Who: Everyone!
What: A dance. :|
When: October 31st-November 1st
Where: The hotel ballroom in LucetiLand.
Summary: Here is the post describing the event!
Rating: Uhhh anywhere from G-R.

At the door there stands a droid; he's wearing a very snazzy tux, and collecting the invitations. If you don't have an invitation, don't worry!

Just get the hell in that room. Thank you.

The ballroom is enormous, more than enough to accommodate you and your fellow captives. The lighting is overall somewhat dim to set the atmosphere; there are tables bunched together at one end of the room, and a rather large dance floor at the other (complete with lights, strobe and spotlight, and a DJ-droid in a sequined suit and sporting a hangman's noose around his neck). To the side, lengthy tables loaded with all sorts of partyriffic snacks and drinks. And of course, droids milling about in the same sharp suits the one at the door was clad in, all with little spooky variations to add festivity -an arrow through the head, Frankenstein bolts through the neck, vampire fangs, etc- as they seem to be setting chairs, cleaning up used plates and cups, and generally stopping anyone from sneaking out the windows or doors.

It can be noted, however, that the droids are terribly outnumbered.

You can join in the festivities; take a seat and wait for a friend or a date, have a snack or try to escape. Just make sure to make the night memorable.

Because there is something lurking outside...and if you leave to investigate, you might not come back.

Nami grins. Well, Noel has chosen just the right answer to save her from that particular embarrassment, because it's not like she'll throw her friend at anyone Noel doesn't pick out.

However, this might frighten her more, who knows? "In that case," Nami announces sweetly, "You'll just have to dance with me."

And then she grins.

Wait. What? Dance with--?

What's this feeling? Is that Noel's brain breaking?

Wait, no. She'd die if that happened. But still, dancing with Nami? No, no, it wasn't Nami; it was just the thought of dancing with anyone. That's why she was suddenly turning so red.

"Oh... n-no, I," her legs felt wobbly, "I can't dance! I'd... I'd probably step on you, o-or I'd trip over the food stand, a-and..."

No Nami please no oh god why are you doing this whyyy.

"It's all right!" Nami beams. "I can't dance either!"

She totally can. But the horrible wench is taking Noel by the wrist and tugging her to the dance floor. She's not entirely heartless, though - if Noel puts up a real fuss, Nami will redirect them both to the buffet instead. There's no sense in humiliating the poor girl.

"Ah-no!"

Too late, though. She was already dragging the poor girl to the dance floor.

"N-Nami, I don't think it's--!" She couldn't really find the words to tell her to stop, however. At the same time, though, she just wanted to run out of here as fast as possible.

Wait.

"Oh, Nami! L-look, is that a buffet?" Noel pointed out. "H-have you eaten something today? I-I haven't. Do you want to see what they have?"

Her only hope was the buffet table now.

And that's her cue. It's okay. Nami really won't be upset by not dancing with Noel. Instead, she veers for the buffet table with a giggle. "Sounds like a good idea. I'm hungry."

Perfect. Noel wasn't going for that.

"Let's go, then. It looks good."

And thus, she began to steer her way through the crowd and towards the table.

Though some of the food looks a little horrifying, Nami will grab a plate and pick some of the less ...Halloween styled treats. ... is that a bowl of blood over there?

There are a lot of people here, and she wonders if Noel really knows any of them. Though one example springs to mind.

"So do you think your Major Kisaragi will turn up?" She keeps her tone friendly, because Noel did say he wasn't normally one for trying to cut people down, so she'll given him the benefit of the doubt for now.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!?" Here comes Luffy rushing over to the buffet table only to be surprised that his observations from far away were correct. There were eye balls, blood, and other human parts EVERYWHERE on the table. Oh my God. "THEY WANT US TO EAT PEOPLE?! IS THAT WHAT TODAY IS ABOUT!?" Ready to be embarrassed, Nami?

Nami's reply to Noel is lost in that scream. Oh, god. Here we go. She stops herself from slapping a palm to her face if only because she'll ruin the hours of work she's done on it.

"Luffy, I don't think it's real."

She hopes it's not. But other people are eating and they're not freaking out, so either it's not real or the three of them are the only sane ones in a terrarium of cannibals.

...sane by comparison, anyway.

Unfortunately, Luffy just killed Noel's appetite. She stared at her empty plate of food.

But maybe there was something that looked like real food? The girl began to scan around the table, looking for something that looked edible.

"What?" He said as he poked some of it. "But it looks really real. Does it taste like people?" 'Cause Nami would know how people taste right? He then glanced over to Noel.

"Hey, is this that Nel person from before?"

"No, this is Noel. Noel, meet Luffy." Nami grins. "And no, Luffy, it doesn't. Try some."

Not that she's tried any herself. But Luffy is distinctly her official taster in this situation.

"Nel"? Well, it was close enough, she supposed. To be polite, Noel smiled, waving a little at Luffy.

"It's nice to meet you, Luffy," she nodded.

"Oh, Noel! I thought it was Nel." He looked over in her direction and smiled. "Nice to meet ya."

He then turned his attention to the food. It looked kinda bad, but he decided that he should taste just a little. "Well...if it's not people." He slowly takes a small bite. And a bigger bite. And a bigger bite. And now he's mauling the table.

Luffy's eagerness means the food is definitely edible! ...well, by Luffy's standards anyway. She could get mad at him for his table manners, but it seems like a waste of time. Instead she just sighs and is kind of glad she picked a plate of food up before Luffy got here.

"Luffy's the captain of our crew," she says by way of explanation to Noel. "And always hungry. Try not to look appetizing in front of him."

Wh-what? He eats people? No, no. That was just a figure of speech, right?

... Right?

Noel watched as Luffy violently scarfed down inch after inch of food.

Oh god. Maybe he did... no. Don't be stupid, Noel.

"Ca-captain?" Noel blinked. Up until this point, Noel had no idea that Nami was apart of a band idea. It'd certainly be interesting to find out, though.

"Yeah," he said as he ate more food. He was talking and stuffing more food in his mouth at the same time. "Nami is my navigator. She's really good when she's not a jerk." he says this rather bluntly as if it's not insulting at all.

Oh, really Luffy? Nami gives Noel a winning smile, reaches out with one hand and shoves Luffy's head into the plate of food he was just eating.

"He's absolutely right," she says. Sweetly.

Sorry, Luffy. Nami managed to make Noel giggle at the display.

Nami you DOUCHBAG! He's not going to say anything, he's just going to GLARE at you Nami and slowly start to eat again.

Hey, he's the one who called her a jerk. Nami pokes her tongue at him like a little kid, and moves on to sample the punch. Hmm, certainly tastes a lot more ...alcoholic now.

For now, Noel is just going to keep to herself.

She's a little shy. Wait, you already knew that.

Freaking Nami. Now there's a little food in his afro. And his face, but YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE AFRO. Anyway he's going to look over at Noel and get a little curious about her outfit. "So what are you dressed as?"

Nami's not repentant in the slightest, you know. But she does sort of like the afro - not that she'd ever admit it - so while Noel answers Luffy's question, she'll surreptitiously pick some of the food bits out of it.
