Melvin turned around, his back to the counter, and crossed his arms.

Faced with a Rodney the likes of which he’d never quite experienced Lawrence had no real option but to obligingly comply and taste the drink he quickly found pressed to his lips. He felt the arrogance and self-righteousness ebb away, replaced by something much darker and more violent. The orange faded back to his usual pale complexion. He seemed even more relaxed, draped in Rodney’s arms decadently.
“Oh /yes/, that one is much much better.” He exhaled, setting his former drink aside.
Turning his attention on the rest of the room he smirked a dark and evil sort of smirk. There was part of him – meticulously supressed lately- which felt like it had just jarred awake after a long sleep, the part that wanted to slink at night and follow people home to their beds, the part that wanted to get hold of a throat and /grip/. It was an intense feeling and one that seemed to tug at him somewhere behind his stomach, urging him to action almost compulsively. It was a thrill, one which should have felt forbidden or problematic but which no longer did.
He glanced at Nash.
“How do you feel about some entertainment?” he asked Rodney in a low breathy voice. Butch whined uncertainly in his head.
--
Meanwhile, Mikael was happily helping himself to what was on offer, stuffing his face with food from what was on offer, tasting almost everything one bit at a time. It was like being a maid, only a maid who was helping to clean up the tables. He hadn’t had so many sweets in months and was having an absolute blast. Deciding to get some of the cocktails on offer to wash it down he reached for the first one that looked appealing, taking a long swig of it. It tasted delicious and barely alcoholic at all, yet its effects were immediate, the buzz of alcohol accompanied by another more potent effect.
He looked down at himself as suddenly he found himself completely able to see his internal organs and bones, every part of him turned a little bit like jelly in colour, able to see the guilty amount of food in his stomach that he’d just eaten and everything else besides, his modesty if one could call it such preserved only by his ridiculous costume. He looked startled, suddenly feeling more naked than even his scanty outfit had made him feel, before deciding to just embrace it because he wasn’t hurt.
“Look Malkam!” he laughed, gesturing at himself. “I think I look good inside and out.” And he struck a ridiculous pose.
--
Lysander was eating as much fried chicken as he could possibly get away with, slinging his ghost costume around his shoulders. It tasted so good after weeks of no junk food that he was on the absolute brink of tears of joy. He might not have had horses but at least today there was this, this wonderful, wonderful thing. There was bountiful food, bountiful drink and no one to tell him he didn’t have any wages so didn’t deserve it. Halloween had climbed the rankings for him to one of his favourite holidays in one fell swoop.
He wondered as he took another bite of a chicken leg if he’d be allowed to bring some of the leftovers home at the end of the party.
Glancing over at Ros he gave him a smirk. “Ros get me a drink would you?”
--
Rep finally got up the courage to saunter out from behind the bar and mingle a bit, lazily making his way over to Seren and raising a brow at her. “Don’t think I’ve met you in person before.” He said with a smirk. “If there’s anything I can do for you and your mate there, just let me know.”

Mara came in soon enough, telling the boys not to wait up as she out the fibal touchers to her costume. She had used some temporsry black hair dye for the whole effect and stepped holding up her dress and walkibg in.
And it was near dead here and full of older people. Friwning, she moved over to Mik and Malkam. "Is this the only party?"
She looked at Mik where his open midsection showed off actual guts. It wasn't sexy and she looked at him.

He stepped into the bar a little warily, Merric glancing around for any sign of its intimidating - and insulting - owner, catching a glimpse of vibrantly red hair that made him instinctively want to shrink back outside. But Lysander was over at the buffet, and so was Roswell, and Merric breathed out a sigh of relief, easing his way carefully towards them, the brim of his hat tucked low over his face. Maybe - hopefully - Rep wouldn't notice him.
He felt a little on edge. Merric came up beside Lysander and Roswell, offering them both a faint smile.
"Good evening."

THIS IS RAFFLEWEENSeveral seconds of music would play before Joy made her entrance, decked out head to toe as Joy Cena. Truthfully this wasn't her first choice but Bret Hart's costume was way too hard to scrounge up given such short notice. Still, she would do her damned best to be Mr. WWE even if it meant draining her phone's battery by playing his theme song on a continuous loop. She adjusted the volume first, not wanting it to be too loud and obnoxious as she wanted to mingle and chat after all.
When she spotted two of her friends, she decided to hang back and just watch them first, appreciating the sight of her little Love Team in action. Of course she also sent out a quick message to Gabby as she went to get herself something to drink.

Malkam was a little bummed him, Mik, and Mara hadn't been able to throw together matching costumes, but Mik hadn't been friendly with Mara at all. Probably because he liked being- Malkam didn't know. He'd been nice to Mel. And it wasn't like Mik was the baby, he was the oldest!
"No," Malkam answered Mara, getting a drink from the bar, "There's two parties. One for babies, and one for people over fifty. I guess I'd rather be in the alcohol one, but LAWRENCE COULD YOU DO SOMETHING BESIDES MAKE OUT, GROSS!"
He was dressed handsomely. His face had cleared some, but was still greasy, and he'd done his hair the best he could. He was supposed to be a butler, but since that just involved wearing a suit, he could have been anyone. Hunters kept asking if he was James Bond which was cool, but he probably could have used a better prop. The martini glass didn't help.
He grinned at Mik's transparency, taking a sip of his drink and saying, "Woah,
cool." He hoped his would do something awesome too.
He got a beard. That was cool. He grinned wider.

Mikael gave Mara an irritable look and rolled his eyes. "Maybe you want to hang out with babies." he said, having a strange urge to cry at the thought of being part of the larger classification of adults. He resisted it, instead just channelling his distress towards his new sister.
"And stop judging my guts."
--
Lysander gave Merric a big grin and waved a chicken bone at him in greeting. "Nice outfit!" he said. "What mystery are you hot on the trail of?"
He gestured at the food. "LOOK though. Food. Actual real delicious food. None of that free stuff just actual food it's so lovely Merric. I can hardly contain myseeeeeelf."
He reached for a cocktail stick with some small slices of meat on it and shoved in in his mouth. "This is a PARTY."
--
Rep applauded Joy's outfit, impressed with her entrance.
"No half ******** bad."

"I would love nothing better," Rodney said, lifting the dark, inky glass in an acknowledging toast to Malkam's new shift in agenda.
"We could even make it a family affair."

Lawrence flexed one shoulder then the other. "I would nominate Nash. He's been a bit of a thorn in my side for some time. I don't even think you've met him. You should."
He seemed pleased Malkam was done yelling things at him that he was going to have to ignore, somewhat approving of the neat little beard that made him look even more like his father.
"Just over here." he said, sauntering over to where Melvin and Nash were hanging out. 'Hello." he said sweetly. "Nash, meet Rodney." he said.
Mikael gave Malkam a weird look.
"That beard looks dumb." he said.

"Charmed," Rodney said, offering his hand. "We were just discussing how we could use a little more thrills than the ones offered through this establishment. But are you sure, Lawrence, you wanted to invite along someone you barely know, instead of your very good friend, Melvin?" He turned the smile to Melvin, "Of course, I know Melvin doesn't need an invitation to do as he likes. Do you, Melvin?"

Melvin glanced at Nash, the corner of hsi eye looking at his as he mouthed "******** a*****e." Before he turned around fully with the fakest, sweetest smile.
Rodney came to him. Rodney engaged him. That meant he wasn't at fault for reacting, and even worse, he was talking to Nash in reference to Lawr. It made his haunches go up, and he felt a sudden wave of protective possession over Nash.
Taking a step so he was hip to hip with Nash, he leaned in. "Invitation? I just react to what falls eagerly into my lap." He looked at Lawr, before looking back at Rodney. "More thrills? Marriage sure went stale quick to find the need for outside help." He glanced at Nash, moving a hand to his waist.

"Drinks all around," said Nash brightly to Melody, except he was waylaid by the presence of ******** Lawrence stepping over for reasons that were well and truly beyond Nash's ability to comprehend. He gave him a long, cool eyed look that wasn't even trying to hide his irritation.
"Oh, yes," Nash drawled, as he took Rodney's hand and gave it a short, but unyielding shake before dropping his hand again. "The better half, I presume."
He didn't trust the way that Rodney was speaking, or the way that Lawrence had deliberately brought them both together. Nash felt Melvin's hip bump into his, an arm sliding around his waist, and he didn't fight it, raising a dark brow before offering both men a serene, sickeningly sweet smile that matched Melvin's.
"What? All that bony scrawniness in the bedroom doesn't cut it for you two? Shocker."

October looked truly despondent at the idea that someone would want to have food before candy. He slid his arms off of Rhys and Seren's shoulders, but didn't go anywhere, instead peered around to see if there was another bucket of goodies somewhere he could munch on.
"Chat Noir," he informed Seren. "I'm Chat Noir. What are you two?"

Terry had fussed. And fussed. And then fussed some more over the couple costume he and Kim were going to wear to the party. He refused to recycle the Team Skull Grunts, on the reason that they were merely of passable quality and devoted himself to improving on his and Kim's cosplay roster.
Granted with even less time available, Terry was under even more self-imposed pressure and was absolutely certain everything he did was terrible and sub-par and why were they even going?
"I know I don't need the contacts but it's just not the same," he whined in monotone to Kim as he put the finishing touches on his Sasuke cosplay. He was going to use Halloween as his excuse to be his utter trash-weeb self.
