Owen really had felt good about the decision at the time. Sure, he'd never had a problem with his normally jet black hair, but his choice of costume had called for green hair and, as a man that had never dyed his hair before, he figured why not try something new for once. Admittedly, he did tend to stick to routine more often than not. But now as he stood there by the bar sipping from his drink, he let out a soft sigh as his other hand raked through his hair self-consciously. "Ever do something on a whim then not be sure if it was actually a good decision?" he mused aloud to the person next to him with a small laugh, trying to ease his mind.

"Okay, I'm officially declaring that the most stressful minute of my night," she laughed to herself, taking a seat at one of the tables. "Trying to pin a tail on a werewolf while blindfolded and spinning definitely qualifies as an extreme sport. Have you played yet? I thought I was aiming for the tail, but I'm pretty sure I ended up giving the poor guy working the game an unwanted piercing."

[stevie-evans]

Stevie had to hand it to whoever organized the event; there really was a little something for everyone. Games, food, drinks, and even a haunted walkthrough? His foot hesitated mid-step as he spotted the entrance, curiosity sparking immediately. Interesting, he mused, watching a few people disappear inside with excited laughter. Tilting his head, he nodded to himself before glancing at the person beside him with a friendly smile. “Thinking about checking it out,” he said. “You ever done one of these walkthroughs before? Can’t tell if it’s meant to be in good fun or actually scary.”

Okay, so the ski suit might have been a slight tactical error.

It had been an investment a few years back when he'd been working on a truly elaborate Luke Skywalker Red Five costume for San Diego Comic-Con that ultimately never saw the light of day -- tragedy -- and he'd been proud to pull it back out for his Ezra costume. Bonus points: it kept him warm enough that he didn't need an extra coat, and therefore didn't have one more thing to keep up with throughout the night.

Downside: the ski suit plus the fleece-lined vest were a little bit of overkill inside the Town Hall with decent central heating and most of the town milling around.

He'd unfastened the neckline and unzipped just enough that he could breathe again, silently glad he'd opted for the white tank undershirt, but further action was necessary to keep from overheating -- and that was his excuse for the cold beer he kept rolling between his hands. "For the record, I'm not allowed more than two of these, tops," he sighed, grimacing slightly. "The rest of the town doesn't need the reminder of how much of a lightweight one of their actual bar owners is."

[nick-duval]

Nick crossed his arms over his chest, bemused, and let his eyes wander idly across the set up of various games and activities. He'd skipped the last town hall hosted Halloween bash a couple of years ago, a combination of being overfocused on work getting the firm back on its feet and sheer laziness at coming up with a costume, but he'd managed to make it to last year's party at the fire house. He'd mostly been focused on the food everyone brought and the company though, so all this? He hadn't seen this many honest-to-god drinking games set up since college, and that was saying something.

"Good god, where do you even start?" he mused aloud, eyebrows raised as he took in eyeball beer pong and scary movie trivia. "Decisions, decisions..."

"They did the mash, they did the monster mash," Tina sung along to the song currently being played by the band on stage. "It was a graveyard smash!" She chuckled lightly to herself, shaking her head as she happened to glance at the person nearby who had clearly heard her. "Sorry, this song is so fun and catchy, can't help but sing along, right?"

[jasminexsuttons]

Jasmine leaned back against the makeshift bar, the smell of cinnamon cocktails and roasted pumpkin drifting through the air. The Town Hall barely looked like itself — fog spilling in from the haunted walkthrough, strings of lights cutting through the haze, laughter from the game room echoing over songs playing lightly in the background. It felt like one of those rare Ashford nights when everyone put their worries aside to just live.

Her armor shifted slightly and the shield that was slung over her back clanged softly against the counter as she crossed one leg over the other, eyes scanning the crowd with a warm, curious smile. “You’ve got to hand it to them,” she mused, half to herself, half to whoever was near enough to hear. “They really went all out this year. Either that or I’ve had one too many pumpkin-spiced jello shots and glasses of apple cider," she mused with a gentle laugh before taking another sip from her drink.
