[Closed] The Least Evil Person I Know
Who: Accelerator
levelshift, Donnie
purplexing and leo
faceguy
What: Donnie gives Accelerator's apartment an upgrade
When: Yes
Where: Accelerator's apartment, Central City
Content Warnings: N/A
It's been on his to-do list for a long while now. The timing just seems... Well, Donnie's not sure if it's necessarily right, but he's not missing out on opportunity either.
His initial plan had not involved Halloween ambiance, but given how easy it is to get a hold of things, Donnie's worked them in. As much as Accelerator has proclaimed himself a villain, his apartment is incredibly drab. For someone who had claimed only villains lived in secret underground lairs, he sure has been pretty disappointing with his own decor.
Well. Time to fix that.
And so, the next time Accelerator returns to his humble abode, he's greeted by a highly exaggerated creaking that is most definitely not coming from his door but is timed to go off with its opening.
He will find the lights dimming, a thunder-crash sound effect going off in all its grainy glory (gutted from some cheap decoration) accompanied with the vague flicker of lamps to suggest lightening. The opening of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor begins to play as the lights shift around the edges of the main room, casting shadows in blue-violet hues with splashes of magenta.
The curtains on the windows have been replaced with shimmering black, reflecting the colored light subtly, wavering in a light breeze from very tiny fans tucked on the windowsill. Fake candles flicker on the mantlepiece- wait, this apartment has no fireplace...! -but it has a cardboard mantle now. Don't look too closely. Or in the light. His cardboard skills have not much improved since he was fourteen.
That seems to be the extent of Donnie's customization.
Until Accy tries going to his room, where one of those annoying motion-detecting ghosts has been hung off the door, wiggling gleefully with its discordant 'woooooooo~!' sound.
Oh. And you can bet there's a camera set to record the reaction.

He only moves to straighten up when he's sure Leo's not going to fall over. "Not that that wouldn't be in the spirit of things. Should we leave the costume to you, or do you need help finding one? If we're going to be throwing a party, we need to go nail down a venue."
no subject
"If we leave it to him, he'll just wear a shirt in a slightly different color and call it a day," he stage whispers to Donnie, smirking at Accelerator as he does it.
no subject
"Don't even," he says sharply. "I'll find something on my own." If he's going to get dragged along to this crap, he might as well make sure he doesn't look completely ridiculous. That much he can manage.

"Fine, we'll hold you to it. You haven't outright said no this whole time so at least you've been open to the experience!" He tucks his phone away again, grinning at Leo then.
"Should we get going then?"
no subject
He tips an imaginary hat to Accelerator.
"We'll be here to pick you up on Halloween. Don't forget, alright?"
Or they'll track him down.
no subject
"I'll try not to."
He won't. He knows a threat when it's staring him in the face.
