Mages Guild: All-guild Halloween Party Edition

Does it count as a costume if a lot is illusion?

Well at least you can't be blamed for the zombie problems.
Damnit Mikaal.
Got any spare drink?
I thought all costumes were sort of illusions.
It counts.

Of course I do!
>reaches into his suit and pulls out 2 glasses and a bottle
>gives a glass to Izz as he starts pouring
Happy Halloween

Oh, were we supposed to wear a costume to this party?

Something like that, yeah.

Really? I didn't peg you for using a dagger that much.
>Worth noting Diana is...rather adept at such, for a mage.

I just decided to.

Hey guys, just swinging in from the Fighter's Guild party down the street. Do we have a keg going in here yet?

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Uncle V got me lessons in protecting myself with it when I first got here.

It's better for using on my classmates than necromancy.

what prompted this? and who are you?

Happy halloween.
>Drinks.
That should be fun to watch.
Yeah, over there in the corner.

I'm the current head of the nearly non existent spellblade department and mostly just come and go as I please when I'm not adventuring.
Who are you?

Martin mystic.

...I'm pretty sure it was advertised as such.

Seems reasonable.

Keg?
>Diana tilts her head as if she's unfamiliar with the word.

Hey guys, check out my human woman costume? Pretty neat huh?

>taps your wing
You look halloween ready Obsidia

Where iiis your costume!

Here, follow me, I'll how you how to party like a martial
>takes hand, heads towards keg

Pffffffffff you still get advertisements? Just use the adblocker buff

>tries to start a Slow clap

I mean I could see that from your nametag. What do you do around here?

I mean. It sort of works.
I forgot the party was happening.

Hey, hey!
>Waves his hand away

But thanks.

Thanks.
>Giggles

Do?

>reaches into jacket
>pulls out a brown tied bag and hands it to you
Some chocolate. For you.
Happy Halloween!

Oh, the mead barrels. Why didn't you say so to begin with?

...Not that kind of advertisement...

You know, what's your position in the guild.

there is only 5 kinds of advertisements.

Really? Which ones are they?

>Giggles
>Takes the bag
Thank you!

I didn't get you anything though! Sorry.

What's happening with barrels?

Really then. Do tell.

...
>trying to figure out how to explain booze to a 13-year old girl

I might have something for you in my wares!
>reaches into his jacket
Any requests?

Oh its okay!
>nudges you
Ill just have to give you a trick later!

Thats only four.
But I see what you mean.
I know it sounds silly. But do you have a white sheet with some eye holes in.
I love the old costumes.

>Cocks her head
>Waits patiently
>Smiling innocently

>eeps
W-what kind of trick?

>Walks into the main hall from a set of stairs

i already said the 5th.

Ahh! Simple enough!
>pulls out a white sheet and pokes eyeholes in it
Here you go!

>crouches slightly over you wiggling his fingers
A prank!
>chucckles and stands back up

You from the fighters?
>Puts it on.
Its the simple things. Thanks.

>arrives or arrived with the fighters guild members
Mages guild throws the best parties! They always have those cool floating lights and so much food even we can eat our fill!

>Eeps extra hard
N-no pranks, please.

>Stares
>Wuts internally

>Wuts harder

Oh hey cool vampire costume!

Yes.
Though I have relatives that study here and one that works here.
Hahaha!
How are things, Obsidia?

...hoo boy. This is going to get out of hand quickly. Guess I'll need to get to work when the portals start going haywire.

Ayyyyy, what's up bro? Dude, you ready for that 'Swords and chainmail' test on tomorrow? I haven't even started studying yet

Oh, thanks?
>Continues to wut

Good.

Got kinda... Hurt a bit over the past few days, but I'm alright now.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Nice to meet you. Grab a drink.
Who are they?

Hey folks. Figured I'd drop by, deliver some good halloween cheer in the form of delicious drinks and snacks.
Brought some Rum apples, brought a recent batch of my mandragora wine, and I brought plenty of Witch-hazelnut coffee for the designated riders and centaurs.
Oh, and the mini-scarecrows are not for the young initiates. Those are a special crossbreed between my strongest kush and bamboo.
The youngsters can partake of the chocolate Rodan pops, though, I made plenty of those.

Can't stick around and chat, sadly. My lord Godzilla has been rather upset lately with a new scry-flick being released. Keeps saying something about his image being ruined, or raging about the idea of growing wings, or something about an elf named An'no going to far. Gotta make sure he doesn't get near any metropolitan areas.

Still, you folks enjoy your party. Happy all hallows eve!

What kind of
>air quotes
Devil would I be if I couldnt grant your desires!

It wouldnt be anything like your last prank!

Hey!
>points to tail and wings
Nice outfit!

I'm a Bast!
>Previously on mages guild....
>Bast was an imp and turned into an Incubus, So hammer is dressed as a succubus.
Ewww, theres a test coming up?
Chocolate!

If something happens with the portals you can rely on me, DIO!
>Ereplacs has maw portals that look like his mouth open and laugh with him
Hm? Test?
What? Who are the fools that have hurt you?
Fish-face is the one that works here.

Nice, wine.
Also that scry-flick was odd.
It made your boss' eyes look really wierd.
Uh oh. What has this sheet cost me.
>Feigns worry.
Glug? That explains a lot.

That's good.

Ew.
>Is 13

Well, one was the windshield of the guild, because I was in front of it when it started moving.

And the other apologized and she's not a bad person, really.

Seeing as this is a borrowed costume
Ill just take 10 years off your life.
>chuckles
Immortal life currency

>pats you
Dont worry.
Enjoy the chocolate though!
It is your favorite right?

Its the Halloween spirit! Slutty Doctor, Slutty Farmer, Slutty Guard, Slutty Thief, Slutty Librarian...
>The list continues
>Where has she been shopping geez

You got me.
I miss when everyone used to dress up as the dead.

>Bats away his pat
Y-yeah, I do like it.

A-are you old enough to be talking like that?
>Is 13

Yes, I suppose it does.
>A cup floats over to Ereplacs and he drinks from it
Do I need to beat up the entire building or is there a culprit?

Don't, Izz. Just don't.
I've heard "I'm not a fucking eeeeeeeeellll!" at least seventeen times in the past day. The tail breath, laser light show, radar, and G-sapiens have him dangerously close to a meltdown.

Aaah crap, he's sending me a message spell now... Gotta bounce.

Wait, you guys have tests? What's happened to the fighters' guild since I left?

>Downs drink
Last I heard he has some trouble with his students.
Good luck man, stay safe.

Yes thats why I'm finally allowed to wear whatever I want! Woo!
>Barely Legal
That sounds boring.

U-uh... I didn't get the name of the guy driving. But he was a real shithead.

...
>Stares in horror
>Possibly existential horror

He's fixed that, unless he has new troubles with them.
Did you see him?

Dont worry in a few years you'll be able to wear whatever you want too!

Uh, yeah.

I could tell you who he was if I saw him again.

I don't want to dress like that.

Huh, thats good to know.
I never got a good look at Shithead thinking about it.
The red robe really obscured them.

>ara ara
Hey baby.

No need, if you just really focus on picturing him in your head I'll be able to know what he looks like as well.
Yep. My name is Ereplacs by the way. But for the rest of tonight you may call me DIO!

Yeah. most redrobes wear their robes like that so people can't tell them apart.

Some of them don't but...

Uh...

Okay.
>Concentrates on what the shithead redrobe looks like

Hey, I vaguely recognize you.

Alright, who summoned that Skeleton skulking around in the corner?

Got it. I feel like that might be a reference to somthing...
I suppose it comes with the title.
Wait. Whats it doing?

It appears to be doing the worm now.

Oh its just a party skeleton. Im sure it means no harm.

Pie for sale

>Ereplacs reads her surface thoughts and sees what the shithead redrobe looks like
Tsk, a redrobe.
It is.
>Ereplacs chuckles
What kind of pie?

>A vex costume, Perfect!
This party needs more pyrotechnics and music.

Used to be part of the Warriors' Guild. Pretty sure it got absorbed into the Fighters' Guild.
But I hang around the Fighters' Guild nowadays, pretending like my membership didn't lapse.

Ah, that'll be it. How are you? neat costume.

Apple, peach, and berry surprise

Yeah, probably.

Uh... Yeah.

>Incindia please, there are children present
>Maximum wut
>Averts her eyes

>Continues to be a terrible rolemodel

Good costume anyway.
Fireworks go outside.

Doing well, just got back from a long and lonely adventure. Anyway, this is what I normally wear, dispelled the costume I had on.

Yarr.
Ho ho ho and a bottle of rum. So on and so fort.

But they look so much cooler inside!
>Sets a spinning line of flames across the floor, it dodges and twists around peoples feet and singes some dustbunnys who were minding their own business

KATIA
Good to see you, girl!

How much?
>Were there any differences between his attire and a regular redrobe's?
Thanks. It took a while to apply all the paint.

How have you been? I got back together with my girlfriend. It was really touching.

>a crippled redrobe wearing a full body leather suit rides a floating dick and smiles unnaturally next to an old man wearing plastic armor
WH: Hurr Durr where do i hit things. ahahaha! happy halloween everyone!
SS: HAHHAHAHA! If I wasn't currently under your thrall I would be stabbing you with these fake daggers

>Flustered Obsidia noises

>Not really
>Was a random shithead redrobe

I've been well, off doing adventurer stuff. I'm glad to hear you're back in a stable relationship, we'll have to talk about it later.
