"Will the journey be long and...u-um... treach... treacherous?" Out of Orbit wasn't sure where she had heard the last word, but clearly she wasn't well versed on the word's meaning.
It didn't take much coaxing to get the Filly up on her Totoro-guardian's back. Despite her lack of royal title, the young Phony didn't seem to mind the royal treatment she seemed to be receiving. Before her steed began to make the way to the treats, Confetti Daze reminded the Filly of another aspect of the party.
"P-party games?" Her eyes blinked widely as she took a look towards the tub of water and apples some other Phonies were circled around. It seemed interesting, but more importantly, it seemed fun
With a firm nod, Out of Orbit replied "Sure!"

While the appropriate reaction to the cow like abomination that now flitted about before Error shouting would have been a proper "uhhhhh...." The mer burst out into a fit of laughter, not caring if other phony thought her rude for having a giggle at the pegasus' expense. After all, that cow costume was terrifyingly thorough!
With a tilt of her head and a smile, the mare cleared her throat. "You are beautiful, although i'm quite certain you'd look even better out of those clothes," she winked. Because they were ridiculous. Anyone would look better if they took off a costume like that. Error gave a snort as her initial target wisely chose to escape Sprinkles' line of fire. "Your spunkiness is pretty cute, short stop." She bobbed her head in a nod, brushing aside a stray hair with her hoof. "You single?"
Too bad she couldn't possibly stand to stare at the god awful cow costume all night. Her eyes scanned the crowd, the right casting a glow over her companion as it finally settled on another mer heading their way. She was pretty cute too. Definitely preferable to looking at a cow all night.
Paws' attention span was not particularly great on a good day and at a busy party like this... Well, thankfully for her sister, she was easily distracted. As the strange little colt trotted up to her her eyes became wide and shiny. Compliments! How nice! How sweet! How adorable that this little foal thought she was the best phony at the whole entire party!
"OH MY GOD. THANK YOU LITTLE COLT!" She waved the confetti gun around with glee, already plotting on who to shoot with it first. With a loud giggle she twirled around happily. It would have been graceful even if her tongue hadn't been sticking out of her mouth the entire time. How nice it was to be appreciated!
With a twitch of her ear her attention was turned back to the bat wing mare. "I WOULD LOVE TO BE INTRODUCED TO THE PROFESSIONALS YOU WORK WITH!" She squealed, totally ignoring the part where the pegi mentioned she wasn't interested in having Caramell as her special some phony.

Swing smiled when Cotton offered to fix the banana colt's hat. She really seemed to like foals - something he could understand since he loved interacting with them, too. They were always getting up to something new and interesting and often had a unique perspective on things that Old Enough phonies sometimes overlooked or forgot.
Cotton seemed to share this ability, however, when she pointed out to Swing that their symbols also seemed to have a certain affiliation with one another. "Hey, you're right! I can't believe I didn't notice that," he laughed, looking from her moons to his stars. When she made the comment about stopping bad guys, though, he cast her a sly smile.
"Foam flings pretty well, actually, if you're playing catch like with a Frisbee. If you're trying to stop a bad guy, that's a different story. But tell me, does your moon tiara fare any better in that regard?" the pegasus teased with a wink. If he remembered correctly, Sailor Moon flung her tiara to stop her enemies in much the same way Captain America flung his shield. Not that he expected either of their Halloween props to perform as they did canonically, but it was fun to joke about it with someone who could get the references.
"But I doubt we'd even need a tiara or shield to take down an enemy if we worked together." It was only after he'd made the statement that Smooth Swing became aware of just how cheesy it sounded. Maybe it was okay because it might have been in-character, though. Maybe. Would Captain America have said that? He was interrupted in his pondering of this by the nearby voice of a new pegasus in a cow-and-moon costume and distracted by Macaron's interactions with both the banana foal and the newcomer.
"Glad to hear it," he remarked with a small smile when the food critic declared the edibles to be 'acceptable'. He'd been curious about those sandwiches, but whatever lingering suspicion he'd had about the mansion and its party host were forgotten for the time being. "Ratio of cheese to meet, huh? I didn't even think of that."
With the elaborate imagery in his choice of words, Swing could easily comprehend how Macaron's purpose fit him. He was surprised to find that the costumed mad hatter seemed to know the colt in the banana outfit, though not nearly as much as when Macaron identified the pegasus in the cow suit.
"Macaron? Are you alright?" He hastily tried to pat the other stallion on the back in an attempt to soothe his sudden coughing fit. Something must have gone down the wrong pipe. How come he had been so shocked to see the other phony, anyway? Could she have been one of the sisters he'd spoken of earlier?

hellooooo from across the room, Swing and others I am too lazy to quote.
Sprinkles was so pleased that the mer was enjoying her company that any intentionally innuendo went right over her floofy head."You're just the sweetest. But I'm super cozy, why would I want to take this off? It's like wearing the biggest blanket you could imagine, I'm so nice and toasty like a hot bun. Is a short stop like a short cake? I wouldn't mind one of those." At the question of if she was single, Sprinkles had to pause, "I did come with someone."
Sprinkles looked around to see if Safe Haven was anywhere to be seen, but it seemed she was abandoned and the father of her children was probably hiding from the bustle of the crowd. Which didn't bother her one single bit, as she saw her brother, Macaron. Eagerly, she waved her stubby little arm cow-spotted arm at him. "MACARON. HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. YOU LOOK NICE. LOOK AT THIS LADY, SHE LOOKS LIKE CANDY RIGHT? SHE SAYS I'M CUTE. ISN'T THAT JUST THE NICEST? DO YOU KNOW HER TOO?"
Sprinkles paused in her yelling across the room to her brother to turned to look at Error. "Do you know him? That's Macaron. He's nice too. What's your name, in case he doesn't know? Do know any of those phonies with him? I don't, but I bet they are really nice too. Do you like buns or short cakes? We should share some."

Macaron appreciated the pat on the back. It was enough to dislodge the tart from his windpipe and he inhaled deeply and dramatically. He stopped coughing long enough to hear Sprinkles shouting from across the room, somehow even over the music. She was rambling; and pink pegasus slapped a hoof to his forehead, dragging it down his face. Apparently, she had found a new friend, who thought she was cute.
"If you'll...excuse me" he said as Sprinkles turned back to the costumed phony she was talking to. "I am going to go wrangle my sister before she causes more of a scene." He bowed his head to the group, and carefully but quickly ran to where his cow sister was at.
"Sprinkles!" he said politely, though his eyes were the size of dinner plates. "What have I said about shouting to get phony's attention?"
"That sometimes you have to yell to get your point across. Or was that about flying fish at markets... I don't remember. But really, you probably shouldn't yell yourself. It's not very flattering, and you're so nice when you smile. Try it, it's addictive, like icing. S-M-I-L-E." If it was even possible, Sprinkles' eyes got wider as she spelled the word and her mouth exaggerated the motions for letter sounds.

I APPRECIATE YOUR NON-REGRET.
He dearly wanted to facehoof again. Fish markets....she was talking about fish markets...
"The flying fish are at Pike Place, in Seattle." he said, calmly. His right eye twitched as she started spelling. Always with the smiling, she and Mint! They were determined to make him as happy as they were!
"Dear Sprinkles, you know that smiling just...doesn't fit my face right. Plus my job is stressful, and..well, now is not the time to be explaining this. I hope you aren't bothering this nice lady."
Caramell tilted her head in thought, tongue slightly poking out one side. Long and treacherous? "Could be! But I would protect you!" she smiled, looking over her shoulder at her little passenger. "Nothing is going to stop us from filling our bellies though!" she mused, pausing only when Out of Orbit seemed distracted by another foal.
Looking down at Confetti Daze she half winced as he handed Paws a confetti gun. Oh dear now the party was in for it. "I hope you know what you are doing." she laughed, reaching out to pat his hat with a pawed hoof. "My sister can get really crazy!" she added, though he already seemed to have figured that out for himself. "How about we all go grab a bite and then we can hit up some party games after?" she asked the two little ones, continuing her route to the food table. Once there she eyed all the samples, her tummy now reminding her that she was quite hungry herself. "Oooooohhhh....where to start first!"

Confetti Daze grinned with glee at Paw's reaction to the confetti gun. He knew she'd be the best one to give it to. Maximum fun! Turning to look up at Caramell with the same goofy smile, he replied, "But crazy is great fun at a party! Otherwise it's just a bunch of phony standing next to each other..."
He giggled gleefully as his new friends agreed to play games after their snack, and pronked ahead to see what they had to offer. "Ooooooh," was his first reaction at seeing all the amazing cookies and snack mixes and spooky sandwiches and finger hoof-foods. Turning back towards the pair, he looked up at Orbit and chuckled, "It's a good thing I didn't dive-bomb the food, huh? This looks amazing!" Without further adieu, Confetti began to stuff his face with mummy-looking pig-in-blanket-like snacks.
"My tiara will hold up just fine, no worries!" she stated, cast him a wink and then giggled. Honestly, it probably wouldn't, not even close. His shield would probably do more damage than her tiara. At least, as far as costumes went. On other matters however....
But that was another story!
At his mention of working together, she beamed. "Naturally, we'd be unstoppable I think. Maybe not your normal super hero duo buuuuuut..." she smiled, at least until the hatter had began to choke. Worry flickered over her features and then a loud voice rang above the crowed and a adorable cow waddled by shouting at the hatter.
"Wait wait..." Cotton blinked, doing a double take.
"IS THAT A REAL WALKING PLUSH?!" she cooed, bringing her hooves to her muzzle as she cast an apologetic glance towards Smooth Swing for her outburst. Adorable squishy things were her weakness. "I must hug it......I MUST." she declared, excusing herself momentarily to latch on to the adorable cow, huggling it tight, almost tempted to take it home with her. "You are so cyyyuuuuuute!!!!!! Oh I'm going to take you home and I know JUST where I'll put you!"

Out of Orbit nodded her head at Confetti Daze's observation. "Y-yes... I don't know if anyphony would want floor food." Her mind immediately came up with an image of squished cakes smeared all over the floor. The little filly couldn't help sticking out her tongue slightly in mild disgust at the imagined scenario.
Fortunately, the food was not a squished mess, so she tucked her tongue back in her mouth and attempted to peer around the very plush shoulder of her steed. The food was indeed spooky looking, but there were a few bowls of treats that were significantly less spooky. In fact, just simple candies for anyphony to enjoy! Careful to not lean too far off of Totoro's shoulder (she did not want to fall down), Out of Orbit quietly asked "Can I have some of those brown, orange, and yellow candies?". She delicately pointed a good towards a bowl of Reese's pieces.
"Well, first I run into a cowboy, now I seem to have found his friend and a magical mystic. Must be my lucky night." Bubble floated over to the cow costumed phony and the fellow skull wearing mer. Perhaps they were the start of a new trend.
Underwater halloween couture: Skulls in style.
"Bubble Star. It's a pleasure!" Bowing her head in a small greeting the skulls at her shoulders bobbed and clattered, seaweed crinkling in dry air.
"I hope I didn't interrupt anything. I just had to come over, I almost thought I was the only mer who'd come and well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who will be shaking their tail on the dance floor." Plus her costume was divine.

A lighthearted skinny phony had sneaked quietly into the party through the back door. Bullseye held onto her long flowing blonde hair wig as she scanned the crowd. This party at the mansion does not seem so bad after all, she thought, making sure her angel wing like ears had not fallen off.
With a playful smile, the mare lowered her gaze and licked her lips. it was time to have some fun. The music inside was not bad at all and she ended up wearing the cutest dress that she owned to the ball.
Just like everyphony else, she skedaddled towards the snacks table before doing anything else. There was no way that she would pass up on free food.
She also noticed that there were babbins at this party too and was glad that she did not chose to come as Robin Hood or as Katniss. The thought of getting drunk and dropping arrows all over the place was worry-some.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile Peanut was busy trying to unnerve himself around new phonies. Cotton was goodlooking, and so was Swing! "Oh, SailorMoon I know! Caramell and Paws have posters of them! Maybe games too?" He was not quote sure about the latter but knowing that his older friends had shown him before, he was not too entirely out of the loop. "Captain A-America fights baddies like the sailorscouts?"
Looking at his own costume and poking at it with his own hoof, he turned his attention back to Swing, "I did make it myself. But I could not quite f-figure out how t-to sew the entire outfit so I made a hat instead." He shifted his hat around again and continued, "B-banana because I can't seem to figure out how to sew a peanut costume to wear. My imagination and drawing skills are terrible..."
After getting a bit more open with the new faces, he decided to introduce himself too.. "Swing...sir... M-my name is Nutter Butter, but my friends call me Peanut..." He felt his face glow hot again. Even if this dude was male, he was not sure why he blushed... But the blushing never ceased when he recieved another hug from the Cotton sailor. OMG WAS SO PRETTY. Almost tearing up from being so shy, Peanut just froze on the spot again, not saying a word as she hugged him... Wow my heart needs to stop thumping so loud, i don't know what she said, he told himself in his mind.
The chef however, had acknowledged his existence! While still being cuddled, he gave a bright white smile at MC but the bab's expression changed as he realised that the chef had choked on his food! He didn't know why at first but several seconds later, he shouted loudly and somewhat angry as he called out a name. He must know that phony quite well to go into angry mode.
Peanut watched his hero darted off towards a phony in a cow costume. why did he not think of that?! BUt whatever the case, he chased after the small crowd because he too, wanted to play with the cute cow. Maybe he could ride it too, he thought, quite positively. he was not sure whether the cow phony likes bananas or babbins or not. Whatever the case, he had to try. "C-COWWW!" he shouted out loud as he ran. "CHEFF WAIT FOR MEE."
As a stallion approached Error's face dropped, reverting to her usual blank look. Smiles and sweet words were reserved for when she needed to charm someone pretty. She watched the two siblings converse, face appearing flat and uncaring. But there was a slight twinkle of humor in her eyes as she watched the two.
"Aren't you too hot given we're in such a crowd?" Her ears flicked, lips pursing in a tight line. Not only had this little mare scared off the cute female she had actually been hitting on, but the little pegi also had a date herself. How disappointing.
"Error," she murmured. "She's not bothering me." Because right now that very mare seemed to have been attracting a crowd of other cute females to her as a yellow mare ran up to give her a hug and another mer made her way over.
Her eyes sparked with interest as a smile once lit up her face. "It's nice to meet you miss Bubble Star. My name is System Error. A lovely lady like you... You didn't happen to come with a date did you?" She winked, the air around her growing dimmer for a moment as that glowing orb shut.
