Spooky Scary Skeletons!
Loki had no idea if any other places were having Halloween bashes, but that wasn't gonna stop him from having his fun! Pub-crawls were a thing if that were the case! The Viper's Pit had been decked out in the spirit of the season, the drinks, boozy and non were themed for the holiday, and aside from the magically drugged glitter one could play with down in the club, there were all manner of edibles.
While the changes were mild inside the building itself, the field had undergone the most changes, from the disappearance of the arena and bathhouse to the forests normally vaguely in the middle distance having been drawn in much closer, ringing a large open field where several bonfires were crackling merrily, each stocked with comfortable places to sit, as well as marshmallows, skewers, and several options for meats to be grilled over an open flame. To the east of the clearing was an expansive-looking corn maze, and standing vigil over it from somewhere in the vague center was a large Victorian-looking house. Anyone who wanted to go snooping would find the maze and home both charmingly haunted by costumed staff looking forward to the chance to scare the pants off some unsuspecting partygoers.
Nothing about the place seems off, or strange. Bats fly about overhead, the moon is large and positioned quite perfectly to make the haunted house look charmingly spooky, and the woods that spread around the clearing are just begging for people to dare to creep down it's paths, jumping at the shrieks that echo from the maze, or just their own imaginations running away with them. Not that there seems to be anything scarier than some mild-mannered wild-life like the owls hooting in the trees- it seems the woods are more designed for a nice nighttime stroll for folks who might want a bit of quiet than anything.
Of course everyone wore costumes. They did right? It's a costume party after all! And if anyone didn't have one, the staff of the bar were quite happy to furnish some of the spares they had on hand, even if it might be something so simple as an animal headband, a pair of wings, or a sheriff's badge and toy gun.
No one was quite certain when things started becoming weirder. Not specifically, and no one was sure why it had happened, given the first sign of things going wrong? Was one of the poor unsuspecting waiters who'd been wearing a cute little bear headband? Was suddenly now a very large, and very confused grizzly bear in a darling little vest trying to balance the tray he'd been carrying on one paw, and attempting to sort out how to get all the drinks off without tipping them onto the customers, who were now a table of animals of varying sizes and shapes, as well as one very bewildered knight, whose plastic armor was suddenly much more realistic and cumbersome.
And from the yelps of surprise and alarm echoing quickly through the Pit and the yard, it was clear this was not an isolated incident.
((ooc: Costume bash! OOC info is here leave any questions in there! Feel free to tag either pre or post-costume realism! For toplevels please use the Trick Or Treat system! If you're just wanting cute fluff or maybe minor spooky stuff, just leave 'Treat' in your toplevel's subject line. If you're here for scary chases and angst, or being a monster to hunt folks for fun (keeping in mind the AVF is in effect!) just post 'Trick'! If you're open to both just put both in! Hopefully this'll make it easier to match up what folks are hoping to play with here even if you're going in otherwise blind. The costumes will revert come sunrise with no ill effects- happy hauntings!))

Both of their eyebrows go up . Aal blinks a few times, while Dor softly smirks and glances toward her with a little encouraging nuzzle of his nose a playful twinkle in his eyes. Before they both softly hummed and look thoughtful.
Aal rubbing her chin in thought. "Perhaps a card game of some sort or.." She half suggests as she turns to look toward the main area of The Viper Pit wondering what party games or other items may be set up.
no subject
“Lead the way!”
There were bound to be all kinds of activities going on - bobbing for apples, and the like.
no subject
"Ah, so have you two run into any other sorts of creatures?" She queries as Dor gently helps her up. Pecking the back of her hand gently as she thanks him warmly.
"My pleasure, love." Dor purrs before glancing toward the pair intrigued as well. As they gather things up and sets some things in order.
They grin and Aal loops her arm through one of Dor's arms. As he smiles, nods, and tucks at the brim of his hat toward the lad before starting to do so. "Sally forth and here we go." He murmurs and shoots his beloved a playful wink as she makes a soft bemused sound and giggles.
no subject
“There’s definitely a few running around here that I think are animagi. Or something...”
Isamu might have used the term Maladictus.
He turned to his snake and reminded her that talking mice were not snacks.
no subject
"Oh, I would not be surprised," Aal murmurs warmly and nods softly. Blinking again the word niggles at her mind. "and thank you ever so much for the chocolate." She adds thinking she should.
Dor's lips twitch slightly, his eyes slightly hood. As he gazes down at his Aalice half adoringly and pleased. Before glancing over at the lad again.
If Aal understood such she would have very wholeheartedly agreed. She also normally had a soft spot for such.
The current semi Hatter, sweeps the area with his gaze wondering if any of their Wonderlandian or Other wise friends were about as well. Mmh perhaps when they were in safer areas he should check the teapots for his wee mate. The Dormouse especially had a fondness for sleeping in such.
