1st Annual Halloween Block Party!

[iam_senpai]

Perhaps it's the leaves of fiery golds and oranges drifting on the breeze, or the sight of various hard squash being mangled into festive ornaments, or even still the bowls of candy left out simply everywhere in the Nexus that signifies the import of today. Regardless of when you take heed, Halloween has come to the Nexus.

Neat little handmade signs and fliers of all kinds lead to a particularly festive sectioned off block with the Crossroads Cafe at the center. The brick building has more than its fair share of decorations hung from every available windowsill and door. Hanging skeletons, jolly Jack-O-Lanterns, orange and black streamers cascading down and blowing to and fro in the crisp breeze.

The doors are propped open just waiting to beckon you inside. What are you waiting for?

((See the OOC post if you have any questions! Backtagging and threadhopping are fine. Come on in and have a blast :D ))

The Doctor who came with Clara is dressed as one famous detective complete with pipe and the deer hunter hat. He's got a cane in hand, and he makes a bee line for the Candy Exchange Bowl without reading the sign. He reaches a hand into the bowl, and he lifts a piece of chocolate up and he looks it over.

"With my powers of Sherlockian detection, I deduct that you are a chocolate bar with nuts!" He then proceeds to chuck it over his shoulder. "Blah, I hate nuts." He then ruffles through the bowl again to see if he can find something far more to his liking. "...Ew, jelly! Who is bringing these candies?! Where's the double deckers and chocolate buttons?!" He continues to fling candies that don't meet with his taste over his shoulder with wreckless abandon.

"I'd even be happy with some Jammie Dodgers!"

Halloween's a day to dress up right? So Kylo Ren has picked the most ridiculous costume he could think of to crash this party. Normally crowds of people aren't really his thing, but the promise of good food, drink, and candy is really too much for him to pass up.

He's leaning against a wall next to where the Doctor is throwing his candy tantrum, just about to unwrap the candybar he'd taken from the bowl mere moments ago.

What's this old guy's problem?

[space_gandalf]

It might have something to do with the selection of chocolates. But The Doctor all but yanks the bowl from off the table, and he goes to find a place to sit down to root through it. "You'd think these people would have good taste in candy." It does dawn on him that they were keeping all of the good candy bars for themselves.

"And why is there no candy floss!" He chucks over a piece of chocolate with peanuts. "Gross!" And a piece of minty candy goes flying in Kylo's direction. "Ew!" Maybe this old guy doesn't need anymore chocolate or whatever it has resulted in his candy tantrum.

[dadimrighthere]

"There's literally mountains of food here. Watch where you're throwing shit."

Not that he really minds that the guy is making a mess? It's not his place and he's not responsible for the clean up. Still. He glances down at the candy bar in his hands before tossing it the guy's way.

"Double Decker, right? Here. "

Anything to stop this fit before he gets an eye put out by a jawbreaker or something.

[space_gandalf]

And The Doctor does indeed chuck a jawbreaker over his shoulder without noticing where it was going. "I know there's plenty of food, but I'm on the hunt for the best chocolate. And... Oooh, wax lips!" He grabs a pair of the inedible pair of vampire fangs from the bowl and he tucks them into his pocket.

And he turns around quickly to catch the candy bar in his hands, and he stops to look at the mess he made in the process of hunting down the chocolate bar. "Double deckers are the best chocolate the universe has to offer, and I can see why." The Doctor takes the bowl, and he goes to set it back down on the table.

He is quick to open up the candy bar, and he takes a bite out of it with a look of satisfaction on his face. "And what are you supposed to be?" He asks with a mouthful of chocolate and wafer in his mouth.

[dadimrighthere]

Good thing Kylo has pretty good reflexes. Thanks Dad. He ducks and exclaims something in Corellian that is probably not very polite.

"The most ridiculous thing I could think of to dress up as."

He doesn't expect some Earther to get it, but that's fine.

"A smuggler."

[rekindledtitan]

The next piece of candy to go flying thwacks into the raised palm of an armored soldier. It's not easy to look stern with her pumpkin face carved into a fanged grin, but she's trying as she steps up beside his shoulder. "Easy with the bombardment! You're going to take someone out with that."

[space_gandalf]

The bowl is half empty and he finds one more Double Decker bar, and The Doctor looks at the chocolate bar with childish glee. Was all of his trouble worth it? Of course it is, at least to him it is totally worth it.

"Oh, I'm very sorry, Pumpkin Face." The Doctor gets up from the ground, and he looks down at the carnage around him with an embarrassed look on his face. This isn't exactly how a Highborn Gallifrayan is meant to act, and The Doctor knows it.

He bends down to pick up a candy bar, and he offers it to Blaze. "But someone was eating all of the Double Deckers."

[rekindledtitan]

"Were they?" She sounds amused, though she just looks at the bar she takes from him and then places it back in the bowl. Was that a 'double decker'? Didn't look like it. "Tell you what, you get the candy back where it belongs and I'll keep a look out for the thief."

She doesn't know enough to make a scarecrow joke, but she'd be a pretty good one.

[space_gandalf]

The Doctor looks in horror as the candy bar is snatched from his fingers. "Oi! I was going to eat that!" It looked like a Double Decker, and perhaps it wasn't and it was ready to be tossed over his shoulder along with the rest of the discarded candy bars if it wasn't.

"That or there really was just one. I mean who would just bring one of the best candy bars in the known universe." He dusts off his cloak, and he fixes his hat. "And besides, the cranky tinman needed to lighten up a little bit." And then he bites his lip as he sees how far some of the candy ended up going, and the fact he got a tad bit carried away. "And don't worry, I'll replace the candy that was destroyed. I think my friend has some back in the TARDIS."

And he then looks back down at the candy, and he picks up a few of the discarded bars and he puts them back into the bowl. Anything that looks like it might be worth keeping for later ends up being shoved into one of his very deep pockets. And he looks back up to Blaze's costume with a thoughtful look on his face. "And I wonder what a Scarecrow would look like with a fez instead of big old floppy straw hat."


ooc: Totally cool with keeping any old cr these two had btw.

[rekindledtitan]

"Oh. Sorry. Want me to find it?" She saw where she tossed it: machine memory does have benefits. Blaze leans over to root through the bowl without waiting for his answer. The chatty Doctor gets an amused chuckle while she does. No harm, no foul, right?

"Well, I don't know what a scarecrow is, but I know you, Doctor." Her visual isn't quite as good from inside the pumpkin helmet, but she's sure. The Titan straightens up to offer him the candy bar she's retrieved, her free hand lifting the jackolyte off so she can tilt her head at him in an Exo smile. Ghost sneaks out to flutter a hello from beneath his knitted unicorn hat. "Nice to run into you again."


((Awesome! I'm good with that!))

[space_gandalf]

He continues to clean up after himself, The Doctor has quite a bit to gather and with some things having been lost to a sea of legs and corners, he might be working after hours when everyone has left.

And he goes to pick up a non-smushed piece of candy up from the floor, dusting it off on his cloak; he drops it back in the bucket. His eyes then light up when he realizes whom, Pumpkin Face was. The Doctor throws his arms out wide, and he stands there grinning ear to ear. "Blaze! I didn't know it was you under that fabulous looking mask, and that is a very clever looking pumpkin."

He turns his head around, and he waves an excited hand at Ghost. "And you too, Ghost! And that is a fantastic hat!" The Doctor just might borrow it later.

“But you two know me, I’m not very good at staying in one place for long, and some how I managed to find myself here.”

[rekindledtitan]

"You like it, huh? They're traditional for Guardians this time of year. And Ghost's hat is great, isn't it? Our friend Steve gave it to him." Blaze lets her pumpkin helm drop back onto her shoulders and wraps an arm over the Doctor's shoulders to pull him into a quick squeeze of a hug. She's gotten stronger, since they met, but she's better at measuring her strength too, not to squash the wind from her organic friends.

"It's nice to see you, Ghost says more shyly. "Although I'm almost surprised it took this long to meet you here."

"Seems like your kind of place," Blaze agrees, releasing the Doctor. "So, are you going to stay a while? We come round to patrol the area pretty regularly."

[space_gandalf]

"I love it!" The Doctor can't help but to 'urg' at the tight squeeze, but he is still all smiles. "And that was one amazing bear hug! And I know my bear hugs!" The Doctor's natural sugar rush fades, and he of course he is still tickled pink to be among the company of old friends and perhaps he'll get to meet some new friends.

He whips around to look at Ghost, and he takes off his deer-hunter hat and he motions Ghost over towards him. "I've been a bit busy with a few things." The Doctor blushes a little bit. "And I also brought my good friend Clara with me, if you see her she's dressed up as a shark."

"Oh, this is my type of place, with all sorts of new people and there's even a cafe." And he motions to the people in the cafe. "And I've got plans to hang around and do stuff. What kind of stuff, oh, I don't know. But if there's room for the boogeyman's worst nightmare to park his TARDIS somewhere, I'll find a nice place to kick up these tired old feet and stick around for a bit."
