HALLOWEEN PARTY

[halfbloodhillmods]

Who: The entire camp!
What: Mr. D has moved up his festival of Apokries to coincide with Halloween! It's time to party! Where: All around the camp!
When: Thursday, October 31st
Why: Because, why not?

It was decided earlier in the month that to coincide with the holiday of Halloween, and to give campers a bit of fun after all this nonsense, that Mr. D would be holding his festival of Apokries early! As such the entire camp has been decked out in all sorts of spoooooky decorations.

It's as though a carnival has been set up over night, with music and food all around. There are satyrs and nymphs handing out candy at cabins (smarties for Athena, warheads for Ares, ect.) for any people wanting to trick or treat,  and campers running around in costumes. 

The ampitheatre has once again become a designated dancing spot, and Apollo might have returned to DJ, the arena miiiight have been transformed into a bit of a Haunted House (with special thanks to Hecate), and Demeter has set up a corn maze for campers to navigate through! 

It's time to have some fun!

[He looks relieved.]

We'll see how it goes. You'll probably have more patience with the silliness right now anyway.

[dandylicious]

Anything you need, promise.

[There's only a few people he makes that promise to... But when he makes it, he means it.]

Yeah... I mean, most likely.

[unstinting]

I see you didn't get roped into being Ken either.

[He snags Courfeyrac by the collar to tug him down to sit.]

They bothered me all last week about it.

[dandylicious]

Despite what they think, I'm not cut out to be Ken.

[He chuckles as Alcuin tugs at the collar around his neck and sits with him.]

Jehan suggested I'm already catlike enough that I should just be a cat.

[unstinting]

I should have known it was Jehan's idea.

[He is very smart.]

Though I'm surprised you're not as shirtless as he is.

[dandylicious]

I decided to try and keep it PG for most of the night-- Because the moment I lose this shirt I'm definitely calling myself a sex kitten.

[He looks far too amused with himself as he stretches a little.]

[unstinting]

You are ridiculous.

[But actually succeeding at making Alcuin smile, so there's that.]

[dandylicious]

Thank you... It comes naturally, I don't even have to try.

[And score at making him smile! That makes it all worth it.]

[unstinting]

Do you think anyone else will agree with you on the sex kitten thing?

[He is willing to let Reynaud distract him for now.]

[dandylicious]

Who wouldn't? Pretty sure I've made out with at least a quarter of the camp... More if we don't count the non-Greeks.

[He's good at distracting. It's when it comes to actual comforting that he kind of sucks.]

[unstinting]

A quarter? You've certainly done the cabin proud.

[Alcuin was saving his lips for a certain someone and now thinking about that has made him sad again. Oops. He keeps his smile in place, though.]

[dandylicious]

Give or take... I can't figure out if that's me being generous or modest.

[He nudges Alcuin a little, glancing back at the fire.]

Want some more s'mores?

[See what he did there?!]

[unstinting]

Well, I'm glad you're picking up my slack.

[He nudges him back with arched brows at the extremely bad joke.]

Yes, I'll have s'more.

[dandylicious]

I do what I can.

[But with another grin he, reluctantly, gets up with a "be right back" and goes to make a few more...

Returning a few minutes later with a plate of several.]

So neither of us has to get up again if we don't want to.

[unstinting]

[Alcuin relaxes. And fends off several people who try to take his brother's seat with stern looks.]

Oh, good idea. I know I don't actually intend to get up until our cabin is relatively quiet again.

[dandylicious]

[He grins and flops back down.]

So, a few hours still?

[unstinting]

Something like that. It's not like I can order them to shut up and go to sleep.

[Well, he could, but he doesn't want to use his charmspeak like that and that's the only way he could make it work.]

[dandylicious]

We could tell them that there's a bunch of guys out here without dates and look bored out of their skulls?

If you can't charm them, trick them.

[unstinting]

I think that would be mean.

[And he might want to go to bed, but he's not mean. Alas.]

[dandylicious]

[He laughs a little and shakes his head.]

Only if it were entirely untrue. Still, I'm not going to complain about having time to bond with my brother without our sisters around.

[unstinting]

It's true, we are in the minority. Especially since...

[Since Zane left. Which just reminds him of the Red Room. He picks apart his s'more instead of eating it.]

[dandylicious]

[... He's really doing a great job of bringing up triggering thoughts, isn't he? Courf needs to put his foot in his mouth sometimes.

He leans, nudging Alcuin's shoulder with his own.]

We make up for it with how badass we are.

[unstinting]

[It's not entirely his fault. Alcuin is basically entirely trigger points right now. He nudges Reynaud back.]

I'm working on that, anyway.

[dandylicious]

[Still, he's trying extra hard not to remind him... Another nudge.]

You won't have work hard at it...

[unstinting]

I'm immune to your flattery.

[Alcuin nudges back again, but he looks pleased.]
