on this the night all hallows' eve

who: the living and the damned
when: October 31st, 8PM to 11:59 PM
where: around the main pool on deck 6
what: HALLOWEEN PARTY, 1/2
warnings: TBA

[as you exit the elevator and walk towards the pool deck on Halloween night, you follow a sort of labyrinth of panels and decorations. about halfway through the maze, a scythe swings into your path, and a tall animatronic crackles to life:]

It is harvest time. I can smell it in the air. And I sense your soul is ripe for harvesting as well. When your time comes, my scythe will cleave your soul right off the vine like a ripened pumpkin. Time for carving!

[welcome to Halloween aboard the Serena Eterna.

the Infinite Spirit Halloween has been put to good use by a crack team of Mizuki and Ebalon, and half of it seems to now be located around the deck on the main pool. the pool has been dyed a swamp-like green; fake plastic vines and (hopefully) fake plastic limbs float in the waters. there are fog machines studded throughout that are putting out a frankly dangerous amount of fog, and it can be pretty difficult to tell if your next step is onto the floor or directly into the pool.

there is food available on a long table on the side, but it’s entirely the usual fare found in the buffet, though there are also two punch bowls: one is a delicious fruit punch, and the other is about 99% vodka and then a single orange. the bar is also open, with extra liquor bottles scavenged from the other bars on the ship. Halloween music plays from unseen speakers.

Friday is here, and dressed in costume, but never seems to stop fussing and rushing around long enough to actually have a conversation with. but, hey! Jenny is here! hooray!

have fun. you have ‘til midnight.]

[SIIIIIIIIGHS]

Each particle being put back exactly where it came from is why this happens. You just return to your place. No more, no less.

( this is just frustration in a place clarke had initially peered in search of hope. )

That's such bullshit. Every bit we touched has our sweat and DNA on it now, we're part of those particles. It shouldn't be this hard.

( seven seconds in which clarke stares daggers at the side dish in question, seriously debating smacking it into oblivion and splattering both of them with remnants. but ultimately, a deep breath. okay, fine, take this as fact until it could maybe be disproven by someone else. )

He's never going to just drop us off somewhere to exist peacefully, is he?

[shrugs] Now, that sounds like complete bullshit.

( grumble grumble, still staring down the mashed potatoes like she could burn them to bits right now and examine chemical changes. ) That's what I said, but. That's the line we're being fed right now.

...I don't know what to do here anymore.
stormpirate: (I know it's hard)

... I'm sorry I don't have answers for you, mija. But, I don't even have answers for myself.

( resolve cracking...

and cracking...

and cracking...

but still not completely broken through the middle. give clarke a second, let her wipe potato remnants off on the skirt of her dress and stand up again. )


That's okay. I appreciate you just talking it through with me. ( futile anger can look graceful sometimes, right? no, nope, it's still 110% apparent in the lines on her face. ) Answers are fickle. Let's not wait a month between chats next time, and maybe we'll find them eventually.
stormpirate: (I could miss)

[a toothy grin] If anyone here can manage it, it's gonna be you.

( a wince in return. please stop saying that, she hasn't figured out shit and the war between false confidence and crushing responsibility heaped on by others isn't looking so good... )

...stay safe, Jenny. This party feels more like a trap than the last one.

( and with that, she's leaving to go sulk in a corner some more.

if one good thing came of this day tho, clarke's self esteem will be forever boosted knowing pirate jenny looked at her costume and called it sexy. )
