Trick or Treating!


You're not too old for trick-or-treating, right? Leo may be 16 now, but he certainly intends to, and he's invited everyone he knows to come with. There's a pretty good group now, with kids he knows from school and other metas around the city, headed for the residential districts and maybe a bit later into the suburbs of Central.

Sure, there are gangs around, but with this many teenage superheroes in one place, it shouldn't be a problem, right? It's just some good ol' Halloween fun!

Halloween Party!



And after the trick-or-treating wraps up, it's time to party! School night? Who cares!

Leo and Donnie have taken over an old, abandoned warehouse (no worries, it's... probably safe!) and completely decked the place out. There's lights, cobwebs, sound and motion activated decorations, and snacks upon snacks. There's an even bigger crowd here than there was for trick-or-treating, since most of Leo's local meta school friends are more interested in a party than trick-or-treating. It's mostly the people who are cool with being friends with a turtle, aka the coolest people.

Feel free to dance, play pranks, eat food, maybe slip something into the punch... get up to shenanigans! And don't worry, they're pretty sure the warehouse isn't haunted. Any rumors to the contrary are just that: rumors!

[[OOC: This is a mingle log! Feel free to make your own starters! If your character is a teen or young adult, feel free to assume they got invited through the grapevine; knowing the turtles is not necessary. Otherwise, your character can be at a house that gets trick-or-treated or just come around the party to see what's going on. Party crashing is allowed.]]

Comments

[Accelerator ignores the attention he's garnering with that thread. It's normal for him.]

Tche, fine. [Why is Leo friends with him again? Mysteries.

He makes a frustrated noise.]

Parties suck.

[faceguy]

That's because you think if you let yourself have fun, you'll die.

[Well, maybe he's also not big on crowds... But hey, Donnie's handling it just fine, so it shouldn't be too bad!]

Have you ever even been to a party?

[levelshift]

Tche. [He certainly feels like he will.]

No, and for good reason.

[He hates being around people, and he's never had people who liked him enough to invie him anywhere. Perfectly good reasons.]

[faceguy]

Then how do you know you hate them?

[Besides being bound and determined to hate everything!]

Come on, don't you at least like the decorations? If you say no, I'll tell Donnie. And he'll cry.

[He won't, but still.]

[levelshift]

Extrapolation. I hate being around people.

[Ergo, he hates parties. Sound logic!]

They're shit. [He is giving Leo a pointed look. Do it, motherfucker.]

[faceguy]

Awww man, you're really gonna make me tell him they're bad, huh?

[So mean to Donnie! Something Leo himself never, ever is.]

[levelshift]

Yes.

[Accelerator snorts.]

I'm sure he can handle it. [Would Donnie even care? He's not sure, but if Leo is going to tease him then he's going to keep pushing.]

[faceguy]

[He probably would care, is the problem! He takes a lot of pride in this kind of thing.]

Man. [Leo sulks into his chair.] You're mean sometimes.

[levelshift]

[He doesn't even have any reason to be acting this abrasive. There's nothing stopping him from just leaving, after all.]

Tche. Only sometimes?

[faceguy]

Only sometimes.

[Surly almost all the time, but not usually mean. Or well, not that Leo thinks so. Telling him to shut up or calling him annoying is normal so Leo doesn’t count it.]

Most of the time you’re pretty alright.

[levelshift]

["Pretty alright." Sheesh.]

No one in their right mind would call me "pretty alright."

[faceguy]

Are you calling me crazy? [Rude.]

[levelshift]

[Accelerator sips his coffee.]

You heard me.

[Now he's just being difficult.]

[faceguy]

[Clearly!]

You know, I think I'm gonna go back on the "no teasing" thing, since you're just using it as an opening to be mean to me.

[He's not actually upset, he's just playing it up.]

[levelshift]

[Well, getting teased by Leo is pretty normal, so he doesn't really mind it.]

What the hell did you expect? Me to be nice?

[Perish the thought.]

[faceguy]

No way, that’d be weird.

[He waves a hand.]

Just be normal Accy.

[Which is different from most people’s normal.]

[levelshift]

[It would be super weird, he can agree with that.]

Well, I can at least do that.

[faceguy]

See, now you got it.

[Leo grins and raises his drink like a toast.]
