Event Post 12 - Haunted House Halloween Party

[pendulum_soul]

*Today is the day for Yuya's Haunted House Halloween Party, taking place in the practical dueling test arena!

The place is entirely decked out in spooky, creepy décor.
On the upper walkway, tables are set up with various Halloween themed snacks, including punch bowls, filled with blood red (berry) punch, complete with floating plastic eyeballs. There are also bowls full of candy which may or may not have plastic spiders mixed in amongst the yummy goodness.
Each table is decorated with candle holders with (battery powered) candles. On the candle sticks and all around the walls are fake spider webs.
There are also a number of carved pumpkins dotted about.

Down the stairs in the arena is the dance area, where you can dance to the music, some of which is halloween themed! There is also a smoke machine that occasionally lets out puffs of smoke to make the dance floor look all foggy.

About an hour into the party, you're all in for a surprise! All the lights and music cut out, leaving the area dark, except for the candles which is now the only source of light.
Was it a powercut??
Then, suddenly a spotlight turns on, pointing towards the upper walkway where a figure wearing a dark coloured cape with a hood over their head and a white mask over the upper part of their face, is sat upon the barrier surrounding it. This might of been scary if it wasn't for the fact that you can obviously see Yuya's tomato hair poking out from under the hood.

"Greetings, everyone!" he announces. "And welcome to the party here at the haunted house. I am known as 'The Phantom' and I will be your host for this evening. I hope you find everything to your liking and that you enjoy our wonderful delicacies, such as the blood punch, severed finger sausages and the candy bowls full of spiders." With that, Yuya stands up on the barrier, which miiiight make a few people worried that he might fall. "I do hope that you all have a wonderful spooky evening~!"
With that, Yuya bows to everyone, signalling the end of his little 'performance' and the spotlight turns off. When all the lights and the music come back on, he's vanished~!

As always, create threads, threadhop, and have fun!
Happy Halloween~!

*oh my god Kai has the appropriate icons for this.

The boy is wearing not one, but two masks-- one of an oni and one of a what appears to be a fox, on the sides of his head. He's also wearing a yellow hakama, it seems, with a (thankfully fake) sword sheathed at his side.

He's currently at the food table though. ... making sure there aren't literal spiders maybe in the candy bowls.*

[pendulum_soul]

*While you're checking the candy bowls for any real spiders, from nowhere, someone throws a rather realistic looking fake spider onto you!*

[the_ebbandflow]

WHAAAGH!

*he cries out at the sudden appearance of the realistic spider, flailing and getting it off. ... before realizing it's not moving at least.*

What the--

[snakebitesbythebeach]

Is the sword real or not.

::Poking your sword.::

[memoryistime]

*is, of course, supervising as usual. He's doing so from one of the upper areas of the arena.

Understandably, he isn't dressed up for this, but let's be fair, he could be the scariest one in the room if he wanted to, and is a literal ghost already. It'd be redundant.*

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

::Staring at you from the bottom.::

[monochromaticdays]

*Hitoshi's there.

In interest of not repeating the obvious choice from last year, he's wearing what seems to be a very, very dark (almost unbelievable level of black) cloak that covers him and his head, with his mouth covered by a scarf. What's he dressed as?*

[whitrthanwhite]

::A girl who looks like she's probably third year walks up to you, dressed in really old Japanese Clothes and plastic fox ears.::

That's an interesting outfit.

[pendulum_soul]

*After his little stunt, Yuya can be found mingling in the party, either around the dance floor or near the food tables. He is still wearing his hooded cape and mask and under it he is wearing quite a smart black and white suit with a bowtie. You feel that his outfit may very well be inspired by 'The Phantom of the Opera' with his own little twists on it. Hence the name 'The Phantom' he gave to himself earlier.*

[frightfulfusion]

So, what you supposed to be.

::There's a Fluffal Mouse with blue hair and Sora's face sucking on candy::

[monochromaticdays]

*hey Yuya, someone just appeared from the shadows. it's your friend, Hitoshi.

How he just sorta appears from the corner of your eye likely accidentally freaks you out*

[kattobingore]

*Yuma, is of course, by the food tables, though he's not as enthusiastically digging into it as much as he usually would, in fact he seems to be contemplating really hard on what he should have.
Maybe somebody told him not to eat so much this time??

He appears to be dressed up as a zombie, with ripped up clothes and face-paint which does indeed make him look half dead, with fake blood included. You feel like Yuma was probably not the one who did the face-paint though.*

[allunseeing]

*of course Yuma gets the one guy who won't be able to appreciate his costume. Shirou manages to find him this time.*

Hello there. Given the scent, I guess this is where the food is.

[theheadmonarch]

::Pokes you from behind with a plastic trident, Yuma.::

Doing well, Tsukumo-kun?

[arknpcs6]

::Yuma, there is a Ryu-Ran stalking you.::

[snakebitesbythebeach]

::Is in the corner, dressed as Vampire Vamp, leaning against the wall.::

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

::Is sitting on the steps of the arena, pressing his fingers together, alone on his own. Oddly enough he has no outfit, but you can't feel a wet blanket feel.::

[the_ebbandflow]

*Oh now that won't do.

Kai sneaks up on his dear brother.*

[theheadmonarch]

::Is dressed in somewhat skimpy devil outfit, complete with plastic horns and trident.

And sensibly supervising and drinking the red blood berry punch.::

[whitrthanwhite]

::Shows up, wearing Heian era-esque clothes, with plastic fox ears on her head and tails on her back.::

[afterdarkbeforedawn]

::Has been dragged along with his sister, and kept in theme, a fox-eared/tailed Onmyoji, he looks embarrassed.::

[gottasteadfast]

[Gongenzaka is dressed as Wario. Yes, with the mustache and everything. He's sampling the punch.

Waaaa.]

[frightfulfusion]

::Stands behind you, dressed as a Fluffal Mouse, quirking an eyebrow.::

[frightfulfusion]

::There's a Fluffal Mouse glutting on the candy. It just seems to disappear near him, like he's some candy black hole.::

[pendulum_soul]

You should save some candy for the rest of the party...!

*Stood beside Sora is Yuya, who opens a new bag of candy, pouring it out into the bowl Sora just demolished.*
