Alexandrea Quartermaine, dressed as Magenta from Rocky Horror, tosses several coloured smoke bombs into the fire pit and then leaves to get the food service set up. THe smoke billows out of control until the blonde returns and throws open all the doors and windows, letting the smoke pour out into the evening air. Dusk still early enough that the night hid none of the colourful clouds.
Alexandrea
With a sigh and a chuckle, Alex checks that the refreshments are still good. (priorities) and then feels her way over to the stairs and the bonfire.
Alexandrea
"A few more can't hurt anything..." ~tosses more green and purple bombs into the flames~
Nikolae
had an empty pumpkin bucket swinging from one hand, ready to shake down mortals for treats he couldn't eat but wanted because he wanted them dammit. Smoke made him stop midstride and he tilted his head toward it suspiciously, heedless that his first borne was still speaking - something was amiss, and it was exactly the sort of thing Captain James Tiberius Kirk would need to investigate. "Spock. Do you... smell that?" He said haltingly, and then beelined for the source of the smoke, somersaulting into the main area and losing his bucket along the way. He whipped out a phaser, and began pulling the trigger to the sound of familiar beeping sounds.
Alexandrea
Annoyed that the family were all late AGAIN.... Alex started to tp all of there apartment doors, & leaving treat/goody bags of dog poop thanks to Kitty's 'Fang' at all the even numbered ones.
Azraeth
had been updating his sire on some of the things going on in Harper Rock since the Longslade incident. Like the mess with the humans, the protests, the mystery of the missing Cure when suddenly...Nikolae was halting him. Az inhaled deeply and before he could even answer, Nikolae, dressed up as James T. Kirk of Star Trek, was bolting into a building with his pumpkin bucket of candy strewn everywhere. Normally the mystic would have cleaned up the mess, but he wanted to be sure Niko didn't accidentally eat someone so he followed hastily after. "Jim, I believe it would be most logical to assess the situation before proceeding." He said, though his own phaser was already drawn as he made his way towards his sire.
Elle
stepped quietly from the stairwell, a tall parisol grasped in one hand acting as a makeshift cane that acted more for show than for functional aid. Her face covered by a leather mask in the fashion of a crow's hooked beak. The red leather matched perfectly the red leather of her bag, handing from the crook of her arm. Her gown was an old style, 14th century, she had been assured, as was historically accurate for the nature of her costume. Her hat rested neatly upon a perfect nest of golden hair, blue eyes sparkling with the light of the fire that had been lit for the occasion. She saw, upon her arrival, her sire moving about the room, checking that everything was ready, and a sudden intrusion of a Federation Starship Captain she didn't recognize at all.
Nikolae
found it was difficult to see among all the smoke, and he stood and dusted off his pants firmly. "Damnit, Spock, I can't just wait around for the Federation to tell me what to do. It's about gut instincts. Guts! Like the ones that stripper had hanging out of him the other night..." The dragon was momentarily distracted and belatedly realized he'd lost his candy haul. "An alien stole my candy, Spock. This won't go unpunished." He vowed, fist a hand and holding it to the sky.
Alexandrea
Spotting the guests starting to arrive, Alexandrea bounced over to welcome them all and admire the costumes. "You all look fantastic... and I have no idea who I'm talking to!" She laughed brightly and waved everyone to the fire and the barcart. "Can I fix anyone a drink?"
Alexandrea
Certainly the most bubbly Magenta ever, Alex Q had broken character before even leaving her apartment.
Azraeth
put his own phaser away. Az was dressed as Leonard Nimoy's Spock, complete with dark hair shaped with squared off bangs and what looked to be slight ear extensions that gave him an almost elven appearance. He had even stocked up on some green faux blood packs in case he needed them. Because preparation. "Jim, I think perhaps you lost your candy back there somewhere." He pointed out helpfully as he stepped closer, only to spot what appeared to be Magenta from Rocky Horror. "What sort of drinks do you think the locals indulge in, Jim?" He asked as a stage whisper, before holding up his hand in the classic Vulcan symbol of peace amongst worlds.
Azraeth

Nikolae
was quite upset about the loss of his haul, he would have to shake down new humans to retrieve what he had lost. The dragon heaved a sigh and holstered his toy-weapon just as a wild-haired space alien approached. "We come in peace. Because Spock insists it. Vulcans.... you know?" He spoke to the woman with a shudder.
Elle
stifled a laugh at the man's portrayal of the iconic television character, as well as his partner. Two of the more handsome television personalities of the past, even if not her exact cup of tea. She turned to her sire and smiled, though the mask his her expression. "I will have whatever you are making." she murmured, the sound muffled behind her beak. Every breath wafted the smell of rose petals through the air, and the lenses of a pair of goggles wrapped tightly about her hat glinted in the firelight as she moved, making her way among the small group.
Elle

Nikolae
"Sounds like a good plan." He agreed and then shot a look to his childe. "Prepare to be defeated. I won't go easy on you." He pointed his finger, and then poked Raeth's cheek gently, flashing a fanged half-grin.
Azraeth
((No problem here. May need to say the entrance to the penthouse is on floor 3 though as opposed to on the elevator dropdown ))
Alexandrea
((good idea ...> )
Alexandrea
Hokay, Jimbo. Ready? *sighs*
Alexandrea
((yesh, lol .< ugh
Alexandrea
lol
Elle
You know who would do well at that game?
Elizabeth
Elizabeth had left Doc and Amalea in the sunken cathedral to go get ready. Her costume was not overly complicated, it just consisted of a few different pieces that had to be put together. First, Elizabeth had purchased a contemporary dance outfit that left little to the imagination. (link: https://flygyal.files.wordpress.com/201 ... outfit.jpg) Then, the woman had bought the real costume, while shopping with Amalea afterwards. Who knew hair was so expensive? (Link: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com ... kklpdL.jpg ) And just in case someone had no idea who she was supposed to be, while Elizabeth was making arrangements for a wedding the weekend before, she purchased a basket and stuffed it with an ever famous chocolate candy (A tip from Amalea again), and let it drape over her right arm (Link: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com ... SY355_.jpg ). She teleported directly to the clocktower's building entrance and wasted no time getting to the penthouse through the elevator.
Elle
eyed Azraeth and grinned. "Squirrels."
Alexandrea
Hmmm?
Alexandrea
*dies*
Azraeth
was on the floor...like a floor person.
Azraeth
looked super happy about it too. Really.
Elizabeth
She heard Alexandrea within her mind, offered a wave with her other hand and then beamed when she made eye contact with the woman.
Nikolae
"Did the squirrels turn the floor to lava? I told you they were deviant little bastards, Raeth. I warned you!" He shook his fist in vain.
Alexandrea
*rolls her eyes and throws her hands up in the air, defeated*
Alexandrea
Yesh, Captain Kirk. It was the Squirrels. It's ALWAYS the squirrels.
Elle
laughed and nudged the man at her side with an elbow. "I believe this means that we win."
Nikolae
"Well... now you know. You can defend yourself from the beady-eyed fuckers in the future." He sniffed.
Alexandrea
Yup, you win! lol :)
Azraeth
couldn't help but chuckle as he picked himself up, dusted himself off. "That we did. Though now I know what I'm dressing up as next year. And it looks like I spy a...Lady Godiva?"
Alexandrea
And oh my gosh, Liz! Look at YOU! And Azraeth thought he would get to be the first to flash his goodies tonight... too bad he wussed out.
Azraeth
had all but given up on staying in character as Spock. And when he'd been thrown down, several of his green faux blood dye packs had gone off...so his blue uniform was splotched with green Vulcan blood.
Alexandrea
~steals a bar of chocolate from Elizabeth's basket~
Nikolae
perched sitting on the table, still wary of the floor, and snickered at Raeth's spattered uniform. "What was he flashing?"
Azraeth
upended Nikolae's table. "My fangs, I think."
Alexandrea
I know a dry cleaner that can fix that right up.
Elle
glanced to the woman that had just arrived, and offered her a smile and a wiggle of her fingers as she drifted toward the bar again.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth had no idea what game they were playing, but made her way inside regardless and nodded her head at Azraeth's suggestion towards her costume, blue eyes trying to assess who he might be, before she heard Alex, and watched her steal a candy bar. "Help yourself. How are thee?"
Alexandrea
Hey now, watch the bar!
Azraeth
"I think I may need one. You'd think I would have bought a drycleaner by now."
Alexandrea
I'm well, My Queen! And better now that you are here! Have you met my Elle yet? *pokes the childer* Elle, Elizabeth is sort of your grandsire in a way, lol. She taught me when my own sire was no where to be found.
Nikolae
fell to the floor unwillingly, bracing himself to die a terrible death of lava-burning. When it didn't happen he stood fluidly and scoffed. "Lying about lava. That's dangerous. What if it really is lava next time? No one will believe you." He muttered.
Alexandrea
true that
Elle
offered the woman a bow of her head, as she took a drink from the bar with her and made her way to her sire's side. "Bonsoir, madame," she said sweetly to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth
"I have not, no. It is most nice to meet thee." Elizabeth dipped her head cordially, before pulling a candy bar out and offering it to the woman.
Elle
grinned, and took the offered confection. She was quite the fan of chocolate, though one wouldn't know to look at her, trim and fit as she was.
Elle
Merci! I will be sure to enjoy this.
Alexandrea
~grins~
Azraeth
retrieved his phaser, so he could place it back on his belt, only to peer towards Elizabeth, who was still fairly recognizable all things considered. "Are we done with the games for the night, ladies, or is it time to start a new one?"
Alexandrea
Something to drink for you, Elizabeth? I have tea as well as the usual hexes and brews. ;)
Alexandrea
New one!
Alexandrea
Spock and Lady Godiva vs Capt Kirk and the plague doctor! Until someone else wants to play, I'll referee.
Elizabeth
"Surprise me." Elizabeth told Alexandrea with a wide smile, before she moved over to the with some sort of strange 'weapon' upon his persons. "Chocolate?" She offered, pulling out a standard Godiva chocolate bar.
Azraeth
reached for the basket with the folded up papers in it, before he glanced to Lady Godiva. "Thank you." He said, taking the candy. He couldn't eat it, but that didn't mean he couldn't share it with someone who could later. "You a fan of charades?" He asked, before reaching for a piece of paper.
Alexandrea
"As you wish, my lady!" Mixes up a cocoa with peppermint schnapps and hands it to Elizabeth with an evil grin~ Try this!
Alexandrea
(((http://www.wordgenerator.net/charades-g ... r-bookmark)))
Elizabeth
"I...do not believe I have ever played." Elizabeth admitted with a small lift of her shoulders and an apologetic smile, before being handed a warm drink. It was not tea, but it smelled chocolatey and of peppermint. "Thank you."
Azraeth
"Well the objective is for me to convey a word, words, or phrase to you without speaking. I can only act to give you clues as to what the phrase is. Let's uh...jump right in."
Alexandrea
The game is simple, really. You just can not make any sound. You need to get your partner to guess a word or a couple of words, by using your hands and your body as props.
Alexandrea
Would you like to go last perhaps, then after seeing a few others you'll have the hang of it."
Azraeth
finally pulled out his slip of paper and unfolded it. It seemed the universe was conspiring to make him look like a pervert.
Azraeth
"Yeah, that would be a good idea."
Alexandrea
((The universe knows what it's talking about... just sayin'
)))Ivara
She wasn’t one for any kind of party. Her thought of a good time was a bottle of scotch and a good lay. Yet, she found herself showing just for Elle - she even wore a costume. She was dressed as a Phoenix, a tribute to her rising from the ashes of a broken marriage and one hell of a life. Spotting Elle, Ivara made it to her side, brow arched and face expessionless. “I still have work to do.â€
Azraeth
balled his paper back up and pretended he hadn't seen it.
Elizabeth
"Very well. I will try and give it my best shot." Elizabeth moved to claim a seat somewhere....
Ivara
I’m at work so responses super slooow. But I didn’t want to miss it!))
Elle
Lana wanted me to post her costume, since she's on her phone. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/11/ ... 138804.jpg <- And to explain Ivara's not hanging out in her underwear. She'll be weraing a gold bikini instead. []
Azraeth
caught sight of the woman who approached Elle...hadn't he seen her before? He could have sworn... "Anyway, does the plague doctor want to take a turn?"
Alexandrea
Wow! That's some costume! Love your wings!
Elle
tipped her head to the woman that had joined her at her side, and gave her a smile, even at the blank expression she got in return. "Ouis, ouis, just for a little while. I wanted you to make some friends, cherie." She turned to Spock and gave the man a nod. "I will go, yes."
Azraeth
dutifully handed over the basket, before taking a seat near Elizabeth, since they were on the same team. Though he found himself scanning for Nikolae, who had gone curiously quiet.
Elle
took a slip of paper from the basket, and read it. It was almost like a fortune. It felt too easy. She turned to her sire, then. "Who was my partner this round?"
Ivara
Offered the woman a smile. “Thanks. You look lovely.†She turned to Elle, then, and sighed. “Yes, dear.â€
Elle
was trying not to stare at the woman at her side, even as her fingers brushed along the woman's back.
Alexandrea
Capt Kirk but he seems to have taken a nap? lol
Elle
I believe that he may have.
Elle
chuckled, and finished off her most recent drink.
Alexandrea
Would your friend like to play? *nudges her childe to make introductions*
Azraeth
used his fingers to plug his ears for seemingly unknown reasons.
Elizabeth
sipped at the warm drink, wondering how this game was actually played. There had to be more to it than what was said...right?
Elle
felt the nudge and nodded her confirmation that she understood. "Alex, this is Ivara, my date. Ivara, this is my sire, Alex."
Alexandrea
Hellos!
Ivara
Nice to meet you, Alex.
Alexandrea
Would you help us out in Charades, Ivara?
Nikolae
Sorry dolls, I gotta crawl off to bed D: ))
Nikolae
stood abruptly, looking worried, and touched his chest over the little star trek emblem. "Beam us up, Scottie!"
Alexandrea
I dig! <3 Sweet Dreams! <3))
Elle
Tooootally understand, Brandeh! Go rest. <33 []
Azraeth
unplugged his ears. Oh. No explosion. Good. "Right, off to the Enterprise." And then he and Nikolae disappeared rather suddenly.
Alexandrea
Dammit Jim! lol
Nikolae
Mwahhh <33 ))
Alexandrea
Thanks for coming! Byes! )))
Azraeth
I'm off as well <3 Night you lovely folks []
Elle
Night, NT. <3 []
Alexandrea
poo
kk <3 Take care sweetie!!! ))Elizabeth
just blinked. What was an enterprize?
Alexandrea
I loved that show as a kid.
Alexandrea
Anyone fancy a star trek binge-athon? LOL
Elle
laughed. "One of my nannies was a Trekkie. Most of what I know is from her."
Alexandrea
~nods~ :) Liz? Ever seen Star Trek?
Elizabeth
"I cannot say I ever have. What is it?" Elizabeth asked as she took another sip of her drink.
Alexandrea
It's a show that takes place in the future. They travel in a ship that sails trough the stars.
Alexandrea
*tosses more colour smoke bombs into the fire* It's not too smokey in here I hope?
