Hey! You said I could say that part.

Oh, right, um, go ahead. 

Yes! Halloween is upon us, and we have decided - 

You forgot the quote.

What?

The Goodrich quote. You were going to say it at the beginning of the speech. 

Oh, right. Um, werewolves howl, phantoms prowl, etc etc etc.

That's not how the quote goes.

I DON'T CARE.

Um, guys, we're supposed to be introducing the party. 

Well, I would be, but SOMEONE interuppted.

I just thought you were saying the quote.

Well I can say whatever I want!!

Oook, take two -

Werewolves howl, phantoms prowl, halloween's upon us now. --Richelle E. Goodrich. So we have decided to throw a party!  

Anybody can attend, whether you are an AE, CAPTCHA, CBer, CaptchAE, or some unidentified species. All are welcome!

But you have to wear a costume!

I'm still not wearing a costume. 

Yes you are.

No I'm not.

Yes you -

Anywho. The party will be in The Park, and we'll have plenty of food, but feel free to bring some spooky treats!

And there's a HAUNTED HOUSE!

Yes, yes, and yes. There will also be a picnic pavilion for the CBers to all hang out, dance, and chat, and a separate pavilion for AEs (although feel free to intermingle)

Don't forget your costumes! The party will start on October 24. Sorry for the short notice, but we are not avid party planners. Well, Diana is, but the rest of us aren't.

Can someone just write my character into the story, I thought it was a ski logde, my mistake, If no one can, then I will write it myself.

I also thought it was a solo write, so I didn't think I'd actually have to write something. If y'all want to write my character into your stories you can, but you don't have to, though I would love to be in it.

This is neither, it is not a ski lodge nor a solo write. This is an AE party, where your AEs get to roleplay and meet other AEs.

I know. I originaly thought it was a solo write by The Majestic Team. That's why I said people could just use my character since I didn't want to write anything for this.

Pine~

I pull my hood up and dramtically leap out of the nearest shadow. I land behind Majestic Mary, windmilling my arms as I try not to fall over. Felix pops out behind me and Starlight appears a short distance away.
"Sorry- Im not that good at shadow travel," I say, but Mary just laughs. I grab Felix's hand and shoot him a look. He nods at me and we hurry off the stage, my cloak fluttering wildly as the wind catches it. Felix stiffles a laugh and I stick out my tongue at him, scowling.
We meet up with Starlight and she pulls a bag out of the shadow next to her.
"Pine, dont forget the cookies." She says, and then my sister pops out of sight.
Felix finds the food table and we dump out the bag of ghost cookies, pumpkin bars, and butterscotch crumbs.
"I told you not to eat any!" I yell at Starlight, who's quietly arranging her basket of flowers on the table.
"I didnt do anything, you idiot, dont you think SKY would eat them?" she shouts back. I groan and scowl at her, then reply,
"Okay, jerkface, I'll give her a call and lets see if thats true!"
"Why dont you?!? Scared that Im right?" Starlight challenges, and I feel like screaming at her.
"IM NOT SCARED OF YOU!" I screech, then Felix has his hand over my mouth.
"Calm down, guys, I ate the cookies. Stop fighting." He says sheepishly.
Starlight sticks her tongue out and jumps into a shadow. I push Felix's hand off my face and frown at him.
"Dont you know how long it took to make those?" I say, but its hard to stay angry at my boyfriend, and besides, I have a feeling he's lying. 
"Not that long, to be honest." He grins and grabs my hand. 
"Come on, I heard theres a maze! Lets get lost and find a place to talk, alright?" Felix doesnt wait for an answer and so we head toward the maze silently. Once we're deep in the winding paths and have absoloutely no idea which way is out, I point down a dead end and we sit on the dry grass. 
"You didnt actually eat them, did you?" 
"Of course not. I was calming you down." He says, snuggling next to me. I twist a leaf between my fingers and smile.
"Thats why I love you, you big doofus. You hate conflict so much its funny." I say, grinning.

My awkward little AE is getting a ship request?? Oh my gosh, that's so cool! YES! 

Winter--

I smile as casually as I can as an AE named Galaxy introduces a bunch of people, and a different CBer jumps in to introduce even more. I forget all the names immediately. Great, and now it's too awkward to ask. Should I ask?

I bite my lip and decide not to ask, at least for the time being.

I glance to the fringe of the group and notice someone standing there... two seconds later, I'm pretty sure I'm staring. I think their name is Adrian? They seem quiet and kind of uncomfortable, which I can totally identify with. Shy, almost elusive, too. It would be hard to break them out of their shell.

But I'm willing to try.

Oops, and Adrian just asked me how I'm doing. I need to answer or I'll seem rude, but I have to say something other than "pretty good," like I always do.

"Um... pretty good." Rats. "You're... Adrian, right?" Double rats. They must think I'm an idiot. Maybe saying something else will cover up my mistake, or maybe it'll make it worse.

"Have you tried the mochi that someone brought? I- um, it's good, right?"

Ahh yay! I'm happy. :)

~~||Adrian||~~

"Um... pretty good." He says. "You're... Adrian right?" He stops and I will him to keep talking. I like his voice. "Have you tried the mochi that someone brought? I- um, it's good right?" He asks next. I smile, and it's a rare one, too. "Y-yes. I-i'm A-adrian. W-what's your n-name? I never g-got it." I question first. Then I respond to his second question. "Y-yeah, I-i have. M-my C-cBer brought it. I-it t-tastes l-like ice c-cream. It's g-good." I say, smiling again. My stomach feels fluttery. I've never felt like this before. I realize I'm staring again and I blush. I scoot down and I gesture for him to sit down. "H-here. T-take a s-s-seat."

Winter--

"H-here. T-take a s-s-seat," Adrian stammers. I smile quietly (and not too awkwardly, I hope) and perch on the edge of the seat. It's sweet how they made room for me. Well, everything about them is sweet, to be honest.

"I um... I once tried plain mochi. It wasn't very--I mean, it tasted fine, it just--I guess it wasn't what I expected. I thought it would taste like ice cream. But, you know, it didn't." I give a nervous laugh. Yes! I'm continuing a conversation with a cute AE! This is amazing!

"Oh, r-really?" It doesn't sound sarcastic when Adrian says it, unlike most people, who would probably be rolling their eyes at this point.

"Yeah, um..." I make the mistake of looking up, and completely lose my train of thought. It just-- their eyes just catch me by surprise. I quickly realize I'm staring, look away, hope I'm not as obvious about this as I feel.

"Yeah," I finish quickly. I clench and unclench my hands. "Do you want to--maybe, I mean, you obviously don't have to-- I mean, do you want to go get some more of that mochi? I don't know, I just thought, we both thought it was good, maybe--" Cut it out, Winter! I slam my mouth shut before I break some kind of rudeness record and wait for their response.

~~||Adrian||~~

Winter flashes a small, cute smile and takes a seat next to me. I smile back. He has made me smile more tonight than I have in five years. I feel happy, less invisible. "I um... I once tried plain mochi. It wasn't very--I mean, it tasted fine, it just--I guess it wasn't what I expected. I thought it would taste like ice cream. But, you know, it didn't." Winter says, with a nervous laugh. I try to say something to make him feel less nervous. "Oh, r-really?" I notice he's looking down, at his feet. "Yeah, um..." He looks up and our eyes meet, for that moment, it felt like everything in the world was possible, if he was there. He looks away and I feel sad, but I get it. "Yeah," He says again. "Do you want to--maybe, I mean, you obviously don't have to-- I mean, do you want to go get some more of that mochi? I don't know, I just thought, we both thought it was good, maybe--" He stops, embarrassed of himself. Winter's voice calms me, it makes me feel like I matter. "Y-y-yes. I w-w-would l-love to g-go get mochi. A-and I'm g-going to m-m-make you t-try my f-favorite k-k-k-kind." I say, with another smile and my stomach twists up again. I stand from the bench and Winter does the same. I decide to try my luck and I hope it doesn't blow up in my face. I take his hand and look down at our hands. Light and dark. I look up into his eyes. "I-I-Is this ok-k-kay?" I say. It feels right.

---------Kitty Cat----------

“Why did I let you drive?” I say
grasping the seat of the car.

“Because your only 13 and you don’t
have your driver’s license yet.” I roll my eyes and cross my arms.

“Hey why didn’t you dress up for
the Halloween party?” I ask.

“Because I am not going to the
stupid Halloween party.”

“Gosh, Martin you’re such a jerk.”
He looks at me and glares.

“Martin! Look at the road! You
almost ran over that poor old lady!” He rolls his eyes and looks at the road
with wide eyes like he’s concentrating on something.

“Oh stop over exaggerating Martin.”
Martan pulls over into the park and runs over a bush.

“My gosh Martin, can you please
remind me to NEVER ask you for a ride again? Thanks.” I give him a fake smirk.

“Fine.”

“Bye Kitty.” He’s yells at me.

“Bye Dweeb.” I say with a smirk.

“Hey! I was nice enough to say
‘kitty’ instead of dweeb but apparently you aren’t nice enough to say MARTIN.
You made the mistake little missy of letting me drive you to the party and
telli-” I slam the door shut before I have to hear Martin whine again. But I
stop in my tracks. Oh No. I forgot the crème puffs. I run to the car just in
time to catch martin before he drove away.

“MARTIN! MARTIN! LET ME IN!” I bang
on the door of the car. He finally unlocks the car and lets me in.

“I forgot my crème puffs.” I search
around and lock eyes on the dessert before Martin eats them. I get done before
I have to Say a word to Martin. Until he speaks to me.  

“Y’know you’ll have to find a ride
home.”

“What do you mean? You’re my ride.”
I’m very confused.

“I distinctly remember you telling me to not
give you a ride ever again. So in
that case I can’t give you a ride home!” Jerkdweeb shuts the car door in my
face and drives away. Now I’m left out here in the park alone.

 

I'll post more  later!

Until I realize some people on a
park bench, I would come over to them, but they don’t see me and it might be a
little scary to see a figure approaching you on Halloween. I walk over to a
bench that looks a little over-used, but It’s far away, so I decide to sit on
it. I set my crème puffs down waiting for someone else to come and tell me
where to put them. I take out my sketchbook and pencil and start to draw, just
some doodles of random people, until my pencil breaks and I don’t have a spare.
I decide to take off my coat and pop on my fingerless cat gloves. I’m so bored
and all I can hear is someone playing a drum solo on a bench table and some
whispers. I don’t know many people here and I don’t know if any of them are
coming. I only know Nerdface is coming and I don’t know her too well. I’m so
bored for a while Until a DRAGON flies into the park. I want to greet everyone
but they all seem to flock over to Nerdface.

“HELLO EVERYONE!” A speaker yells
into a microphone. I scream very loudly and I realize I had fallen asleep. I cover
my lips with my fingers. Maybe everyone thought it was a sound affect. The
speaker continues.

“Welcome to our 2020 Halloween
party! It's going to be a night full of tricks, treats, and fun activities! In
case you haven't noticed, we've got a spookiful haunted house" I look over
to where she is pointing. There is an old looking house that I don’t want to go
into, not because I’m scared, because I don’t want it to topple over on me and
me become a ghost on Halloween.

"We've also got a massive corn
maze, for anyone who wants to try it out. And of course, we have our giant
buffet tables. We're prepared to have a ton of fun!" Oh that must be the
buffet table. I walk over to it and set down my crème puffs. Someone runs right
over and eats a ton of random food, she picks up one of my crème puffs and eats
it. A girl dressed in a grim reaper costume walks over to me and says;

“Hi”

“Hey, cool costume.” I say.

“Well, bye!” she says. Then she
just walks away. I figure I don’t fit in much and I just want to hide. Until I
glance over and smirk.

“The corn maze! I’ll hide in the
corn maze!” I run towards the Massive Corn Maze and run to the farthest corner
and sit down. No one was coming and I didn’t hear any voices for a while. Until
I hear a voice. Then Another. Then just one more.

“Oh No” I hear  the voices come closer and One sounds like
Nerdface and the other Nightfall, but I can’t place the other.

I'll post EVEN more tommorow or later.  Nerdface and Nightfall can right any about them meeeting me.

Are you saying I'm lowly? Because I'm a mammal.

...Yes. Yes, actually I am.

I was just insulted by a CAPTCHA.

You were.

Ugh. 

Personality: Extrovert, the only one in Luminescence Inc. who has any sense, except for maybe Lumi. Positive, slightly mischievous, confident, a bit of a prankster.

Be QUIET. I didn't interrupt you so don't interrupt me. 

Personality: Realistic,

-more like incredibly pessimistic.

That's just because you're incredibly optimistic.

That was rhetorical!

Clarification: Blaze is coming as Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII. Who died. But that's beside the point. I personally think Anne Boleyn would have been better but Blaze disagrees and who am I to-
