#happiestevent13

Remy wasn't much of a Halloween person. Sure, he liked trick or treating when he was a kid, just like any other. And getting free candy, and an excuse to play pranks, was awesome. But, as he grew up, his interest in the holiday dwindled significantly. He would assume that was normal, much like with other holidays, like Christmas and Easter; but you wouldn't know that in Redwood Hollow, where people took every opportunity to have a party very seriously.

And from all the open-invitation parties in Redwood Hollow, the one which he had been the most interested in was that of this new restaurant, Evangeline's. The fact that they offered samples didn't hurt.

"In case you're wondering," Remy said to the person standing beside him, before they could open their mouth. "Yes, I'm dressed up for the occasion. As a blueberry." It consisted of a blue puffer jacket borrowed from a cousin, and a green beanie. It was probably a new record in low-effort costuming.

EVANGELINE'S EVENT

'You are cordially invited to the grand opening of Evangeline's, for a dining experience you will never forget! Come along for a selection of drinks and samples, before we turn the lights right down and get our spook on.'

Posters had been popping up around town for months, and fliers popped through almost every letter box in town, announcing the grand opening of a brand-new restaurant, started by none other than Ray Bug, a staple face in the Hollow's tourism community. Buzz for the place grew slowly but surely (aided, in part, by the mention of a party, which we all know the people of Redwood Hollow simply cannot resist). A Halloween opening could either be a wise move, or a terrible one, given the council's penchant for throwing massive town events this time of year, but Ray is hopeful nonetheless. Sometimes change is good! Sometimes a change of scene is all you really need.

So, come along to Evangeline's, for a night of cocktails, dancing and spooktacular jazz accompaniments! Come in costume and earn yourself an entry in the evening's haunted prize draw (a meal for two on the house!)

Mingling through the crowd now, Ray's smile was beaming so bright it could probably be seen from space. Turning at a tap to his shoulder, he smiled at the person infront of him. "Thank you! Welcome to Evangeline's! Are you enjoying yourself?"

The celebration was in full swing, and people certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves. Toulouse had been making more of an effort to spend time with his sister and Fig, as well as other friends, but wanted to make sure he was paying attention to Rachel as well. "Here you are," he smiled, as he brought over two drinks for them to try. "So, what do you think of the newest addition to town?"

There were other Halloween parties in Redwood Hollow, obviously. There were a ton of them by that time, since the people of the town adored holidays in general. One could have their pick of them, and they varied from scope to style. Some were more heavily themed than others, and some were, let's say, classier than others. This once, however, Guinevere chose a new spot to spend the festivities.

Evangeline's. The place which would host a grand opening, organized by its owner, Raymond Bug. Her curiosity was piqued. It was bold of him to choose a Halloween opening date, which only intrigued her more.

Guinevere arrived slightly, fashionably late, as per her tradition in these types of events. Dressed in a simple black dress (as simple as someone like her would wear, that is) and with a pointy witch hat to signal she had read the instructions to wear a costume, she stepped out of her car and into the restaurant.

Tina really, truly, honestly, wasn't going out of her way to find Peter at this party. In fact, she told herself she didn't really care if he was there or not. She was there enjoying herself with James and that was all that mattered. So when she inevitably wandered off to socialise and to let James have use of his arms for 5 whole minutes, she wasn't on the lookout for Peter. (Really, honest!) In fact, the fact that she walked backwards, right into Peter while staring at James at the other side of the room (to make sure he wasn't being chatted up by anyone) really said it all.

She was ready to apologise as she turned round to see who it was. And then she stopped mid "So-" to shoot an unamused glare at him instead.
