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.

"I've blown through all of my tokens. Got a lot of prizes, had a lot of fun. I think I got everything I could out of the park." He smiled, folding his arms. "Well, Halloween's pretty similar in the Netherworld. Though I've never been to a party like this before. But I suspect Rozalin would like to throw something like this someday."

"Perfect plan, perfect week, I'd say! That's the way to do it!" Sonic replied, pleased at Adell's response. "It's been a while since I've been to a party like this too! Rozalin is someone you know at home?"

Sonic paused for a moment, looking at a passing droid that had an arrow through its head. "Heh, even the food and those droids are all into the Halloween thing. Weird, I kinda wonder who got them in costume or if they did it themselves. ... Or maybe I don't wanna know, heh."

Adell nodded slowly. "Yeah. Rozalin is a woman I know back home. She's very important to me." He paused. "Uh, I won a prize that looked like her at the carnival, actually. So I can show you what she looks like later."

The demon hunter glanced over to one of the droids. He snorted a chuckle. One of them had Groucho Marx glasses and plastic nose/mustache thing. It looked positively ridiculous. "I don't want to know either, but it's pretty funny either way."

"Oh, nice, thanks! Always nice to see and know people who are important to my friends, of course!"

Sonic laughed when he saw the same droid Adell had seen. "Yeah, it's weird to think these are the same droids that do all the kidnappings and stuff. Oh, man, there's gotta be a way to program them or somethin' so they'll stop doin' that."

Adell raised an eyebrow.

"Those things seriously don't look that tough. They must be if they can haul us all off on a whim, but I've beaten down things that look a lot stronger. But you're probably right, that would be the only way to stop them," Adell stated while folding his arms over his chest. "Still, at least they're not hurting anyone tonight."

"Heh, that's what I thought when I first saw 'em. Robots and droids back home? Yeah, scrap metal in seconds! But don't let these guys fool you though, they move fast."

Sonic sort of smirked as he watched a droid clean up after a few of the guests, but reminded himself not to get too overconfident himself. "They aren't, you're right. But it'll be back to business to them and for us after all of this is over. Guess we can't have fun all the time without some work!"

"Guess so. Though I wouldn't really call our day-to-day stuff here work," Adell said, unease creeping into his voice. "Really, I got to thinking about something when some guy posted a safety report of one of the roller coasters the other day."

He shifted in closer to Sonic, lowering his voice so as to not alert anyone else nearby of the conversation. "I think we're just being watched by them. Like some sort of sick TV show, or something. I mean, it's probably more than just that in the long term, but..."

The blue hedgehog had seen that report as well. He did think twice about the park and its mysterious appearance, and how it was understandably a cause for concern, but it really hadn't stopped him from having fun either.

"I know, I shoulda been more careful before tryin' anything out, but it didn't seem to be too dangerous. We always hafta be careful since it involves them all the time. They made it and everything here. The park showed up overnight, I mean, that's already pretty impossible anywhere else, I'd think."

He crossed his arms, continuing to consider the issue. "You mean watched as in right now? Cuz we're always bein' watched by them, not like cameras in the rooms or anything, or at least, I hope not. But somehow, they're observing us and doin' experiments for a reason. ... He did say it was a vacation, but it could be nothin' other than another experiment too."

"Well, yeah, there's the studying thing. But I can't but think the Malnosso get some cheap entertainment out of all of this too."

"The thing with that? Yeah, they do, I don't doubt it," Sonic replied. "But I'm not gonna worry 'bout it so much when the important thing is tryin' to get home, as hard as that sounds like to do at this point."

"I hear that," Adell agreed. "Though, I do have to admit," he stated, watching two droids push an unlucky couple together on the dance floor. "...that sort of thing right there is pretty funny."

Sonic glanced over to the couple now forced to dance together.

"Heh, you're right, though you can't really blame 'em. It's a party, you're supposed to have fun!"

"Just glad I found a date for this so that won't happen to me," Adell chuckled.

"Heh, they wouldn't let you in without one! So who's your date?" Sonic asked.

"Rebecca and I came in together, actually. Figured it would be easier to go with a friend than deal with a droid getting cranky."
