HAPPY HALLOWEEN BITCHES 🎃

[resumed]

code

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.

[ anyway i guess this is where i describe how fucking funny this is that will's like this and nico's like this except the pants are distressed black skinny jeans and paired with black combat boots. yes the shirt is slightly cropped. yes it's sheer. someone did makeup for him to frame his nearly pitch-black eyes, and the bat wings actually seem to fit him again compared to when he was shrunken a few hours ago.

even his little claws are painted black, a few silver rings on his fingers and a necklace on display. this is all to say that he's just staring at this action figure, arms folded over his chest as he just looks.

he does not wave back. he just looks exasperated. ]

[stunwhistle]

[



the vader action figure's arm just stops, like, mid-wave. it is staring. or at least it seems to be (it's hard to tell with the helmet on), since its head is pointed in nico's direction and absolutely fixated.

and then, sounding like darth vader because of course it's one of the costumes with a voice changer:]

...what an inconvenient time to be tiny.

[becomemod]

[ willgrets ]

[stunwhistle]

[someone here is a solangelo anti...]

[floridas]

This is literally the worst time for you to be tiny, dude.

[stunwhistle]

No kidding. I had plans for tonight.

[what plans, will.]

Wish I knew how long this was gonna last.

[resumed]

[ he just lifts an eyebrow slowly. ]

There...truly is someone who is determined to make me like this holiday less and less, I see.

[stunwhistle]

It's gotta wear off eventually... right? Hopefully before the party's over?

[he sounds like he's pouting, which is funny given the voice changer. darth vader, pouting.]

[resumed]

[ very casually and mildly threatening: ]

For your sake, you better hope so. [ :)?

but he does approach and holds out a hand for will vader to climb into if he would like. terrible. ]

[stunwhistle]

[he climbs into the palm of nico's hand because of course he does.]

For my sake, huh?

[resumed]

[ he can hang out, but he can also put will on his shoulder. ]

Mmhm. [ "i'm not staying dressed like this forever." but he shakes his head and gives the tiny figure another look. ]

Is...this for the reason that I think it is? [ the vader look. ]

[stunwhistle]

[he will settle in quite easily on nico's shoulder.]

Well, I'm just hoping it won't last for too long. One curse was bad enough.

[...what curse, will. anyway. he chuckles.]

Yeah, it's probably for exactly the reason you think it is.

[(looks at notifs) ...also shoujo sparkles and bubbles start appearing behind him when he says this.]

[resumed]

[ the funniest thing in the world is he thinks will only means the shoujo sparkles and bubbles as a double curse. if he's tiny does that mean the sparkles and bubbles are also tiny? questions. nico's just glancing at him and up close he's even paler than usual. vampire shit.

also he somehow looks even more annoyed for a second. ]

Seriously, who did I piss off? [ he cannot! do anything! when will is like this! he sighs though and takes a seat in the chair will was originally sitting on. ]

Do me a favor and warn me before you shift back, at least. [ a joke. but then he kind of looks faintly embarrassed even as he finds himself laughing. ] You're terrible. You really want to put the helmet theory to the test, don't you?

[ "imagine darth vader removing his helmet over dinner and then staring longingly into your eyes over the table." ]

[stunwhistle]

I will definitely warn you if I can, but I don't actually know when this will end. Maybe I should move to your lap just in case?

[will can sit in nico's lap for once when he turns back. (this is probably also very funny to hear in darth vader's voice because of the voice changer.)]

That was the original plan, yeah. [he turns his head and - wait. now he spots the sparkles and bubbles.] ...seriously? Another one? That's three now!

[resumed]

[ there's a soft noise of agreement, and he does pick up tiny will vader to put in his hand again so he can set him in his lap. why the fuck not. it's easier to push will to the ground there if he has to. ]

I feel like that is a very convenient excuse, but I'll allow it because it's my party. [ how does that make sense??? he doesn't actually get far enough to put will there though because this is extremely funny to hear in darth vader's voice, but also: ]

Three? [ he's gonna kill off-schedule he swears. ] ...wait what's the third?

[stunwhistle]

[it does not make sense and will laughs a bit at that - only to stop when nico asks him that.

...

he pauses, then shrugs, then pulls his hemlet off to reveal a truly hideous mustache.]

Someone thought they were being really funny.

[resumed]

[








yeah he immediately slams the helmet back down. ]

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

[stunwhistle]

[OW, HIS HEAD.]

Hey, I didn't choose it!

[resumed]

[ HIS VIBES. ]

Oh my goooods. [ he's just. setting tiny, helmeted will on his thigh (enjoy the tight jeans, will) and burying his face in his hands. delicately. so he doesn't smear his eye makeup. ] Who. Why. I can't. No.

[ AHHHHHH. ]

The next time I take off your helmet I really, really hope it's gone.

[stunwhistle]

You and me both. I tried shaving it, and it didn't work!

[he's so mad. he kind of grumbles under his breath - ]

No way are you going to kiss me as long as this stupid thing is here.

[#priorities]

[resumed]

[ he's deadeyeing the whole way through this, although he mumbles back: ]

Definitely, definitely not. [ rip! ]

Okay so...are you saying this happened even before you became magical girl action figure? [ darth vader as a magical girl is a lot to contend with but here we are. ] Maybe I should be asking what you did to make someone mad.

[ it's deadpan, but will knows him enough to know he's teasing. ]

[squelching]

[




she pats him on the shoulder with the tip of her index finger, trying not to laugh. there, there.]

Someone's going to be in trouble.

[stunwhistle]

No kidding!

[he sounds almost like he's pouting, which is especially weird since his costume has the vader voice changer going on. pouty vader.]

[squelching]

Any guesses for who could've done it?

[who is the nico/will anti...]

[stunwhistle]

No idea. I didn't think there was anyone I'd made mad enough that they would want to block me from [...wait maybe he needs to adjust how he's going to say this] spending time with my boyfriend.

[there that's vague enough.]
