Closed Thrills & Chills Bash Open to ALL!!!

Grabbing his hand, they made their way out onto the empty dance floor. Would not be the first time. Something she had happily learned from Simon was that if you enjoyed doing something, do it like no one was watching.... or listening. It was a well established fact that AngelFyre could not sing her way out of a paper bag, so when it came to her singing, she really did refrain from subjecting unsuspecting folks to that ear splitting trauma, no matter how wonderfully wise her boyfriend's advice had been. Dancing, however, well that was a horse of a different color. Her only problem there had not been lack of talent but a lack of self-confidence.

She was not joking when she told him earlier that this music was not exactly easy to dance to, and then, as if by some divine Halloween stroke of providence, her ears were unmistakably picking up the opening notes to Michael Jackson's Thriller. Excellent! This was a classic, and while she knew her fellow would know it for sure, she thought there might be a good few folks standing around who might also know it as well. The intro was rather long, so she looked at Simon and had that gleam in her eyes that he knew so well. He knew it meant she had a plan.... sort of.

"How fun would it be if we had an impromptu Flash Mob type of dance to this?" she asked him with a playful grin. " You know it takes a few minutes to get past Vincent Price's rap, so how about we make our way around this group of ghouls and ask if any of them want to dance it with us? If they do, great. If not, you and I can do it anyway. What do you say? Meet you back here at the point right after Michael becomes zombiefied?"

Just plain giddy with excitement, AngelFyre leaned up to kiss her highly misunderstood monster softly on the lips and then disappeared in the crowd, asking those she knew and did not know if they cared to participate, assuring everyone she spoke to that knowing the dance steps was not necessary, nor was the need for a partner. All they had to do was channel their inner zombie and have some fun.

As she wandered through the crowd, Vincent Price's cameo rap started...

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood

The first person she ran into was Bailey Glade. What luck. If she could get Bailey on board, this was sure to be a hit. "Bailey, hi! Listen," and AngelFyre cupped her ear and pointed up directing Bailey's attention to the music. "They are playing 'Thriller'. Simon and I are hurriedly moving through the group of guests trying to get people to join in on the zombie dance at the end as one big flash mob. No partner or need to know the steps necessary. He and I will be up front and people can just follow us if they want to, or do their own thing. Spread the word.... and you join in as well, Missy! Tell Kim to spread the word, too, and drag him out there with you. He is a showman like Simon. Should not be too hard," and she laughed and raced off to gather more... bodies.

And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell

She next ran into a boy, he said his name was Oliver and that he was definitely interested. Fantastic! Then she bumped into Emma Wynn, fellow Hufflepuff prefect with Simon and AngelFyre's dueling partner for tomorrow's match against Slytherin. "I know you tend to be shy, Emma, but I promise this will be fun and everyone will be so busy doing their own thing that no one will be judging you. We are lining up over there in about a minute. I hope you come!"

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to share your doom

AngelFyre looked over to see Simon working the other side of the Ballroom and caught his eye, motioning for him to meet her up front. Then her eye was caught by fellow second year Hufflepuff Rita Su. They did not know each other, other than in passing, but they shared a couple of classes together. "Hi, Rita! How would you like to do a group dance to Michael Jackson's classic, 'Thriller'? If you do not know the steps, that is fine, just stand next to me or to Simon and do what we do. No partner necessary! Come on. It will be fun if you want to follow me."

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Then because time was drawing near, she made it to the area just as Simon did, both grinning from ear to ear. She was not really aware if anyone was actually going to join them or not, but no matter. They would have a grand time as always. Simon reached out for her hand before it was go time and squeezed it gently three times before letting it go. She mouthed 'I love you." but then hissed at him again in character before they were moving to the beat. OOC: dance starts 47 seconds in if you want to skip ahead.



Both ticking their necks quickly to the side with a shoulder lift. Both staring vacantly ahead. As usual, they were in perfect sync. It was obvious both had practiced the dance at some point and knew it well. AngelFyre's favorite move was something she had always come to think of as the 'I Dream of Jeannie Jumping Jack Slide'.



The song continued and AngelFyre was having more fun than she had a right to be having. She could not help but be impressed with Simon's moves, especially since he was rather constrained in his monster get up, but even so, the boy was smooth. At one point when they turned around to hunch walk in that direction, she was happily surprised to see some folks had joined them. She was not certain if she recognized any of them, but no matter. She was chalking this up to success.

As the song was coming to a close, she could hear Simon now singing the ending chorus and she had to smile...

"That this is thriller
Thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more
Than any ghoul would ever dare try

(Thriller, thriller night)
So let me hold you tight
And share a
(Killer, diller, chiller)
(Thriller here tonight)"

When it ended, she jumped into his arms laughing. "I am going to hold you to those song lyrics, handsome!' and she raised her eyebrows up and down rapidly three or four times. "It may not have been as slick as our Bieber concert performance, but I think it will do nicely. For a fellow in platform shoes and shoulder pads, you have very impressive moves, Mr. Kincaid," she whispered in his ear before playfully biting his earlobe. "I warn you, now, though. If they play 'The Monster Mash', I am dragging you back out here for Round 2.

I had seen a poster on a bulletin board advertising a party. I had already been to one, a small one, that was so much fun. I could not just skip this one! The poster said to bring snacks, so I slipped in to the kitchen, and asked the house elves to make something. They didn’t care, and wanted to help me. I decided to make three snacks, fruit pumkins, graveyard pudding, and spider cupcakes.

I started with the cupcakes because I knew they would take the longest to make. I baked thirty cupcakes, not knowing how many people would be at the party. I then made some icing, three different flavors, chocolate, orange and vanilla. I drew a spider on all the cupcakes with the icing, and took candy eyes and placed them on.

I was done with the cupcakes so I started on the graveyard pudding. I whipped up a simple chocolate cake, and popped it in the oven. I also took some chocolate cookies and put them in a blender, making edible dirt. I got some pudding out and some tall cups, and when the cake was finished I plopped a chunk down in to the bottom of the cup. I grabbed pudding, gummy worms and the fake dirt, and alternated layers of those.

For the fruit pumpkins, I took oranges, and peeled them, leaving them in their circular shape. I took a small chunk of celery, and stuck it in the top of the fruit. I was done. I asked the nearest house elf to take them down to the party, and he gladly did it for me. Wow. I never knew how much I like to cook! I told myself.

I went back up to the dorm, and grabbed my dress and threw it on. I thought the dress was itchy, but I wanted to wear it. Without the dress the costume looked stupid. I grabbed the cloak and threw it on, It was time to go to the party.

I began descending the stairs to the ballroom, trying my best not to fall in my heals. I finally got to the ball room, and Micheal Jackson’s Thriller was playing. Oh. My. Gosh. I know this one! without any thought, I made my way to the dance floor. I began dancing along and screaming the lyrics to the song.

Too wrapped up in the splendor of his surroundings, the fox easily fell right into the Goblin King's trap, tripping over the long, slender legs set out to waylay him. It was only the astonishing speed with which the royal stood, arms out to catch him, that suggested to Ginyami the fault of the accident might not have been entirely his own. But then again, Valentin was a Seeker. It would have made sense that he had quick reflexes.

Hoping the crimson paint on his face obscured the faint blush that spread at having been caught in another's arms, the Mahoutokoro student quickly attempted to recover his balance to stand on his own and recompose himself. "Ah...I should have known," he mused aloud in response, re-arranging his clothing with a grin. "Where there is a labyrinth, of course there would be the Goblin King. You say it's not too late to turn back, Your Majesty, but who would turn back with the opportunity before them to spend time in your enchanting company?"

He raised his brows at the Durmstrang teen's comment on the look in his eyes and his curiosity as a fox. It made him wonder just how familiar his peer was with the stories of kitsune. "It is true, trouble tends to accompany curiosity, but what is adventure without a little trouble?" He chuckled softly before tilting his head. "A gift? For me?"

Eyeing the crystal orb that was extended toward him, his breath caught as the light was reflected in such a way so as to shatter into colors that painted them all over. Valentin's words seeped into him like music, assuring him that if he turned the crystal a certain way and looked into it, it would show him his dreams. Then, to the fox's surprise, he asked what he saw.

Accepting the orb that was released into his possession, Ginyami stared at it a minute, the other boy's silken intonations still echoing in his mind. At last, he looked up into that mithril gaze and beamed with sly mischief glittering in his own. "To witness and know thine own dreams is a gift indeed," he acknowledged, "but to share said dreams without caution could turn out to be an act of sheer folly. I fear, dear king, that it is your curiosity that may bring you trouble. Yet if you still wish me to say...what is it that I may ask in return?" His smile turned coy. "The knowledge of what you see in your crystal, perhaps...?"

“... fine. Have it your way~” The boy turns away from her, as the white-haired makes a very rude gesture with her finger to the boy behind his back. Even though his evil little plan works on her, she knows he won't get away with it that easily. She would never back down from the likes of him. So what is her plan next? Good question! actually, this is the plan that was inspired by Hanako himself, which is annoying him until he gave up and reverses the spell that he put on her. So she follows the boy to the food table, still looking very vexed. It was when the boy picks up a piece of cookie she rushed and push it out of his hand so the cookie would fall to the floor. Pea raised one of her eyebrows and smirked.

Reducio

If this is the game he wants to play, then she is more than happy to comply. Because he is not going to win this game that easily with her, he just chooses the wrong person to bother. It was then he grabbed another cookie, but her hand quickly slapped it out of his hand again straight to the floor. She could tell that Hana already starting to get annoyed. Pea shrugs at him and gestured to her mouth, signing that if he wanted it to stop he just needs to undo the spell.

But before Hana could reply, someone else came in their direction. A cute boy wearing some kind of clown costume? and so is his *presumed* date? She is not versed in pop culture to understand some of these people's costumes sometimes. But! they could not see her like this! this is totally embarrassing. Her pale face started to get paler, from both anger and panic. She could tell that Hana is very amused by the entrance of this gentleman because surely he gonna use it to embarrass her again. Pea would not let it happen! not again.

She nodded to the girl who left to get refreshments, leaving her date to them. Now she is torn for another dilemma. Should she embarrassingly ask for help from this cute boy using stupid sign language, or she tries to be as quiet as she can so he wouldn't notice her? Both options sound stupid to her.

Permission to godmod is granted by Hanako.
Action :(still under the tongue-tying spell produced by Hanako Tone) trying to annoy him until he undoes the spell.
Interacting : @Hanako Tone, Verona Carlito Andreas @Cassandra Ironwoods, @Haley Rose

Bailey smiles as more and more people showed up. @Kim Sato’s Thrills and Chills Bash was a smashing success!! And would surely go down in Hogwarts History!
@Oliver Brown was there as Jack, just as he had been for @Edward Edwards Halloween Party at the beginning of the month.
@Haley Rose came up to Kim, and introduced Joker @Cassandra Ironwoods as Verona. Bailey smiled at the pair. It was nice to see a few muggle movie and comic characters- if reminded her of the costume party her grandparents would host for Halloween.
Bailey little Hogwarts sister of sorts, @Taisia Elidine Stroudefielde showed up and Bailey was happy she had come down.
@Sienna Lenoir came up to speak with Kim. She must have spotted Bailey who was making sure everything was perfect as more and more people piled in, because she was making sure to steer clear.
Why does she not like me? Bailey wondered, but as she started circled back to Kim, Bailey watched as more people entered. This included a first year, @Aurora Griffith, and a friend of baileys, @Mina Starr. Mina came up to bailey, which made Bailey smile. When the girl said it had been a moment, Bailey agreed with a soft “Yes it has!” Mina complemented Baileys outfit, and Bailey blush and thanked the other girl. “Aww thanks im glad you like it! I love yours too, you’re a … falling Angel, if I’m not mistaken- correct?”
After she finishes talking to Mina Bailey would continue to circle the part, watching as @Quinn Root, @Sirin Liu, the well loved Ravenclaw prefect @Bubba McGarry, someone from another school, Valentin@ Aida Mòrsgor-Ama Ellwood, @Rita Su, another foreign student, Ginyami Midorimori @Jack Burnett, @Monica Evans, and @Galton Lansdale.
Bailey smiled widely as @Simon Kincaid and his darling @AngelFyre McCubbin entered. Bailey was friends with both of them, separately, but loved seeing them together.
Next @Hanako Tone entered. Bailey didn’t know how to define her somewhat friendship with Hannah. They had only met a few weeks ago at the Slytherin versus Ravenclaw Quidditch match, and their interaction had been interesting.
Interesting is one way to put it Bailey though, watching out of the corner of her eye as Hannah and another snek, @ Pea Elena Fowl talked, or maybe argued? Bailey wasn’t sure but she definitely was not going to get into the middle of it.
@Emma Wynn ran in then, seeming to think she was late. Bailey smiled. She and Emma were good friends, but bailey wished they had a chance to talk or to hang out more often.
Bailey was distracted then as AF ran up, and
started talking. The other girl was clearly excited, and was planning something. Bailey was all for it, and smiled. She agreed to AF’s plan to have a flash mob. She told Bailey to tell Kim to spread the word, and Bailey accepted this mission gladly.
She ran up to Kim, and dragged him to the dance floor while explaining. “AngleFyre is organizing a flash mob- it’s a muggle thing- and I’m dragging you to take part. There’s not getting out of it, I know you can dance.”
Bailey was dancing away as she saw, out of the corner of her eyes, @Charlie Jacobsen entering and joining the dance. Bailey smiled- she truly was having a great time.
When the dance was over, Bailey walked over to the snack and food table to get a snack. Maybe someone would come up to her, or maybe she’d just eat until Kim started the games.

Open to interactions,
Sorry for such a long post I’ve been meaning to post for weeks but it never happened…

“You are a brave fox, indeed,”

To be told that by the taller youth only worsened the stain upon Ginyami's complexion as he drank in his silken tones. One could have taken the statement as a compliment, as it was likely meant, but the fox chose to have it serve as a reminder and a warning to himself not to be too greedy. To ask too much too quickly could have just as easily turned away the majestic king as drawn him in. He had to be careful of boundaries, but that was difficult when he had not yet found Valentin's and there was still so much he wanted to know about him.

Though he had been the one to propose it, the mask-bearing teen honestly hadn't expected his wish to be granted. His smile broadened at his companion's request to stand still and he obeyed readily, poising himself in such a way to allow an easy view into the flawless crystal. What he didn't expect was the party's promise of fun and an increased pulse to be fulfilled so soon as Valentin came up behind him before leaning in.

He was so close Ginyami could breathe in his scent, sweet and enticing and mixed with the smell of leather from his costume, and the Japanese boy wondered if the other could sense his heartbeat at such a proximity. He regarded the king as he peered into the orb, watching the shape of his lips change as he first inhaled, then exhaled after a beat. Valentin's breath tickled his hair against his face and he shivered slightly at its touch.

“Well, then, I have my answer for you when you are ready,” the goblin king whispered as though his answer was something Ginyami needed to prepare himself for; as if it were knowledge he might not wish to possess. “Afterwards, would you care to join me in this dance?”

"I am ready," Ginyami assured him, though again wondered if he had perhaps asked too much. The new expression on Valentin's face and the emotion etched in his features caused the fox to second-guess himself. Still, he maintained his careful smile and nodded in response to the question posed to him. "It would be my pleasure, Your Highness."
