Halloween 2018!

[ax_glory]

Gilmore has volunteered to plan this year's Halloween party, and Shinobi is bankrolling the festivities, so Gilmore is going all out. Think Gothic eleganza decor with tons and tons of (LED) candelabra and black crepe everywhere. Excellent themed catering. Dip-your-own-caramel-apple bar. Gross-looking delicious sugary snacks everywhere.

And definitely a murder mystery scavenger hunt -- which I have just now learned is a thing -- just in case solving pretend crimes is more your type of socializing instead of dancing. :D

The official date will be October 27, at the school, the Saturday before actual Halloween.

He will need hecka help to pull this off so is seeking volunteers, as well as a DJ or two, because bringing in a human DJ is obvi not gonna happen.

So let's get this party started!! Tell us your costume, tell us your plans, tell us what kind of logs you're looking for!

Comments

Bobby Drake

[ax_iceman]

Ok, so...Bobby and Tommy teamed up on the costumes. So Bobby's going as Captain Cold...



He'll be hanging out, dancing badly, and pretending to freeze things with his freeze gun.

He'd like logs with the usual culprits:

Tommy
Kurt
Scott
Jeanne-Marie
Wynonna

Or anyone else - it's Bobby, he'll talk to pretty much anyone!

Re: Bobby Drake

[ax_speed]

And Tommy's going as (a store-bought) the Flash. This version:



He'll be wearing the hood down around his neck a lot though, instead of up.

(And definite yes to a Tommy/Bobby log!)

[ax_northstar]

JP, Warren, and Simon are coming as a Game of Thrones themed trio. Simon's doing a relatively serious Oberyn costume. Jean-Paul and Warren are coming as sexy Grey Wind and sexy Drogon, respectively.

[ax_glory]

... what the hell, guys. :D

Re: Kitty

[ax_glory]

Gilmore will go out of his way to tell her how GLORIOUS she looks!!

Jubilee

[ax_jubilee]

Jubilee's going to turn down Gilmore's offer to be a Clue character and go as Vanellope from Wreck it Ralph:



She'd love logs with people - open to pretty much anything!

Re: Jubilee

[ax_wiccan]

LOVE THIS!!!

Vax'ildan

[ax_blackguard]

Vax and Percy are going as rock stars... with Vax as Eddie Van Halen. So yeah, he'll be ridiculous. Prop guitar and all. And he'll probably be more sociable than usual, though he's going to keep a close eye on his sister - not quite hovering, but then again, she wouldn't know it if he was.

Clint

[ax_hawkeye]

Clint is going to raid the infirmary for gauze and go as a really crappy mummy. He'll be deaf at least for part of the party until he gets tired of it because he's wrapping his head and it interferes with his hearing aids. He can still read lips though. Fun times!

He may also forget to invite his girlfriend. >.> You know, the one that can hex things? Yeah.

He wants logs with Cal, and maybe Caleb as Clint is getting ready. (He will attempt to encourage you to go, Caleb.) He'd also love a log with Chell and Thor and maybe Vex?

Re: Clint

[ax_scarletwitch]

Yeah, Clint. Thanks for that. Really. :p

Ororo Munroe

[ax_storm]

Ororo will be wearing a top hat and some awesome eye make-up, along with a pretty Goth outfit, and matching black and white striped belt, choker, and arm warmers, nails painted black. She's going as the love child of Baron Samedi and Harley Quinn, pretty much.

She would like logs with the usual suspects, if they're in attendance - Jean, Scott, Billy (?), but also anyone else, at all. Vex maybe? Brigitte? Quatre? Shinobi? Anyone else, at all. :) Hit me up if you want her!

Re: Ororo Munroe

[ax_charm]

Damn. Vex will try not to stare at her legs.

Shen Li-Men

[ax_swift]

Shen has cosplayed the shit out of soldier!Mulan. She won't be sporting her wings, obviously. It's gonna be weird for her.

No plans for now but she wants to hang out with all of her friends. JM? War? Kitty omg she misses you? Monica? Keyleth? Maybe Gilmore, it's been an age since we threaded them? Tommy? Anyone, bring it on.

Re: Shen Li-Men

[ax_speed]

Tommy definitely needs a log with Shen, any time after the Takedown plot. You name it!

Terry Cassidy

[ax_siryn]

Terry is going as Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, and is wearing this dress, along with ankle boots and some fake-stitches make-up to look the part.

She'll prepare some playlists for you if you like, Gilmore!

She will also be planning to DRINK and DANCE and generally be a party animal everything is fine okay. Obviously, hang out with Wynonna. Also Jay! Clarice? Anyone at all, really! Bring it on! Whether you wanna lecture her on her drinking or join in. :)

Cal Rankin

[ax_mimic]

Cal is gonna go as an actual big bad wolf, black and blue-eyed. Not many people will know it's him, and he doesn't intend to really talk to anyone but a precious few, he doesn't like talking when in animal form. So when he does want to have a proper conversation with someone, he'll shift back into human, and be wearing Bigby's usual unkempt oufit, with a shirt and tie. He says big up to anyone who gets what that is all about.

Logs with Clint? Loki? Maybe Betsy? Any other takers?

Also he'll leave before the end and go hang out with Caleb if Caleb is available.

Re: Cal Rankin

[ax_magik]

Yana'd like one. Preferably not in wolf form, though.

Nolan Ross

[ax_herald]

Nolan will be going as Mr Peacock, in a very expensive peacock suit, whose exact shade of blue matches his matching tie and cufflinks, along with a black shirt, so it all pops as much as it should. Expect artfully tousled hair to complete the picture.

He will likely be joining in a scavenger hunt or two, especially if Shaun is playing. He will once again be fixing himself, and anyone else who wants one, some virgin cocktails. And he is up for logs with people! Shaun, obviously, but anyone he's friends or friendly with. Kitty? Shinobi? Anyone from VM? Simon? New people?

Re: Nolan Ross

[ax_magik]

Lu? Lu would love to see Nolan. Especially since we didn't quite manage to get her to his release party with Shinobi. >.>

TJ Wagner

[ax_nocturne]

TJ's gonna be dressed up as someone no one here should recognise (I mean, no student anyway, right?), Mystique! That means a red wig, a white slit dress, long white gloves, white thigh-high boots, and a skull belt. The tail will be retracted unless she has a good reason for it to come out.

If asked, she'll probably say she's Mrs White, because it amuses her. Or she'll just tell you she's someone from home and "Trust me, she's scary. Definitely Halloween material."

She wants to dance and party and all that good stuff! Logs with anyone really? Tommy? Billy? Clarice! Shaun? Vax? Pike or Vex? Grog maybe? It should happen at some point, with how much she enjoys checking him out. (She hopes his costume involves a lack of shirt, is all she's saying.) But really, anyone at all!

Re: TJ Wagner

[ax_wiccan]

Yiiiiiiiiiiis

[ax_hulkling]

Billy and Teddy are doing another couples costume this year - MIB. Meet Agents B and T.



The props are more homemade, decent cosplay level rather than storebought Wal-Mart plastic.

[ax_shadowcat]

Kitty thinks this is amazing.

Kitty

[ax_shadowcat]

Kitty again because I screwed up.

Shaun Gilmore

[ax_glory]

Gilmore will be wearing a purple sherwani with champagne-colored pants as shown in the photo, a vintage-style pince-nez (he actually made it, and yes he hooks the bit behind his ear), and is carrying a prop tobacco pipe (that he also made, but it's not hollow, it's pretend). His hair is as shown in the icon.

Gilmore is Professor Plum, Indian style, and will be one of the major clues if your character is doing the scavenger hunt!

He would love threads with friends or with new folks!

Percy

[ax_hex]

Percy's rock star is Billy Idol. Prop mic for him. Lots of punk accessories and eyeliner. His hair will be the messiest it has ever been.

He'd love logs from all the usual suspects, and really anyone else who'd like to meet/talk with him.

Re: Percy

[ax_trickster]

Loki is going to ask if he’s spike from Buffy.

Hana

[ax_dva]

D.Va is going as Alloy from Horizon Zero Dawn.

Hana's a social butterfly so she'll be bouncing all over the party. She'll take logs from anyone, but def wants ones from Kitty, Billy, and Goody. She'll dance with just about anyone who asks.

Re: Hana

[ax_mimic]

Ahahaha omg Shen will spend all evening avoiding the sci-fi Native American costume THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OKAY. Laughing so much.

Illyana

[ax_magik]

Illyana's scrounging an invite from Vex, and is dressing (unsurprisingly) as a witch:



She'd like logs with Kitty, Vex, Billy, Tommy, Cal, and anyone who wants to take issue with her being there. :) Or anyone who doesn't, for that matter! Oh, and Gilmore!

Re: Illyana

[ax_glory]

Yes, they need to meet!

[ax_charm]

Vex is mostly wearing her normal wardrobe with a witch hat on top. She’ll match Yana. If a third person wants to don a hat she says she’ll coin toss you for mother or crone. ((Clearly Yana gets to be the maiden, she looks adorable))

Vex will be less lively than usual. Not drinking too much, not dancing too much, she’ll probably have Trinket out in and her lap part of the night. End of night will probably slip off to the treehouse for the night.

*also, if Shen wants to make any comments about offensive portrayals of Wiccan culture Vex MIGHT START DRINKING

[ax_nocturne]

Ahahaha I don't think Shen will. SHE WOULD IF SHE HAD THOUGHT OF IT but as her emojis in her post prove, she hasn't. Wait until she meets a Wiccan who points that out. ;)

Also Ororo would check in on Vex.

[ax_sanguine]

Per dear Shaun's suggestion, Molly will be Mx Scarlet.



And will be very happily overacting whenever the situation calls for it.

The shirt may or may not be specifically chosen to show off his shiny new tattoo of a snake curling around his right arm.

[ax_glory]

IDK I liked it when the tattoo was a snark. ;)

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Gilmore adores him so much.

Kurt

[ax_nightcrawler]

Kurt going to be the groom to JM's Lady Dracula. He will be doing something kinda like the pic below. He'll use fake blood to put bite marks on his neck, and stain the collar of his shirt a bit to emphasize the 'hey, I was bit by a vampire'.

Log-wise: Anyone who wants Kurt is welcome to him. He'll, of course, be hanging out/dancing with his girlfriend, and with the two idiots he calls his best friends. He'll pretty much dance with whoever asks. Also, 100% chance your character hears him saying 'Yes, mistress' to JM at some point.

[ax_trickster]

Loki will be going as Little Red Riding Hood.

He might partake in the scavenger hunt! (If Duo would like to?)

Other activities include: side eyeing his brother, dancing with his boyfriend, deeply appreciating Molly’s trousers, bringing wolf appropriate snacks to Cal even if it means popping inside and getting some steak for him

Caleb

[ax_spellbinder]

After much indecision on my part, I've finally settled on Caleb's costume. He will be going as Rutger Hauer in Ladyhawke. Frumpkin will possibly be turned into a hawk for this for a short time.

Caleb will be wallflowering for most of the party. The only people he'll approach on his own will be Cal, Clint, and Molly. Anyone is welcome to approach him, though, and he will talk to them. He'll be drinking throughout the course of the evening and will get more sociable as he gets drunk. He'll possibly hang off his friends a lil. Eventually, he'll have had enough peopling and will leave with Cal.

I'd love for him to get to know more people, so I'd love threads with anyone who is interested in approaching him.

Re: Caleb

[ax_charm]

Vex and Trinket will come say hello! And ask if he and Frumpkin will swap costumes when the sun changes

Pam

[ax_wisdom]

Much to my surprise, Pam is going as a Disney princess. Flat nearly invisible sandals, and her skin and hair is still blue.

Betsy Braddock

[ax_psylocke]

Betsy will be there, with figurative bells on. The actual outfit she will have on is cowboy inspired, because while in America...

She's up for logs with anyone who wants them!
