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 ))

"I dunno, did Hadrian ever work in the senate before he became Emperor?"

Josh scratches at the back of his neck, careful not to dislodge his own headpiece after all of the hard work of getting his costume just so. "Gotta be honest, I don't really know all that many aside from the big ones. Names, that is."

The question about the costume makes Josh chuckle slightly before he gives a low whistle.

"It looks real, bro. Like. You outdid me crazy well."

[speaksdinosaur]

"That he did."

The Doctor points out as he fixes up his robes and then it dawns on him that he left something back in the TARDIS. "Nobody does, and don't worry, in due time even the more big ones will end up forgotten."

He looks at himself in the mirror with a long look on his face, but if briefly fades and a smirk replaces it. "That's because it is real." He turns his head around, and he looks down at a heavy gold lion's head ring that's on his finger, and he yanks the ring off of his finger and hands it to Josh.

"Consider this one of those perks of being a time traveler. And that is, I get to pick some of the best costumes to wear to a party." He doesn't care much about the whole concept of Halloween, but The Doctor has rarely turned down a good party.

"Hey, I could have said Ceasar. I deserve partial credit, I think."

Okay, most all of the extra costume bits have been put away in their respective boxes now. Not that josh is in charge of keeping this area clean or anything, but since he's been in here helping folks out he figures he oughta do what he can before he heads out into the party proper.

Though he stops and turns around at the claim that the outfit was genuine. His mouth falls open.

"Seriously?" He turns the ring over between his fingers and makes a low whistle, clearly impressed with it. "I made do with the bargain bins all over the Nexus. And a hot glue gun."

"Caesar or Emperor, different words but the meaning is the same."

The Doctor finishes looking at himself in the mirror, and he turns around to face Josh still grinning. And he looks at the other costumes that are hanging up that he can see, and he waves it off with a hand.

"There's nothing wrong with showing a little creative ingenuity, or gluing rhinestones on felt." The Doctor looks down to fix the sleeves of his toga, and he then proceeds to fold his arms against his chest. "Or if you live a place like this, you take advantage of it and cheat a little by finding someone who's got a time machine and asking them to find you an authentic costume."

[brother_alone]

"I do live in a place like this, but there's a certain satisfaction to making something myself. Might have to take you up on it next year though, depending on my costume ideas."

He's one of those folks who will start counting down until next Halloween starting tomorrow morning.

"I'm gonna go check out the bar, first, I think. There's a dance floor outside and there's no way I'm touching that sober."

[speaksdinosaur]

"Ah, yes, you're one of the locals!" The Doctor won't admit that he is simply using the Nexus as a place to hide out in. The Time Lords are still looking for him, and he is going to do everything possible to keep off their radar screen. The Doctor scrunches his face together, and he holds his hand out for the ring.

"And, I'm sure I'll be around, well baring any unforeseen circumstances. Or unless we have another costume party that doesn't revolve around an Earth holiday."

The Doctor nods his head, and he then looks over at the dance floor with a sour look on his face. "I wouldn't touch that thing, neither sober or drunk."

[brother_alone]

"Not much of a dancer, I take it?"

Josh chuckles slightly and then shrugs. He tugs the linens of his costume back up onto his shoulders proper.

"Well, no matter what you end up doing, the leaves should stay in place with those pins. I made sure of that. Good seeing ya, man."
