asked nicely, and Stein is still putting him off. A useful bit of information, which he'll file away for future reference.

He makes a show of struggling against Stein's grip, though his smile is as bright as ever. ]


Is that sooooooo~?

You want another go at it, hmmm?

[personal profile] circumsutus 2012-12-12 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Again, Stein brings Break's hand down, away from the screw.]

I did promise to see what I could do to help you. I hate giving up after just one attempt.
maddeninghatter: (I may not have another year left)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-01-04 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Stein, though mad as a box of frogs, seems at least sincere. Break sits quietly, making no more moves towards that screw. ]

I haven't trusted the information from my eye for some time. I've adapted. Besides...

[ He pauses, weighing his options. His default is not to entrust anyone with his secrets; to take all his burdens onto himself. However, if he has learned anything from what's happened to him here, it's that he has to accept help sometimes. ]

...my vision is the least of my problems, right now.
circumsutus: (kawaii peace sign)

[personal profile] circumsutus 2013-01-07 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Mad as a hatter, are you?

[Subtle enough, Break?]
maddeninghatter: (Default)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-01-08 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Which is Emily's turn to chime in: ]

BIRDS OF A FEATHER HA! HA! HA!
circumsutus: (twisting smoke)

[personal profile] circumsutus 2013-01-08 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, it's time for Stein to talk to a doll.]

"Birds of a feather", miss?
maddeninghatter: (emily you bad girl)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-01-09 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, nobody ever talks to Emily! She clicks happily, preening. ]

YOU'RE BOTH BARKING!

[personal profile] circumsutus 2013-01-09 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
What does that make you?
maddeninghatter: (Liiiiiiiiick!)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-01-09 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
WE'RE ALL MAD HERE! I'M MAD, YOU'RE MAD--

--that's enough, Emily!
maddeninghatter: (titter)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-01-10 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Haha! The lady's got a point, doesn't she? I've obviously taken leave of my senses...

[ He slides off of Stein's lap and stands. He tips his hat, jauntily. ]

...if I'm looking for assistance from a man with a screw through his head!

[personal profile] circumsutus 2013-01-10 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Stein twists the object in his head with one hand. A ratcheting noise, then a final click as the it stops.]

It's just an aesthetic modification to an already existing surgery. [Lobotomy, removal of a part of the brain to modify thought patterns.

The tap of a blunt fingernail against the head of the screw.
]

It helps me think.
maddeninghatter: I meant to do that (smile ♘ don't mind me)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-01-10 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It takes a moment for Break to associate that ratcheting noise with Stein's screw, but when he makes the connection... ]

How, er, lovely for you.

[ URK! He starts to edge away. ]

Having experienced your brand of surgery already, I must say that once is enough. And as for Emily here--

I'LL PASS!

[personal profile] circumsutus 2013-01-10 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Now, now, it's not that bad. You won't even need glasses afterwards.
maddeninghatter: (too funny)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-02-18 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh, forgive me when I say that's not entirely reassuring!
circumsutus: (mild interest)

[personal profile] circumsutus 2013-02-18 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? [Stein had needed glasses after the surgery, but Break's already blind. Totally reassuring.

Though, it's less an actual offer and more just talking.
]
maddeninghatter: I'm accepting candy from strangers now (I don't have parental supervision)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-02-20 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks anywaaaaay~!

[ He reaches into his pocket and draws out a chocolate: one of the spider-filled ones. ]

Sorry to turn you down, but - would you like one?
circumsutus: (screw twist)

[personal profile] circumsutus 2013-02-22 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
I've had enough spiders for one lifetime. [More than enough spiders.]
