OCTOBER 2018 SWEAR IN

[grandtheftequine]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Downtown Maurtia Falls, at the Pandora hotel
WHEN: October 19th, evening.
WHAT: October Swearing In!
WARNINGS: Please tag your threads accordingly!

The Pandora, a luxury hotel in the heart of downtown Maurtia Falls, is lit up for tonight's event, with purple and orange mood lighting beginning in the lobby and setting a tone that continues through to a foyer with private elevator. Before you can get on the elevator to go up to the party, though, there's the matter of dress code. Luckily, if you didn't come in costume, Skinthetic Technologies is here to help!

Standing in the middle of the room are several large, walk-in closet-sized machines manned by Skinthetic representatives to help explain the process. Step into the "COS-TOMB", as it is so spookily labeled, strip down (leaving your street clothes in a bag for coat check!) and let the machine 3D print your costume around you in seconds. Preset designs of classic costumes are available, but the more adventurous can design their own with the intuitive software… or at least, mostly intuitive. This is a demo showing, after all, and there may still be a few bugs here or there to cause a wardrobe malfunction! Maybe double check that everything printed in all the right places, just in case.



Once properly costumed, head up in the elevator to the top floor and step out into the Gallery Lounge. The minimalist furniture is cast in eerie tones by the same mood lighting, and the floor to ceiling windows give breathtaking views all across the city. Outside on a large balcony is the hotel's rooftop bar, complete with outdoor heating to keep off the chill of the brisk October night air. Both the lounge and bar are staffed with beautiful servers and attendants (many of whom may be recognizable to patrons of the Iron Throne nightclub) in costumes that look to be made up mostly of body paint. Shimmering gold and deep black makes up bold geometric patterns and shapes drawn across faces, bodies, and hair as they serve gourmet food and drink, as well as companionship.



At the far end of the lounge, a stage is set up looking down over a dance floor, and a house band is playing covers of bands like Lucie and the Selkies, The Plague, and Never Essence. On that same stage, at the height of the evening, the charity kiss auction begins. Sign-ups are at several tables around the lounge, along with information on the programs that the proceeds of the auction will expand at the Endeavor Center. Come donate your dignity, see how much your smooches are worth, or sign your friends up behind their backs! The winner of each auction gets an on-stage kiss and a photo the romantic moment.

And as the clock strikes midnight, fireworks boom to life over the canal, crackling embers shifting colors and reflecting along the water below. The party will continue into the early hours of the morning, and suites in the hotel have been reserved for any imPorts who don't feel like "drinking and Porting" to get back to their home cities.

AUCTION THREADS

[grandtheftequine]

Poe Dameron

[flightforfreedom]

[ Someone's gotta start this party. He's got a 3D printed costume exoskeleton, too. At least the mandibles come off when the mask does.... ]

Bodhi Rook

[onlydoubts]

[ Okay sure why not! Bodhi is dressed as a vampire, complete with round blue tinted glasses and slightly ill fitted 3D printed fangs (that probably wont be all that comfortable for kissing). ]

Kanan | OTA

[kanyounot]

[ After being auctioned off to some lucky (adult) person, Kanan has mostly buttoned up his shirt at least, and he may even be nursing a drink with actual alcohol in it. Though it's just the one.

He's not really here for fun - this isn't exactly his idea of it, these days. He's here mostly to solicit donations and volunteers for the Endeavor Center, to chat it up to people with fat wallets, to talk about all the great things they're doing here in Maurtia Falls, to help the kids. He is very enthusiastic about the work he's doing, and the kids he's helping. He's a little less enthusiastic about the current company, for the most part. ]

Oh, yeah, we're working on getting more programs up and running - we just need the funding for them. If you'd like to help, we always accept donations, of any size...

[killtime]

[ Andy has decidedly not dressed up. She's shown up to kill time, maybe to support Logan, for whatever her friendship is worth — and costumes are too much work. Same old Andy. Same old worn out jeans, same old leather jacket. At least she's more than recognizable when she approaches. ]

Keeping up the good work, huh.

Eccarius | OTA

[hampire]

Being well aware that his usual attire of velvet and brocade can easily pass for a costume, Eccarius gives the 'COS-TOMB' a pass, making his way directly to the Gallery Lounge and rooftop bar. Once there, he'll obtain a glass of wine from which he only sips occasionally, engaging in polite conversation with anyone nearby (provided the volume level of the music will allow it), and making a few bids at the charity kiss auction when that starts.

By the time the fireworks begin however, he's fairly tipsy, lightweight that he is in that respect. But at least he doesn't look as though he's going to throw up. Yet.

When that does eventually happen, he'll have the presence of mind to shape-shift first into an adorable black kitten, because those are still cute even when they're barfing.

[flowerette]

"Eccarius, is that you?"

Raina greets him with a charming smile, fingers extended for his hands so that she may kiss him upon the cheeks in an overly fancy fanfare of a welcome. Raina may share Tulip's face, but she is the complete opposite when it comes to manners and etiquette.

"Even more charming in person."

Momo Yaoyorozu | ota

[recommendations]

[ There's no need for the COS-TOMB for Momo and friends, as she's created her witch-girl costume from scratch, along with a matching wizard-boy version for Midoriya and wise-warlock costume for All Might. She's still not used to her teacher being here, and in such a different state than she's used to seeing him, but she'll make the most of it and show him what this version of America has to offer.

She's also here in support of the Endeavor Center, and to learn more about what they do there, so she is eager to talk to anyone who knows more about that. She has a million questions.

She enters herself in the kissing auction, since it's for a good cause. For the rest of the night she'll just be hanging out, mingling with the crowd or talking with Midoriya and All Might. By the time the fireworks show starts, she's feeling pleasantly tired and decides not to take the Porter back to Heropa, but to stay at the hotel for the night. ]

Tina Belcher | OTA

[continuousgroaning]

Tina shows up to the swearin, though she's not in much of a party mood. She and her boyfriend have been fighting, and she feels like a breakup is all but assured, even though they'd vowed to try long distance before going that far. So she doesn't even show up in costume; she tries to go up without one, but is persuaded into the Cos-Tomb. She spends a while playing with the various options to come up with a pun before deciding on a Chinese Food Dragon- wearing a dragon costume head and tail around a Chinese takeout box.

As she settles into the Lounge, she definitely feels out of place, like she's just a bit too young to be here. However, that doesn't stop her from appreciating the male servers- butts and abs abound. She tries out her moves on the dance floor, but watch out- she'll end up apologizing profusely if she ends up hitting you with her tail.

By the time the fireworks happen, however, she's exhausted and will probably end up curled up on a couch, dozing.

Alphonse Elric | OTA

[sonofgold]

Alphonse is excited for his first Halloween-themed party. He has trouble deciding on a costume, however, and decides to sample the wares in the Cos-Tomb, eventually deciding on dapper cat costume, complete with ears, whiskers, a tail, and a tuxedo. The look is completed by his cane; the cold weather is making him feel a little weak, and he knows by the end of the night he may well need it.

He's too young to drink alcohol at the lounge, so he instead ends up sampling a bunch of non-alcoholic drinks, entertaining people nearby by transmuting their drinks into slush and making miniature ice sculptures.

He stays away from the dance floor, considering how he's not feeling well physically, and feels he may be too young for the kissing auction, so instead he spends the rest of the night mingling.

[shesalittle]

[So, Karolina's attention is initially drawn less by the alchemy and more by her need to double check whether or not those drinks Al has have any booze in them. But once she sees a couple tricks, she smiles and heads over.] That's impressive.

[Her costume is punk rock themed, black faux-leather complete with facepaint and spikes.

Abigail Hobbs | OTA

[am_i_a_monster]

[Abigail enters the COS-TOMB, planning on designing a costume for herself that is very cute, perhaps a grey dog like Fumio.   She plays with the design and it becomes more silver than grey, and less of a dog.   She ends up with a wolf costume.  The hood on the costume covers the scars on the side of her head nicely and she has the cos-tomb add a furry scarf that matches the fur on the wrists and ankles, to cover the scar on her neck.  She leaves the machine and drop off her street clothes at the coat check.   Noticing someone else leaving the machine, she gives them a smile.] "I like your costume."

[She participates in the charity kiss auction., wanting to be more outgoing and to help charity.]

[Later in the evening, the sound of the first of the fireworks catches her by surprise.  She's made it to midnight of a swear-in without anything too crazy happening.  It's amazing.  She joins the crowd watches the fireworks in awe.   Each one seems to light up the entire sky.]  "It's beautiful." [She comments to a person near her.]

[devoutish]

[Alfie is much less ostentatiously dressed - his costume is, in fact, just a nice sweater, some dress slacks, and a pair of wingtip shoes. He'd held up the elevator line a bit because it had taken some convincing for them to let him through dressed so "normally", but in the end, he'd swayed them with the argument that modern clothes are a costume for him, that he'd bought them specifically for this costume party, and that anyone who knows him could attest to the fact that he stubbornly sticks to 1920s-style things in his daily life. And so here he is, possibly the only boring-looking person in the house.]

Mm, yeah; they do go all the way with the fireworks, don't they. Have you seen the ones that make pictures in the sky? I couldn't believe it, when I first arrived.

[bragnificent]

❚❚ BAR & LOUNGE

[ Dressed tonight in his own costume, complete with the yellow jacket -- although as the night progresses it stays slung over his shoulder more often than worn properly -- Reggie makes himself right at home in the lounge, his legs stretched out indulgently across one of the couches as he enjoys whatever finger foods pass him by on trays and the drink he has in front of him. And the company, when applicable!

Sometimes he's out by the bar itself though, mingling a little more directly. Just in case he needs it he has his fake ID ready as usual, but a lot of places here are lax on that front, whether the local drinking age is lower than 21 or if they're just willing to make exceptions for imPorts. And, given his powers, he doesn't need to be served alcohol in order to be drinking it anyway. He still mostly sticks to beers and fancy-looking, colorful drinks, because there's no harm in being a little indulgent, especially at a Swear-In seemingly designed around just that purpose.

Plus, it helps put him in a "generous" enough spirit to enter the kissing auction, although that wasn't going to be a hard sell regardless. ]

❚❚ FIREWORKS

[ Throughout the night and certainly as midnight begins to approach, Reggie can be found on the dance floor, either on his own or grinding close to or with someone-- maybe it's you! It's all in good fun, all in the interest of just having a good time; he's not actually here to make a move on anyone unless the spirit happens to move both him and his company in that direction. Sometimes these things just happen, or sometimes, also, they don't.

And when the fireworks start Reggie is of course outside on the balcony, leaning over the rail cheering. Probably high-fiving whoever's close enough and willing, too. ]

Bar & Lounge!

[flowerette]

[ At some point, Raina had approached Reggie in the lounge, sidling up to the cozy seat and lifting one finger from her glass to gesture toward his costume. ]

Queen, right?

[ It's always nice to see that some connections can transcend worlds. There had also been a Queen and Freddie Mercury in her own at one point, after all. ]

Anders | Dragon Age | OTA

[rebelhealer]

[Anders is new to this whole Halloween thing, but from what he's gathered, a large part of it is dressing up in a costume and giving away candy at the end of the month. He and Justice have been debating what kind of candy to give away, and dreading the idea of kids on sugar highs.

He came dressed as a medieval plague doctor, the idea being that he's dressing up in a historical period costume.

Anders can be found at the Gallery, looking out at the view of the city, taking off the beaked mask to enjoy the view at one point.

He's also going to check out the dance floor, even though he's really not a good dancer. But that doesn't stop him from subjecting everybody to his Anders' Spicy Shimmy. When was the last time he felt up for doing that?]

Armitage Hux | ota

[therewillbeorder]

[After a long week he made the impulsive decision to go to swear in. It seemed as if it would be an interesting event to attend. He had never really dressed up like this before, it took him a bit to find something to wear that would suit him. Eventually, he went with a nice suit and a mask to match for demon/red death look. In his opinion, it wasn't bad for a first attempt.

Thankfully the drinks were strong- he stayed around the bar and lounge area to see if anyone caught his interest.

He lingered long enough to watch the fireworks though by that point in the evening he may have been a little tipsy. Though the display was large, he was hardly impressed but then again, he wasn't surprised that the attendees were awed by a simple display. ]

[onlydoubts]

[ after the kiss auction ends, Bodhi, dressed as a vampire, lingers around the lounge area. He doesn't recognize Hux right off, in the mask and maybe he's had two or three drinks already and is starting to feel the effects.

he sliiiides up nearby, licking his fingers clean of chocolate and strawberry, only sparing Hux a brief glance. ]

Some party, eh?

Finn Onaru | The Elder Scrolls | OTA

[fireandhoney]

[Finn came dressed in a rather dark, Gothic outfit. Something dark, yet classy, and different from the casual outfits he usually wears.

His first stop is the bar, where he orders himself something fruity. Finn hangs out near the heat sources, since he doesn't really like the cold but it's a beautiful night out. He watches as one of the body-paint clad attendants passes by.]

I can't imagine that's too comfortable.

[Later in the night, he'll be watching the Fireworks, watching them with awe.]

The Gray Man | The Raven Cycle | OTA

[tenofswords]

[Mr. Gray's never really been one for parties, but there's always the chance of running into his favorite Irish punk at these events, or just others that he knows. It's also a good chance to make connections.

He's dressed up in a skeleton costume. His power changed the colors, so the black part is now super dark gray and the bones are very light gray. The skull mask was already gray anyway, so it was unaffected.

Mr. Gray explores the Gallery, admiring the view and the various decor. He can also be found at the bar, having a beer and looking out over the city.]

Kang | OTA

[governorkang]

[Luckily, Kang has a costume already so he can avoid any mishaps with the COS-TOMB: a pirate, but with a red and black striped kilt, no boots, and the shirt tailored for his wings. He's happy to chat with anyone that approaches him on the balcony, whiskey and the occasional snack in hand. He's not afraid to approach others, either.

He does avoid the sign-up tables as soon as he realizes what they're for, though, and makes a mental note to give a monetary donation later. Hopefully, no one else will sign him up as a joke.

The fireworks are beautiful, and he's grateful for the reserved room to crash in after the party wanes.]

Peter Graham | OTA

[petergraham]

Peter didn't want a costume but he felt pressured into it upon his entry into the building. He chose a generic superhero - giving him a padded fake muscular chest and a cape. Awkwardly, he made his way inside, intending to properly register to get the benefits and support. He didn't think he had much choice there either. It felt like it was what he was supposed to do and right now he was merely coasting along and trying not to think too much of all the implications of this place and his own file.

He attempted to mostly keep to himself but perhaps people would approach him.

At the end of the night - after being initially startled by the loud noise at start-up - he leaned on a windowsill and watched the glow of the fireworks, appearing wistful.

Negan | OTA

[neganomics]

[ Negan opts to avoid the whole dressing up thing. Not his style. Though one could argue he's already pretty dressed up, all things considered -- wearing a black suit jacket, black shirt, black pants and even a set of polished black shoes. Can't strut into a place like this wearing a jacket with crusted zombie blood and well-worn jeans. Even Negan's aware of that.

He can be found by the balcony, drink in hand -- staring out across the city thoughtfully. And when anyone approaches, he turns with a smirk. ]

Thought I'd secure the best spot to watch those fireworks. Been a long time since I seen some.

[ Unless you counted bullet fire. But Negan doesn't. ]

[devoutish]

How long is a long time, mate?

[Alfie asks, turning to face the man he's come to stand next to. He's dressed pretty normally himself - pressed slacks, a sweater, dress shoes - but since he usually dresses in his own home-brewed 1920s style, he'd been able to successfully make the argument to the door guards that this counted as a costume for him.]

Georgia Mason | ota

[choosetruth]

[Georgia is not dressing up for this ridiculous affair, and she will not be entering those machines. She comes wearing what she always wears--white shirt, black blazer, dark pants, press pass, and, of course, her sunglasses. The lights may be dim in here, but she's been to enough parties that she doesn't trust them to stay that way. She would like not to leave this place with a headache.

She stays far away from the kissing auctions. No thank you. She also will death glare anyone who tries to get her onto the dance floor. She isn't here for fun.

She's here to swear in, and she's here to observe. And she's here to beeline to the bar and get whatever passes for a Coke here.

And she's here to see if she can find anyone useful to talk to. She's always on the job. Now is no exception.]

[tenofswords]

[The Gray Man's having fun in moderation. He's not much of a dancer and he's keeping his drinking to a minimum. He also brought his own costume, which is a skeleton costume he got at the store.

He's taken off his skull mask for now, looking over at the lady who comes over.]

You don't look too thrilled to be here.

[It's an observation, nothing more.]

Raina | ota

[flowerette]

[ Wearing a few skimpy (and real) vines that passes as covered, Raina's attire isn't quite family friendly. But she's not trying to be. It's all about being alluring here. She's placed extensions in her shoulder length curly hair, causing it to cascade down to her mid-back and some over her chest -- giving additional coverage where the leaves might fail.

The vines obey her whims, though, blooming flowers occasionally, or thickening around her for additional coverage if she's entering an area with too many young people around. Playfully, she approaches someone -- a drink in one hand and the other extending -- live vines coiling around it and stretching outward in order to grow an apple from one of the branches. ]

Care to have a taste of forbidden fruit?

[ It's joking. And if the person she's speaking to is of age, almost a bit sultry. There's nothing poisonous about the apple if one does try it, though. In fact, it's quite delicious and fresh. ]

[mortalweapon]

[ The tall woman that Raina approaches is one of the attendees not in costume. Probably staff. Security, if the wire of her earpiece is anything to judge by. She'a dressed like a professional too — a well-fitting suit, every line pressed and neat to the long lines of her body. Her wild blue mane of braids and dreadlocks is pulled back from her face. When spoken to, she turns around to look at Raina with startlingly blank white eyes — blatantly alien, despite being set into a human-like face.

Muted recognition lightens the severity of her expression. ]

...Hello, Raina.

Red Action | ota

[huetrooper]

[ Red may look like a party girl, but she's always found events like this to be more boring than anything. And in this new place with a bunch of weirdos she doesn't know, it's especially so. Actually, for once in her life, she doesn't feel like she's even among the top 20 coolest people in the room. It's all pretty intimidating, especially when she's standing around dressed up like a pirate. Still, she's gotta try and keep her image in check here. So, she hangs out by herself in the lounge, going through her usual party routine -- leaning against a wall in a way that says "it's not that I'm awkward or shy, I'm just too cool for this," and waving over every server who walks by with a plate of hors d'oeuvres. Seriously, she is eating everything she possibly can without having to move from that wall.

She's also chuckling at everyone who walks by in a particularly stupid looking costume, because she can't help being a little judgey even when she's a nobody. ]

[choosetruth]

[Georgia's wearing all black and a pair of sunglasses, but don't be fooled. This isn't her Men in Black costume, this is just how she usually dresses.

She's also mostly sticking to the walls, though in her case she isn't even pretending to be cool, she just doesn't like dancing. What she does like is observing. And she's getting a pretty good read on Red.

Enough so that she eventually heads over.]

You look like you're having fun.

Karolina Dean | OTA

[shesalittle]

Karolina spends the first part of the night mingling, slipping onto the dance floor for a song or two at a time but mostly just making the rounds, trying to keep track of new faces that she sees. Well, as best as she can at a costume party. Her own costume is punk-rock themed, facepaint and sharp-looking adornments complementing black-faux leather (she did in fact set the COS-TOMB to specifically print imitation faux-leather, fully aware that she achieved nothing by doing so. Old habits die hard.

At the fireworks show, she sheds her bracelet and lights up herself, figuring one more source of bright colors and light shouldn't cause too much stir. By this point, she needs to spend some time in her natural form to enjoy any event that goes on as this swear-in does, but she can still be a little self-conscious about it. It's not exactly subtle, doing it this way, but she figures that she at least shouldn't get any complaints.

[sanguinespell]

They're not exactly attached at the hip all the way through the evening. Oh, to be sure, Nico gravitates back towards Karolina pretty regularly, and she'd rather be listening to The Plague at home while reading some Swedish mystery novel. Even if she fucking loves Halloween. But still, she breaks off pretty often to check on something, or to mingle with another group.

None of that matters now, though. A slow song starts. Probably something from Reverb & the Rabbitfolk, from the sound of it--it vaguely reminds her of "Nocturnal Me" or "The Killing Moon". More pressing than that, though? She wants to take advantage of the moment. So Nico finds her way back over to Karolina on the dance floor, smile widening. "Hey. Dance with me?"

ALL MIGHT | ota

[toshinorinori]

GALLERY LOUNGE

[ He's here partly to officially register and partly to be the sorta-guardian to his students, and when they picked a theme for their costumes he obliged with someone from a certain disney short, though his seven foot tall skeletal body has the robes hang loosely and the fake grey beard clashes with his shock of blond hair. An Attempt was made.

Now he's just awkwardly mingling, trying to remember the last time he was at a party like this. Especially since he can't drink. So he mostly listens to other people talk and nods along. You may also catch him after he's been cornered by a very brightly painted lady who keeps trying to stroke his fake beard, and he's trying to be disinterested but still friendly. Maybe this hero needs a rescue. ]

FIREWORKS

[ His beard has fallen off and he's stuffed it in a robe pocket but now he watches the lightshow with a smile. ]

America always loves its fireworks!

WILDCARD/I AM HERE
[ Spilled your drink on your outfit and ask for help getting back to the COS-TOMB for a change? Got your cat costume tail stuck in a doorway and yelp? You might find a man teleporting to your assistance. He'll be as surprised as you are. ]

Fireworks!

[fridgeflower]

[ Wow, that sure is a combination of extremely tall and extremely skinny. A new arrival, based on the exclamation. Or she's somehow missed this pretty distinctive-looking guy at earlier opportunities.

Anyway..! ]

Yeah! I guess that's true. They aren't usually a Halloween thing, but who's keeping track?

Where are you from?

william. ota.

[larped]

[ It's an old-fashioned suit he's wearing, though hard to place exactly what decade it's from. Not this one, that's for sure. It's simple, it doesn't attract attention, and the fact that there's a watch chain visible means it technically counts as a costume. No one wears watch chains anymore. No one who isn't a caricature, anyway. Checkmate.

If asked, William will offer varying answers on exactly what his costume is intended to be. His level of sincerity (read: bullshit) depends first on who's asking, and second on how late in the evening it is. If anyone needs him, wants him, or happens to run into him, he can be found all throughout the lounge holding a glass and scanning the crowd with the sharp-eyed focus of a man who's expecting someone.

That, and politely avoiding glancing anywhere below the shoulders on the scantily-clad servers. Jesus Christ, Logan. ]

[grandtheftequine]

So, what are you supposed to be?

[ A hand claps down on Billy's shoulder, Logan coming up from behind him and grinning, peering over the top of his aviators. There's a drink in his hand, as always, and he looks fully in his element in the way he always does at parties. ]

Petyr Baelish | ota

[baetiful]

[ Baelish was still dressed in elegant robes as per usual, although these were definitely a touch fancier than usual. And it is because atop his head is an elegant crown. Yes, he's come dressed as a king -- mockingbird symbols etched into the real silver and jeweled arches. Even if it is simply a costume, Petyr Baelish will ensure it is of fine (read: expensive) taste.

This Swear In is about Logan, and Baelish is merely here for support -- hanging on the outskirts of the rooms, engaging in conversations where he talks up the positive traits of their new ambassador -- what a fine Swear In this is and how bold Logan is for bringing something new to the table.

But while he is keeping away from the limelight, he cannot help but notice others doing the same. People hanging about, watching things, unsure of what to do beyond wait for the fireworks or the kiss auction. So Baelish extends an invitation, gesturing toward one of the cozy chairs beside him with a smile. There is no reason to be alone. ]

Care to have a seat?

[grandtheftequine]

[ Logan has hardly been shying from the limelight. He worked surprisingly hard on this, and he was determined to enjoy the evening. But nonetheless, he'd spotted Baelish at the outskirts of the crowds and made sure to seek him out shortly after. The mayor may not be taking credit for Logan's efforts publicly, but there's no denying that not even Logan's charm could've pulled this off without the generous support of his benefactor. ]

Mayor Baelish, glad to see you made it. [ Logan removes his aviator sunglasses as he approaches, holding a hand out to shake Petyr's in greeting. ] Enjoying yourself?

Terry McGinnis | OTA

[aboveand]

[Terry quite firmly refuses to wear a costume of any kind, to the point of almost getting into a fight with someone who attempted to get him into the cos-tomb. He worked in a costume shop for wearing various costumes to drum up business every day for almost 2 years. He wanted nothing to do with costumes for a while.

Once he gets around that little obstacle (and bending just the slightest bit by adding a 3D-printed eyepatch to his normal ensemble) he winds up eventually at the dance floor, working off steam, even if he thinks the musical choices are awful.

Eventually he takes a break, leaning up against the railing of the stage and looking off into the city beyond. It really is a nice night.]

[topmeup]

[His loss, as Max instead has completely embraced the campy nature of the holiday rocking the vampire hunter costume, but it's so warm he drops the coat. He drags it around a bit before needing a break from the room. Too much energy isn't always a good thing and body heat, strobe lights, and lots of electronics do give off a lot of heat.

So he makes his way to the side and throws the coat over the railing.]

Okay, next time, less leather.

[Is he talking to the other guy near him? Sure.]
