Who - All
Where - The Great Hall
When - October 31st, Monday evening
Incomplete

The Great Hall had been transformed.

The walls of the Hall had all been covered in silvery spider webs, with hundreds of candles floating above their heads. The House tables had vanished; instead, there were about a hundred smaller, jack o'lantern lit ones (each with their own particularly garish expression carved out), each seating about a dozen people.

The tables were groaning under the weight of a mountain of Hallowe'en themed food and flagons of butterbeer. There was no assigned seeting, so the masked students could sit wherever they wished, allowing for the mixing of the Houses.

A large portion of the Hall had been left empty for dancing, and a stage had been set up down the opposite end to the teacher's table. It was empty for now, but a glittering sign proclaimed that the Hobgoblins would be performing later in the evening. For now, a rather random selection of popular music was playing over their heads, with a mixture of muggle and magical music groups rather proudly selected by Professor Egg.

Many costumed students were already there. Some were dancing, some were sitting at tables nibbling at the food or drinking butterbeer. All appeared to be having a good time.

Professor Dumbledore was dressed as Superman with the blue tights and red underwear over the top. He didn't have a mask on and he was greeting students enthusiastically as they entered the hall.

Other professors were milling around although some weren't quite as obvious as Professor Dumbledore.

The girl dressed as a geisha sighed and looked around. She had managed to find a costume she really liked, but she was constantly afraid she would rip it. It was too nice, really, and made her wish she had found something simple. She didn't want to mess up something so beautiful.

Carefully, the geisha took a sip of butterbeer and looked around from her lonely place at one end of a table.

Logan was not convinced that coming to the party had been a very good idea. No one understood his costume, even when he showed them the glowing red mark on his palm. He would have had a better time back in the dorm, but it was too early to leave yet. Besides, all of his friends were here. Probably. So hard to tell.

Dejected, he sat down with a fluorescent orange cupcake at the unoccupied end of a nearby table, empty except for a girl in a silk bathrobe.

The angel stepped into the room and peered out from behind her gold mask. She wondered where her friends are and felt quite uncharacteristically insecure without them around her. She moved further into the room, searching for a familiar build.

She was so busy searching the crowd that she didn't notice until it was too late that she was going to bump into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said quickly, reaching out to steady the other person.

Anubis had been standing so still that he must have appeared to be a statue. Covered in Egyptian armor, Anubis' costume was complete with a shimmering body paint. When he stood still, he did appear to be a statue.

When the angel girl bumped into him, he barely stumbled back. He stood still and glared at her from behind his elaborate mask as if he really was the God Anubis.

Wonder Woman gave a last self-conscious tug at her costume as she approached the doors. The costume was a good idea, and unique too, but she felt a twinge of doubt as she walked into the Great Hall. She was thankful she didn't usually have quite such long hair as she did to look like Wonder Woman.

She stepped farther in, and scanned the room, looking at the wide variety of costumes.

Debonair approached Wonder Woman, intruiged by the costume selection. Slipping his hands into his pockets, he smiled behind his mask and nodded curtly.

"Nice costume," he said lightly.

A young woman in a gorgeous, flowing dress of scarlet, a goblet of butterbeer in her hand, stood beside one of the great tables of food. In the light of the jack-o-lanterns grinning nearby, a jeweled necklace glittered around her neck

She tossed back a long, lovely cascade of curled black hair, wondering how she might identify students of her own house among the costumed crowd as she peered around from a fitted black mask.

[info]prince_gi

October 28 2005, 03:06:50 UTC 6 years ago

The prince eyed the scarlet woman with great interest. Now there was a lady worthy of a prince! He had surveyed the crowd for a while now and had found the selection of ladies to be quite lacking in a certain class.

"My dear lady," he said in a most regal tone as he reached for her hand. He bowed down to bestow a kiss to the back of her hand. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

The woman in the green dress checked her appearance one last time in the mirror. She tilted her head from side to side, admiring how her mask clung to the contours of her face. She smoothed her skirts with her hands, then drew her wand for the final touch. A tap of her wand, and the snakes in her hair came to life, curling around her ears and shoulders, flicking their tongues out to taste the air. The effect was intimidating, yet intriguing. Precisely what she wanted.

Her preparations complete, the woman made her entrance into the Great Hall, fashionably late as she had planned. Basking in the attention she drew, she scanned the room with her eyes, looking for someone worthy of her company.

Bored of standing statue-still for quite some time, Anubis approached the suspicious looking woman with live snakes in her hair. This could be fun he thought. "Anubis demands a sacrifice," he barked from behind her.

A werewolf entered the Great Hall, looking around and scowling, although he was hidden behind a mask, so no one could tell.

This was going to be boring. Maybe his costume would help to make it somewhat interesting.

[info]priestess_gi

October 28 2005, 02:57:12 UTC 6 years ago

The Priestess danced into the Great Hall. She felt rebelious, enjoying the feel of cool air against her skin. Spotting the werewolf prowling about the Hall, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in amusement. She danced over to him, and then around him. "Someone looks grumpy this Hallowe'en!" she taunted.

Zorro wandered into the hall a little late and reached up to tug his mask down a little. He had been rather put out to realise that his mask didn't disguise him quite as much as he would like. He surveyed the scene but didn't see anyone that seemed to be anyone he knew. He rolled his eyes at the werewolf costume. It was so unoriginal.

[info]phantom_gi

October 29 2005, 22:16:54 UTC 6 years ago

The phantom wandered in even later, gazing around with mild interest. So many costumes... He spotted what appeared to be some kind of God wandering around with a Medusa over his shoudler, and wondered if someone had already got to the punch.

The Vampire entered a little later in the evening, as if a reluctance (or perhaps, apathy) had kept him from coming on-time. His posture was like royalty, the long, elegant buttons of his jacket giving him an appeal of stature and power.

His eyes were well hidden behind a sleek, black mask; above it, a wild tousle of jet black hair. He stood a little removed from the rest, leaning against a pillar, watching the costumed students as if he were searching for someone.

[info]angelic_gi

October 29 2005, 23:31:58 UTC 6 years ago

The Angel had been having a wonderful evening, but she still hadn't been able to find the one person she really wanted to find. Spotting the man dressed all in black, she smiled, certain that this was the one she sought.

"Took you long enough," she said in a lightly playful tone as she sauntered up to him.

The Queen had finally arrived... late. She didn't see a problem with this -- after all she was the Queen. Casually stepping through the Great Hall's doors, she glanced around at the festivities, watching from behind her elegantly decordated gold sparkled mask as people danced and mingled with others.

For a Queen, she looked rather dignified in her long ivory coloured silk gown that trailed behind her just so. The golden crown made the dress with it's shining jewels.

[info]devil_gi

October 30 2005, 02:26:41 UTC 6 years ago

The Devil stepped up beside the Queen and followed her gaze toward the dance floor.

"Would you look at that?" he said with obvious disgust as he gestured toward the two blokes dancing together. "Dumbledore should do something. That's bloody disgusting, is what that is."

The fairy fluttered in. At least she tried fluttering. It worked, somewhat, but since she was late she was sure everyone would be looking at her. She moved as nonchalantly as possible past the dance floor, over to the food tables, and scanned the room.

[info]logan_gi

October 30 2005, 02:13:46 UTC 6 years ago

Logan was getting himself a butterbeer when the fairy came over to the tables. She looked a bit lost, the way she was looking around the room. Buoyed by his conversation earlier in the evening with the girl who liked Monty Python, he decided to be daring.

Screwing up all his courage, he turned to her. "Hi!" he squeaked.

The young, masked SS Soldier walked proudly into the midst of the Halloween Ball. His uniform, entirely black, was crisp and neately pressed, all appropriate badges and pins adorning and completing the look. A blood-red band proudly sat on his left upper arm.

He helped himself to a Butterbeer, glancing around to see if any of his housemates were close by. He clearly did not care that the unform he wore represented years of torturous imprisonment and prejudice.

[info]fairy_gi

The fairy wandered over to the Soldier. "You're a Naht Zee, right? One of those evil Muggles from the 1940s?" Curious rather than immediately repelled, she asked. "Why did you choose such an evil character"?

Medusa reentered the Great Hall after spending an hour or so in the courtyard. She had managed to locate all of her clothing and had gone to the washroom to put her costume back in place. She didn't really want to be at the ball, but she had made a promise, and keeping promises to friends seemed particularly important just then. She would run her errand, then leave.

She walked over to the refreshment table and looked at the pastries, trying to decide if any of them were filled with meat and potatoes.

A woman with snakes passed him by and the SS Solider smiled coldly.

"Nice snakes," he called out to her.
