Monster Mash ((All GW and SJ kids welcome))

[Desmond Giuseppe]

Desmond really didn't know who was hosting this party but it was at the same house he went to earlier in the year so he knew two things; there was going to be a lot of people there, and there was going to be a lot of alcohol there. The latter was what Desmond was going for. That and the chance to just party and unwind with his best friends! He was especially excited because of their costume selection; the marauders for Harry Potter! He was James, Vinnie was Sirius and Garrett was Lupin! Also Audrey was Lily and Paul was a young Snape, but Desmond was more excited about the trio. ((ok, I dunno if Brooke and Tad are a part of 'the group', but I'm assuming Desmond would have at least said something to them about going together. If not, disregard this next sentence)). He felt a little bad because he completely forgot to Tell Brooke and Tad about the theme, but their costumes ended up being awesome anyway.

Desmond led the way in the party dressed as James Potter. He made his hair extra messy, wore a pair of glasses and his self made Gryffindor uniform and he was carrying around a golden snitch in a very smug manner. He was trying his best to look very hetero by sloping up the uniform a bit and carrying himself in manner that was very unlike himself. And when I say unlike himself I mean not gay.

The party was already pretty full and everyone was in costume. One guy who already appeared to be pretty smashed, was dress up as a banana with maracas. Almost all the girls were slutty versions of conventional Halloween costumes; there was a slutty witch, a slutty cat, a slutty vampire, a slutty Dorthy from the wizard of Oz, and even a slutty Hermione which amused Desmond to no end. Desmond turned to his friends behind him.

"So. . . who wants to help me find the drinks?" he asked in an off hand voice.

[Garrett Speelers]

Garrett walked in with Faye ((Unless you wanted them to meet up inside?)). They'd dressed in a themed way: him as Lupin and her as Tonks.

He'd made his hair extra messy, thanks to some manipulator, and he'd added a grey streak or two to it to make the look more convincing. He'd used some stage makeup to make the slashed scar on his face look believable, and wore black robe, which he'd distressed and added patches to. He wore a white button down shirt and a gold and red striped tie he'd bought with his store's discount. He had also borrowed a pair of Patrick's black pants and almost completed the ensemble with a pair of black combat boots. The finishing touch, a maple (or whatever Lupin's wand is) tucked in an inside pocket in the cloak.

Garrett might not have been a huge Harry Potter fanatic, but when he went out for Halloween he went all out on the costume.

"So. . . who wants to help me find the drinks?" he heard Desmond ask.

"I think I can help there," he said.

It struck him as he gave a little wave to Faye to go get some drinks that he didn't know if Faye even drank, or if she'd have a problem with his drinking. He'd been drinking since a little before he was 16, Pat would always sneak him some beers when they went out or invite him over to his place for some drinks. Well he'd grab an extra drink for her and if she didn't want it. . .well he supposed he could always drink it.

[Viola Hastings]

Viola came into the party feeling very pleased with her costume. She had on a pale yellow lacy dress with a black sash round the middle. It had triangular sleeves, and she had a pair of white satin gloves that covered three quarters of her arms. They matched the white in the pearl necklace she wore round her neck. Her hair had been lightened slightly, which she hoped wouldn't last too long, and curled. Her skin she had covered with a white body makeup to make it look paler, her eyes where outlined in charcoal black liner to match her sash, and her lips were a deep red. She had bought a pair of clip on fangs, which were concealed for the time being behind her lips.

She walked in beside her date, and smiled over at him.

"You sure you don't mind hanging around with a bunch of high schoolers tonight?" she asked.

[jd]

JD walked in feeling oh so confident about his costume for the evening. He was . .. Dr. Acula. He had on a pair of blue scrubs with a stethoscope wrapped around his neck. Over top of that he wore a long black robe/ trench coat and had a pair of black shoes on. He too had made his skin paler and donned a pair of clip on fangs.

He was only coming tonight because Viola had asked him too. He didn't want to be the creepy older guy who came to high school parties, but he like Viola and he didn't mind meeting some of her friends.

"It's fine," he assured her. "I mean . . .I get to be that creepy old guy now. . .damn it, I should have made that my costume."

She chuckled at him and he flashed her a fanged smile.

[Ravi Malone]

Seeing as Ravi no longer had friends he had no one to go to the party with. He told his mothers that he was meeting at friend's house to go trick or treating, but instead he went to the party alone. He knew if he just sat at home his mothers would worry, them make him go trick or treating with them and his younger siblings. Ravi decided he'd rather go to the party alone.

Although Toby and Kyan hadn't directly told him that they hate him and don't want to be his friends anymore, Ravi felt as thought he could assume as much. He hadn't made any attempt to talk to Kyan at school or even be around him for fear of being told as much. So, tonight he decided he was just going to sit in a corner and drink away his sorrows.

He came to the party dress as Ash Ketchem from Pokemon. He was only into old school pokemon, none of this new shit, so Ravi was dressed as old school Ash, complete with a poke-ball and his stuffed Pikachew. He would have felt like a loser, i it weren't for the number of other people dress as other various characters such as Harry Potter and the guy from yu-gi-o ((sp?)). Ravi really didn't pay much attention to the strange looks he was getting, he didn't even notice the his father's favorite intern had showed up with Viola. He just went straight to the keg, pured himself some beer and sat himself in a corner looking utterly depressed.

[dylan]

Dylan came into the party with his silver wig in place, and a smile on his face. He had on a black sleeveless zip up vest, a yellow and white opened vest over top of that, a pair of blue pants with enormous pockets, a white arm warmer on just his right arm, and a pair of white sneakers. He didn't have the keyblade with him, but that was due to his lack of time. He hadn't been able to finish painting it.

He'd chosen Riku from Kingdom Hearts 2 the video game because secretly, he was a bit of a game addict. He walked over to the keg, and got a plastic cup filled with Lionshead.

[Faye Prewett]

Faye arrived in their large group to the party. She was glad that she had agreed to come with Garrett. She wasn't really good friends with any of the people they were coming with, but she wanted to be. She felt a little ashamed that she had never really spent the time to get to know Garrett's friends before.

Everyone's costumes looked amazing, and she was glad that she had put the time and effort into hers that she did. At first she thought that she might be going a little overboard in trying to be exactly like the descriptions in both the book and the movie.

She waved back to Garrett as he went to find the drinks, and smiled around at the group. She hoped that they didn't mind her being there, as she was sure Garrett had been the one to invite her...

[vinnie]

Vinnie walked in just after Faye and Garrett with Zanna. He tried not to let the sight of them to bother him; he was with Zanna, after all. The party was so crowded he had a feeling not paying attention to them would be relatively easy. Now that he thought of it he really didn't know whether or not Zanna drank. Vinnie drank, but if Zanna didn't want to he wouldn't either; he didn't want to be rude and get smashed while she was his sober date.

Going alone with the Harry Potter theme, Vinnie went as Sirius Black. He also went with the trend set by Desmond by going as a later Hogwarts version of Sirius Black, the young Marauders if you will. He just wore a button down shirt, Gryffindor tie, slacks, and nice shoes. His sister had also straighted his hair a bit for him. Other that that, Desmond had already told him that he was the most handsome of the bunch, not that Desmond or Garrett was ugly, he just had the typical 'handsome guy' look.

When Desmond asked about drinks Vinnie turned to Zanna with a questioning look.

[Garrett Speelers]

Garrett waved as he saw Vinnie, feeling odd and yet, strangely comforted now that the trio of marauders was complete. . .no one like Wormtail anyway. He looked around for the direction of the kitchen. The last time her was here, he didn't end up remembering where most of the things were.

"To the keg?" he said, with a grin to Desmond.

[Desmond Giuseppe]

"Certainly!" he said to Garrett. He looked at Vinnie to see if he was going to join them, but Vinnie seemed to be getting permission from his woman. The sight of this made Desmond very happy to be gay, even if he as playing a straight boy tonight. He was actually in a particularly good mood; he'd just gotten back together with Josh and their relationship seemed like it was going to go well this time. He hadn't actually told anyone this yet seeing as he'd already told everyone that Josh was the reason he tried to kill himself and that Josh had AIDS so he really didn't see his friends being all that supportive.

Desmond made his way through the maze of drunken costumed teenagers to the keg that was residing in the kitchen. Of course Desmond would have much rather preferred a Smirnoff Ice or a Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade, but he felt the need to be in character so beer was just going to have to do it tonight. As Desmond filled himself a plastic cup with beer he star longingly at the cooler where his favorite drinks are and couldn't help but notice that only woman and queers were taking drinks from it. Desmond sighed just before taking a sip of his manly beer and held back an grimace at its awful taste.

"So, Moony, how are things with Faye-Faye?" he asked Garrett in a bit of an under tone. He'd been curious as to how the two had been getting along. It had been a few weeks now since they'd first gotten together and despite the information about Vinnie things seem to be going well between the two. Although, Desmond had a hunch that Faye didn't know how Vinnie felt and Desmond wondered if it would make any difference.

[audrey]

Audrey followed Desmond into the house dress as Lily Evans. He had also gone along with the old 'young Marauders theme' and dress in uniform. She had even dyed her hair red for the occasion which wasn't much of a stretch because it was her natural hair color. She'd gotten the hopes up of her one father who had thought she'd 'finally come to her senses'. He was extremely disappointed when she explained it was for a costume and her hair would be pink again with in a few days.

It seemed like she wasn't the only one who dies her hair for the occasion; Faye was also sporting quite a different hair color that usual; purple. Audrey had to admit she didn't expect someone like Faye to have the balls to do such a thing.

"Wow, Faye. . . you actually dyed your hair." said Audrey flatly, looking at Faye's hair with mild interest. She wanted to also say something along the lies of purple not being her color, but she held back because Faye was with Garrett and Lord knows Garrett has enough problems with out Audrey making them worse for him.

[Garrett Speelers]

Garrett poured himself a frothy cup and took a sip, after having followed Desmond away from the others. He looked over at Desmond before answering.

"They're pretty good," he answered casually, but smiled. "Actually they're better than good. I dunno, it's weird. .. nothing like this has ever happened to me before. . .I'm afraid I'm gonna fuck it up somehow."

He let out a s light chuckle after his words to show he was a least half joking.

[zanna]

Zanna looked around the group, glad that Faye, one of the other girls, was dressed as Tonks. The two of them were the only two who weren't dressed as teenage marauder-era students, so it helped her to not feel quite so out of place in her Hermione costume. She saw the slutty Hermione girl and just shook her head a little, glad that she hadn't gone to that end of the costume spectrum. She wore the uniform skirt and knee-high socks, just like in the books, and the vest, white button-down shirt, and tie. Of course, her skirt was a little shorter than uniform, and she didn't have flat shoes so she had to wear heels, but other than that she thought it was a pretty nice job on her part. The only reason she'd chosen Hermione was because their hair matched and she didn't have time to find a decent wig.

As the mentioning of drinks occurred, she caught the look that Vinnie threw at her. She knew that there would be drinking, but she wasn't really a big drinker herself. She had beer at a party once, and never touched the stuff again. Just the same, it looked like everyone else in this particular group was going to be drinking, and she didn't want to be the only one not.

"Think they'll have Mike's?" she asked Vinnie, playing it off as if this was her usual. Her mother had some at home, and she'd stolen a sip or two before. It was a wussy drink, she knew, but it was better than nothing she supposed.

[Desmond Giuseppe]

Desmond smiled at Garrett's answer. Some times that boy was just too damn adorable for his own good. "I wouldn't worry about you fucking it up." said Desmond sincerely, "but I'd watch out for some of the more unfavorable people around you like your father and your cousin." Desmond ha a feeling the moment Blane saw something good happened to Garrett he'd want to find a way to fuck it up. Desmond was most certain going to try his best to stop that from happening. He saw Faye as a really good thing for Garrett; the kid had been much happier lately despite all the shit going on with the ACS.

"Besides, how could she not absolutely adore you?" said Desmond with a grin, "You're bloody adorable!" he ruffled Garrett's hair in a brotherly way. He held back from going into one of his 'if you were gay' rants because he knew that stuff made Garrett uncomfortable, and Desmond was supposed to be in character tonight.

"But seriously," said Desmond, taking another sip of his beer, "I really like Faye. I hope thinks work out for you two."

[vinnie]

"I'm sure they will, otherwise Desmond wouldn't have brought us here." said Vinnie with a smile. He had to admit he was a bit glad when Zanna said in so man words that she was willing to drink. It took quite a few Mike's to get someone drunk, even a thin girl, so Vinnie was still going to have to watch his alcohol intake and Zanna's as well just in case. It was probably better that he remain a bit sober just in case one of the boys there felt the need to be disrespectful to Zanna; Vinnie was alway paranoid about stuff like that.

Vinnie couldn't help but notice the great contrast between Zanna and the Hermione whore who was drunk in a corner. He loved that Zanna had chosen to go the class route; Vinnie hated whores. He just hated when girls felt the need to have their boobs hanging out to get attention. Vinnie would pick a conservative girl over a whore any day.

"I think Garrett and Desmond went to the kitchen to get drinks. . " said Vinnie, looking around to see where Desmond and Garrett went, "Shall we?"

[zanna]

"Sure," Zanna said, following Vinnie's lead. She didn't really know where she was going in this foreign house, but she was a little relieved that Vinnie had asked her to come to the kitchen to find the drinks with her. Not that she didn't want to be social, but she still felt a little out of place. It didn't help that the only person she knew was Vinnie.

Making their way to the kitchen, she felt a swell of pride at the disdainful look she saw him give the slutty Hermione girl in the corner. She was now very glad that she hadn't done something stupid like that and had tried to be as true to the books and the movies as she could.

"Everyone's costumes are so great," she said by way of making small talk.

Paul had been mumbleing to himself ever since he'd gotten into his full Snape costume. He wanted to go as Ron, but someone wouldn't let him because someone's little girl friend was going to go as Hermione. So here Paulie was dress as a Marauders era Severus Snape. The good thing about this costume at least was the he didn't have to dye his hair or wear a wig. His hair was just the right length and color for Snape. Unfortunately Paul had to wear Slytherin colors and he was a hard core Gryffindor. Just feeling the silver and green on him made Paul want to vomit.

Paul enter behind Vinnie and Zanna. It wasn't until then that he realized he was the only one with out a 'date'. In his defense he'd only been back in the country for about a week so he really didn't have much time to find a lady. Maybe he'd find someone at the party before he got too drunk and started making out with boys which he was known to do when he was drunk. Paul just hoped this place had enough alcohol to get him that drunk; being an half Irish and having been drinking since he was ten, Paul, despite his slim build and lack of body fat, had manage to build up a strong tolerance for alcohol. He would be going right for the hard liquor.

"Mikes?" said Paul with a giggle. "Aww, that's so cute!" he wasn't mocking Zanna, he genuinely thought it was cute that a chick was going to get a cute little chick drink, "I think I'll be going right for the Jack me self."

[Dorian Malis]

Everybody had gotten the invitation to the par-tah. It had taken some convincing on her mother's part to get Dorian to go.

"You'll have fun, Dorian. You'll make friends." Dorian had somewhat moodily broke eye contact with her mother at this point. She didn't need any friends. She was perfectly happy by herself after all. People just tended to look at her strangely and ask whether she was a girl or a guy anyway. She had herself to talk to, and the little get-together that was happening at their own large house was quite enough for Dorian, but her mother insisted. "Only half an hour. That's all." She justified with Dorian as she dropped her off in front of the house. "Call me when you want to come home."

Dorian refused to speak, she gave a shaky nod and inwardly cringed. She didn't want to be here at this loud and drunken house. Her mother gave her an encouraging smile and waited for her to join the mess of people before she would drive off.

She couldn't help but feel somewhat at home among the strangely dressed individuals, because they were wearing clothes kind of like her everyday clothes. They were wearing prim looking long jackets with different colors stitched like green and silver or gold and red stitched to the seams. They had crests pinned to their jackets and neat looking uniform-like outfits to match them. She looked down at her costume, which consisted of black glasses (for Halloween, she justified) with her usual outfit of a prim, thigh length jacket in black and neat black capri pants with white stockings and shiny buckled black shoes. She ran her hands nervously through her short black hair, thinking she probably looked sort of gothic as she pinned a white frilly handkerchief around her neck with a pin of red and gold.

She sort of matched those other kids, she observed before nearing the group. "Good evening." She smiled, hoping it didn't look too forced.

[Garrett Speelers]

Garrett batted Desmond's hand away jokingly, fixing his hair. There was a small smile on his face, though, in response to his words.

"Yeah, I"m kind of hoping that too," he replied, filling another cup. He grabbed a small bottle of grape mike's hard lemonade for good measure. "Well, guess I better go bring the drink back to Faye. . before Audrey can do any damage."

He walked back out into the thick of things and found Faye. He slipped his arm around her with the mike's in it, holding onto the two cups with his other hand.

"Do you drink?" he asked her. "I brought some in case."

[Faye Prewett]

Faye was glad that Audrey seemed to approve of her hair. She hadn't said anything that was outright positive about her costume, but at the same time she hadn't said anything negative, and that had to count for something, right?

"Yeah, I did," she replied, nodding. "It's only temporary... it should fade after tonight, but it won't wash out completely for about a week or so," she explained, smiling. It was just then that Garrett came back, with two cups in his hand in case she drank. She realized that there was a lot that they didn't really know about each other, but that didn't bother her.

"Yeah, on occasion," she said, taking one of the offered cups. She wasn't one to drink just to get drunk, nor did she go out and drink every weekend, but when she went out with friends she never turned down a free drink or two. She supposed that made her a social drinker, in a way, though she had only recently started drinking.

"Thanks."

[zanna]

Zanna laughed a little at Paul's comment, not taking any offense by it.

"Yeah, well, I'm not a big drinker. With how often I have competitions, it'd really do a number on me, mentally and physically. I could never compete if I was a drinker, but once and a while won't kill me," she added, to make sure they knew she wasn't about to be the lame-duck of the group and not have any fun. She wanted to fit in as much as possible.

"I love your Snape costume," she added to Paul. "He was always one of my favorite characters."

[Tadhg Kelly]

Tadhg Kelly came into the party looking shockingly unTad-like. He wore a visor off to the side of his head and flipped upside down. His hair was slicked up in the front. He also sported a pale blue polo shirt with the collar popped, a pair of bootcut light jeans with the bleach folds, and a pair of birckenstocks. Over the polo he wore a white skee jacket with grey stripe around the chest. He completed the ensemble with a silver chain necklace and a thick banded silver watch.

He knew he looked ridiculous, but that was the point. . . he and Brooke had decided to switch status for the night. She was a cheerleader and relatively popular. . .so he had come as a Bro. Whereas he was not. . .and she was coming as an rocker-ish chick: or whatever click he fell under.

He spotted some of the other and could feel a laugh threatening to burst forth from him, but held it back. He'd told them what he was thinking of being, but no one had seen his costume yet.

[brooke]

Brooke had gone all out when it game to her costume. She had gone for a slightly more punk-rock look than Tadhg was, but she thought that the effect went over rather nicely. Her hair was messed up and tousled with gel, and she had even gone as far as to dye the tips pink to match the shirt she was wearing, which had a skull on it. She had many pins on a vintage dark brown skirt, which she wore over a tattered pair of jeans. Converse were obviously present, as were several black bracelets and studded things.

She and Tadhg were supposed to be representing the other's normal clique, but she figured a band t-shirt and baggy jeans didn't qualify as a costume; she had wanted to put a little more effort into it, and so she'd taken some liberties. She was sure that it would be fine by Tadhg.

Brooke entered the party behind Tadhg, curious to see if any of the football players or cheerleaders would also be there. Oh, what fun that would be.

[audrey]

Audrey was politely listening to Faye's explanation of her hair dye (quite frankly, Audrey could care less) when Tad walked in dressed like a douche bag. "Holy shit balls Jesus oh mighty in heaven." said Audrey in awe, "You look like an absolute douche bag Tad. . . .and I kind of Love it. It almost makes me wish I can dress as a bitch. . . oh wait, I do that every other day." Audrey smirked at her own little joke and didn't care whether or not anyone else did.

Audrey then looked at Brooke's costume and shook her head in disappointment. "Brooooooke," he whined, "Faye already came as Tonks! Didn't you get the memo? Desmond's been going on and on about us coming as Harry Potter characters for two weeks now."

[Desmond Giuseppe]

Desmond followed Garrett back to the others, passing Vinnie, Zanna, and Paul as they made their way into the kitchen. When he saw the sight of Tad in his costume he almost spit out his mouth full of beer. Some how he managed to swallow, put down his beer, then burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"You look like a jack ass!" exclaimed Desmond as he laid on his back laughing. "Wait a minute," he said, sitting up suddenly, "Are you a. . . . a Bro? Heh. . . Bro rape. Heh." Desmond was familiar with the video. "Are you a bro raper or just a bro?"
