The Best Halloween Party [Comet Event Thread]

Hana had prepared for this day long in advance. She did her shopping three days before buying the food she planned to prepare personally and some new appliances for the occasion. Yesterday she did a thorough cleaning, which admittedly took longer than expected. And for the day of the party she actually showered first thing in the morning. And to be even more bizarre Hana woke up at nine in the morning, which was three hours earlier than usual. She wanted to make sure everything was set for the party. Her party guests, Daisuke and Ann, were scheduled to arrive at five o'clock in the evening. They were permitted to wear their costumes, though she didn't exactly make it a requirement. The mentioning of costumes was primarily for Daisuke, who she thought was still into that sort of thing. She figured if she got him excited about dressing up he was bound to come. Ann showing up to the party was a hit or miss. Hana wasn't expecting her to show up after their last dispute at the bath house. But she was the only other person she knew of in Kirigakure at a semi-personal level. She wasn't exactly over Arisu or Inarie for flaking the last time, and Bryn she imagined was too busy training.

Time passed as she prepped her party stuff. Her bed served as the gaming corner. It made sense seeing as her television was mounted on the wall. She dug her old gaming console out of her closet and fired up her favorite game of all time: Resident Evil 4.

She was excited the console still worked, but she wouldn't begin playing until she was done with her prep work. Keeping in mind that Hana's flat was a studio apartment she had to work with the limited space she had. Towards the center of the apartment room were couple sp00ky halloween games. A large plastic bucket (you know, the ones with the robe handles?) sat in the middle of the room filled with water. This bucket had exactly sixteen apples being an equal number of Granny Smith and Red Delicious. The Apples had a small sticker on the bottoms out of plain sight with a number written on them. What those numbers meant would soon be discovered by her guests. The other game she had planned is actually a game she made herself. It involved a strangely unique dart board that was no doubt handcrafted by Hana judging by its simplistic use of plastic straws, tape, a sharpie marker, and Elmer glue.

Hana wore her usual garb as she brought out the food. Of course she had to order takeout along with a standard chocolate cake with strawberry frosting, a slushie machine, pizza, soda drinks, chips, and a platter of chicken tendies with fries. It was all fairly poor in nutrition, but tasty. She ran the slushie maker and made a quick cherry slush for herself to see how well it performed. She was not disappointed. With the scene set she returned to her bed with her drink resting on her nightstand resuming her favorite game of all time.

Daisuke got word of the party, which is an enticing idea since he hadn't really been to a halloween party ever since he was a kid, he saw this in a positive light because it was another chance to get a bit more social interaction, more so of the good kind since his time with Kitsuki was... uneasy, which is the lightest way to put it. Regardless, he'd move on from that at the moment and focus on this party, having the entire day before five in the evening. He searched through several cultures for the best halloween costume he could muster, and decided to pick something that would be a play on the Kaguya Clan. He printed out an image of skeletor and did his best to make a costume in the small time he had. He wasn't good with making costumes, but he did have a skull mask lying around, a hoodie and some baldrics which he could attach. That was probably the best he could get going for the costume.

In the end, he ended up wearing long black pants, going barefoot along with a black hoodie that's cut off around the middle of his stomach, with two leather brown baldrics connected to the hoodie from the front to the back and a white skull. It may not be the best costume of skeletor, but he made it work in the short time he had.

Afterwards, he took it easy until 4:55 PM, since Hana's apartment is only a level away from his own. He didn't have to worry about his costume being socially awkward with anyone else either, since he's only walking up a set of stairs. He would only bring his keys with him, to lock up his apartment behind him and rushed up to Hana's door. He gave two solid knocks to the door and simply waited, he was curious to see Hana's reaction to his costume. She'd probably consider it childish and if this was going to be a big party, he might even get laughed at but still, he had some of his life as a teenager left and he's going to enjoy the aspects of being one before he becomes a full-fledged adult.

Hana managed to get further than, lets say, an average player would in her game before the first knocks sounded from the door. There was no denying it was her favorite game as her method was perhaps the most efficient. When she heard the knocking she paused her game, well aware who the first arrival was. There was absolutely no reason for Daisuke to be late given he was a flight of stairs away. Even though it was just a two person party, Hana would be satisfied if only Daisuke managed to make it. Part of her was expecting Ann to be a bit reluctant to show up given their first and confrontational meeting. But she was the only other person Hana actually knew somewhat. She tried her cousins before, however it seemed they had better things to do than meet someone new. She'd walk to the door with a bit of pep pacing faster than usual. Turning the knob she'd open her door to the first guest which was, you guessed it, Daisuke.

His costume was shoddily put together, but it all managed to turn out accurate to what he was portraying. Hana was loosely familiar with Skeletor having only known him from a certain YouTube parody music video. The meme has long lost its tastefulness in her opinion. "Daring today, aren't we? You sure have a thing for bones it seems. You'd seem like the kind of Kaguya lad who'd randomly sprout them out of their body to try and impress the girls." She said as a medium roast not attempting to drive the boy off by coming off as too strong. Stepping aside she'd let him enter before shutting the door behind him and locking it. "There's the slushie machine where you can serve yourself a slush. Soda, cake, chinese, and pizza. Oh, and chicken tendies." The appliance titled 'Slush-Ease!' was already churning two different flavors. To the left was a floozy red slush, which Hana had the courtesy to label "Cherry" with a yellow sticky note and black pen. Next to that was a neon green mixture labeled "Apple" suggesting a sour green apple flavor.

The concession was that reminiscent of a child's birthday party or that of an unskilled young woman. Still, there was enough to satisfy anybody's tastes aside from its poor quality and lack of homemade prep. Despite that, Hana seemed quite proud of what she had accomplished as she grabbed a single cheese flavored potato chip with a steady grin of satisfaction on her face as she made her way back to bed. "Oh!" She exclaimed followed by a crunch and chewing before she had enough room in her mouth to talk coherently. "Have you played Resident Evil 4? It's a really well-made game. It has the perfect combination of action and horror." She'd give Daisuke time to diddle around the snack bar before going further. She figured since they were waiting for Ann it would be the perfect time to play around the game console for a bit before they moved onto more official game activities.

The door opened for Daisuke after a reasonable wait, and she already went onto roasting him. It was typical of Hana to do so, she liked to get her digs in every now and then to which Daisuke didn't mind at this point, as long as it didn't cross any boundaries. "Nice to see you as well, Hana." Daisuke went through the door, seeing the treats and beverages as she listed each one, pretty standard choices but that isn't bad by Daisuke's standards, he likes the more simplistic foods.

He put his hood down, looking around the apartment and seemed a bit... disappointed, there weren't other people? he wouldn't mention that to her though, not wanting to incite another spitroast from her. He took a plastic plate and put two slices of ham and cheese pizza on his plate, it's probably his favorite one. The preferred crust is deep pan, with how soft it is but the standard crust is okay as well. He took a can of pepsi max along with him and followed Hana, being all snacked up and ready.

It didn't surprise her that she's a gamer, he wouldn't of guessed it on his own, with it being one of those things where as soon as she displayed the hobby, it'd make sense someone like her would be into it. As for the game itself, he grew up playing different games and the resident evil series didn't come along with that. "I've heard good things about it but I haven't played it, no. You can show me." he sat down on the bed, eating away at his pizza and putting his can on the nearest stand.
