Creepy old abandoned mansion on Phoenix Way, Wednesday evening

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie had spent all day -- barring her class, of course -- getting the mansion ready for the Halloween party. If anyone had any protests over her rather liberal use of black and orange balloons, streamers, party hats, table cloths, and confetti, she wasn't hearing them over the noise of her party cannon.

Kitty made a fantastic party helper, at least, helping rearrange what little furniture was already set up (so that's what hands were for!) and doing the many things that even the party cannon couldn't do (such as keep Pinkie from eating all the snacks before the party could even start).

Then, at last, it was time to get into costume. Pinkie had promised to show Kitty just what Nightmare Night was all about, and her Nightmare Moon costume delivered in spades, if she did say so herself. Sure, the glowing contact lenses were uncomfortable, and the black make-up was going to be rather difficult to get out of her coat later, but she was rocking those plastic fangs.

"What, people don't do that?" He knew people didn't do that. "I would totally tip you if you were my property manager, I'm just saying."

Because he could say shit like that, because she wasn't.

"Well, obviously you should be living in my building," Laurie decided, "or at least educate those who are. I didn't move here from Gulfhaven to not make changes!"

Because apparently she was taking a stand now, or something.

Mostly, it was coming off as adorable. Mike wasn't sure that was the intended effect.

"And where is Gulfhaven, that so inspires the need for change here?"

"Florida," she said, a little wistfully. "Just outside Sarasota. It's still warm enough there to be getting Halloween-drunk outside."

Which was not always preferrable. More things to fall over.

Okay, that was enough to get Mike raising his eyebrows below that fantastic wig of his. "Florida? Really? I just moved up from Tampa."

And yes, he was questioning both their judgments when it came to the climate

"Seriously?" Laurie was absolutely delighted by this news. "Oh man, I love Tampa! It's so much fun! Like Orlando, but for people over ten....who don't really care about rollercoasters. And like drinking. And the beach."

Congrats, Laurie. You just described most of Florida.

"Seriously, you moved from Tampa to...here?" Maybe a little judging, yes.

Mike held up his hands. "I plead temporary insanity," he joked. "And maybe ignorance of climate."
