Paper Faces on Parade

[happysweets]

[ Okay, so, assuming everyone got a crossword and an invite on Tuesday, one would assume that pretty much everyone knows that Misa's planning something. A sign on the door of the music room will indicate as much, a nice big "KEEP OUT PLEASE ♥" to make sure everything's set up just right before the festivities start. The tables are set up just right for snacks and all, the stage is set, the room is even decorated with hand-made streamers and lots of bright ribbons from the art room! When Misa goes hard, she goes hard, apparently. The floor isn't exactly a dance floor, but it should be nice enough that people can dance if they want to, and though she had a really hard time pushing everything around to make the perfect amount of space, it looks like it's about as good as it's going to get.

The guests'll be happy to know there aren't any penalty snacks this time around; nothing set out on the table looks gross or horribly out of place like at Truth or Dare. Everything looks pretty cute, actually; between the desserts and the actual cocktails set out, she and Aqua kind of outdid themselves in terms of meal planning. As for the host herself, she'll obviously be running around too, making sure everything's going okay; one would think that between prepping the food and the party itself, she wouldn't have much time to get herself all dolled up, but a model always has to look her best! And Misa certainly isn't giving anything less than 110 percent, between her short black dress and her ma-- jesus Misa save some glitter for everyone else

In any case, the party is definitely intended to be a late-night affair! And all are welcome, so feel free to come in and dance the night away! Misa even has a bunch of masks in different colors made for people who didn't have time to make one themselves, so don't be shy to grab one and have fun! ]

[Stan appears to have taken the invitation to a masquarade as an excuse to be exactly as horrifying as he feels like being. He's just wearing his usual suit with it, since the color schemes go together and all. The only change is a neat red bow-tie in place of his usual one, plus a sharp black hat. He thought about a wig, but...well.

As far as his brand of costumery goes, it's actually pretty low-bar; he didn't have the time or materials for a proper Summerween outfit. Besides, it's a lot more fun scaring little kids!

He's still definitely going to creep up behind people though.]

Boo!

[cherryblooded]

[Cherryblod's reaction to someone creeping up behind him and startling him is an instinctual one: smack whoever it is with the nearest available body part, his tail.

...Smack them fairly hard with his tail. He'll apologize once he actually turns around.]

[goodforsomething]

Ow! Hahahaha, good one!

[Stan is, at least, aware of and at peace with the possible consequences of sneaking up on people.]

[cherryblooded]

[That's good. Cherryblod looks more concerned than mad.]

Are you alright?

[goodforsomething]

[Stan waves it off.]

Yeah, yeah. I didn't know you could hit like that with that thing!

[cherryblooded]

Tails are multipurpose. And really, there's no point having a body part and not learning to use it.

[goodforsomething]

That's handy. It'd be hard to get the jump on you!

How much damage can ya do with it?

[sleepingkogoro]

[You jerk, who startles people while they are eating.

Mouri almost chokes but manages to avoid it, instead turning around and glaring at Stan. Really, man?]

[goodforsomething]

[Stan, obviously. He laughs and slaps Mouri on the back.]

You shoulda seen the look on your face!

[sleepingkogoro]

The look of me almost choking to death?!

[Don't get dramatic again, Mouri, god damn it]

[goodforsomething]

Yeah! It was hilarious!

[sleepingkogoro]

[why you stan...

You know what, let him throw up his hands in exasperation and kind of end it there]

Whatever. Just don't do it again. The last thing the place needs is another adult like Eide-san.

[In the sense you don't act your age. Not to say you should be grumpy and all that, Stan, but old people don't tend to wear torture gore characters masks and ambush people around]

[goodforsomething]

Sigrun! She's great! You gotta love Sigrun! Besides, you gotta keep your reflexes sharp around here!

[Because anyone might try to kill you at any time! LAWL]

[pokexplorer]

[That...is definitely going to cause Colress to jump, especially when he sees that mask what the hell Stan.]

Ah! K-Klinklang, Gear Gri--!

[He nearly calls out a command for his Pokemon out of retaliation before he realizes what's going on. Oooh crap, better not actually almost kill an elderly person tonight.

Klinklang kind of stares in preparation for its move, wondering if it actually needs to attack the person in the creepy mask. But Colress waves it down.]

Mr. Pines, can you not? I nearly had Klinklang attack you for that!

[goodforsomething]

Hahahahahaha! Good, it'll keep ya sharp!

[pokexplorer]

While I agree, it wouldn't have been good for either of us if the attack actually went through...

I'd rather not be on trial for an accidental murder.

[goodforsomething]

That'd happen even if I was tryin' to kill you. You oughta teach that thing to pull its punches.

[pokexplorer]

I- I know that, but I'd rather not think about it.

[The last thing he wants to think about is legitimately getting jumped.]

However, in such a moment, I don't believe I would have any hesitation. Klinklang was actually ready to go.

[That makes him think, though.]

What would you have said if you actually got hurt just now?

[goodforsomething]

[Stan considers that, then shrugs.]

I might get mad at first, but I'dve had it comin'! Would've been more impressed if you hit me yourself.

[amygdalae]

Ah--

[Here's Bruce jerking a little, nearly dropping his plate but managing not to, then taking a moment to just make sure his heart isn't going to pop itself out from his chest.

That at least doesn't take too long, and quickly enough Bruce is doing his deep yoga breaths to get his calm back into place.]

[goodforsomething]

[Stan laughs and pats Bruce on the shoulder.]

Wooooah there, Doc, don't have a heart attack!

[amygdalae]

[Bruce takes a moment more to calm himself, and then he's looking over to Stan with a small frown.]

Sorry, I just--don't take surprises well.

[Understatement of the year.]

[goodforsomething]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Stan won't quite apologize, but he slips off the mask.]

You oughta see what I'd rig up on a real 'Ween.

[amygdalae]

I'm not sure if I'll be entirely prepared for that.

[The words are wry, but there's a smile on his face that softens the words. It's all cool Stan, don't worry.]

[goodforsomething]

Probably not! But what's the fun of Halloween without scarin' the pants off some children?

And Gravity Falls likes it so much, they do another one in July. Summerween.
