smash_logs | HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR & OKTOBERFEST? BEER AND PUMPKINS GALORE!

Who: EVERYONE!
What: Journal Cafe Log.
Where: The Cafe!
When: October 29th.
Warnings: DRUKEN PEOPLE, DEAR READER.

Ahh Friday the 29th! It's not quite like Friday the 13th, but it's the perfect day to have a festival of spookiness and one celebrating German sausages and beer, right? Bob is ~~looking for an excuse to get wasted~~ going to celebrate with a traditional feast!

The destination? The quaint little place that just happened to be owned by Arceus and Kyle ~~also known as 'Monsier Kyle's Cupcakes'~~. The theater turned cafe, turned theater again for this night, where the stage stood proudly behind black and orange curtains. Candles floated in the air everywhere instead of the usual lights. The tables arranged with tasteful cloth sheets and huge chandeliers hanging from the ceiling (which you couldn't see thanks to a smoke machine (or at least it was hopefully a smoke machine) right above your head. Be careful not to bump your head!

Yet let's not forget that not only is it Halloween Spooktacular, it's also an homage to Oktoberfest! And while you'd think that the thousand of candles would make this place unbelievable hot, it's rather comfortable and cold. In fact that's not what's hot. It's the sausages! The thousands of them! Sausages as far as the eye can see, of all sizes, shapes and varieties from sour to spicy to bacon-filled. Cabbages, sauerkraut and sauces! Knödel (potato or bread dumplings), Kasspatzn (cheese noodles), Reiberdatschi (potato pancakes what do you mean I stole these from wikipedia) exploding from all sides of the kitchen. Oh and Bretzels ~~they're made with real Brets~~ bigger than your fist or even your HEAD! And the Beer. There is beer. EVERYWHERE. BEER. For those who are under the age of 19, we have non-alcohol beverages available (okay okay, it's juice). Grape, Pear, Strawberry, Cherry, you can drink them and pretend you're having an awesome time as the adults and some even almost taste like wine and beer! But really, don't you wish you were 19 like the rest? Hahahaha too bad.

Your waiters are dressed appropriately. But due to the nature of the game, sometime they come out to serve you dressed like this, sometimes, the building gets tired of that and they suddenly have a Halloween costume! You never know what might happen (...and neither do they, admittedly).

MAGICAL THINGS ARE AFOOT. For you see, the minute you enter the building, a fog envelopes you and suddenly! Poof! You're in a Halloween costume! What is it? It's MAGIC! Handy right? Forget having to spend hours for that perfect hairdo, at least tonight you'll be a perfect costume, without regards to budget. It is merely what your imagination. Besides, even someone like Bob is mischievous this time of the year.

There is music playing that changes between traditional German Songs and something a little more Halloweeeny.

Bob herself is dressed up appropriately. Well, you think? She seems to change costumes everytime she talks to someone else or she moves behind a well concealed pole or door. How does she do that? And Kyle seems to be dressed up as some sort of cook. A rather simple costume, it almost fits in the fact they are in a kitchen. What's odd is there are red peppers floating all around him..

As for Flurrie? She is prepared for the night in the only way she knows how. ~~Boobs~~.

Come on in! Be merry! Enjoy your new costume! Get Drunk! Eat Sausages! Tell Scary Stories! Celebrate! Have Pumpkin Pie!

[OOC - Feel free to start out threads with your dudes doing things if you'd like. Mingle with each other, sometimes there will be special threads like Flurrie's stories to tell after dark, or bobbing for apples, or sausage feasts. Take a seat, let the waiters come to you, Imagine your dudes in the most terrible of costumes!]

"I'm used to it," Ulki told him, scooting closer to the table. "Besides... after seeing what happened last time, I believe it's best that I... watch after things. Mmn... what are you supposed to be?" He was honestly curious.

"My best guess is an assassin," he told him, motioning toward the plastic blades strapped beneath his wrists. "What do you think? It magically appeared in place of my old clothes, right when I walked in! It happens to everyone, I take." His smile grew. "Haha... I had my fun snooping around the place, pretending to be dark and mysterious, but I think I've done enough of that. Tracking your next target can be tiring, you know!"

He could imagine it clearly: Rhys stalking around the dimly lit cafe, his posture imitating (or at least trying to) that of an assassin's. It seemed just like something he'd do. Ulki smiled. The shock of the change mattered less to him after he sat down. "I'm glad you like it."

And then there was a small figure dressed in mostly red (http://cdn-www.cracked.com/articleimages/dan/knockoffs/spiderman.jpg) lingering behind Ulki, fidgeting and unsure whether to approach the table or not.

At first, Rhys simply thought of the Spiderman costume as a passing cafe-goer, but it seemed to be hanging around for a while now... He decided to ask this person a question.

"Um... hello there," he said, looking Spinarak's way. "Is there something you need?"

Was this... who he thought it was? Ulki couldn't be sure, but judging by the way she walked...

"Spinarak?" he questioned, scrutinizing her.

Oh! He recognized! Spinarak gave a nod and walked over to give her favorite detention teacher a greeting hug. She stayed close to the laguz as she looked over at Rhys. She wasn't sure if she had talked to him before, but she knew of him as one of the staff members at school...she just couldn't figure out what staff position the person took. Hmmm.... While she thought, she just stared at Rhys from behind Ulki.

Jeff stopped by the table, wearing his lederhosen and not looking too happy about it. If he had his way, he would've pretended to work the whole night and just bothered Hyde. But Bob was constantly making rounds, so it was probably for the better if he at least acted like he was working.

"Hey," he held up a pad of paper. "You guys ready to order?"

To Spinarak, he had been smiling. Whoever this small person was, Ulki seemed familiar with them. It was so touching! He would have questions to ask, if you didn't mind.

But Jeff demanded his attention right now. Rhys turned to the blond waiter and kept up his peaceful smile. "I don't think I'm ready just yet, but if you'd like, I could take a peek at the menu..." He reached for the thick bundle of laminated papers.

To Spinarak's hug, he actually lifted a hand to grip onto her arm, acknowledging it without thinking. Beyond that, he kept his gaze on Rhys.

Ulki stayed silent, waiting for the priest to pick his choice.

Spinarak continued to latch onto Ulki for a while as she continued to stare at Rhys. After a good minute or so, she moved away from Ulki and itched over to take a look at the menu.

STARE.

Jeff let out an annoyed sigh. These people didn't even know what they wanted! So much for acting like he was working. Folding his arms, he waited for them to make up their minds. "Any day now."

"I'm sorry!" Rhys quickly apologized, decision even harder to make now that there was pressure from the waiter. "There's just so many choices, you see, and... it's a little difficult for me to pick just one. I think I'll just make it easy on you and settle with pumpkin pie."
