The Coordinates lead to the front entrance of a large party hall decorated in various hues of reds and blacks, with a gentle reminder at the entrance that anyone who steps out of line during the the event can easily be zapped back home and banned from the next party.
Depending on the time of arrival it is;
1.) Relaxed! Breakfast is being set out by Crocker and several Strider time clones, with others still setting up. Leijon greets guests any guests at the door, still putting up the finishing decorations.
Soleil is setting up her basket table, arranged by chocolates heavy/fruit heavy/meat heavy.
2.) Party had officially begun! Banquet tables are switching over to lunch, and various activities have been made available;
MAKIDO'S CARNIVAL GAMES
A section of the hall has been reserved for various carnival stalls, all seemingly managed by one sprite.
Several stuffed animals of various sizes are lined up for winning.
The game types available are; Classic ring toss, axe throw, dunking booth and skeeball.
CROCKER'S BAKEOFF
Bake and decorate cookies or cupcakes for someone special!
It's not exactly a competition, she just thinks bombastic framing is fun.
HAR..LLIE'S CARD COUNTER?
.. Did Harley always look like that?
Well... it's about what it says on the tin! An elaborate handmade card station.
Harllie doesn't seem particularly talkative outside of her craft.
3.) Comfortably under way! Dinner is out, as well drinks. All glittery and pink/red or dark and black/grey! Feferi is rather pleased with them.
Dinner is being served, as well as movies beginning within the designated quiet section of the venue.
The Coordinates lead to the front entrance of a large and very colorfully decorated venue, with a gentle reminder at the entrance that anyone who steps out of line during the the event can easily be zapped back home and banned from the next party.
Depending on the time of arrival it is;
1.) Relaxed. Last minute touchups on costumes and decorations from the hosts and those who volunteered to set things up. Breakfast is freely available to early attendees.
Crocker and Kyrope are the most social so early, offering greetings to those who make themselves known. Respectively they are Hercule Porio.t and Lieutenant Columb.o , and neither are particularly shy about impressions or going on about their choice of costume.
2.) Party officially started! Although banquet tables are switched from breakfast to lunch, those who missed out are free to request breakfast foods.
Various activities are now available.
LEIJON'S HAUNTED MAZE
A corridor of the party hall has been sectioned off! In front of the curtain stands a stern appearing blueblood and several neon badges hung by the wall;
Blue for observation! You will be allowed to observe the decorations and walk through without disturbance.
Yellow for contactless! You'll be engaged with, but as the name suggests no physical contact will be made.
Green for standard! You'll be engaged with, shaken around startled a bit, pretty much the average interactive haunted house experience.
Red for survival! For those who like a little adrenaline. Unlike the previous two, staffed mostly by various Narut.o Daves ( @isoproatjackingoff ) , this is a joint effort by Battle Beas.t Leijon and her dearest costumeless moirail. Traps galore and aggressive automatons all make up a large obstacle course! There will be a leaderboard for participant times, and a decorative medal for the one with the best time.
PUMPKINS AND PIÑATAS WITH NITRAM
Nitram, dressed as Tai (Digimon) has an array of pumpkins to carve! Due to the presence of knives, he (and several of the other hosts) are armed with rerouters to zap any bad actors back to the last location they transportalized from. He's a little nervous, but as there are several candy-filled piñatas to strike he hopes the rowdy types will be satiated.
There are a few kinds; A generic pumpkin, Lord English, Autumn leaf. Generally even spread between the three, but there was clearly an effort to sort by colors that match the piñata itself.
LALONDE GAME CENTER
The smokestac.k Lalondes offer a seat at their table. Card games, board games and video games are all available. Loosely on theme, though the view it offers of the rest of the party makes it a good spot to observe costumes from.
SOLEIL'S COSTUME CONTEST
Princess Guinever.e, or Soleil, is hosting a costume contest! Signup sheets will be available around the venue ( reply beneath this post with your muse, and a description of their costume / a link to a sketch )
The following categories will be judged; Coolest, Cutest, Most Elaborate and Most likely to have been bought from Spirit Halloween.
The winners will receive decorative trophies tailored towards their category ( cutesy for cutest, cool for coolest, elaborate for elaborate, and plastic for the last. )
3.) Comfortably under way. Dinner has been set out and the bar has opened after the haunted hive wraps up. The patio will open up for movies, with no strict theme adherence. It's mostly a winding down activity.
Winners for the various contents are soon to be announced, with the prizes distributed.
And what of the hosts?
Leijon is eager to get opinions from those who participated in her haunted hive, especially those who got to go up against her various traps.
Soleil is ... gone?
It would seem so! Eagled eye attendees would catch what appears to have been a tense conversation between himself and @sefoni before he made his exit.
Probably nothing, the winners will be announced all the same — does it really matter who does it?
The Coordinates lead to the front entrance of a large and very colorfully decorated venue, depending on the time of arrival it is;
1. Pretty calm, with the many of the hosts ( @hollyhocka ) still putting finish touches on a few things and grabbing something to eat. Music hasn't quite started yet, plenty of breakfast staples both Alternian and Earth like are spread out on large rows of banquet tables.
There are a lot of Daves ( @isoproatjackingoff ) around, assisting Jane with the catering.
2. Lively! Music is in full swing, provided by DJs Hal and Dirk.
Lunch is underway by this point, though those who are upset they missed the breakfast rush need not fret– there are still plenty of leftovers that can be brought back out upon request.
The games are fully set up, with Jade and Rose overseeing– more like getting involved and being quite competitive about it, with a slight friendly reminder that the controllers and console were lended for this party and so they should be handled with care.
There are suddenly bouncers at the front of the venue! It's more just Nepeta feeling silly and picking out the more nervous looking attendees to lightly hassle. Equius will apologize and wish those held up a good time.
The real security is Jade and Roxy! If you step out of line, pretty much all of the hosts are armed with Rerouters— think Roxy's appearifer handgun, but instead of teleporting an object to a location, it returns an object to the last place they teleported from. If you're hit by that, you're sent back to the transportlizer you came from and the coordinates will not work if you input them again.
3. Comfortably under way. The roof will soon become accessible to those who've brought fireworks, Eridan and Jake have brought plenty of their own but the more the merrier!
Earplugs will be provided, safety first!
The quiet movie section of the venue, which is a large patio set up with its own table of snacks and foods, will be given a heads up before the fireworks to give those who want to come up to the roof to watch time as well as let them wrap up the movie being watched. Captor ( @two2day ) and Tavros will be overseeing this space.
The bar is managed by Feferi and June, the menus are very colorful and so are the drinks! Not everything is over the top, they've got the options you'd expect, Feferi is just excited to show the eye-catching ones off.
It opens just a little while after breakfast starts with a more brunch themed menu, and then switches at the day goes on— though, just like with the food itself, you can still request things after the fact.
And what of Sol? Well she'll either be drinking something or hovering around to make sure things are going smoothly. 7una ( @ocnkng ) is around, trying to get her to relax, but she ain't really paying the guy any mind.
Making herself too busy to actually enjoy her own party, sad!
Having a great time! More people should hold tournaments, they're a great way to spend excess energy!
His weapon is a metallic bō staff, though he only uses it if the individual he's up against is also armed.
Throughout the tournament he keeps his psionic use limited to things such as telekinesis and sensing the space around him as he's not brought his cane into the arena– and for most of it, he sticks true to that!
He was simply far too lured by the siren song of a beam struggle, and attempted to use 🤏 just a smidge to fire back
(Ft. @coralcalypso )
Unfortunately his output has a hair-trigger and he wound up decimating half the arena! Whoopsie!
He's so embarrassed about it he just drops out after, the float away of shame..
He did his part in helping clear the debris so the drones could work faster, and also gave his apologies for those caught near the blast zone!
Then, well
Turning off giant eye lasers is harder than you'd think! He'll be fine he's just a little bloody and overheating, he'll grab a bunch of napkins and some cool treats and Get Outta there for a while
(ft. @coralcalypso )
He'll go to the glub later, at least for a bit... hoping to hang out normal style in the wake of his blunder, and instead getting a flirtations jumpscare
Fortunately Makara chills with him after, saving him from the horrors of lingering awkwardness! Hooray!
