What's a Hero Without A Mask?

[mightthinkthat]

WHO: Francis Urquhart and Party Goers!
WHERE: Native Hotel
WHEN: Halloween Night
WHAT: Masquerade
WARNINGS: None yet.

Working with Papyrus and the hotel staff, Francis knows how to put together a party. He chose a theme of Machiavelli, with rich furnishings and dramatic flowing fabrics. Papyrus added his own touches on top of it, adding that needed spooky air. 

The man himself is in a black suit with this mask, greeting everyone that comes in at the door. Security is checking anyone who comes in for weapons and Francis, if he has doubts about the intentions of the new guest, gives them special attention: using his hypnotism. He'll make sure that everyone is here to behave themselves and enjoy the evening.

Look, only one of us has an excuse to be out at a stupid fucking hour like that, and it's me. You're going to need to find something else to hide behind.

[helpline]

Again, finding parts for a telepathic enhancer! What's so hard about that?

[deadtective]

The fact that you're never going to get that shit working, at four in the morning or afternoon.

[helpline]

So you think! Once I find this world's equivalent of a crystal from Metebelis 3, I'll have it working like that!

[ and 'that' is accompanied by a snap of the fingers....right in Hazel's face. ]

[deadtective]

[that would probably be a much more effective gesture if Hazel's actual face and expression were visible underneath the mask. all he really gets for his troubles are an irritated snort and having his hand batted out of the way with a family-size candy bar.]

Yeah, I'm sure. We'll all be holding our breath on that one.

[helpline]

[ When Hazel bats his hand out of the way with a candy bar, the Doctor...tries to snatch that candy bar out of her hands because he got some sort of crappy cinnamon candy, everybody knows those are the worst, he'd like chocolate to make his mouth taste better now. ]

In that case, I eagerly await proving you wrong.

[deadtective]

[she lets him have it with only cursory grumbling, ostensibly because it's the point of the holiday. really, though, it's because she got some of that hot pepper prank candy with the purposefully misleading labels. dig in, bro.]

Good for you! Everybody needs an impossible goal to shoot at.

[helpline]

[ Victory! With a small little nod, the Doctor starts unwrapping the candy bar before taking a large bite out of it. Actual chocolate. He has never been so pleased that it's actual chocolate and not something with coconut or (even worse) almonds in it. ]

In that case, what's yours?

[deadtective]

A normal life, most of the time.

[it sounds like she's joking but haha...hahahaha....

meanwhile she just crosses her arms and waits. even if this doesn't work, at least she'll have a better understanding of his heat tolerance for the next time. everything is a learning experience!!]

[helpline]

Really?

[ wow that's boring. Don't mind him as he eats more of the candy...wait a moment. The Doctor can't help but scrunch up his nose with a frown. ]

Do you have anything in there that's actual sweets?

[deadtective]

[she sniggers unkindly]

Hey man, it's called trick or treating for a reason. If you want something nice then you need to fight for it.

[helpline]

I've suffered through two of your terrible candies already, that's fighting for it enough!

[deadtective]

Considering how long it took me to get all this? Not really.
