~*^*~*^*~ Halloween Masquerade party! ~*^*~*^*~

Welcome to our annual Halloween Masquerade!

Grab some refreshments, pull up a chair or hit the dance floor! And don't forget your costume. You can come as you are or post with as many screen names (socks/costumes) as you like and reveal your identity when the party is over.

Or not...

MASQUERADE!
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!

Masquerade!
Every face a different shade . . .
Masquerade!
Look around -
there's another
mask behind you!

Flash of mauve . . .
Splash of puce . . .
Fool and king . . .
Ghoul and goose . . .
Green and black . . .
Queen and priest . . .
Trace of rouge . . .
Face of beast . . .

Faces . . .
Take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .

Eye of gold . . .
Thigh of blue . . .
True is false . . .
Who is who . . .?
Curl of lip . . .
Swirl of gown . . .
Ace of hearts . . .
Face of clown . . .

Faces . . .
Drink it in, drink it up,
till you've drowned
in the light . . .
in the sound . . .

But who can name the face . . .?

 

*walks around looking mysterious*

 

*frantically arranges cups, drinks, plates and snacks*


Oh spoot! Decorations!

*runs to get streamers*

 

Can I request that we do not bob for apples? Or better yet, not have any sized container of water laying around?

 

*pokes head in*

am i too early?
stang!

*decorates place with pencils*


*turns on music and starts dancing badly*
tango anyone?




*~*~*~*~*~*
Why so serious?

 

I would love to tango!

*sticks in teeth*

 

well, hel-LO beautiful.

*snatches Deliah and starts mad tango*






*~*~*~*~*~*
Why so serious?

 

*is dressed as Christine when the Phantom comes to take her*

Angel, I hear you
Speak, I listen
Stay by my side
Guide me
Angel, my soul was weak
Forgive me,
Enter at last, Master

Okay, we really need a Phantom, now....

God bless Andrew Llyod Webber, Charles Hart and Gaston Leroux!

-Lures

 

I've got a batch of raw, slimy, fresh-from-the-gourd pumpkin seeds here. Anybody got a good recipe for cooking them?

Or a recipe for punch, cuz the tango dancers just spilled it...

 

*sees punch on the floor*

*drops deliah*

*starts licking up punch*

hmmm good one.
you want me to make some more? i got very special special ingredients...
no?

mmmkay

*grabs jedi_trance and tangos again*




*~*~*~*~*~*
Why so serious?

 

*steps on to the dance floor*

*begins daning 'The Frankenstein'*

*can't bend arms, so punch is out*

 

*Stands in shadows, only a white half-mask is visible*

Flattering child you shall know me,
See why in shadows I hide!

Look at your face in the mirror -
I am there inside!

Yes, Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is divine.

Just lay them in a single layer on a cookie sheet that was sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, sprinkle lightly with sea salt, then bake in the oven @ 350 until lightly toasted.

 

*walks in wearing a stunning black renaissance dress decked out with blood and spiders*

*sits down in a chair and calls for some pumpkin juice*

I cannot stay long unfortunately. Duty calls and all that nonsense.

 

*walks in dressed as the Phantom, starts singing "Masquerade"*

Anyone for more Andrew Lloyd Webber music? I really want to see Phantom again on Broadway.

My goal at this party is to eat as much candy as I can without getting sick.

 

Hello, everyone! I may be in and out of the party--I have a devil of a time getting my little Andy to sleep.

 

*begins dancing to the music*

Sounds wonderful to me.

I would love to see anything on Broadway.

*waves*

Hello Rosemary!

 

Hello, Countess!

I haven't been to Broadway in years. I don't often get out due to my darling little Andy. He does make finding a babysitter tough.

Will there be party-games?

 

It's just so difficult to find good help isn't it? I'm sure your darling is quite precious, despite what everyone else tends to say. I've just had no time for the theatre with all of those desperate suitors pounding at my door every night. We should see a show together some time, dear.

There must be party games, perhaps we should start our own while we wait for the others to arrive?

 

what about - a magic trick?





*~*~*~*~*~*
Why so serious?

 

*claps hands* I love magic tricks. Any volunteers? I would, but I'm afraid I'm not dressed for the occasion.

 

I'm all for magic tricks. Which one?

 

i could undress you for the occasion if that's any help?
also, no stains on the dress....



*~*~*~*~*~*
Why so serious?

 

I'm not certain the party has lasted long enough for such talk, Joker.

Besides, I'm sure someone else would love to help with a magic trick. I would love to see how you perform that disappearing pencil trick

 

I'm up for a magic trick, as long as I don't get sawed in half...

 

Good I'll go fetch a pencil.
