hh_mirror((Okay, the party will be divided into two parts, one taking place before midnight, and one after the Halloween spell is starting to work. This is the first part, obviously. The other will be posted immediately afterwards but takes place roughly five hours later or so, in game time. Remember, this post is for partying only, and no people-turning-into-their-costumes crack!))
ASK NOT FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, IT TOLLS FOR THEE
Jack watched the words that were magically carved above the door to the Great Hall, in plain view of everyone entering it, and he smiled secretively. Everything was set. Tonight was going to be interesting. Who would have known magic could prove to be so useful? He made a mental note to investigate this even more for next year. Now that Sally was here, he'd be able to discuss it with her at great length. She always had such lovely ideas.
Since Jack was not exactly a beginner in the scaring people business he had carefully checked out the atmosphere of Hogwarts and gotten a distinct impression of what was considered frightening here. Outside the Great Hall the lights were out and shadows lurked in the corners. At irregular intervals (but always when one was least expecting it) the mad cackle of a deranged evil clown echoed through the Entrance Hall. Small cats black as midnight stroke around the walls, not speaking to anyone but constantly smiling evilly at anyone passing them, showing gleaming, pointed teeth. Also, because Jack never had it in him to resist the absolute classics, bats were hanging upside-down near the ceiling.
Inside the Great Hall, it was less dark and spooky, but still obviously Halloween. Cool white mist was trickling along the floor. Jack-o’-lanterns hovered in the air around an area cleared for dancing. Along one wall stood a large table with various Halloween treats: pumpkin pie, candy corn, toffee apples, hot cider, mini-cakes and a large bowl of punch.
The Halloween party could begin.

'You want to try again with the chat-up line, Brice?' she asks casually, snapping her fan (http://www.mercadventures.com/mar31-03processed/Red-Fan.jpg) open and surveying the damage.
They don't exactly match, but the cane and the vampire outfit and the hair? Mel can handle that. Very, very well.

Thinking that was not at all going to get him in trouble later.no subject
Date: 2006-10-31 07:48 pm (UTC)'Shall we skip the chatting up and go straight into the party?' she suggests.
Walking past him, she whispers 'And maybe you will, if you play your cards right.'
Mel? Clueless.no subject
Date: 2006-10-31 09:14 pm (UTC)Once they'd entered the Great Hall, he looked around. "Eh. Not bad. You want some punch or something?"
no subject
Date: 2006-10-31 09:17 pm (UTC)'Go on, then,' she says, holding on for dear life. 'Er. I may have to come with you.'
no subject
Date: 2006-10-31 09:37 pm (UTC)He quirked an eyebrow at the punch. Huh. This Jack guy really went all the way... Oh well, it went fine with his costume, anyway. He took a cup and filled it, and then handed it to Mel before pouring one for himself. After having sipped it he nodded, approvingly.
"This might just turn out to be a nice party, after all," he said and grinned at Mel. "So, whatcha wanna do? Can you dance in those heels?"
