August 15th; It's a Spooky Party!

Who: Castiel and YOU. ALL OF YOU.
What: It's a party! It was going to be a fun game of Twister party, but now it's a spoopy party. This is a massive mingle, so please feel free to write your own starters! And feel free to jump on the party game headers as well, or include them in your starters too!
Where: The bar!
When: August 15th
Warnings: ALL THE WARNINGS. No, I lie. Alcohol, truth or dare, people falling on each other, scary stories maybe and snogging in a closet. And talking about feelings. Please add your own warnings to your comment thread headers and I will add them to the list!


Whether or not the lights were off, Castiel was determined to go ahead with his plan to cheer up the residents of Hadriel, and get them interacting with each other. He'd made his plans a week in advance, and when it came right down to it, the idea of whether or not he would allow Fear to get in the way of having fun was practically moot. Of course he wouldn't. It was far simpler to be oblivious, far easier to overcome fear - at least his own, if not the god - with amusement, and companionship.

It threw a bit of a monkey wrench into his plans, and was, it had to be said, particularly devastating for his personal party trick in particular. How would his "pull my finger" joke work now? But he was determined to soldier on, and that meant that the bar was taken over by an eager angel, complete with food that had been collected from the orchard, and around the town, a pack of cards, a bag full of pebbles, a bunch of sticks with tiny carvings on them, and as much paint as he had left over from his aborted attempt to redecorate the Winchester apartment.

Not much of a party, but that was what guests were for. And party games. And alcohol, obviously--that was why it was being held at a bar.

So maybe they'd have to bring their own light, and perhaps people might take advantage of the spooky mood and audience to tell some of those stories that Fear wanted people to share, or to play horrid tricks on each other...but so long as things didn't turn into a remake of Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead, or House on Haunted Hill, they were probably fine. Actually, scratch that, so long as it didn't turn into any horror movie ever, they were probably fine.

But then, with Twister, Truth or Dare and Poker (any of which you can add "strip" in front of and they will be infinitely more fun) as available gaming options, perhaps it was a horror movie already.

Just seeing what it was.

[Like you do, if you're an investigative type, apparently.]

What does kissing have to do with it?
outermirrors: (looking back | curious)

[Someone please explain to her why she knows what this game is and Souji doesn't. It's a little odd considering how often Narukami had all the answers when she had questions. ]

It's part of the game. For seven minutes the pair in the closet kiss or some other activity while they're in the closet.
truthvalue: (you keep your heart from your chest)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-08-27 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
... Oh.

[WELL. OK then, that makes a little more sense. Souji's silent for maybe half a minute here, thinking about what kind of game this is.]

Was there, um ... someone else you wanted to be in here with you instead?
outermirrors: (Default)

[personal profile] outermirrors 2016-08-27 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Not even in the slightest.

[She and most of the population remotely in their age nracket just barely get along. So she laughs for a little bit and shakes her head.]

I'd rather be in her with a friend talking than making out with a complete stranger.
truthvalue: (oh hey there.)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-08-27 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles in the dark. It's nice to be thought of as a friend, even if he isn't the Narukami she knows from before.]

Is there anything specific you wanted to talk about?
outermirrors: (precious | looks can be deceiving)

[personal profile] outermirrors 2016-08-28 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Ai doesn't have many friends and he's treated her with no less respect than Narukami ever did so why shouldn't she call him a friend? She sounds kind of sheepish as she answers his question.]

I dunno. What do you want to talk about? I feel like I've kind of dominated our other conversations.

truthvalue: (i'm a picture perfect passenger)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-08-28 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we could always talk about kissing, I guess. Since we're in a dark closet together.

[He deadpans the delivery but it's meant as something of a joke, an attempt at lightening the awkwardness.]

[She has never been more grateful for the dark to hide the way she turns a brighter shade of pink.]

What about kissing?
truthvalue: (why would you even -)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-08-31 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
It was a joke.

[Oops. Maybe that was too much.]
outermirrors: (embarrassed)

[personal profile] outermirrors 2016-09-01 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Not funny. [The pout clear in her voice as she stomps her foot. Definitely too soon. ...Not that she ever kissed Narukami either so it's clearly something else that has her so upset.]
truthvalue: (i'm running a new kind of game)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-09-01 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm very sorry - I didn't mean to offend you.

[Yeah, this is definitely A Nerve he's hit, and he knows it.]
outermirrors: (pouty)

[personal profile] outermirrors 2016-09-07 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Can we talk about something else that isn't kissing?

[Just a little bit yeah. Just pick a different topic and she'll get over it eventually.]
truthvalue: (you dream other people's dreams)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-09-23 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever you'd like.
outermirrors: (listening | interested)

[personal profile] outermirrors 2016-09-25 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I miss the sun.

[The cave light somewhere up in the ceiling is a good approximation, but the real thing will always be better.]

First thing I'm doing when we get home is laying out on the roof at school on a sunny day.
truthvalue: (why would you even -)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-09-25 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[School seems like a distant memory for Souji. He's been away from his normal life, Traveling and part of the Fleet and now here in Hadriel for more than a year, he guesses. He should be done with high school and cramming for entrance exams by now.]

What was your favorite subject in school?
outermirrors: (what | nervous)

[personal profile] outermirrors 2016-10-02 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a moment she stares blankly in the dim lighting. What was her favorite? She wasn't even sure there was a class at school she looked forward to and made sure she attended no matter how great a sale it was. They all seemed so at odds with her interests.

But if she had to pick...]


Literature I guess if I really have to pick. I never really saw a point in much of it. I studied a bit because it was expected not because I saw a point in it.
truthvalue: (tried your best to please everyone)

[personal profile] truthvalue 2016-10-11 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods, knowingly.]

My parents always just expected me to do well in school, so I did. I guess ... I don't mind it.

[He never gave it much thought, before. Now, though, with as much time as he's spent away from that routine, with everything that's happened to him ... he's had an opportunity to think about it.]

What's your favorite piece of literature?
