    [Pontius, Codebreaker and Tuskfang]

    Tuskfang seems confused when Codebreaker shakes his hand. It's clear he didn't expect it to happen. Is it some kind of other Wolfen custom, that his dad didn't teach him?

    "No, I'm here with my cousins and aunt and uncle." He points to the swarm of goblins (and one gnome) milling about the place and two adult goblins keeping an eye on them. "My name is Tuskfang. I'm too little to earn a new one yet," he supplies helpfully, fully expecting Codebreaker to understand.

    [Thariza and Felandria]

    Thariza, a Charr dressed up like some sort of purple crystal monster, spots Reginald at the snack table before she spots Felandria. Or rather, the little weasel draws her attention more than the very large person.

    "Hey there, little guy."

    [Wenomir]

    The commander of Vigil is milling around, Cassandra currently occupied elsewhere. He's wearing a surprisingly fancy costume, complete with a large fake sword.

    [Braon and Mina]

    Braon frowns. "...Why wouldn't butter be fine for you?" She asks. "I mean, aside from the inherent weirdness of... you know." She makes a vague sort of gesture at Mina's chest, tacitly reminding her where butter comes from and that she now bears a striking resemblance to its originators. "...Wait, hold on. 'With this body'? You weren't born like this?"

    [Miranda]

    Miranda arrives at the party, giving a brief nod to the usher (or equivalent) as she enters. At first glance, she'll appear to have merely dressed nicely, as opposed to being in costume; her outfit consists of a one-piece, loose-fitting suit and polished black boots. The suit itself is also mostly black, aside from the chest, back, and top of the arms, which are bright red and collectively make up a vaguely polygonal pattern. The only giveaways as to the nature of her costume is a little A-shaped badge on the left side of her chest, a quartet of gold pips on her collar, and a pair of boxy implements mounted on her hip (not to be confused with the Hotbox she already carried).

    By the standards around here, the origins of the costume might make her look like a bit of a nerd. But to her, this was criminally obscure, and she'll be glad to be recognized all the same.

    She briefly considers going up to Wenomir to strike up a conversation, but decides against it for the moment. After their last encounter at Vigil, she wasn't sure they were on proper speaking terms.

    Braon and Mina

    Mina has not forgotten about her chest. It's one of several things she hasn't quite gotten used to.
    It's a concern for all the same reasons humans make dairy products from livestock and not each other." Though wet nurses used to be a thing.
    "And I'm not technically a cow, I just have a lot of similarities. Processing other species' dairy is a whole weird gene thing I don't have all the details of.
    And no, I look like this because of a bureaucratic decision that my grand destiny required me having horns. And being the Ultimate Bovine of Ultimate Destiny didn't come with a manual on my digestive track. Or my ankles. At least I skipped to the end of puberty."
    No one would have wanted to be around for that.

    Codebreaker and Tuskfang

    "My name's Codebreaker. I'm sure you'll get yourself a very good one some day." He was fairly sure that wolfen names were dictated somehow. He wasn't sure if it was post-event or destiny or something. Sounds like the former, which makes sense. Original CB must have named himself after becoming a priest. Or maybe this was always his skillset.

    Braon cringes sympathetically. "I feel that." She says, one of her hands going up to her own horns. "...Sort of. Not quite the same, but... yeah actually not the same at all aside from the horns. And, well, how people percieve them." She shrugs. "Inside's a better place than most for that, I guess. Lots of tieflings and at least a few other minotaurs here."

    Mina appreciates the attempt to be relatable at least.
    "Well if you ever want to see how quickly you can learn a new skill that's now required to function at a basic level, try suddenly giving yourself hooves and a significantly different center of mass at the same time." she snorts, grumpily chomping down a cookie.
    Unfortunately, Mina did not inherit the role of a graceful, fluid martial artist. Any hint of subtlety has been drained from her being without even a hint of a mental effect on her.

    "No, thank you." Braon replies with a little smile. "I don't hate myself that much." She pauses, then, her face lights up slightly. "...Nor, for that matter, do I hate you that much. So, I have an idea." She rubs her hands together as she explains. "There's this thing we enchanters can do; it's colloquially been called the 'evil eye', but it's really a fairly basic hex. The most common use is hitting someone with a run of bad luck; or at least, that's how it's most commonly understood. It'd be more accurate to say 'hitting them with an imperceptible compulsion toward self-sabotage'. Anyway, in order to do it, we have to sort of work ourselves into this state of absolute loathing, which then gets grafted onto the victim. The thing is... I have proof positive that this trick works in reverse, too." She smiles. "If you ever meet a tiefling by the name of Fayaad, he can back me up on this. Just ask him how much that ring of his has helped him out. Anyway, what would happen is I would take a state of benevolence, wanting to help you out, and graft it onto you. The resulting enchantment would then sort of subtly affect the way you do things, so they go a little more how you intend instead of what physics demands." She smirks. "Care to give it a shot?"

    Those wide eyes and enthusiastic smile should tell Jade two things about Siana.

    First, she is hanging on to every word Jade says. Not only does this technology appeal to her, she clearly thinks more highly of Jade for learning she'd come up with it. It's one thing to have someone say she's a genius, it's another entirely to imagine her putting in all the hours of hard work and mental conundrums that must have gone into creating this miraculous (and frankly, cool-looking) technology.

    Second, she does not understand a syllable of it.

    Mina seems kind of uncertain.
    "I dunno. Last time I accepted magic from someone I met ten minutes earlier I ended up gaining four hundred pounds. It's not as permanent as 'grafting' makes it sound, is it?" she asks hesitantly.

    "Eeeeh..." Braon weighs her hands in a "more or less" sort of gesture. "No but also sort of yes. Your consciousness will absorb the graft over the course of about a week, so after that, the magic will stop affecting you. But in that time, you'll be getting little adjustments to your movements that your subconscious will pick up on and store, so when the magic does wear off, you'll be doing the right gestures on your own. Think of it as like a set of training wheels that fall off when you don't need them anymore."

    Jade can tell when she's lost someone. "Sorry. Long story short, it's not magic. I'm no good at magic." Actually, she's fairly good at magic, but hates it. Magic is inexplicable, and therefore causes her a headache. But she just had to be turned into a magical fox.

    Sure she did. Braon hadn't told Mina this, but she was still hurting for friends. Having someone who was indebted to her, even only a little, was as close as she had so far managed. "It should be. I like you, Mina. I'd be happy to he-"

    "Hello there." Braeg pops up behind Mina, giving her a little shoulder pat. "Good news. Your balance shouldn't be a problem anymore."

    CB sticks his hands in his pockets and tries to give some feigned modesty.
    "I broke an encryption that no living person should have been able to do, in a time no computer would have been able to do it. Details are...long and possibly classified but you get the idea, I'm sure." Yes, something like that. Maybe it contributed to how OCB got all his money.

    Mina suddenly blinks as the guy who didn't introduce himself...reorients her natural balance? Tinkers with her self-perception? She's not really sure what exactly he did, other than that her ankles don't feel shaky anymore.
    "Um. Thanks?" she says, utterly confused.

We might not be able to see his face in there, or really anything at all but the faint glow of his left eye, but even so, his bruised ego couldn't be more transparent. The very idea of somebody equaling his showmanship, how dare she! Heresy, blasphemy, madness! Maybe he'll call dibs on Spooktober next year, just to prove her wrong!

    A hand reaches out for the catgirl's own, as a cyborg dressed as a certain faceless mobile game protagonist steps forward, and the hooded helmet turns to survey the landscape around them. Okay fine, the animated orchestra is a nice touch. The headless suits of armor, too. Floating candles and jack o'lanterns are fine as well, I guess. Okay, maybe it'd take a little bit more effort than we expected to match this level of spectacle. There's plenty of people who've never hosted even one Spooktober though, so it wouldn't be that fair to snatch it away from them. Bette to not call dibs after all, especially for such a petty reason. We could obviously do better, it'd just be a chore to go out of our way to prove it. Yeah, that's why we're not doing it, out of magnanimity and laziness, not because this spooky castle is actually good.

    "Still not sure how to feel about this costume idea, by the way. On the one hand, from afar, nobody will be able to tell it's me, but on the other hand, nobody will be able to tell it's me," he remarks. It should be so much easier to avoid weirdos like Ithuriel and the other MagClones, sure, but how are the commonfolk supposed to look at him and immediately feel an overwhelming sense of inferiority and humility like they usually do? Then again, how many other spooky hooded people always seen in the company of catgirls are there in the Nexus? Even the dumbest plebeians should know enough about the world's greatest supervillain to have a good guess at to who's hidden within that helm.

    "Y'know, it's kind of adorable how much you love notoriety," Caelynn teases with a smile. "Still, it can be pretty fun to go incognito every once in a while, right?

Should he turn around, he'll find a rather familiar blonde catgirl whose attire is just as surprisingly fancy considering the woman wearing it.

    "Oh, sir! Um, hi?" Blanche first stiffens as if at attention before looking rather awkward and relaxing, brushing back a lock of her hair in a bit of a subconscious fidget. Wenomir will note that she's gone through the trouble of dyeing her hair and ears light purple to match the character.

    [Wenomir - Starward Swords]

    "Oh, hello Blanche." Wenomir looks slightly surprised to run into her here, though he probably shouldn't be. "No 'sir' today, though, please. Spooktober is one of the occasions where I get to stop being the commander of Vigil."

    "Er, of course, sorry-." She seems to almost say it out of habit before managing to catch herself. "It's, uh, never been easy for me to slip out of being on the job, honestly." A beat. "Well, er, I was just about to grab a drink. Wanna come with?

The suit itself is also mostly black, aside from the chest, back, and top of the arms, which are bright red and collectively make up a vaguely polygonal pattern. The only giveaways as to the nature of her costume is a little A-shaped badge on the left side of her chest, a quartet of gold pips on her collar, and a pair of boxy implements mounted on her hip (not to be confused with the Hotbox she already carried).

    By the standards around here, the origins of the costume might make her look like a bit of a nerd. But to her, this was criminally obscure, and she'll be glad to be recognized all the same.

    She briefly considers going up to Wenomir to strike up a conversation, but decides against it for the moment. After their last encounter at Vigil, she wasn't sure they were on proper speaking terms.

    [Squeak Miranda]

    When Miranda is deciding against going to Wenomir she will hear "Squak" from below. A grey creature which might be a stuff animal with papercraft wot look like a mice looks up at her.

    Reginald makes happy Reginald noises upon receiving scritchies.

    Felandria has found some cheese cubes and salami slices for Reginald and brings them to him and finds him receiving some love.

    Got you some snackos, buddy.

    Coming in a bit late, a very unlikely pair of characters arrive.

    First, a woman: half skeletal (on the left), half young and beautiful (on thr right), dressed in an elegant Kimono... the kami of life and death doesn't really need a costume.

    At Izanami's side, though, is a very out of place looking man: devistatingly handsome, tall, muscular, perfect raven-dark hair and jet black eyes with a cruel twist to his lips. He is dressed in a perfectly fitted medium gray business suit of finest silk, with black patent leather shoes. A set of designer sunglasses hang from his coat's breast pocket and glimpses of a watch peek out from his sleeve.

    The Lord of frozen Cania in his guise as the terrible Agent Zero surveys the guests with a smirk, but business is on hold for tonight and Mephistopheles has come to relax.

    Shall we see what refreshments they have, my lady?

    Izanami nods

    Certainly.

    And so that way they go.

    Braon and Mina/Snack Table

    Mina is very confused as the two fiendlings go running off. Left alone to her own devices, the pale minotaur in the brown coat will be found casually munching on festive cookies if Izanami and her guest come that way looking for refreshments.

    Codebreaker and Tuskfang

    "My tribe has spirits, sure. But I've lived alone for a very long time. I think I was your age when I saw them last." Codebreaker explains. He consider that probably accurate. Considering original Codebreaker was dead for a year and no family stepped up to inherit his estate it's likely they had no connection to him. Or that he was disowned. Either may have been possible.

    Tuskfang gasps.

    "You've lived all this time without your family? That's so sad! What happened to them?"

    The little boy is credulous like most kids his age, so he doesn't suspect anything. But he also doesn't quite grasp why this is an indelicate question.

    [Thariza and Felandria]

    "I'm Thariza," the Charr says. "And I assume this little critter here is your pet." She gives Felandria a closer look. She's a big one, alright. "Are you a Norn, by any chance?"

    [Starward Swords]

    "Gladly. And I know how that goes. At least I'm used to it by now. I was never a soldier before winding up in charge of Vigil, by process of elimination."

    Wenomir will follow Blanche to the drink table. Not that he plans to drink anything alcoholic. Or strongly alcoholic, at least.

    [Snack Table]

    The Goddess and Devil Lord do indeed come up to the table

    Hm... quite an assortment. Does anything strike your fancy? I'd imagine nothing here will be quite as sugary as those odd little creatures you live among prefer to make, but sure something can tempt you.

    Izanami laughs

    Trust me, even I get quite tied of endless amounts of sweets.

    Then she smiles to Mina

    Hello there, I don't believe we have met before. I am Izanami, and my companion here is Mephistopheles

    Snack Table

    Mina seems a bit surprised as she turns to see people addressing her. She does her best to quickly swallow the food in her mouth. She bows, putting a hand to keep her hat on as she does so. She's remove it but it's actually very hard to put on and remove with her horns.
    Given the context she's not entirely sure if she's being given names or costume names but she sure as heck isn't going to be taking any risks on the matter.
    "My name is Mina. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." she says, her tone and accent belying her appearance.
    Sai sure would be freaking out right now.

    [Snack Table]

    Siana smiles. "That'll be good." She looks over at the cupcakes and mentally debates the merits of grabbing one. They're bad for her; much more so than they would be anyone else. They gave "empty calories" a new meaning.

    But they did look tasty.

    Siana bites into a cupcake, forgetting about the wrapping and casually munching that up, too.

    [Squeek Miranda]

    It takes Miranda a moment to realize someone's talking to her. She glances around at eye level for the speaker, and when that fails, thinks to look down. Maybe she's being addressed by one of those halflings she's heard so much about. Or a talking animal of some kind?

    ...Oh.

    That is a tiny person.

    "Well, I would hope not." She smiles. "Putting aside how bad that would be in general, you'd hate to lose the captain." She makes a gesture toward the pips on her collar, before grinning and extending a pinky to shake. "Miranda Cortez. What's your name?"
    Who're you? ...Don't matter.

    Izanami politely bows in return

    Mephisto turns on his charm, sweeping down to kiss Mina's hand

    The pleasure is all mine! And how has the party been so far this year?
