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 ))

"No, no I did not get a cat."

Steve's grinning now though. A bright smile that lights up his face.

"Do you remember that influx of strange sentient creatures a while back...?"

One eyebrow rises slowly as she listens to Steve. What in the world is he playing at?

"I vaguely remember something like that happening this year." She was a little busy being introverted at the time, but she heard talk about them for weeks after they arrived. There seemed to be quite a few of them of many different varieties, from what people were saying, but-

Wait. Wait.

"...how many of these things did you bring home with you?" Because of course she's worried about the number before she's worried about what they are.

"Hey, hey now."

Steve raises both hands in defense. it's not like he kidnapped creatures form the Nexus, Okay. He made friends with them, and then later found out they never made it back to their world, either.

"I didn't bring them home. They're my friends. And someone else asked me to look after them." A certain Velvet Room gentleman, even. You don't say no to the butler of fates. "....Three."

Amelia crosses her arms in front of her chest and gives him a long, stern look that ends in a wry smile and a small laugh. As if she could say no to that excited face of his - it's one of her weaknesses when it comes to Steve and his ilk.

"I trust you're taking good care of each other?" she asks, shaking her head a little. "I at least hope you're not having any trouble with them in your apartment." Intelligent as they may be, there's no telling what they might do in Steve's lovely apartment when left alone for too long.

"They're certainly keeping me busy."

And more importantly, they're keeping Steve from being alone. There's more earnestness to his smiles now. A life that seemed to have been drained from him before.

Another, good-hearted laugh falls from her lips as she shakes her head again. "That's certainly not a bad thing."

Because that smile is everything. His has always been a smile she loved, but seeing that he really means them makes it all the more endearing to her.

"Let me know when I can come over - I'd be glad to meet them."
