WHO: EVERYONE? Anyone. (And Peter.)
WHERE: X-Fam House, Nonah.
WHEN: Friday the 13th!
WHAT: Giant ass Halloween party. On Friday the 13th. YOU ARE ALL INVITED.
WARNINGS: tbd, probably some disaster.
NOTES: So this party's invites are pretty scattered so if you have CR with Peter, you can feel free to assume you've been invited (if he hasn't literally ic inboxed you) or found an invite/ heard about the party from anyone else and are still welcome to have fun! Feel free to plurk me (

valleyheart) if you have questions but aside from Peter's top level, it's free game to do what you want!

The Invitations

[If you're a friend of Peter you might've been invited personally, but even so you might find one of these bad boys slipped your way, in your mail or taped to the inside of your next pizza order leading up to the 13th. On the back of the invitation is a hand scrawled address in Nonah, the home of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr - if you're familiar, you're familiar. If not, doesn't matter, 'cause it's Peter's disastrous party about to go down and you're still welcome.]

The House

[The party takes place at the "X-Fam" house in Nonah, which some of you may remember hosted a bbq not too long ago. Yeah, the place where Erik and Charles live - not that this party's sponsored by them in any shape, way or form. In fact it's more of a "while the cat's away, the mice will play" type scenario because asking permission to hold a killer party is not something Peter did.

He was responsible enough however to use caution tape to cross off the doors of the bedrooms in the house, preserving the privacy of his housemates to a degree. The other rooms aren't off limits and neither is the backyard, all of which are decorated festively for the occasion. Cobwebs litter corners and hallways, weaving through the banister rails complete with fake spiders nestled in them. The curtains are somber, as a variety of stick on decals are covering windows and mirrors alike. Decorations sit on mantles and door frames, with each window sill featuring a lit candle or something equally spooky.

The backyard is lit by dim orange lights, featuring seating and open night air for those who wish to get out of a hot, loud house and admire the stars. Just mind the witch legs and don't litter cigarette butts everywhere, alright?

The door's open and a variety of tunes are playing, audible from the street.]

The Party

[So you were invited (or not,) and you found your way to the right house. The lights are dimmed and the music's loud, so come in and get a drink from the fridge or the creative yet nerdy 'keg'. Peter's no Martha Stewart nor is Wanda really in a mood to make a lot of cute treats so you'll have to put up with standard party fair: potato chips, pretzels, a huge stack of pizzas and a few large bowls of candy corn. That shit is everywhere, there's no escaping it. You need ice? Just don't choke on the critters.

Rooms not cordoned off are yours to wander and get wasted in, same with the stretch of grass in the back yard. Wander with your goblets of definitely spiked punch and a handful of candy corn. Because if you're not eating it then you suck.

At some point there will be a cake pulled out because Peter's drowning in sisters and Lorna's birthday is this month. Clearly the thing to do is to (monster) mash it in to the Halloween celebrations with a creepy cake. Say a spooky happy birthday to the girl with green hair when you get the chance.]

I cannot say I've had the luxury but after this, I just might need to.

[His feet are already killing him but alcohol numbs the pain. Jack wears a size ten at best and these shoes feel too small and narrow.]

Drunken bets landed me once in the bed of a rather less than noble gent, so I try to avoid such bets.

[Better believe he robbed that bastard blind before sunrise. Not a speck of riches left. Jack even had his merry men help him steal the grand piano from the downstairs. That certainly fetched them a pretty penny.]

Tell me, Smythie, are you feeling a tad drafty?

[He pokes at the man's bare chest rudely.]

I try not to speed and drink. [He says, tapping a finger against his cup.]

And I put too much work into my undead thing, gotta make use of it. As for fires though, not yet. I did hear something break in the other room but I'm not up for going to investigate what happened yet.

[Peter claps Archie on the arm.] You're such a good bro, to consider doing that for me and the sake of my party? I thank you wholeheartedly.

Is this Maxie new or been here a while?

Hey Lorna, what's up? [Peter's got a smile for her, just as quickly as he has a beer poured.

He looks her costume over. Why is he not surprised by the green?] Tinkerbell? Suiting.

Hate to say this but I'mma have to nominate someone for this. That someone being...

[He fingerguns in his direction:] Magnus.

You an' me both...

[though archie's weren't always drunk. he just likes to live!

at the question, he snorts.]

Nope. Why, you distracted?

[he makes his pecs bounce, because he is Like That.]

[at this point in the party, he's back with his gf, next to her flawless costume looking much more like (a nevertheless very incriminating blond) Gomez. he's also looking slightly tipsy, arm around Alex's shoulders]

Screw you, Maximoff. You're not even an Addams extra.

Anythin' for my pizza bro.

New, man. He's the guy with the volcano camel. Red head.

Archie. I was afraid.

[nods, solemnly]

Heeeeeey, Mega-Nerd! [Comes an obnoxious and slightly-slurred voice from behind Maxie seconds before an arm slings heavily around his shoulder. Almost certainly Blue had only ended up at this party because of Archie- he didn't know any of the owners of this house, certainly. But he was here, stupid Eevee ears bobbling stop his stupid spiky hair, and he's certainly partaking of the alcohol.]

[His free hand is doing double-duty balancing a beer and gesturing colorfully while the other one is loose over Maxie's shoulders. How is he already so inebriated when the party has barely started?] Haha, figures Arch'd drag you here. Nice uh, shark hood. [He's giving Maxie an eyebrow raise that suggests volumes of innuendo.]

Drunk Wallfowering/Heckling

[While normally D33 prefers to keep a relatively low profile, tonight he might be sticking out for a few reasons. First and foremost, he might be among one of the only people in attendance not wearing a costume. Instead, he is clad in a plain black sweater (Peter had insisted that he at least wear an appropriate Halloween color) and a pair of khaki's (nerd alert). Aside from that, one might have noticed him enter the party with what appears to be quite the beautiful woman on his hip. Somehow, he's managed to become separated from his date since, which leaves him pinned stubbornly to the wall, glaring at the passerby while he bitterly nurses a cup of whatever the hell Archie has supplied him with. For someone who claims to hate drinking, he sure has been doing his fair share, and the effects are starting to get to him a little. Maybe normally he wouldn't call any more attention to himself than was absolutely necessary, but as you pass, you might hear him, words slurring and full of judgment, as he criticizes your costume:]

What in the world are you supposed to be?

[He probably sounds just as confused as he does judgmental (and just the littlest bit aggressive at that) - he only learned what Halloween is about two weeks ago, and he's still finding the entire thing a little hard to wrap his mind around. Whether you be a mummy, a witch, or a giant hot dog, chances are he probably doesn't understand and if you know D33, then you know his questions aren't about to stop there.]

Wildcard

[Here's your chance to come harass D33 - give him shit for not wearing a costume, maybe. Perhaps he's managed to slosh a bit of his drink onto you as you pass by. It's probably safe to assume that, whoever you are, he's given you a dirty look or two since arriving. Or maybe you want to come gossip with him about that hottie Sasako that he came in with (be careful what you say though, or you might get punched in the mouth).]

[Peter should feel worse for the garden, but it's kinda hard to feel bad at all right now with a happy little buzz despite a giant robot on his lawn. He walks on out and tips his head to the side, planting fake-blood covered hands on his hips.]

First, it's open invitation so you technically were even if I didn't personally invite you. Secondly, I have the faintest recollection of you threatening to step on me and not caring if I died. Which hurt, bro. [He taps his chest solemnly, before his lips quirk in the corners a bit. He could almost say that with a straight face.]

But seriously, uh. You can come in. If you... [Makes a shrinking gesture with his hands. Unrobo-robo? Little-robo.]

[Magnus, too, has begun to loaf, legs splaying lazily across the grass. after petting Crobat for a bit, he looks up at Archie]

Did you try to open a beer with a giant bat instead of a bottle opener?

[can you really be giving life advice....................]

[D33 would be glaring if it weren't for the startled, confused, and frankly Affronted look on his face re: Archie's costume.]

What in the world are you wearing?

[Neither was Jack but he doesn't "Kiss & Tell", matey.]

Distracted? No, I'm not distracted---[Wait, wait, wait!

Jack takes a dramatic step back without stumbling and stares at Archie as if he just performed magic. Those kohl rimmed eyes blink slowly in both awe and confusion,]

...Distracted. Horribly distracted. I need water.

[He snatches someone's drink right out of their hand and gulps it down.]

[Peter makes a soft 'ohhh' that might come off as a convincing realization, even if Peter still kind of struggles to put together how it's anything but Magnus in a suit looking like a lawyer over an Addams family member. The glitter's a nice touch?

He tries to be sympathetic but he just snorts.] I'll keep an eye out for Alex then. Let me guess, Morticia?

[Peter then recalls the question, shaking his head.] I recruited Jean to be my undead wife. I traded part of my soul for it but I think we're at least giving you two some competition.

[the look that crosses maxie's face is one that goes through the five stages of grief, ending at tired, grim acceptance. of course blue was here. of course.

camerupt, in his headband halo and little wings, looks a little happier to see blue at least, calmly giving a greeting 'rupt' as maxie sighed as loudly as he could.] You. Aren't you underaged or something? Don't you have some sort of highschool function to be at or... I don't know, an arcade?

[he looks grumpy at the hood being mentioned.] Archie insisted on a costume. What are you supposed to be? Besides uproariously drunk.

[oh my gods, what is this guy talking about? Magnus takes a few seconds to let his heartrate fall low enough to answer]

It's okay. I'm actually undead, s-so, mummies don't bother me.

[is this a cool spooky Halloween joke? it doesn't have the cadence of one. this blond kid still kind of looks like he's shitting his pants. what is kind of a joke is this dude thinking some toilet paper wrapped around a terrifying wolf-monster is what makes the terrifying wolf-monster terrifying. Magnus is having a problem uncrunching his legs to stand again, and he's looking intently at Maxie instead of aforementioned terrifying wolf-monster]

Um. Cool hoodie.

[he begrudgingly pats archie's arm.] He'll come around, he's mad for you and all.

[........... he pulls the hood down to protect his face from the silent, unimpressed but nonetheless laughter at that]

That's terrible and he should be ashamed.

[and archie does; it's definitely a sad day when captain jack sparrow has more class than you.]

Uh-huh. [he just watches with a DISGUSTINGLY smug expression.] I believe it.

[titty bounce titty bounce]
