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!

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.]

[dandylicious]

Nonsense. No one is!

[He laughs and nudges again as he finishes the s'more in his hand. Because he can.]

Because my flattery is all true... Really, though, I want to go with you to that Roman training sometime. Not by myself because that lady freaks me out...

[unstinting]

Reyna isn't that bad.

[Though this is coming from the person who would say that no one in camp is that bad, even on pain of torture.]

I like her. And yes, you should definitely come to training.

[dandylicious]

[The Look he gets for that...

But it passes shortly as he shrugs.]

Yeah, I totally want to. Just... not tomorrow because I'll need my beauty sleep after this.

[unstinting]

I might skip tomorrow. I think I've had too many chocolates.

[Specifically the ones with the booze inside.]

[dandylicious]

Then it's agreed. We'll skip tomorrow and get some very well deserved rest... And start fresh the day after.

[unstinting]

An excellent resolution. I'm going to hold you to it.

[He rests his head on Reynaud's shoulder and finishes off what remains of his s'more.]

[dandylicious]

I swear I will not try to weasel my way out of my first day.

[He pats Alcuin's knee, as though reassuring him, but otherwise doesn't move so he can rest if he needs to.]

[unstinting]

It becomes habitual pretty quickly. You'll build up your stamina.

[He's pretty tired, so Reynaud's shoulder is a very comfy place to rest.]

[dandylicious]

[He's used to it, so it doesn't bother him really.]

I'd make an innuendo about my stamina being just fine, thank you... But now I've ruined it.

[unstinting]

I did leave it wide open for that.

[He rolls his eyes and lets out an amused huff.]

[dandylicious]

You're so good to me.

[He chuckles under his breath.]

That quarter of the camp might be thanking you and the Romans later for my increased stamina, in that case.

[unstinting]

As well they should.

[He pauses.]

I'm not going to make any jokes about you and the Romans, though.

[dandylicious]

Wait no... Now I want to hear them!
