Costume Party! by

Welcome to the PPC Board Halloween Costume Party! This will be going on the whole weekend (24-26), so I hope you enjoy.
I hope you wore your costume, because this is a masquerade. I'm not in mine yet, since otherwise it'd be obvious.
---------------------------
The (secondary) Board has been decorated in an impressively slapdash way. Orange and black streamers decorate the room, and pumpkins of various sizes litter the floors, waiting to be tripped over. In the center of the room is a table cluttered with bowls of candies. Next to the table is a cooler of sodas and and various bleep drinks.
---------------------------
When you make your introductory post in here, make sure to describe your costume. Your username can be of a canon character, and the actual 'costume', the description, can be as creative or accurate as you care to be.
This will be going on in here and in the Bravo chat as well.
Have fun! -

A person dressed entirely in grey and with a headband with ears on and a short tail tied to their belt walks in and starts scratching.
Perhaps including real fleas in this costume was a bad idea... -

A short brown-haired girl with alert brown eyes strolls in, looking around casually. 'At least it's not a formal event...' she thinks, glad of being able to wear her orange flight-suit instead of some confining gown.
Jaina Solo, Jedi, pilot, (and pseudo-Goddess, of late) wanders aimlessly, looking for someone to talk to. At least, she feels, this is better than Hapes. -

Sheryl grinned at the newcomer, her eyes slightly unfocused, "is that a flight suit you're wearing? I guess that you're a pilot then."
She staggered over to the orange-clad woman and slung a friendly, perhaps too much so, arm over her shoulder. "I like pilots. Wanna get to know each other better?" -
"Yes, X-Wing pilot, lately of Rogue Squadron." by

Jaina blinks at the older woman, and slides out from under her arm. "I guess I arrived a bit late, then..." She wonders if it might have been better not to come here. The young Jedi can foreseee things getting awkward quite rapidly if this persists.

Removing her arm, Sheryl twirled around on the spot, somehow managing not to fall over her own feet. She'd had slightly too muck of the bleepka, which wasn't alcoholic in itself, but she had a low tolerance even for synthetic alcohol. It was a miracle she wasn't passed out in a corner by now.

Just fashionably not early.
A girl in a vaguely renaissance-looking green shirt and black leggings walks into the room, fiddling with her belt, which was actually a scarf and ought to be on her head and not her waist. Hanging from the scarf/belt is a case containing a tin whistle. She is absolutely not wearing the same thing she wears to renaissance faires every year, definitely not.
She makes a beeline for the food and descends upon any chocolate she can find, cringing away from any bubble gum or fruity candy. -

The Piper feels the briefest impulse to reach for her purse, then realizes she doesn't have a purse. "It's something by Blaise, isn't it?"

The Piper forces herself to stop eating the candy before she gets sick. She still lingers by the snacks, intrigued by the Marquis and a bit unwilling to leave him alone. She wouldn't admit the slight interest in hearing the song again, in hopes of being able to duplicate it. Such a thing was unethical, and she would never dream of it. Really.
"I've heard it can backfire. Have you ever had problems with it?" -
The Marquis shakes his head. by

"It only backfires if you're not careful." His tone suggests that that the very idea of him being less than careful is somewhat laughable.

There is a young man here who moves with the alert confidence of someone who has won many battles. His long, uneven brown hair is tied back so as to obscure little of his face and less of his vision. However, the blue-and-green mask he wears covers at least enough of his face on its own.
As our imaginary viewer's eyes travel downward, they pause on a blue cape, a slightly battered breastplate over a gray-green tunic, and a worn sword hanging from the man's belt.
After a few moments spent looking around, Felix nods, steps forward a little, and holds out his hand. Those sensitive to magical or psychic phenomena would see a giant ghostly hand spring out from his own, close gently on a cup of Hot Bleepolate, and carry it back to him; those not so sensitive would simply see the cup flying into Felix's hand. He raises the cup to his mouth, but stops as it hits the mask. His other arm moves up into a facepalm. -

His hair falls just past his shoulders, and is purple.

A young man leans against the wall, arms folded. He's wearing a black eye-mask, a long black trench/frock-coat, high black leather boots, black trousers, a dark red waistcoat and a white frilly shirt, the lace cuffs of which fall over his hands. He's also grinning in a rather worrying manner.

"But you may call me Lady." She giggles a little and sips more of her Bleepka.

Lady smiles bashfully. "Like the Marquis from Puss in Boots?" she asks.

The Marquis brushes at his lapels. "I am not a cat, after all."

Lady looked flustered. "The Marquis de Carabas was the name Puss in Boots fashioned for his master." She shrugged and finished off her Bleepka.

... her nose briefly wrinkling at the papery decor. She ignored it, smoothing her hands down the fabric of her blue dress. Most of the fabric was pulled to gather at the small of her back, where it billowed out dramatically, beautifully, save that it also acted as a dry mop for the dusty floor. Noticing this, she sighed.
"Ah, well," she muttered. "Can clean it later."
Making her way to the centre table, Madame Meru stumbled over a very small pumpkin and proceeded to kick it aside with a scowl. Reaching her goal, she took up a glass of water - yes, water, for now - and looked at her companions over the rim of her thin glasses. "May I presume that we will be guessing one another's identities at the end of this... 'party'?" -

A young girl in a red dress sneaks into the party. Her wine-red dress has a flower rosette on one shoulder and small dots of...some glitter-like substance lining the hem. She wears a brown leather belt that looks a bit like a corset.
The girl also has a mask on. It is brown, with peacock and eagle feathers trimming it. She is wearing a little makeup and her black hair is actually combed for once, and done up with a barette.
"I know I look a little Sue-ish right now, but I don't have anything else in the closet right about now," she mutters to anyone who stares at her as she makes her way to the table of bleep drinks, tripping over random pumpkins. -

A young man of indeterminate origin enters the room, and leans on a wall a ways away from Sheryl. His face is somewhat asian, but very dark. He wears a black T-shirt with "Cosa Nostra Pizza" printed on the back, and black jeans almost hiding a pair of boots. A katana, in its sheath, is strapped to his hip.

Sheryl looked up at the newcomer, cool eyes assessing him as a smile graced her lips. Pushing off from the wall she sauntered over to him.
"Hi, I don't believe I've seen you around before," Sheryl purred, running a finger down his chest. "What's your name, big boy?" She had a sort-of boyfriend, but he wasn't there and she wasn't with him as such, and no one said she couldn't flirt. -

Hiro twitched at the waist - the amputated stump of a reflexive Japanese bow rearing its head.
"Hiro Protagonist," he said with a smile. "Last of the freelance hackers and greatest swordfighter in the world."
Hiro looked down at the finger on his chest, and then back at Sheryl's face, smiling faintly.
"I'm afraid I'm already spoken for," he said. "My apologies." -

A young woman leaned on the wall, blue eyes closed as she waited for other partygoers to turn up. She wore a short, blue sleeveless dress, which was longer in the back than the front, over a half-sleeved white blouse, with a large pink bow tied around her neck. Her hands and forearms were covered by spotless white gloves, and a chunky bangle dangled from one wrist. Her pink and blonde hair was topped by a blue beret the same colour as her dress, and she wore a pair of tan-coloured knee-length heeled boots on her feet. A half-empty can of soda dangled from one hand as she flipped her hair back to reveal a single earring, an iridescent purple gem hanging delicately within a golden rhombus and connected to her ear by a wire so fine it was invisible but for the single bead halfway down it.
