//take a chance and roll the dice

[velvetyhelpers]

Who: The various NPCs of Prospero and you!
When Evening of the 31st--6PM to 11PM
Where: The function hall, City Hall's third floor.
What: PARTY TIME.

[The function hall was no spectacularly grand thing, but it was passable--all in all it was what one might expect from a party held by city officials. Decorations, food, drinks, dancing, the whole nine yards. A few individuals were there early--the Katsaros sisters having assisted in setting up, Detective Gabriel and Officer Harrison slacking off and working security respectively.]

[It was a lighthearted and pleasant atmosphere in general, the only truly unusual thing being the appearance of Prospero's until-then mostly faceless mayor, who one might have been forgiven for doubting even existed until then.]

[ooc: Please wait until all the subthreads have been set up; when this is crossed out have at it. GO FORTH.]

COSTUME CONTEST;

[velvetyhelpers]

[And the winners are...]

[First place: Gaignun!]

[Second place: Saori!]

[Third place: Mila!]

[Talk amongst yourself, congratulate the winners, and possibly get congratulated by the mayor that organized this all to begin with.]

[needsteaplz]

[Saori didn't expect to get second place but she's rather happy. She did work hard on her costume. And yes she even dyed her hair for it.]

Oh wow that's quite a surprise!

[cosmicsoul]

Good on you, Saori! You deserve it.

[needsteaplz]

Oh, thank you! You know, I always wanted to try this and I'm glad it worked out.

[cosmicsoul]

I just got mine from the secondhand store. Reuse and reuse, y'know?

[needsteaplz]

That's a great idea actually. I don't plan to really throw this away. I'm use I could way to reuse this.

[namedforcat]

I'm not surprised. You look really good.

[needsteaplz]

Aww thank you! Congratulations to you too!

[namedforcat]

Thank you. [He's rather pleased with himself and is preening a little at her praise]

What's your costume from?

[needsteaplz]

Oh this? It's from a series of vocal synthesizing programs used to compose songs. The company created these characters for their voice banks and this is one of them.

Funny thing is back in my world we had something similar. Composers would post their works online and people sometimes do covers for them.

[Not that she would know from experience. /cough]

[tvknpc]

Congratulations. I like your attention to detail.

[needsteaplz]

Thank you, Mayor. I do appreciate it. You look great in your costume too.

[tvknpc]

Oh, thank you. I'm pretty skilled with a needle and thread, but this is nothing too special.

[needsteaplz]

Oh wow, you made your costume herself? That's very impressive.

Re: COSTUME CONTEST;

*Mila fistpumps in the huge tank costume she's constructed over her wheelchair. (She figured she'd bring it just in case, and, well...)*

Score!

[namedforcat]

Hey, congratulations Mila. [Honestly he thinks her tank was a little more impressive then his own costume however.]

[papermache]

Same here, Suit. One thing's kinda off, though.

[namedforcat]

What's that? [He doesn't mind being called suit. He's been called worse.]

[tvknpc]

It's a creative approach, I quite like it.

[papermache]

Thanks. Figured I'd go all-out.

[tvknpc]

It definitely shows.

COSTUME CONTEST;

[namedforcat]

[Captain Kirk wins all.]

Well I didn't expect this at all. [But he is rather pleased]

[tvknpc]

[Polite slow clap goes here.]

Well done.

[namedforcat]

Thank you. Your costume is quite lovely. Where did you get it?

[tvknpc]

Oh, it's nothing special. I made it earlier this month.
