Lila had basically commandeered Astrid's birthday months ago, all but demanding that Astrid let her plan her party while... it was still Faye's birthday. By the time she is done decorating, it looks like Pintrest collided with Queen Regina and puked black and white Halloween drama all over the room. Glittery skulls, blood red candy apples, candles flickering in black lacquered candelabras. Is that raven real? Probably. Is that skeleton real?

Maybe. Y'all don't know what tricks this girl can do. Maybe Slenderman will show up.

The lights are dim and there is an entire table stacked with cupcakes and cookies and other assorted nibbles and hor d'oeuvres, shoved up against the bar where bottles of every kind of alcohol imaginable are just spread out willy nilly amongst mixers and juices. Bet your ass there is Fireball around. There's soda and punch for the teetotalers, but with far less variety than the liquor. There are even party favor bags for the end of the night stuffed with nips of peach schnapps, Jagermeister, and cranberry juice (the recipe for a red headed slut) and various jewels and baubles, plastic Starbucks cups, hella neon nail polish. And condoms. They are all jammed with condoms.

Invitations aren't sent so much as Lila and Astrid invite every single person they know and don't loathe. Costumes are a requirement, but presents are just highly encouraged. But it's Astrid's birthday, okay? Presents are a must.

And no one is allowed to dress like Jessica Rabbit on pain of... well, pain.

Lara Croft! [i'm too lazy to do the exact pop culture check math but she got it ok.] I love it. [but she loves all well-done halloween costumes.] Be careful with the weapon, I don't want to have to go on duty at my own party.

[risked]

[Allison nods.]Thanks, yours is really good too -- and I'll probably put the bow down after a while. All the alcohol, plus weaponry - I know a bad mix when I see it.

Happy birthday, too. [Because she's good at that sort of thing.]

[pathology]

Thanks! Lila did most of the planning, for the party, but it was basically exactly what I wanted. I love Halloween. It's like, the best.

[risked]

[Allison smiles.] Is that because you were born close to the holiday -- or is there some other reason why it's the best?

[pathology]

That's a reason I love it so much. But I'm really into the dress-up part, too.

[risked]

Well, you look amazing. I can see how that would be a favorite thing for you.

[pathology]

I've been preparing this costume for like months. [a month. shhh.] There are worse things in the world to be intense about, so whatever.

[risked]

There's definitely nothing wrong with enjoying a hobby.

[pathology]

Unless it's murder.

[risked]

Good point. [Allison smirks.]

Do you know all of these people?

[pathology]

A lot of them, but not all. Lila is the one who planned the party, I let her invite her some of her friends. I trust her taste.

[risked]

[Allison nods.]

I think I recognize a few faces, but I definitely don't know most of them.

[pathology]

Well, as far as I can tell, most of them are pretty legit if you're in the market to make new friends.

[risked]

[Allison smiles.] They get the Astrid Gold Star of Approval?

[pathology]

Yep! And I don't just give those out, either.

[idk she kind of does tho...]

[risked]

[Allison smiles, laughing a bit.]

I almost want to try and find you a roll of gold star stickers so that you can actually give them out.

[pathology]

You don't think that would be ... inappropriate?

[risked]

It's a star of approval... not of negativity. [Allison shrugs.] Maybe not entirely tasteful, but it's not horribly offensive either.

[pathology]

You know I'm German, right?

[risked]

[Aaand then it clicks.]

Okay. I didn't even go that direction. Definitely not a good direction.

[pathology]

It's fine. But yeah. Probably a bad idea.

[risked]

[Allison nods.] You should get back to your other guests. I'll be social.
