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 ))

Katsuya gives his friend a knowing smile while he helps himself to one of the cupcakes. As though he needed an excuse to eat sweets. That's what they're all set up for!

"I have to say, Radio and Ice Bear have really come through for this. Radio and Ice got a local young man to manage the decorations, Radio got all the permissions and rentals handled, Ice and I spent this last week preparing the food. It's really just gone so smoothly."

He looks around the cafe and gives Hughes a huge smile.

"I think we're actually going to pull this off."

His friend's happiness is infectious and Hughes finds himself smiling right back at Katsuya, fake vampire teeth and all.

"It's great, Katsuya. Thank you for putting this on for everyone."

"Well, I enjoy seeing everyone come together."

They can have matching pointy smiles and everything. Katsuya's grinning too. He likes seeing people happy. Enjoys running into old friends. He spends far too much time alone for his liking.

"I'm sure you'll be bringing plenty of sweets home to your family. I'll set aside a few tupperware dishes under the counter so you can help yourself once the party winds down."

"And everyone's enjoying the hell out of it, as far as I can tel - I know I am. There's drinks, treats and candy, dancing, a fire outside for anyone willing to brave the chill, and a place to be scared silly. All of you pulled something amazing together for us." It feels like they've covered all of the bases for the holiday and it's damn impressive. He hopes they all realize that.

He chuckles softly at the offer. "Thanks. My wife might be unhappy with everything I bring home, but my daughter and I are going to enjoy overeating together for the next few weeks."

"Perhaps she'll forgive you if you say they're from me and I wouldn't hear you turn them down."

The officer gives Hughes a wry smile, one eyebrow raised as if to say 'why yes, I'm conspiring to spoil your daughter but I won't admit it'.

[bestdadinamestris]

"You know, I think that might just work. Can't say 'no' to a good friend, right?"

Hughes grins broadly. He's glad for any and all help to spoil his daughter.
