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 ))

Slightly? The way his looks can make even the most bullheaded people freeze in their tracks is a point of pride. He fully expects that his looks are going to keep Jim in line, though, because they always have.

"I think that we have a fine pair of jack-o-lanterns, Captain."

There's a part of Leonard that will always feel a little broken up about the way things turned out with Jocelyn. They weren't meant to be together, that much was clear after a while. It stings, though, knowing he can't give his daughter that happy union of her two parents.

But he does what he can. His efforts must be working on some level because she always seems happy in the videos she sends to him.

"I think so." Leonard explains that, "the last picture that she drew me was a butterfly."

"Come on, let's get you dressed up and get these pumpkins lit."

Jim claps his best friend on the shoulder and grins brightly enough to light up the place all on his own. He's excited by the opportunity to make Bones' little girl happy and doubly so to be helping in said endeavor. He'll lead Leonard back to the coat room that doubles as spare costumes and props and accessories so he can begin shuffling through the boxes and racks.

"She's gonna be so happy her dad dressed up as the huntsman. Joining in on her theme. Being there for her...as much as you can be." It's his fault Bones can't go back and see her. Jim knows it is. He'll just have to make sure he figures out the PINpoints enough to make them able to visit. He's bound and determined to, now.
