Melvin wasn't dealing so great with recent events. Deathsweeper had made him dream about dying, he met a psycho who wanted to kill Rep, and some techs laughed at him at the very idea of thinking the portals would be open by Thanksgiving. Halloween, while no where near his favorite holiday, was just a reminder that the others were bound to such hard.
So he did what he should have done a while ago. He asked around and wound up, through some haggling, to get a bottle of Rock-Gut Vodka and a modest size bottle of whiskey. It seemed prices were fluctuating with the portals down that everyone was trying to spend the money they could on whatever they could get, and Melvin got a idea that if he didn't start buying booze now that it would be double later.
His clipboard of Thanksgiving ideas in the trash, he was using a mug to drink whiskey from (like he could even find a shot glass round this damn place), and was drinking in a small kitchen that was quiet and vacant enough to be able to just get tipsy in peace. Oh, and to eat on the candy he got from a vending machine that was now a colorful pile on the table. No fireballs, but damn if he wasn't eating something on Halloween and feeling normal - even if he didn't really like sweet things. Skittles were okay though as he popped a bright yellow one in his mouth and chased it with a shot of whiskey. Yeah, he should have done this sooner. Quote: This is a ORP for anyone to join. However, there is limited booze here so you better be up for bringing your own - and maybe some candy too. It's Halloween after all. Quote people you are talking to!

Otto dragged his feet as he moved down the hall. He seemed terribly depressed for some reason. Was it his dead weapon? The terrible nightmares? Or something else entirely?
Regardless, he found himself wandering into the kitchen for something to drown his sorrows in. Upon entering, it seemed he wasn't alone. His lidded gaze stared at the vodka, and drifted to the skittles.
"...heard if ya let those sit in vodka for a day, it tastes like koolaid or sumthn.."

Melvin looked at the vodka, looked at the bag of open Skittles in his hand, and then grabbed the vodka and opened it. Then, he poured the entire contents of skittles into the mix and closed it before giving the plastic bottle a shake and watching the little candies float down.
"Yup. That's what I got into science for." This was the sum of all his work in college. Seeing if Skittles made his shitty vodka taste better.
He looked back to Otto before reaching through the pile to find something better. "What are you...." He gestured in a round-about circle at Otto. "..up to?"

Good old science. Tasty, tasty science. Otto lifted his head a bit, shrugging and averting his gaze once more. "Nuthin.." He murmured quietly. "What're you up to? Drinkin' on yer own?"

Melvin leaned back, rubbing his eyes. His goggles were...somewhere. "Nah." He told him, dropping his hand to pour himself some more whiskey. "It's a Halloween party. See?" He said, pointing to the vending machine candy. Maybe it wasn't clear enough.
"I could carve a Jack-o-Lantern. Bound to be a apple somewhere." It wasn't like he could find a pumpkin around here.
Actually, that sounded like a good idea. He slowly got up, moving over to the fridge and opened it, examining what was inside. Some aged condiments. Some labeled food that was already open. Something that smelled like Italian dressing.
What he found was a banana. He took it out of the fridge, shut it, and found himself a knife. Then, both in hand, he sat back down. "Got a candle?" His tone was still even, as if he was asking a pen during a meeting.

Perhaps it was instinct. Or just extremely good (or terrible) timing, but Jerry paused in the hallway near the kitchens at the sound of voices- familiar enough, but the edge to Melvin's voice he would know a mile away.
As he did that smell.
It was subtle, but there, and unfamiliar in this hallway. He heard the phrase "halloween party" and swallowed the courage to poke his head in the doorway. "Is it an open party?" He gave what he hoped was a friendly smile. He had been rather cold to Melvin lately, but... well. Things were different now.

Melvin glanced up from carving a smile into the banana and smiled. "Heeeyy. It's Gary. Come here, come here." He gestured for the guy to come in before turning his banana over. A very crude smile was stabbed into the banana. "Pretty awesome, eh? Gotta light?"

Jerry didn't have much of a chance to obey before he was suddenly pushed inside by a woman in a makeshift alien(s) costume stitched last minute out of scrap black clothing. It was shoddy but still recognisable. She thrust forth a pillowcase full of... things... around the poor man and gave out a haunting call of, "Happy Halloween! Choose your poison!"
The voice gave Rin away, but so did the contents of her pillowcase which were mint aeros(chocolate bars), little bottles of mouthwash, and travel size toothpastes; all stolen from her personal stashes. She also sounded rather confused to see they got the idea before she did, up until now she was just barging in doorways and harassing random people making them nearly crap themselves in terror. Which was her own little treat.
everyone but especially Jerry getting plowed into by crappyalien!Rin

Melvin lost is mind. Maybe Otto would be kind and try to go find it for him. For a few hours. Luckily, Jerry burst in as a distraction. But before otto could make a hasty retreat, an alien showed up.
Wow.. it really was Halloween.
The voice sounded familiar, but Otto couldn't place it. The contents of her bag were strange. She had trick or treating all wrong. Then again, supplies in Deus were likely limited. So maybe offering this stuff wasn't so bad.
"Y'know.. usually you go door to door begging for stuff, not givin' s**t away." He commented with a raised brow, slyly stealing some candy from Melvin's stash and tossing a bag in her pillow case. "Trick'r treat, E.T."

Halloween. It was Halloween. A time to dress up and get candy and have fun with friends and she was just happy that she'd taken her sollux horns and her sun glasses with her and even if she lacked grey body paint the yellow tape on the black shirt was easy and her costume was not the best but Solia gave herself an A for effort. She didn't care if she got looks, or that everyone was on 'high alert'. It was a goddamn holiday and if they fed on fear clearly the best course of action was to have fun. Fun did not equal fear. The didn't feed on fun. No fun sucking could be had. Nope, not for her. Plus candy. She might have none to give but she had her plans to make halloween macaroons, orange and green and black, (but more a dark purple really). She had her plans. As she passed the near empty kitchen to see Otto and and Mr. Yells? And people she didn't know? Plans didn't matter. Time for some holiday cheer. Or just her being nosy and wanting to make sure they were at the very least enjoying themselves. Plus the other girl in a costume lifted her spirits. "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" A+ introduction.

No one else mattered when Rin came bumping into the room, and Melvin just watched. If getting drunk make women look more gorgeous, then Rin's costume looked very realistic to him. If it wasn't for her voice, he would have wondered if the minipets didn't mutate to the most amazing pet ever. "It's not E.T. It's a Xenomorph!" Just like Allan.
It was a big, moving, Allan. Despite how much Melvin didn't want to touch anyone, he wanted to hug this living Allan. He wanted to introduce it to the plushie in his room (and maybe the small, replica, toy ship he had hidden away).
So dazzled was he that he barely noticed Solia until she wished them a Happy Halloween.
Not familiar with the website (He had been in a pod for over a year), he waved slowly. "Hi.....demon....thing." He poured himself another drink, still staring at Rin, or more specifically, the giant Alien he saw.

"Hah!" Rin cheered teasingly as she made her way into the room better. Big wonky tail flopping about in her wake, "At least someone knew. I am content now."
She carefully looked inside to see what Otto gave her and if she wanted to stow it away for herself. She decided she did and after fishing it out pocketed it.
"The stuff in my bag is for you guys though, are you lot having a party in here?" She wandered over at Melvin to offer him her bag, perhaps he might find a toothpaste or mouthwash useful if he doesn't like chocolate still.
IDK, everyone? Mostly Melvin and Otto now

Melvin had been drinking a while when everyone showed up. So, when Rin headed over to him to offer a bag of hygienic dental supplies, he thought that Allan was just being very, super nice. He would be considering they were friends since he was a kid, and he out of everyone would know his love of proper teeth cleaning hygiene.
Coming over, he took some toothpaste slowly and then looked up at the wonky mask of what he saw as a giant plush. "Can I hug you?" He'd have to be delicate of course since Allan was a old toy.

Rin looked honestly startled by the question - mask or no mask. She double took and for the most part just... assumed he knew it was her. But well, it wasn't a terrible request and he did take a toothpaste making her feel much less self conscious so after a subtle shrug she nodded her 'head', "Sure go right ahead."

Melvin put his toothpaste next to he Banana-o-Lantern and then scooted his chair to then lean and hug Big Allan's midsection. There was the same sort of gleeful satisfaction in hugging Rin that a child might have when hugging Barney or Elmo. "I could sleep with you forever." He muttered. Big Allan was soft.
