Gnarlitch Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 With a slight whirring sound the Predator powers up his suit again and begins targetting the pumpkin-ads. HEHEHEHE! THIS IS FUN!
Mynx Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Mynx tries to remained focussed on the conversation with two of her friends, but after the glass of wine she apprehended from Tanuchan is empty, she soon finds herself bored and looking around. Noticing another table laden with drinks, Mynx collects her pompoms once more and bounces off, giggling idly as she bumps into random party-goers, leaving Tanuchan and Celes alone as they regard each other with looks of worry edging on fear as the cheerleader begins consuming even more copious amounts of alcohol...
cryptomancer Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 (edited) Cryptomancer spins to the edge of the dancefloor, stops with a flourish and a timed pose, and steps into the crowd. Moving smoothly through the groups of people he finds a drink, cool refreshing, and loaded with caffeine. Spotting Mynx on her quest for alcohol, he moves to meet Tanny and Celes. Stepping softly to join them, he grins, "Good evening Ladies, Wonderful party isnt it?" Edited October 8, 2004 by cryptomancer
Vahktang Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 A familiar beat is heard and a call out from the chorus: Thriller! (sure, I stole it from a movie, but it's still a great idea) The Candidate and his entourage take to the dance floor. They have practiced, and the secret service agents make excellent zombies. Others join in. "C'mon, Tanny, it's Thriller."
Finnius Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 After (finally) getting his swirliest and blackest cloak unstuck from Sal's front door, the little blue man slips around the side of the room, and is promptly bumped into/bowled over by a slightly inebriated CheerMynxer. Once again distangling himself from his voluminous garment, the indigo semi-mage lifts himself from the floor, offering the overly cheery feline a lopsided grin upon figuring out who it is. "Hey! Actually, I've been meaning to introduce myself to you three." "But there's only one of me..." "Well, true, only one of you right now, but I was referring to yourself, Cryptomancer, and Gryphon... could be me, I just tend to automatically group you three together. Anywho, my name is Finnius Mustardio Jalopini Canard O'Harpy... not that I really expect anyone to remember all that. You can call me Finnius, or Finn, or that little blue guy, or really whatever you want to." The white mask on top of Finnius' head cocks to one side, and he takes a moment to straighten it. "Well, anyway, I'm just saying hello, and we're glad to have you around... s'always nice to see new members doing well, and you three have been little bundles of energy. Well, maybe not little bundles... more like huge bundles, but I'm rambling. Enjoy the party!" And with this, the barely-five-foot, deep-blue bard gives a wave and heads off for punch, getting swarmed by pumpkin-sylphs in the process.
Tanuchan Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Tanny smiles at Cryptomancer. "Hi, Cryp... do you mind if I call you that? It's nice to see you here, I hope you're enjoying the party. Nice costume, by the way." She shoots a worried glance at the quite drunk cheerleader who's now talking to Finnius. "Hm... I'm a little worried about Mynx... but I guess she'll be okay... " Celes also greets Cryptomancer, and they manage to talk for a little while before Tanny's suddenly grabbed by a hand that sweeps her into the dance floor. Gasping in surprise, she nods at Vahktang while falling into the rhythm of the music. "Huh... I think I should be greeting the guests?" "Of course not, Tanny." He grins at her. "There's time for work and time for fun. No one will mind if you have a little of fun, specially with such a likable Candidate as myself. Do you know that I intend to have a special secretary for Shapechanging matters?" She laughs softly, glancing around while dancing. Well... he's right, I suppose... time for... fun! Giggling softly, Tanny extends a hand and grabs Finnius' arm, pulling him also into the dance floor. "Hi, Finnius... " She grins, keeping her hold so he doesn't have choice other than start dancing.
Mynx Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 After her encounter with the strange little blue thing (of which she was currently seeing three of) Mynx decided that the best plan of action was for her to go and have another drink to fix her vision... Suddenly, a deafening crash is heard, and various party guests turn to see Mynx standing sheepishly in the middle of an overturned table, broken glass, and a strong stench of mixing alcohol. She blushes, giggles, sways a little, and decides to bounce off in search of more alcohol, occasionally crashing into people that she was now seeing multiples of...
Nave Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 Watching the pumpkins float around the room, Nave takes a look at something in his hand... "Ok I think its time I put the shrooms away." Nave holds up some mushrooms far away from himself and then tosses them into the air "Skeet Shoot!!"
HappyBuddha Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 The mushrooms hang in the air for a millisecond before being swallowed by a flying HappyBuddha, who has dived out of the shadows of the party, having put on an unusual display of sneakiness and restraint in getting to those shadows. His hunger appears to have gotten the better of him however, and those mushrooms quickly find residence in the dark labyrinth that is his belly Reflex saves most of the guests from being landed on by the monstrous bulk of HappyBuddha, but one unfortunate server gets crushed by his weight, not recognizing the sudden enormous shadow engulfing him for what it is. After finding his vital signs miraculously OK, the other servers display their perverse humor by stuffing his body in a coffin, arguing that it "adds to the spooky decor". Meanwhile HappyBuddha stands and dusts himself off; it is at this moment that the others get to see his costume, an enormous toga. Fittingly last minute for such a notorious procrastinator. "I take fashionably late seriously ladies and gentlemen, and I'm always one for a spectacular entrance. Who's ready to party?" Met by a bedraggled chear from a somewhat drunk crowd, he nonetheless plunges into it (or does the crowd plunge into him?) with characteristic abandon, having shrunk himself (he was only at full size for his entrance, to add some pizzaz to it) and made a mandatory snack run first.
Finnius Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 "Now which way to the- hoo!" Almost tripping over his swirly cloak as he is pulled onto the dance floor, the little blue semi-mage grins absently at Tanuchan, upon regaining his balance. "Well, hello to you too, Tanny!" Finnius nods politely and follows along with the SS agents in their zombie-dancing fun, breaking away only to do an impromptu Vincent Price lip-synch, just as HappyBuddha erupts into the festivities like a mirthful, voracious Mt. Saint Helens. The little blue man dives out of the way, tucking and rolling in a beliance of his usual clumsiness, and neatly swings back up to his feet just as the last mushrooms are disappearing into the Buddha's mouth. Finnius catches his breath, blinks a few times to make sure his eyes are properly working, then chuckles under his breath. "Nice toga!"
Tanuchan Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 Startled by the sudden appearance of a flying HappyBuddha, Tanny reflexively changes into her wolf form, darting from the dance floor and diving under a table, and in that process toppling Gwaihir who was stepping back from the giant shadow. *Ooops... sorry, Gwai... * She comes from under the table as soon as she realizes the danger is just her big friend arriving, and nudges Gwai softly, apologizing. She also grins at HappyBuddha, wagging her tail to show her pleasure.
Lady Celes Crusader Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 Celes chuckles as she sees Tanny being grabbed away by Vahktang. She comments to Crypto. - Well, poor Tanny will be pulled over from guest to guest. I wish she'll have actually time to relax. One Sylph flies over Celes and starts to complain. - Mistress! Some of these guests are litterally dangerous. They shoot on us or try to eat us! - Do not worry! Since you're a magical creature, you shouldn't worry about these. Now, go on and treat more agreeable guests. The Sylph nods and resumes her activity as a flying pumpkin. Cryptomancer chuckles. - Arent you supposed to have full control of the creatures that you summon? - I sure do. smirks Celes, I sure do.
Vahktang Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 Thriller ends. There is a pause by the DJ while a handler runs up to her. A moment's arguement, the passing of some folding money, and a new song begins. The beat is familiar but not instantly. The handler runs up to The Candidate, another moment of arguement, then a shrug. The security people, The Candidate, and the handlers get in a line. You can tell the world you never was my girl, You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone, You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been, And laugh and joke about me on the phone. Some cries: "The Horror, The Horror." You can tell my arms go back to the farm, You can tell my feet to hit the floor, Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips, They won't be reaching out for you no more. The dance floor empties except for the entourage. But don't tell my heart, My achy breaky heart, I just don't think he'd understand. "I know holloween is supposed to be scary, but..." They go through line dancing the entire song, in mechanical precision, a fake smile plastered on each of their faces. It is somewhat unnerving. Much booze is consumed during this sequence.
YanYanGanaffi Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 *Her?! When did I become a her? I was going to flirt with her *points @ Mynx* and maybe her *points @ Tanny*, but rest assured, I am a him!*
Gryphon Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 A shadow with sparkly blue fireflies drifts over to YanYanGanaffi and drapes a shadowy appendage that might have been an arm - or maybe a wing - around his shoulders and looks him up and down... Words that filter through the mind with barely a nod to the ears send a shiver down YanYanGanaffi's spine, "Must've been something you said that made them think of you as a her... you look like a him to me. Come on, lets go get a drink." Ignoring the fact that the voice seems to have partially counteracted any alchohol consumed already and the way the shadowy insubstantial arm passes right through YanYan without moving him an inch in the direction of the drinks the shadow wanders off to find something to ingest. A small Gryphon feather floats towards the ground before sticking to YanYanGanaffi's back. ~umbra~
Ayshela Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Ayshela stumbles in belatedly from a last minute shopping trip, looking frantically for Tanny to deliver the rest of the mixers and snacks, and to let her know that the crates just outside have the requested "spare" alcohol for the now nearly destroyed bar. Perhaps not quite so "spare" as hoped? Oh dear... Righting the table and setting things out, Ayshela sidesteps a couple weaving guests and ducks a flying sylph or two. Hearing the DJ begin playing an achy breaky song, Ayshela pales slightly and decides this would be an excellent time to go get the crates and resupply the bar.. and who could blame her if it took a few minutes to do so? Maybe, a song.. or two.. to collect everything? Shuddering slightly, she steps outside, and out of hearing range, slooooooowly collecting the rest of her supplies before returning with an artificial smile stuck firmly in place.
cryptomancer Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Cryptomancer watches as the sylph disappears from view. "Interesting choice of creature for the party, they seem to enjoy the atmoshere very much." Grinning at Celes, Cryptomancer bows slightly as the air shimers in front of him, reaching out into a small blue/green portal, he retrieves a bottle. "I find summoning my own private bar staff more useful. May I offer you a drink?"
Nave Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Upon hearing the offer of a drink (granted to someone other then himself), Nave locates the source." "Hey if you're smurfin out the free Hooch, hook a smufy brother up!"
Tanuchan Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 As soon as she re-enters the room, Ayshela meets Tanny (again in human form). She helps with the supplies, smiling., "Oh, thanks so much, 'shela... it's been quite mes.... ehm... enthusiastic... around here... " she waves in the general direction of the bar. The table Ayshela righted is being cleaned and filled with food and drinks again, and the music has also changed. There's a loud yell, and a crashing noise. Noo.... what now? Tanny turns very slowly, and bursts in laughter as she sees a tangle of feline arms and legs thrashing near the bar. Katzaniel tries to stand up, only to be knocked down once more by Mynx, who grabs her tail trying to right herself. And an angry meowling coming from the tangle reveals Cambronne clawing his way out, making Katz yelp in pain when he scratches her bare arm. All the while, Mynx giggles and seems to be enjoying herself quite a lot trying to discover who's the owner of each tail she grabs. "Ouch... that's mine..." she giggles, extending her hand to try again to grab Carbonne's tail. The poor cat disentangles herself and dashes into Lady Celes' direction, hiding amid the folds of her robe - while Cambronne keeps testing his claws on these annoying paws entangling him. "Oh... my god... " whispers Ayshela Tanny nods, "Yeah, I guess they need some help... " She shimmers into her tanuki form, gesturing quickly with both paws and tail. A small ghostly form appears floating just in front of Mynx' eyes, changing colors eerily and holding what seems a tiny glass of multi-colored liquor. Squealing in delight, Mynx immediately forgets the tails and reaches for the small ghost, who floats just out of reach and seems to tease her into pursuit. Tanny-tanuki darts into the tangle, freeing Cambronne and patting the disconcerted Katz' head before shimmering back into human form again, grinning to Ayshela and Katz. "Illusion is always easier as a tanuki... I hope that will keep Mynx a bit busy, and maybe away from the bar while we right things out?"
Vahktang Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 (Last song, I swear) The hot guys are all sweaty from the extended line dancing song. The Candidate offers them one more song, then the night off. A few moments of arguement and disagreement and a consensus is reached. A chorus line is formed, while one handler, with the sweetest voice, starts: When the little bluebird Who has never said a word Starts to sing Spring When the little bluebell At the bottom of the dell Starts to ring Ding dong Ding dong When the little blue clerk In the middle of his work Starts a tune to the moon up above It is nature that is all Simply telling us to fall in love And the song kicks in, and the chorus line starts to kick, too. And that's why birds do it, bees do it Even educated fleas do it Let's do it, let's fall in love
Lady Celes Crusader Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Celes grabs Cambronne let his body rest on her shoulder while the black feline buries his head in his mistress' neck. Celes gently strokes her cat who relaxes a bit. - Poor Cambronne! Mynx and Katz scared you a lot! Hush... it's okay now! Katz comes nearby Celes. - I'm sorry for this whole thing. - That's okay, as long as it wont happened again. Be lucky that it's not Carbone. - Errr why? wonders Katz. - Because she would have clawed the both of you even more badly as she's the scared one. Suddenly Carbone is growling and hissing over a too insistent Mynx. When Mynx decides to give the smaller feline a little tap with her paw, Carbone immediatly claws it and immediatly runs away from Mynx while still hissing. - Great! ,comments Celes, Now I'll have two cats to watch over.
Mynx Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 (edited) Mynx pouts unhappily over her new claw mark given by the hissing kitty she had tried to play with. She attempts to conjure up a kitty minion to extract revenge but find she is too inebriated. (Plus, the cheerleader mind has fully taken hold...Magic? that's what freaks do! Totally!) Deciding she is feeling too sober, Mynx looks around for a new location of alcohol, after finding that the main bar seems to be...guarded by a number of pennites. She notices Cryptomancer as he makes himself a drink seemingly from nowhere and begins to grin widely... Feeling an overly happy presence at his shoulder, Cryptomancer glances behind him to find Mynx grinning at him very widely, trying exceedingly hard to come off as cute and innocent in an attempt to score a free drink. "Hi birdy!" Edited October 12, 2004 by Mynx
Gnarlitch Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 The stinky dwarf/predator sidles up to Mynx, pinches her on the "cheek," and then stuffs a bottle of a clear liquid in her hands when she turns towards him, startled. "Here, sweetness, try some of this. Careful though, it's rather strong!" He watches her take a large swallow and smile then smiles in return. With that he puts his arm around her and escorts her off, winking at the others. OOC: Okay, yes, I know how this looks. In fact, it was intended to look that way...as a ruse. The bottle is actually full of mineral water and a magical potion vs. intoxication, but has a glamour put on it so that it appears to the drinker as if it is a strong alcoholic beverage until it is too late and they are sober and in control once more. Then it is usually advisable to duck and run because this sort of "help" is usually unappreciated!
cryptomancer Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 Cryptomancer catches Mynx's arm as she is being lead away, and in a graceful dance movement, spins her away from The stinky dwarf/predator, grinning at the slightly startled expression on Mynx's face as he does so. In a series of gentle turns, the Cryptomancer slowly moves Mynx into view of the small portal that beside him still. "Watch the soft blue light Mynx." Mynx giggles as she notices that patterns are dancing in the light, showing a view of the room beyond, her eyes widen at the realisation that this small bar, is in fact a full liqour store, and Cryptomancer seems to be well known. Cryptomancer places a small crystal glass below Mynx's nose, letting the soft annis seed aroma catch her attention, And as he draws her eyes down to the softly glowing liquid in the vessel, touches it to her lips. Slowly the young feline opens her mouth, and grasping the small glass between her lips, tilts her head back, letting the contents of the glass flow into her mouth. "Absynthe for the beauty, let loose the bonds of thought." Cryptomancers whisper is greated by a very stunned look on Mynx's face, as she realises 95% alcohol is quite strong. Turning Mynx in a slow and graceful dance that seems to work into the slight sway of intoxication very well, Cryptomancer relieves her of the bottle from The stinky dwarf/predator, placing it in his portal as it closes. [OOC: Glowing Absynthe, a drink blessed and brewed by the Cryptomancer, Its effects can only be removed the brewer, as it contains a small but potent spell of permanent intoxication. For the full duration of the party, Mynx is Intoxicated, and will most likely kill me three weeks from now when the hangover finally departs.]
