[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.

Convenient candidate, probably

[and the fact that he's a mercenary that regularly fights and kills other mercenaries but he's not going to get into detail about that]

[trivialization]

What, like you're the only people on the same deserted island? Your soul is already loose so he can be sloppier drawing his ritual circle or use a smaller magic crowbar or however it works there?

[ You should 100% trust this random stranger on the internet with your sordid past. She... probably won't reciprocate at all. ]

[spah]

It's more along the lines of a haunted carnival on an ancient Sumerian burial ground, but roundabouts that direction, sure.

All honesty, you ain't gonna get a good answer out of me. I never got a good answer out of him.

[Only a partial lie. He DOES have a good answer, but he also never knows 100% what said wizard's logic is.]

[trivialization]

And you make a habit of going back to it? Must have a really good time.

Does manage to make me curious about your party, though.

[spah]

Wouldn't call it a habit.

If you wanna come, you're more than welcome.

[ooc: just put the log up last night if you're interested!]

[trivialization]

Going to be mad if my costume is too magical?

[spah]

Only if you try to steal my soul.

[trivialization]

I think I can commit myself to the position that it's doing fine where it is.
