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?
