* broken / dreams !

bo had always been a fan of halloween, she had always loved the idea of dressing up, and the free candy also helped. she knew she was getting a little old for dress up, but it was nice to be able to spend time with her family without others judging her for doing so. 

she was definitely having the time of her life for sure, but good things can only stay good for so long it seems. her biggest fear had always been turning back into the  anthropomorphic toy she grew up as all her life until she moved to los santos, a sacrifice she had to make in order to become fully human that she still doesn’t like speaking about to this day. she felt herself shrink down to the size she once was and it felt like something straight out of a nightmare, still dressed to the nines in her hippie costume, she looked like a more sophisticated version of her old model. “what the actual fuck?” she tries to get herself to wake up from this horrid dream by pinching herself. opening her eyes, she looks around her surroundings and is still the toy she used to be. she’s running out of options, which in turn causes the blonde to the prizes table by the ring toss booth, something she was all too familiar with, and tries capturing the attention of the first passerby she sees.

“help, help, someone help me please!” she calls out to the first person she sees, waving her hands up in the air, but she is unable to capture the other’s attention. that’s when she grabs a megaphone from the man running the booth and shouts into it. “i’m down here, please help me, i don’t know what’s happening.”

OPEN TO: everyone LOCATION: VIP Rooftop Lounge WHEN: late evening

“Ah, halloween - what a stupendously stupid holiday,” Hades muttered out loud as he took a sip of the dry martini in his right hand while simultaneously glancing at his watch on the left. He sat back in the leather arm chair positioned in the VIP section of a rooftop lounge. “Dia los Muertos is better - at least it involves celebrating the dead. Still no mention of the God of the Underworld, which is aggravating. But I can respect it 5% more than the premise of trying to scare off what goes bump in the night with a silly costume and gorging yourself on candy.”

“I’m guessing you’re not a fan?” Bo asked the other, a small chuckle escaping the blonde’s lips as a result. She had been a fan of every holiday, but Halloween had always been her favorite, simply due to the fact that she got to dress up. “I’m pretty sure only Mexicans celebrate Dia de los muertos? I’m not sure it’s culturally appropriate for non-Mexicans to celebrate it, but maybe that’s just me.” She admitted. “Now, are you just going to sit here or are you going to be my partner for beer pong?”

open.  location : cosmos & goblins. 

“Halloween is not my thing,” Temperance stated with two alcoholic beverages in her hands, both she intended to double fist in a matter of minutes. Alcohol was quite easy to get down for her as she was quite the partier in her college days, and she swore that it made her more fun and open. If she was drunk, the fun would really start and all of her inhibitions would get tossed right out the window. “But if I drink these drinks, plus maybe two more, I’m sure some fun could be had here. Are you fun?” Who could honestly say no to this question? Temperance assumed that anyone who would say no was telling the truth, and anyone who said yes, would be lying. “Either way, I’m going to assume that you’re not, unless you suggest something else to do.” 

“Why not?” Bo asked the younger woman, looking over at her with curiosity in her eyes. Truth be told, she had always loved Halloween, it was a way for her  to finally get some time off of work and spend time with her kids. “I’ve always been told I was. Although my own husband told me so, so I don’t know how true it must be.” She admitted with a chuckle. “We could always go apple picking?”
