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.

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.

"Hey, good to see you two," Sirius said, smiling and taking the cupcakes from Fay to put on the table. "Thanks for the food, Fay. There's plenty to drink if you want some, even if the flavors are a little odd. Can't change them," he added, frowning, "but the licorice isn't bad."

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

"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.

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

"Who's a nudist now?" James asked, catching sight of the boys and walking up to them at possibly the wrong moment.

"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.

"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.

"Edward Scissorhands!" Katou said, indignantly. "Please, it should be obvious."

He grinned at the drinks. "Don't mind if I do. It's been a while since I've had some good drinks. What are they?"

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.

"Don't know him," he admitted. "Some sort of muggle television program?" he guessed.

"Er, some sort of licorice, orange, and herbal shit. It's not bad even if it is suspiciously magic resistant."

"Movie," he said. Then he frowned. "But I don't think it's a 'muggle' thing." After all, a muggle was a joint.

He frowned at the drinks a little, and then went to grab a glass of the orange shit. After a glass or two, depending how it tasted, he might need to go get himself some coke.

"It isn't?" Sirius said, confused. "Hmm, maybe it's just not an English thing? Anyway, enjoy."

"Thanks for the booze!" said Katou. And then, "Where did you get it from?"

"Where does anyone get it?" he asked. "Crowley, of course."

Sirius hadn't spoken to Katou since he's returned, and wasn't aware that he'd lost his memory, so he simply assumed Katou still was friends with Crowley.

"Really?" Katou asked. "All right, thanks." After all, Katou was going to throw himself a party sooner or later, and he needed alcohol for that.

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.

Cayce snorted. "You must've caught him in a mood. On the bright side, you can probably add soda water to any of these and make something drinkable out of any of them." She sipped the Green and winced slightly -- despite being somewhat accustomed to Crichton and Jackson's Disneyland Special, the Green had its own special sort of bite that was entirely different. "Too bad he didn't send along any creme de menthe, or I could've taught you how to make a Girl Scout Bus Plunge. Of course, we don't have any Girl Scout Cookies either."
