You have an unexpected invitation in your mailbox!
There's a masqerade party tonight, and you're on the guest list.  The house is easy to find, and this should be the party of the season.  Get out your favorite scary, funny, or offbeat costume -- just make sure to wear a mask.  The unveiling is half the fun!




Settle into a chair and make yourself at home.
We may still have a few last-minute arrivals, but in the meantime, enjoy yourselves.  Chat, nibble some appetizers, and look around.  Just be sure to stay away from that mysterious dark hallway, and pay no attention to those odd noises from the basement...

Jumps up and down so excited......I can't wait. I love the intro Val. I am going to look for my mask and outfit now. Giggles.


EDIT: I am coming to the Halloween party as Mother Nature. (giggles)

Very nice, Xandi.  I've seen that one a few times in my searches and squirreled it away for a story.

Ryven

I'm not coming as anything fancy.  Instead, I think I'll come as something truly horrific.



Pyramid head!

Beguile's Mistress


Ryven

Yes.  She's my +1.  She's very shy though, so don't expect her to talk much....or at all.

desert ashes

make me forget
how to breathe

leave me with the
taste of your sin
they will lie about you, insult you, hurt you,
betray you, injure  you, set you aflame and
watch you burn. but they will not, shall not,
c a n n o t, destroy  you. because  you, like
R o m e, were built  on ashes, and you, like
a phoenix, know how to rise and resurrect.

I think I'm going to have to sing the obligatory,

"It's a dead man's party; who could ask for more?
Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door.
Leave your body and soul at the door!"

Oingo Boingo Dead Man's Party

I'm thinking this is going to be my costume.

"Remember, remember the...eleventh...of October?"

No inspiration for a really gorgeous costume, so I'm going with the bad hairday option, as :

Right now, mingling.  I'll move things along sometime in the next few hours, most likely.  :)

Lovely costumes so far!  Well, except Ryven's.  *cough*

Go ahead and vote -- a pumpkin cookie to the first person to do so! -- and don't forget to mingle and have fun.  :)

Hey!  It took a lot of thought and work to put that costume together.  Not to mention getting someone to offer up themselves as a prop.

Valerian

I think that costume was chosen specifically to make people too afraid to vote for you.  *nods*

Either that or just show that I have my hands full.  I can't steal masks if I'm already holding a sword and a body. ::)

well I was looking at his avatar actually and lusting. But didnt want to offend the pyramid head so thought about Ry being under that costume.

Lady, that explains a LOT, LOL. And yeah.. uhm, okay...I won't go further than this as Ry's avatar doesn't inspire PG-13 thoughts....

Damn. Sorry. Guilty as charged, I suppose.

Autumn52

are we suppose to vote yet or does Val say something else and then we vote? I get confused sometimes about that.

Huggles to all the partygoers who have had their masks removed. Pouts I was really looking forward to being right about Ryven. Pouts.

Sorry Ryven please feel free to haunt me in games when you become a ghost.  For now enjoy all the muffins you like in the kitchen.

Valerian

There's no voting just yet, but you can chit chat if you like -- this is the part where we wait for the final answers from the folks who have things to do when the lights go out.  Game-related things, I mean.  ;)

Thank Val. I thought we were suppose to wait. Giggles you would think with as many of these games as I have been in that I would know that.

Curses! Foiled again! Well, I suppose it had to happen, sooner or later.   

And now, as promised...

If he's a spectre would this be his after-afterlife?

Beguile's Mistress

Is there life in the after-after life?

Ryven

Clearly since he's able enough to grope Val!

Remiel

Wooooo! I'm a naughty ghost!  *ghost-gropes Ryven*

Ryven

Ahh!  Bad touch!  Bad touch!  *shivers*  You're hands are cold too!  If you're going to be groping, at least do it with some gloves.

Ryven

Val, there should be 1 monster left.  You still have Remiel listed.

Valerian

I knew something didn't look right, as I was frantically posting before racing off to lunch.  Heh.  Thanks.  :)

Why doesn't anyone ever believe me? I'm always telling the truth. *laughs* I got pretty far that time, but now the monsters will almost assuredly win. That was fun!

Marikir

*laughs*

Well, I don't quite agree with the Mafia having to outnumber the Village.  Especially with only 2 Mafia, but, oh well.  I've seen it more often where they have to tie the the number of villagers left to win.  Seems odd to leave it down to a random roll of the dice.  I'll put this down as a win in my own personal book. 

Thanks for the game!  It was fun.

Thank you to Remiel as well for being a really good Mafia partner.

Remiel

Curses! Defeated by the dice!

Ah, well.  *cackles and ghost-gropes everyone*  Marikir, you were splendid! Splendid indeed.  You know you're doing a good job when the last few innocents try to convince you, a monster, to vote for each other.    I wonder if Valerian is ever as amused by these games as I was during the last couple of rounds.  I was particularly amused by this:

QuoteMoirae protects Marikir.
