James and Sirius, for today an accountant and a dentist, respectively, put the finishing touches on the Haunted Mansion (they had started the night before, and upon finding that in the morning their changes were still there, they had been quite pleased and finished up). Now that the room where the ceiling rose was magicked so that everyone would fit in it and still have plenty of space to move. On top of that, they had magically rewired the loudspeakers to the room, put up some spooky decorations, and even completed it with fake, scary looking ghosts (they had both been quite disappointed in the morning to discover that some of their ruder decorations, including hot, naked ghosts, were removed).

Then, James began to write the letters, and started some music.



Crowley,

We're throwing a party at the Haunted Mansion. Do you think you could provide refreshments? Feel free to come as well.

- James Potter and Sirius Black

Then, identical letters were sent out to everyone in the park.

Hey,

There will be a Halloween party at the Haunted Mansion in New Orlean's Square. Come around and have a great time. Also, if you have drinks or food that you want to bring to share, feel free.

- James Potter and Sirius Black

On the bottom of the paper, there's a witch flying on a broom, actually moving around on the paper.

The return letter comes wrapped around the necks of a few bottles of unlabeled liqueurs. The liquid in one of them is orange, one is green, and the third is black. They are orange flavoured, herbal, and liquorice respectively.

Gentlemen,

These vile things were on my bar. I suspect someone wants you to have them. I would rather drink paint thinner, but I suppose they're better than nothing.

-Crowley

When Sirius received the alcohol he couldn't help but grumble-- it had been hard enough for James to prevent him from allowing his personal feelings on people who hoard all the alcohol from coming through in the letter, and the meager allotment was testing his last rich entitled bastard nerve.

Fortunately, he was a wizard, and even though he couldn't create good alcohol out of nothing, he could still charm the alcohol to last longer and change the flavor and brand.

Less fortunately, he found that although he could charm the bottles to replenish themselves, the alcohol remained orange, herbal, and licorice. He frowned and took a sip of the licorice and shrugged. It wasn't too bad, anyway.

Crowley,

Knew we could count on your generosity. Feel free to ask if you ever need anyone to return the favor.

Completely sincerely,

Sirius and James

With that out of the way, he turned on the music and began pouring drinks, waiting for people to arrive.

((Sorry Crowley XD Sirius=spoiled stubborn prat))

Fay had slightly mixed feelings about being in the Haunted Mansion again - on the one hand, he was incredibly jumpy, but on the other he harboured a kind of fondness for it because it was the place he and Kurogane had confessed, and the mage was very glad of that.

"Sirius-san~?" he called. "I've brought food~!" And he had, for nothing could stop Fay taking food to a party. He was carrying two plates of little Halloween-themed cakes (the decorations had appeared in the cupboards of their own accord, and so he used them), and Kurogane had been given the biscuits.

[vowtoprotect.livejournal.com]

So Kurogane was, indeed, carrying biscuits, and looking very slightly uncomfortable. They'd gone to one other thing like this, the Christmas party, and there they had gotten... distracted, and hadn't stayed long. Kurogane wasn't very good with big social occasions.

"Been a while since we've been here," he muttered to Fay, alluding to the occasion that, unknown to him, Fay was thinking of himself.

[kuchiki.livejournal.com]

Rukia arrived a few minutes after Kurogane and Fay, in costue no less -- she was wearing a children's Snow White gown she'd found in one of the shops. There were, apparently, some advantgaes to being little. She was also carrying a chocolate pizza (http://community.livejournal.com/dizzy_land/83131.html?thread=5731003#t5731003), similar to the one she'd made with Fry.

[grimsirius.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Rukia," Sirius grinned, "Nice costume. Er, what's it supposed to be, exactly?"

He noticed the chocolate pizza she was carrying and grinned. "Thanks for bringing food, drinks are on the table. Can I pour you a glass of anything? By anything I mean licorice, orange, or herbal." He wrinkled his nose, but was smiling.

[caycep]

Cayce didn't bother with a costume, but what the hell -- a party was a party, after all, and she wanted distraction.

She picked up a glass of Green and gave it a sniff. "Who brought the Chartreuse?" she asked no one in particular. Because it had that distinctive herbal-shampoo-meets-mint smell.

[grimsirius.livejournal.com]

"You can thank Crowley for refreshments, of course," Sirius grinned. "Or maybe the park, since we can't even transfigure them."

[average-adam.livejournal.com]

Adam thought he should probably socialize more, so he made an effort to come off his island and attend the party. He was wearing vaguely piratical garb (http://www.notquiteroyal.net/linnpuzzle/good_omens/thempirates_av.jpg) that he found in the Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop, but somehow on him it was more than the sum of its parts, looking far more real than any costume with that much plastic should.

Glancing around, the young man caught sight of a woman dressed in black and went over to introduce himself. He'd been meaning to speak to her for a while.

"Hi, I'm Adam. You're Cayce, right?" It wasn't really a question.

[ningyou-hime.livejournal.com]

Chii would have gone with Fay and Kurogane, but she had been too busy trying to understand how her hair should look, then ended up giving up. Maybe she should have asked Fay to do it for her, but she didn't want to be a bother. Dressed in a Sleeping Beauty princess dress, Chii showed up with some random cookies she had helped Fay bake. She didn't know the people that had invited her -- she didn't even know what haunted meant -- but she liked the dress, was smiling as she entered, offered out the goodies, and bowed.

"Chii humbly thanks you for the invitation, and has brought sweets, James Potter-san and Sire-us Black-san." She mispronounced Sirius, though, attempting to sound out each letter carefully.

[grimsirius.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome, Chii," Sirius said in his most gentlemanly voice. The girl was pretty damn cute, even he had to admit. "You look very pretty in your costume. It's Sir-i-us, by the way," he added, pronouncing it slowly.

[snitchnicker.livejournal.com]

James couldn't help but shoot a grin at Sirius as she butchered his name. Even if she wasn't completely adorable, he wouldn't've corrected her, but he was even less likely now.

"Thank you very much," said James, and then bowed back.

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

Setsuna glared a bit when he got poked, but easily he said, "Of course. What's the point in coming if I don't?" Plus, since Kira didn't bother to censor how much Setsuna had last time, the kid was looking forward to it yet again.

He, of course, wasn't dressed up. Setsuna had enough of that stuff after the French maid outfit, and was relieved to just be himself. Although, he looked Kira over and told him, "I think you should have come as a nudist."

[katoustheshit.livejournal.com]

Katou showed up sometime later, dressed as Edward Scissorhands. Lucifer might have been better suited to play the role, but Katou didn't make a bad one. The clothes were the best he could do with what he was given here, but the actual face and look of him was pretty much perfect. That, and he had a claw for an arm.

[grimsirius.livejournal.com]

"What are you supposed to be?" Sirius asked, glancing at the costume. "Well, good of you to come, drinks on the table and all that," he added.

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

Avoiding the drinks until Kira wasn't around them, Setsuna went first to the one person he didn't recognize, but for some reason, the aura felt familiar. That meant he probably knew this person, right?

"Who are you...?" The kid asked, missing the mechanical arm completely in all of his obliviousness.

[unclouded-rose.livejournal.com]

Though she was certain it wasn't even fall yet back 'home' at What Rocks, it seemed that Jeliza had arrived just in time for Halloween. It wasn't hard to find a costume, all she had to do was look inside a couple of shops. She'd taken over an hour deciding, but finally the golden Belle dress won her over. Though, if she'd known where to find the Alice costumes, the choice would have been a no-brainer.

"Trick or treat!" She called to announce herself, giggling as she helped herself right away to a nearby cookie.

[grimsirius.livejournal.com]

When Sirius heard a little girl say trick or treat, he broke out in a grin. He had seen enough television to know muggle children went trick-or-treating in costume on Halloween. He quickly summoned some candy from Main Street and approached her.

"Hello," he said cheerfully. "Erm, what a scary costume! Candy?"

That was definitely how it was supposed to go.

[a-lonely-god.livejournal.com]

The Doctor had recently discovered where his mail was delivered to –and had been quite surprised to discover that he actually had mail–

Remembering what Una had said about the last party, he decided he would go to this one, and, because the invitation suggested it, he brought drinks. And the Master.

With a bottle of 1993 François Pinon in one hand he stepped into the Haunted Mansion ride and stopped immediately, staring.

“What?” he exclaimed.

[grimsirius.livejournal.com]

"Er, hello," Sirius said when the Doctor arrived, wondering what the reason was for his outburst. Then he noticed the bottle. "You brought drinks! That aren't orange and herbal and liquorice! Our hero!"

[skaffenamtiskaw]

Skaffen-Amtiskaw was bored and irritable, a dangerous combination.

On hearing that there was a party in the offing, it decided that it could do little worse than to see what the fleshy ones were getting up to for amusement these days. It drifted into the Haunted Mansion, floating about two metres and change off the ground -- high enough to clear the heads of the tallest, but low enough to be seen in peripheral vision.

Its aura was a faintly metallic grey in colour. To anyone who knew Culture drone auras well, this would be a sign not to engage the thing in conversation.

[grimsirius.livejournal.com]

Sirius didn't know Culture drone auras well. "Hello there!" he said when the drone arrived. "You're one of those Star Wars things, aren't you?" Sirius had, in fact, seen Star Wars many times and was a fan even if a lot of it went over his head. One of the many things he'd missed was that robots weren't a concept invented just for those movies.

"I forget, do you lot drink?"

Leon could not remember ever being this bloody happy in his life, and to make his perfect life even perfecter, there was going to be a party with alcohol, which was absolutely perfect.

With a smoke hanging from his mouth, and a giant grin plastered on his face, and his step with a definite bounce in it, Leon entered the Haunted Mansion.

"He~llo~" he sang, as he walked in to the room. "How's everyone doing~?"

[caveatempter.livejournal.com]

D followed Leon in, looking... slightly exhasperated, though in a clearly amused way. He was no longer handcuffed to the man, holding a tray of sweets from the Candy Palace in his hands; living there, and reading on the invitation that they would like guests to bring refreshments, there was very little doubt that he would have done this.

"Good evening," he greeted, much more downkey than the detective.

[grimsirius.livejournal.com]

Sirius was grateful to the Doctor for his supply of alcohol-- he had finished as much of the herbal as he could stand and while it had definitely gotten him to where he wanted to be, the gin was much better for it. It didn't take long until it was almost as though he didn't even remember his conversation with Rukia (http://community.livejournal.com/dizzy_land/186146.html?thread=10875170#t10875170), and if he put those thoughts out of mind, maybe he could go back to enjoying throwing a Halloween party with his best friend.

He tried to pour another glass, and frowned, watching the gin pour over his fingers instead of into his cup. The gin was almost out again, and he couldn't remember how to do a replenishing charm anymore. He'd have to find James.

"Prongs," he called out. "C'mere an' fix the gin."

((Feel free to come harass the drunk wizard!))

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Fay appeared next to Sirius, frowning and looking rather concerned. "I think maybe you've had enough gin, Sirius-san," he said gently. Sometimes being drunk was funny, but this was the not-funny, destructive kind of drunk, that had no meowing involved at all.

[scary-vampkitty.livejournal.com]

Duzell had been taking a cat-nap. When he woke up, he noticed that Kira, Sestuna, and their new roommate, Katou or something, weren't there. He frowned, cried for them, and upon confirming that they weren't in the theatre, he turned back to himself.

It took him a while to finally check his mail box, and as a result, he was pretty late. He didn't know what Halloween was, and if he had, maybe he would have come in his true form. Instead, he came looking like Ishtar, in his white, turtletop muscle shirt, and black, semi-baggy trousers. He suspected that Setsuna, Kira, and the Katou guy would probably all be there.

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

Not knowing about the Ishtar from -- and as all three forms had different auras -- Setsuna thought at once this new arrival was someone he'd never met before.

He wanted to drag Katou along with -- not bothering with an explanation -- and so, drunk as he was, Setsuna at once walked up to the new comer and introduced himself as, "Hi. I'm Setsuna. Are you single?"

[palletkid.livejournal.com]

Ash was dressed up as a magician, and Pikachu was wearing its own matching magician hat and costume. He would have preferred a cooler costume, but there wasn't much variety. He walked inside looking for James and Sirius, who were supposed to have invited him, but they didn't seem to be around. If he knew what they looked like. It was too bad, because he'd brought some Halloween candy for them.

He went over to the table and took a cookie, handing one to Pikachu as well. Then he poured himself a drink of the orange looking stuff, and took a big gulp.

"Uh, this is pretty weird juice," he said, making a face.

[katoustheshit.livejournal.com]

"Really?" said Katou, raising his eyebrow at Satoshi. "I don't think it's weird at all."

Setsuna had left, and Katou was going to stay behind, like Setsuna had asked him to. He wasn't sure how he felt about that, but he knew he would have liked it better if he could have felt Setsuna's pain. At least then he would've known what to say to make it better.

Still, if Katou was going to stay at the party, he was going to have a damn good time at it.

"As a Pokemon master, I drink this stuff all the time." Seriously. Drunk Satoshi would be the greatest thing ever.
