The auditorium never looked like the same room once a party transformed it, and this time would be no different. The room was deceptively dark, bathed almost completely in blacklight; anything white shone painfully bright, including teeth and scales and fur. The bass from the music blaring through dozens of speakers was rhythmic and loud, shaking the very floor they walked on with each beat. This made standing still almost uncomfortable, and sitting down almost impossible.
The party planners clearly had wanted its attendants to dance until they dropped - or until they turned off the music and kicked everyone out.
Half of the auditorium had been set aside for a loud and raucous gaming station: there was a giant wheel to spin, tables filled with plushies to stitch together, and the center of it all was a giant table decked out to resemble an entire mad scientists laboratory, completely with vials just waiting to be mixed.
But most importantly, a course of electricity passed through each person as they enter the room for the first time. Two giant tesla coils stood like pillars on either side of the doorway, triggered by movement and rippling through any creature that passed through it. Hair and fur rose on end, and a mad cackle could be heard crying out on repeat:
"It's alive! It's alive!"
But, sometimes you just aren't alive. And the electricity leaves a strange metallic taste in your mouth that doesn't go away for an hour - unless you make yourself a drink..

THE DRINKS TABLE
The table for mixing drinks is regrettably popular, but eventually you find yourself able to mix one up. The metallic tastes washes away, replaced by the flavor of.. whatever you've just imbibed.
But was that really any better?
Drink Combinations:
If you've played the mixology game, here is where you come to find out what your drink has done to you. There's never any guarantee that your drink will do something, but if you're lucky enough to have created an actual drink, it will be listed below. This is a list of effects based on possible combinations available in the game. You can choose to drink without any effect, but if you want an effect then match the ingredients you rolled with the combinations listed below to see what you've done to yourself. Please note that these effects do not overlap with the ones in the game itself, these over-ride them.
These effects all last one IC hour. (An IC Hour is as long as you want to RP it out, but no more than 48 realtime hours!) If you roll a different combination, it over-rides your previous one.
Click the spoiler for the full list of drink combinations possible!
If your drink included Jolly Rancher Candy ApplesANDPoisonous Candy:
You have created an Evil Queen. Drinking it not only turns everything shiny, but also convinces you that you are absolute most loveliest creature on the face of this world, and anyone who dares to try and take that title from you should be eliminated immediately. You are also constantly looking for reflective surfaces to gaze upon your beauty with.
If your drink included TrickingANDTreating:
You have created a ToTer. You're always itching to prank someone, and steal any candy you see.
If your drink included RazorbladesANDBlood:
You have created a Five Finger Freddy. Your nails are sharper than normal, and all you want to do is spook people by sneaking up on them and surprising them. Where did you find that fedora?! It's pretty cool.
If your drink included Real PumpkinANDPumpkin Pie:
You've created Pumpkin Juice. Really, that's it. Unless.. that overwhelming urge to parent a scareling that just came over you is normal, isn't it?
If your drink included Sheets with holes in themANDFog:
You've created a Zero! Named after the famous minipet of our ever beloved Pumpkin King Jack, the Zero has a surprisingly nutty flavor-OH MY GOD ARE YOU FLOATING?!
If your drink included Jelly SpidersANDReal Spiders:
You've created a Swarm. You can feel it still gurgling around in your stomach. You're probably going to be sick later.. unless you like that sort of thing.
If your drink included Lingerie and Animal EarsANDHealthy Snacks:
You've created a Grossie and the Pussyweres. Everything you say comes out in song - peppy, upbeat, high pitched song.
If your drink included DoorbellsANDAte Too Much Candy:
You've created a Smell My Feet. The drink itself is fine, but for an hour everything you come near has a noxious smell attached to it. People, food, items, everything. And the bad smell is never the same. You can't quite pinpoint what is making that horrible smell, and should probably breathe out of your nose for the rest of the n- oh Jack no you can taste it in the air..
If your drink included EggsANDCandy Corn:
You've created Something Really Disgusting. No, that's not the name of a real drink. That's really what you've created. It's disgusting. It's unclear how you could stand drinking it - but it's so unbelievably awful that you really, REALLY want to make others try it. Everyone, in fact. It's so foul that it's an experience.
If your drink included CANDY, CANDY, ANDCANDY. (Rolling 15 3 out of the 4 times.)
You explode in a shower of confetti and reform in Nurse Crickets Office several moments later.

Alexander was never one to arrive early. In fact, he wasn't even one to arrive on time. His slow shuffle wasn't the only reason for this. Quite frankly, the adult teenager was nothing more than just plain lazy, and he took everything at a pace that would have made a slime n snails look like a race epony in comparison.
But he was rather excited to see the new student councils first official event, in part to compare it to the formers, but mostly because thank Jsck he didn't have to spend days upon days labouring away on these things anymore. It was just going to be a fantastic relief, combined with a great deal of curiosity. Plus, it was nearly Halloween! Alex had put on his best suit (shoes and socks need not apply as usual), and with the Fear infused energy that practically buzzed in the air, he found himself actually arriving right as the doors were opened.
It was a Halloween miracle.
Passing through the entrance, his body jolted, his hair stood on end, and the sensation reminded him of the occasions when he and Mort used to spar, his zombro always utilizing some shocking skills.
He shook his head, laughed at the voice that boomed from a speaker, and shoved his hands into his pants pockets.
" 'Fraid not!" He commented, shuffling his way further inside, gaze roaming the spectacular display. The student council had really outdone themselves! The zomboils white hair glowed bright beneath the black light, his large grin and pale eyes doing much the same.
He stood near the drinks table in his costume, looking somewhat flustered and more than a little nervous. Llyr had told Pachua to meet him; he would have liked very much to go and pick up the other boil and walk with him, as a proper date (the word alone still made him blush); but his duties as Student Council president had prevented him from doing as much. And with everything going on, Llyr had not actually seen Pachua yet, or shown him his costume for the night.
So Llyr stood off to the side, anxiously twisting his hair in his long fingers and waiting for Pachua.
Shayne was looking around for a dormouse named Camilla and a ceffyl dŵr named Mellow as he entered the room. The undead boil was really nervous about this whole date with Camilla. Which his faces turned red as a beat as the undead boil was thinking about the date. However, it couldn't be on this date without the help with the boil he bade on. Also, he could make a new friend. "Here goes nothing." The undead boil mumbled to himself as he waited for them.

At first, he'd thought this would be a great idea. To portray one of the most iconic ghosts in history? He leapt at the chance. And even as he dressed for the part, he felt proud to be wearing the linens of a traditional ghost, and immediately began to float off of the ground, tucking his legs underneath him.
But soon enough, he started to realize that he had been demoted to the role of a dog, and certain people had begun trying to pet him. It did not take very long for Gabby to realize that choosing to dress as Zero had been the biggest mistake of his very short life.
He continued to float off of the ground, slipping through the crowd and trying his very best to not be touched by the heathens who thought he was just so cute.
Rojo was positively bouncing in his Oogie Boogie costume. No one could really see him doing so, but it was totally happening. The music was playing, the blacklights were blacklighting, and people were beginning to arrive, all dolled up in their dresses and fancy suits. And costumes too! Like his! He'd always had a special place in his figurative heart for Jack's nemesis, so when the opportunity to dress as him had come up, the skeleton had jumped at the chance. He found the outfit a little constricting now, but he could certainly manage.
Anything for the party, after all.
He abruptly ceased his excited hopping when he noticed the entrance of the boil who had fallen on him in the class that was not a class. There would be plenty of time to speak to everyone later, but now seemed like as good a time as any to make sure everything was straightened up and ready to go. Rojo began to make his way around the room, stopping and patting at the various decorations even if they weren't out of place.

It seemed everything was running smoothly so far, and Mia let out a sigh of relief. The last week had been hectic, making sure they had all the props and decorations ready, making sure they had ENOUGH decorations and props ready, as well as making sure there were enough refreshments to go around. There were times she wasn't sure if they would be able to pull off such a thing, but here they were, auditorium all decked out, creeple slowly trickling in... She just hoped everything would work out. Oh Jack, PLEASE let it work out well.
It seemed the president was preoccupied at the moment, so she decided to harass the next best thing. Anything to calm her nerves. "Gabby, did you make sure to..." She stared at him as he continued to weave through the sparse crowd. "...Gabby what are you doing?"
Mellow's escape wasn't successful, his enthusiastic partner picked him up when he was dressed, wandering along the corridor of demon dorm. She tackle-attack him again, rubbed against his face, yelling how adorable he was. He was mighty okay? Anyway, thanks to someone, he could have an outfit not too casual for the dance. The petite boil was carried to the auditorium pretty much like a hostage.
Thus, when the green-tea hair boil arrived at the venue, he was half dead already, the big round lensless glasses kept dropping no matter how many times he pushed them. Mellow tripped over the loosen ribbons of the ankle-high boot once again and frowned, pushing his glasses up.
He was supposed to follow Shayne because he won him, but there was no way to get away from the excited bird ghoul. The petite boil sighed as the ghoul said he looked like a little nerdy professional.
Who's the actual master? =.=
He sighed again, ears drooped.

Made up something, hope you don't mind.

He had got himself out for a breath of air, his mind lost in thought and his body tumbling in in a sea of turmoil inside. He headed back to the dance with his skull donned fittingly and a tattered cloak he had picked up at the Maul a few days before. Okay, admittingly, he didn't put a lot of thought into it, it was the first thing that came to mind. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to fashion himself a wooden scythe, but it was still a decent outfit. However, unlike the other students that were here in their cute and rather odd outfits, he was just like another monster one could find here at Halloween Town. Actually, looked like he was dressed for a masquerade. The demon went back to his place as seeing Damien wasn't the best at the moment. Something told him - instinctually - that talking to the boil tonight, shortly after the auction.
Uru had arrived early, noticing that there were already some students here while he stood against the wall with two drinks in hand - waiting patiently for... his 'date'.

Pachua was perhaps more nervous about his costume than he was about the Dance, though it was a close second to be fair.
Gone were the plethora of beads and bobbles, the bright cloth and semi precious stones. Instead he had flowering branches in his hair, a simple white cloth wound around him for clothes.... And chains for ornaments. He might in fact seem very familiar to the other boil for style of clothes.
He cautiously approached the nervous Jack Skelington dressed Boil with a nervous but widening smile.
"Why mister Skelington, look... Legendary." He flushed.

Van wasn't entirely sure how dances worked, he was equally not sure what exactly the date auction had entailed because he hadn't honestly been really sure what he was doing in the first place. He was, however, excited to have an excuse to make a new friend and to bug her because music.
He didn't know anything about outfit coordination, escorting dates, general courtesy-- he was, after all, a teenage puppy who hadn't even really thought about relationship trappings. He did, however, show up promptly dressed as a black skeleton, still wearing his canvas hightops. His eyes glowed bright red every time he opened them, and the bones were picked up nicely by the blacklights.
He flipped his phone out and started to text Kier.

Preparation had been to the best of her abilities, an attempt to not look totally slapped together in the last minute but when one was on their own for dances and events, well sometimes it just looked like that. Maple had managed to find two distinct pieces at the Maul and sort of threw them together to make... well, a science witch. Basically, a lab coat over a stereotypical witch costume of some sort. She also tried to curl her hair, but well...
The witch arrived sometime after, her hands nervously fidgeting with the fabric of her coat as she entered the - really dark, apparently - auditorium with the same intent as one of her dates (apparently) to stick close to the walls as ever. It was rather easy, given how few students there were at the moment but easy enough to actually spot some from a distance (well, in the dark). There were a few more faces she recognized here than at the auction itself and soon enough to finally ran into one of the creeple she was meant to in the first place. Almost literally, but thankfully Maple managed to avoid any sort of accidents by spotting Uru right before she walked right into him.
"O-oh, Uru'Baen!" Really, she was happy to find him, "I s-see you ... also f-found the n-nice.. s-solid wall..."
