HAPPY HALLOWEEN BITCHES 🎃
Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion...though you may have once known it as the Crimson Phoenix dorm. As you approach, you may find that the area is hardly recognizable. There are several tables set up outside hosting all sorts of activities, and at the front and center is a small, cheerfully crackling bonfire. Scattered around the outside are several fake tombstones with equally fake inscriptions painted on them and lit by soft glowing lights with various skeletons posed around the graveyard. In the front on the way to the main door is a twelve-foot skeleton dressed as a witch, and from here you can see three inflatable pumpkins on the roof. Approaching the dorm itself, you'll find that the outside has been decked out in lights and decor, and the inside is just as elaborate and extra. Terrible idea to give teenagers unlimited money and time on their hands, huh?
As you enter through the lobby, you'll find that you may be guided to enter a haunted maze. Adventurers beware...
...but for those of you who are more interested in the festivities upstairs, residents of Phoenix dorm will happily shuttle you up to the second floor in an elevator decked out with floating candles. Upon reaching this floor, you'll be greeted with the lounge. There are plenty of couches with red cushions and blankets for maximum comfort, and the entire floor is equally decorated. Various horror movies play on mute from the TV mounted against the wall, and music seems to reverberate throughout the dorm everywhere you go. Loud enough to enjoy, but not loud enough to disrupt conversation. Hanging from the ceiling there also appears to be a large pinata in the shape of the moon, a large wooden stick leaning against the wall with a bandana draped over the top...batter up!
The four bedrooms appear to be blocked off with caution tape, but the two bathrooms and the kitchen are open to everyone. And while there's a third floor...there's nothing of interest up there other than space and more decor to admire as you mingle.
The party's just getting started. Have fun and get spooky.

they're well on their way to finishing this before many people arrive. ]
no subject
Wow, that's some real craftsmanship... you're not a collector too, are you?
[ small smile. ]
no subject
I'm not, but it's something to do. I've never been to a party like this.
[ and, as jolyne knows, they're feeling pretty self-conscious this week. ]
no subject
There's a first time for everything, isn't there? And everyone's having a good time. You deserve one too, even if this week is hard.
[ picking up a tool and starting in on a smaller pumpkin! ]
You look really lovely tonight, and I'd never just say that to make you feel better, alright?
no subject
[ weekly effect aside, phoenix always loved the atmosphere of a good party. this one being a different style than their usual doesn't change that. ]
Are you sure about that? [ some of them probably would say things just to make them feel better. ] It's all thanks to you.

Are you dressed up like a pretty bride for me?
[ They will settle near them to watch better. ]
no subject
Not like any bride I've seen before. Is that what they picked?
no subject
[ Looking Bird over. ] They may have picked it because it is one of your colors.
no subject
I may have to talk to her later. I'm not a bride.
[ please, jolyne, their pride. they're supposed to be cool. ]
But I'll let it slide for now.
no subject
I do think you're lovely like this, but if you prefer to be the groom that could also be arranged. [ Keeping their tone light. ]
How are you feeling, my pretty bird?
no subject
even his little claws are painted black, a few silver rings on his fingers and a necklace on display.
but he's watching them work. ]
This is gonna look really cool when it's done.
no subject
Here's hoping. I'm not used to working with such a small blade.
no subject
I doubt the size you're used to would really work, but I've never actually tried it. [ there's a pause. ] Lillium and I bought a few knives a couple of weeks back when I wanted to do this. There might be something more suitable.
no subject
[ ... ]
It just feels awkward.
no subject
It's an adjustment. I can work with daggers in a pinch, but I'm a lot better with a shortsword. It's about the grip, I think.
no subject
[ nodding. ]
Each one requires different styles for the different uses they have. [ ... ] Even my partner would handle something like this better than I would. He's to shorter blades, if not quite a dagger.
