(setting) Halloween Party
| >Broken windows on the second floor, dusty windows on the first floor, fake grass somehow dried up and a paper sign nailed onto the door:
"CHIDLREN WILL BE SERVED ALCOHOL DO NOT BRING THEM IN"
"PS: Costumes drink for free"
>Agressively loud Dubstep came from the inside, the music vibrated accross the block
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
>Casa_Radio_Wire.gpx
>Just the same coordinates shared on the AD
| >A man walks up carrying a huge battery powered neon sign saying 'Halloween costume party - Children welcome' and proceeds to put the sign in front of the house and runs away giggling
| >A girl approaches the house, Long black cape, a mask covering half her face, clothes that wouldn't look out of place in some victorian museum... she was obviously dressed like a phantom thief
>She gives the venue a long look, then looks down at herself
"You know, I though I couldn't pull it off, but somehow I did, nicely done me"
>The young girl mumbles, adjusting the bundle of hair swaying behind her head as the wind blows.
>She approaches the house, and knocks on the door
| >The music lowers as the door bust opens, a sleep deprived blonde on a blood stained suit steps out rushing past the new guests towards the sign
"Why are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING??"
>He doesn't take off the sign, no he kicks it down completely
| >>709473
>The girl jumps up with a squeal as the person screaming a meme older than this city itself probably passes her by
"Jesus!"
>She watches as they kick down the sign, with a complex expression
"A-are you okay there?"
| >>709475
>The young looking host walks back running a hand across his hair, he looked even worse than the house
"Okay? No I'm fine, I'm glorious I'm sunshine on earth I'm..!!"
>And he calmed down just as fast as he lost it
"..Sorry, Neil Michaels nice to meet you and nice to see you here! Ghost of the opera?"
>He casually walked back inside keeping the door open
| >>709477
>The girl follows along, she bows after the man's introduction
"Yeah, huh, nice meeting you"
>She sweats a little, maybe it would of been better to stay at home... that guy was obviously weird.
"I'm Kimagure Shoko, you guys go first name first though huh? Kimagure is my last name"
| >>709479
"Oh like you guys got that reading from the right thing! right?"
>The inside bopped with color changing lights of green, red, orange and blue; A DJ booth with a pale bored DJ playing on her phone and a set up round bar on the middle of the room.
>The whole first floor was entirely cleared out, walls were taken down and patched up neatly for the extra space as one half made for dancing floor and the other for a more chill area, with couches and a long snack table.
| >What's that? An earthquake? At this hour? In this city? Localized entirely within this district in particular?
>Haha... no.
You really shouldn't have advertised booze for minors, Radio Wire.
The kids are OLDER and there's EVEN MORE OF THEM!
"HALLO WE ARE TWEENS!" >Screams a smol dressed like a bloody pirate!
"ATTTACKK!"
>Within moments, the door to the building is KICKED DOWN as an unironic horde of fur and polyester costumes comes STREAMING IN, with no end in sight.
| >>709491
"Yeah uh, it-"
>>709500
"HOLY FUCK"
>Shoko rushes out of the way of the horde, gasping as it washes past into the building
| >>709465
> Someone dressed as a Planetary Scout walks in, tossing a cigarette. Her outfit does look just like the old anime complete with the Mercury Blue trim. She makes a beeline to the bar, looking around at what everyone else might be wearing. Her height might have made someone suspect about her true age, given how short she looked...
"Uhh... hey. Can I get a big beer?? Pretty please? Do you like my costume?"
> She gives a twirl with the end of her sentence, showing off
| >Neil turned to the avalanche of kids that just arrived, so many of them, so little control and so little patience left on this man who just twitched
"Hahaha.. ha.. HAHA-"
>Neil passed out, right on the dance floor, making the DJ burst out in laughter
| >>709502
>The bartender turned and nodded to the lady in blue, his haircut was stylish, his chin clean shaven and his eyes were behind a pair of bold sunglasses as his gaze was off by miles, staring most likely at the wall behind you
"I'll bet it's as good as your voice"
>He then pulled two glasses, a big one and a massive one, sort of waiting for you to choose one
| >>709512
“Aww... say things like that more and I might even go home with you... call me Sailor Mercury for now.”
> Her slightly husky voice cooed as she picked up the massive beer and took a long sip. She clearly was someone who knew a thing or two about drinking, given how effortlessly she picked the glass up
“What’s up with all this kiddie, anyway? You look like you one a thing or two”
| >>709513
"Every year.."
>He put down the big beer, as in below the counter
"Boss always complains about them and they always show up either way, they never bother me so I never really cared"
>His hands never seemed to stand idle, he'd either be cleaning a cup or touch each bottle in a certain order
| >>709521
> ”Mercury” continues to state at them, unsure of what to think. She readjusts her tiara and bust before going back to focusing on her drink
“Uh.......huh.... that’s strange then. I mean, kids need to have fun too. Halloween is for little ones more than use, right?”
> she takes another drink from her massive beer, trying to pretend there aren’t so many little ones around
| >A couple arrives at the scene. There's a man dressed in a black suit, clean shaven with his hair slicked back. A women dressed in a bright red dress, lots of make-up on her face and a pair of fake horn on her head. There's also a dog following them, a husky, although his fur was either painted or coated black, and there are fake chains tied around him. Although these don't seem to be effecting its movement, as it was running around in circles around the couple happily.
| >The couple observes the horde of children inside the establishment.
"Huh, curious, there wasn't this much kids last year."
>The man remarks, grimacing at the sight.
"Didn't Neil mentions something about no children?"
>The women replies.
"Well, it's more like an invitation now that I think about it. He said he will give alcohols to all the kids."
| >The man chuckles. He put his arm around the women's shoulder and both go inside, while the husky follows with an enthusiastic 'woof'. The man laughs once again, this time even louder, when he find Neil passed out on the floor.
"Here he is."
"Who?"
"Neil, he probably would have been in denial when these little guys arrived."
| >The women kneels down toward the unconcious Neil and waves her hand above his head.
"Hello? Are you okay?"
>The dog runs around the unconcious Neil for a bit before jumping on the body and starts licking his face. Although from the one getting licked's perspective, it might have looked more like he was about to get murdered by a hellhound, seeing as he has a some 50 pounds dog on top of him. The pure black fur and the chains probably didn't help make it less terrifying.
| >>709531
>The tender' shrugged, he did seem pretty unbothered
"Different mindsets, boss says kids ruin 'true' fun; I say if I had children I would bring them with me instead of hiring a sitter"
>He glanced at Mercury again, keeping his usual poker face
"any of them yours?"
| >>709585
>It took a few laps before Neil showed some sign of life, trying to slap the dogs face away and, once he noticed what kind of dog it was, squeaked like a toy while crawling back
"heeeeeeeeeey there terrifying fella!"
>The fear was too damn real
| >Shoko is still in shock at the arrival of the children, but with a few slaps on her face and a sigh she managed to calm down, she made her way to the bar
| >>709606
>The man laughs, he might have been rolling on the floor laughing but his companion holds him.
"Well, Fenrir sures like you, Neil."
>The man says, looking down to you with a toothy grin. He clicks his tongue.
"Fenrir, you can stop licking the man now, come on."
| >>709618
>The tender placed a hand at the counter in front of Shoko before turning to her direction, then muttered
"shit wait-"
>And put up a small stand with a list of drinks and prices.
D R I N K S (Costume = Free!)
- - - - -
>J.F.K : 400z
>Lincoln : 360z
>Love potion: 250z
>Fake neon: 250z
>A tip jar humbly stood next to the sign
"Costume, right?"
| >>709644
"I said sinners night!"
>Neil struggled to get himself back up, falling over twice
"And you bring fucking cancerberus I swear-!"
>his condition was.. Questionable at best, but once stood he took a deep breath, getting his drek together
| >>709656
"Fenrir, actually, like the wolf from the Norse myths."
>The girls speaks up.
"Nerdy as always, Alix. Anyways, Alix, meet Neil Micheals. Neil, meet Alix."
"Hello! Nice to actually meet you in person."
>The women replies, as she reaches her hand out to help him, and perhaps a handshake.
| >>709655
"Yeah, Its a costume"
>Shoko says, looking down at her outfit
"Huh, you got anything that doesn't have alcohol in it?"
| >>709674
"Nice to meet my favorite item, which one of you was the girl?"
>He laughed at his own comment before putting both hands on his knees, failing to handshake as he took another pause to breath
"OK sorry sorry-It's the meds, I'm glad to see you guys like for real"
>He stood back up straight and extended his hand to handshake properly
"Not Canadians, I learned that now"
| >>709677
>The quiet man nodded again before tapping the sign on both 'Love potion' and 'Fake neon'
"These two can be made without any, Love potion is sweet and Fake Neon is sour, I can recommend you both"
| >>709594
"Me?? Having children? Hell no! Do you think that a girl drinking a beer like this would be a mom?"
> She drinks some more and turns around, scratching an undercut portion of her head and looking around before turning back around to the bar
"Actually... maybe don't answer that question. My partner has a kid. That's enough babies in my life for me"
| >>709721
"Oh, don't worry, everybody can get hangover sometimes, I get it. Red's hungover all the time."
>Alix says, giggling as she gently shakes your hand. Her hand was soft and warm.
"Alright, alright. First off, you know I don't get drunk that much."
>Red speaks up.
"Second off, I'm Red, but you know that. Besides, we've already met before, I attended your party last year."
| >>709740
"Moms can be some of the heaviest drinkers, actually"
>He answered that anyway
"Takes guts to date someone with kids too, if I were charging tonight next one would be on me"
>He kept checking over each bottle with one hand as he spoke, the other ready to take orders or empty glasses
| >A man arrives in a banana costume, he's also carrying a bucket of candy for the children (?)
| >>709924
"I think I do, you were wearing the same hero thingy Costume you wore everywhere right? I think you were also girlless back then so you got some real upgrades!"
>He slapped Red's upper arm cheerfully, then clasped both hands together
"Now, only an idiot wouldn't get drunk at a party with free drinks and I know for a fact that nerds are really smart, so come on guys!"
| >>709969
"Ha, costume."
>Alix punches Red jokingly in his side. Then take his hand to follow Neil to the bar.
| >>709984
"Now this is the main attraction, the drinks, the elixir of life and everything pure, know what's keeping me from collapsing right now?"
"The people around you"
>Added the Bartender without even turning once the group arrived to the bar
| >>709928
> Dusty’s in the middle of a sip as she hears the comment on being someone with a child and just about chokes on her beer. She slams the mug down and coughs hard, trying to regain her breath and composure
“UUHHhhhhhyeahg. Err... yeah I meant like... work.. partner. He’s umm... married to someone else. Oh shit, sorry about the mess...”
> She looks around and noticed that she did spill some on the bartop. She gives a shy smile and silently thanks her setting spray
| >>709723
>Shoko thinks for a few seconds, placing a finger on her chin.
"I'll take the uh, Fake neon, if you would"
>She nods to herself as she makes her choice
"Is Halloween always such a big deal here? Can't say it was celebrated a lot back in To- uh, home"
>She asks, looking around as she does... She hadnt seen this many people in costumes ever since she once went to akihabara on an errand.
| >>710317
"Well, a little bit of correction Neil. No offense to you at all, but you've already collapsed."
>Alix says, before turning to see the bartender.
"Hello! I'm Alix, nice to meet you. Is there any drink you would like to recommend?"
>Meanwhile, Red looks around before he turning back to Neil.
"Lots of kids around here tonight, eh? Didn't realise you are a kid person, promising to give them free drinks and everything."
| >>710354
"Don't mind it, and not judging"
>He spit out his answer short and fast just like a burst of beer onto the counter, he was about to clean it when the sudden increase of clients held his attention
"fuck er.. Refill?"
>He suggests before working on the other costumers, probably still keeping an ear out for any orders
| >>710394
>The man nods and works as fast as a performer as he moves bottles and ingredients around making the drink in what looks like a speed record
"Less of a deal each year, a real shame since Halloween means business and business means money"
>He set down the drink in front of her, filled to the brim
>'Fake Neon'
>Sour, exotic, black and blue.
| >>710766
"I'd guess that is a problem, yeah"
>The girl takes up the fake neon, examining it, before taking a sip
>She coughs slightly after the liquid makes contact with her tongue, tears in her eyes. She really shouldn't of ordered the sour one just to look more mature.
>She still drinks it though, trying her best to enjoy the taste
| >>710760
"Uhh.... just give me something strong. You can pick... i guess"
> She adjusts her blouse, feeling her cheeks burning intensely from the sheer embarrassment of having done that. She takes the pause to look over at the other people around, trying to see if she recognizes anyone, or if they recognize her
| >>710396
"Hell you'd collapse too if you saw a bunch of little shits storming into your party. I am *not* a kids' person OK? What kind of person lets their kids out unsupervised to a party with alcohol?? Monsters I tell you that!"
>Neil got so much on edge from that comment alone, his rambling was sudden and intense.
"Hello there"
>The bartender replied to Alix while working on a drink, not even turning a little
"You sound lightweight, so probably a Love Potion"
| >>711060
"Yeah, that could be pretty traumatising. But I would think that's somewhat expected when you... you know, 'threaten' to feed children
alcohols. That kind of backfired, didn't it."
>Red replies, allowing himself to be a bit surprised by Neil's sudden tensity.
"Oh, that's a bit rude... but you're right."
>Alix says, before turning her attention to her dog, who was a little spooked by all the drunk children running around the premise.
| >>710768
>The tender' almost speak up as he heard shoko coughing but once again he put work before chat and just placed a napkin by her, least he could do.
>>710807
"A charged J.F.K on the way"
>He finished with a click of the tongue, picking up bottles from behind him to start on mixing, a single drop of sweat as he kept up with everyone but nonetheless finished the drink in mint condition
>'J.F.K'
>Strong, sweet & sour, white with a hint of red.
| >>711077
"Look If I was good at planning I'd be in Neo SF right now, drinking Piña Colada from a models' chest, I'm stuck on this hell because backfiring is all my plans do"
>He tapped desperately on the bar's counter trying to get the serious man attention
"I really underestimated how crappy their parents could be to let them attend this party on the first place. If I'm lucky they'll get jell-o shots from the snacks table and teach their parents a lesson about supervision"
| >>711077
>The bartender clutched the last serve on the previous ordered drink before working on Alix's, now turning to the group but showing no response to Neil's tapping
>In the blink of an eye, or more like five blinks, her drink is served
>'Love Potion'
>Soft, sugary, pink & Girly
| >>711267
"That's a... peculiar dream you have, but I won't judge."
>Red manages.
"Anyways, yeah, I know how irresponsible some people here can be."
"Speaking for yourself there, honey?"
>Alix teases, petting Fenrir to try and comfort him.
"Wow, that hurts."
>>711268
>Alix turns to take the drink, laughing. She catches the drink and looks at the glass.
"Oh my god, that's so cute! Thank you!"
| >>711148
>The girl grabs the napkin and smiles a little
"Sorry, its good, just uh. Wasn't expecting that much of a punch"
>She says
|
| >>711307
>The bartender nodded to her, it's hard to tell if as a thank your or as an affirmation but at least he responded.
>Then Neil bursted
"Do I have to tap with a hammer for you to hear? Get me the usual wade, stop playing dumb"
>'Wade' takes a pause from mixing before getting back to it, Wade is not amused.
| >>711318
>The bartender turned to her while shaking up a new drink for the host, apparently.
>Dedication and professionalism expressed on his poker face as he spoke.
"I can change it, drinks are free after all"
| >>711721
>Alix becomes a bit more quiet after the nod as she was unsure of what it means. She takes a drink from her glass and looks around to some other visitors.
"Um, I'll have a... Lincoln? Mind telling me what that is?"
>Red tries to order as he browses the menu.
| >A small, tank shaped cardboard box slowly makes it's way into the party room, The turent of the tank slowly scans the room, before a hatch opens, revealing the head of busty masked lady with silver hair
"... I hope this is the right place..."
| >>711727
"Lincoln.."
>The serving 'tender takes an extra few seconds to remember what kind of drink that was
"It's tall, it's strong and the taste will remain on your mouth once you're done with it. Highly recommended if you have a good tolerance"
>With that he slapped on the counter as if he had just forgot something and continued with a drink he already started
| >>711920
>The place was surrounded by loud music, divided in two by a small bar at the center as one side looked like a neatly set dance floor and the other a lounge area with snacks and couches
>For some reason there were kids all over the place, it seemed like the only group of people old enough to vote were all at the round bar
| >>712098
"Well, that sounds good, I'll have one, thank you."
>Red replies to the bartender before turning to his companion, who is trying to strike a conversation with someone — the girl in a black cape, dressed up as phantom thief.
>>711318
"Hey, nice costume. Retro-style, I like it. What's your name?"
| >>712103
>The tender paused on the first drink he was making to blend up a 'Lincoln' right on the spot, in a matter of seconds the drink was made and placed down by Red's side carefully to not interrupt them, then the host finally had his own drink delivered
| >>712103
>The girl turns to face Red, and she smiles wryly
"Thanks, I gave it my best shot"
>She scratches the back of her head, clearly embarassed
| >>712344
>Red turns to the bartender and gives him a smile.
"Hey, thanks."
>He then take a sip before turning back to the girl.
>>712435
"So, I'm Red, and this girl overhere is Alix."
>He says, putting his arm around his companion, who waves at you.
"Hi! Nice to meet you."
"...and this little pup-"
>Red continues, letting the girl go and putting his arm around a large husky with a pure black fur and chains around his body.
"Is Fenrir."
| >>712908
>The girl nods, and bows a little
"I'm Kimagure, its a pleasure"
>She looks at the Husky
"He's uh... Quite large isn't he, nice dog though"
>Fenrir.. uh, quite the ferocious name for a dog, Shoko thought
| >>713139
"Thank you, and it's a pleasure as well."
>Red replies. He pets the dog on his lap.
"Want to pet him? He loves getting pet."
>Alix joins in, encouraging Kimagure to pet Fenrir.
"Don't worry, he doesn't bite."

| >When the sun finally set and the neon lights took care of Glitch City's illumination an abandoned house arose in colorful lighting as the host of said house screamed and cackled in both joy and agony
>The old place looked worse than last year, the lack of care was obvious but it also conveniently blended with the Halloween aesthetic.
