[005 | VIDEO] jump scare, halloween party, no wizards allowed

[spah]

[Live video starts with an empty shot of Engineer's low-lit workshop. Then, suddenly...!!!!!!!!!!]

Boo.



[Oh shit, Engineer jumps in front of the screen and shoots his arms out in front of the camera! He's also a zombie! What's left of his skin is sickly green, there's blood running down his mouth, and his chest is all bones! Watch out!!!!

... Or don't, because then he suddenly laughs. His hands retract, and he steps back as casual as ever.]

Don't worry, it's all holograms. Them chroma-powered mirrors are somethin', ain't they? You ain't the only one now, Spy.

[That's a inside burn joke, don't worry about it. He pats his "skinless" (not really) chest.]

Felt like gettin' into the Halloween spirit. Or... Geistnacht spirit, I reckon.

Speakin' of - me and my pal Spy are throwing somethin' of a Halloween get-together down at my workshop on Level 3 next week. Low-key sorta thing. We'll have candy, costumes, pumpkins, music, dancin', probably games... and definitely alcohol. Spy makes his own wine, so y'might get a try if he's in the mood.

[Engie laughs.]

Anyhow. If y'all are interested, gimme a holler.

[Attached is the address to Engineer's workshop on Level 3, as well as a date and time for the party we'll post a log soon whatever it's fine.]

By the way, uh. If y'all happen to run into a wizard that mentions owin' money or the mafia, yakuza, or Russian mob... kindly don't invite him. Or give him money. Or tell him about us.

Hell, maybe be suspicious of most wizards 'til after the 31st.

[Her video isn't on but he'll definitely hear a hum of approval.]

That would be nice. You are far too handsome a man to be wearing something that unfortunate.

[Ah-hem.]

Now, what is this about Halloween and costumes?

[spah]

Well... "unfortunate" is sort've the thing.

Halloween's been a lot of things in a lot of different parts 'a the world over time... but the general gist of it now is to dress up in "scary" outfits and get candy. The idea revolves around a lotta "spooky" things... but it's all in good fun.

You don't necessarily gotta be scary, though. Half the fun's just dressing up and gettin' sweets.

[searchingforlove]

I've never really been one for sweets... But with that said, is this a costume party then?

[spah]

Yup. Costume party. There's a lotta history behind Halloween... but all honesty, most people just use it as an excuse to dress up.

[searchingforlove]

Well I'm going to have to find something wear then. I would hate to show up without a costume.

[spah]

Only if you wanna, 'course. Got any ideas yet?

[searchingforlove]

Not yet. Though I know a couple of people that I can ask. They should be able to help me find something perfect.

[spah]

[ooc: conversation can still continue ofc, but log's up]
