Halloween Party (open RP)

[nerdherdchuck]

ooc: This post is open to everyone. Your character can drop by IC, metaly or via bendy time too. Whatever works. :) Feel to play and have fun!

Chuck donned his ren faire ruffled shirt and vest once again. Although he would eventually break into the Sandworm costume, he thought to have something costume-ish on in the meantime.

The courtyard outside Chuck and Ellie's apartment was decorated with Halloween lights and spooky decorations. Music played as costumed guests mingled with one another while a couple were helping themselves to the snacks and punch set up on a table at the edge of the courtyard.

Well of COURSE she's going to show up to her brother's party. In fact, she took off early from another event just to be here because she cares that much.

Besides, the cozier events tended to be so much more fun anyway.

So there she was in her cute little fifties pin up costume, wondering what the proper etiquette was for these kinds of things.

Chuck saw K'tanya arrive and walked over to her. "Happy Halloween, sis." He smiled and then said, "Nice costume!"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"What, this old thing?" Then she grinned and looked him over for a moment before lifting an eyebrow slightly. "Pirate?"

Chuck smiled. "It still looks very nice." He then glanced at himself and said, "Well, yeah, pretty much. It's basically what I wore to the ren faire I went to this year. When Morgan arrives, I'll get into the Sandworm costume with him but for now, I wanted to be in some sort of costume."

"Sandworm?" She's not entirely sure what he's talking about, but it sounds interesting.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Chuck nods. "Yeah it's the huge alien worm thing from the 'Dune' movie," he explains.

She brightens immediately. "Oh! I think I saw that one once on a date. Sting was in it, right?"

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh, that's the one!" Chuck then grins, glad someone else had heard of the movie.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"You know, You are totally going to have to explain that one to me one of these days cause I had NO idea what was going on most of the time. Oh, and that one little girl kind of freaked me out a bit."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Chuck laughs. "Sure. I definitely wouldn't mind. And yeah. She was a bit creepy." He then changes the subject and offers, "Can I get you anything to drink or anything?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Oh good, cause that's about all she remembers from that movie anyway.

"I'd love something actually. What have you got?"

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Um, we got soda, water, punch, and some beer. Not much for booze. Morgan tends to spike the punch if there's stuff around."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Actually just plain punch sounds really good right about now. I was at this other party before I came here and I might have had a bit too much champagne."

Which Daddy Ten had totally warned her about but that was neither here nor there.

"Good thing Morgan hasn't arrived yet then." He grinned slightly but then asked with a bit of concern, "But, you're okay, right?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She smiles at his concern, touched really. "I'm fine. Just kind of in that zone where you've had just enough to have that happy floaty feeling. I like to keep it there is all."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Chuck smiled. "Ah, gotcha. I'll be right back with your punch then." He left K'tanya for a moment and got a glass of punch and returned with it. "Here you go."

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

K'tanya takes the glass from him then gives him a sisterly kiss on the cheek. "You are the best brother ever."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"I try," Chuck replied, a bit sheepishly.

"So how's everything going with you?"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She beams, because there is nothing she likes more than talking about herself. "It's going perfectly, as usual. In fact, I just don't think life could get any better than it is right now."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Chuck grinned. "That's great!"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"I know, right?" She looks at him for a moment, cocking her head slightly. "What about you? How are things going?"

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good. I finished my last few credits online so now I'm a Stanford graduate!"

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

"Really! That is so totally exciting! Congratualtions!" She totally hugs him too, cause that's what you do when you hear news like this!

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Thanks sis!" He hugs her back, smiling as he does so.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

She steps back and straightens his shirt a bit, then looks at him with an almost motherly expression. "Now then, you get back to mingling with your friends and I'll see about letting myself out. I just stopped by because I wouldn't miss this party for the world."
