Get Down, Baby! [active/open]

[my-heart-shakes.livejournal.com]

Character(s):  Akutare and any other party-goers
Content:  To keep himself entertained, the Dark Hero decided to throw a party.
Setting:  The Wild Ginger
Time:  Late Afternoon going on into the night
Warnings: None as of yet... but I'd suggest you not be the last one out of there.

[Note: Since there's probably going to be a bunch of people in this post, I figure it'd be best to break it up into mini-threads.  Just make your post in here and others will reply to it or make a completely different post if your character is gathered somewhere else.  Feel free to thread hop in between and have fun~!]

While he waited for everyone to arrive, Akutare lounged in one of the chairs, fiddling with his journal and pointedly ignoring the disapproving looks from the man nearby.  It had taken the demon a long time to convince the owner of the establishment to allow him to throw this party (especially since it was so sudden), but he'd managed to get it done, promising the owner that everything would be paid for along with a bonus for all of the people who happened to be working that night.

Now that he thought on it, it had actually been a lot easier than Akutare had expected.  Not that he was complaining.  He probably just happened to get a particularly gullible and greedy group of suckers on his hands.  All the better for him!  Still, he wondered just what kind of currency they had in this place, anyway.  Everything seemed shiny enough that they probably had something that glowed or something like that.  Maybe.  He guessed he should have asked something like that when he just came in.  Oh well, he'd manage somehow.

"Aaaaand posted!" he noted to himself, pressing the button and waiting for the responses and people to roll on in.  Haha, this was an awesome idea.

Akutare frowned and glared. Well it wasn't very funny to him. "Hey, I've never had hallucination-jesters before. It could have been possible," he replied, looking away after he said it. It wasn't like he had been fooled or anything! He'd just... Well, he wasn't embarrassed.

It may not be amusing to Akutare, but it was funny to NiGHTS, at least. "Lots of people think I'm odd, if that helps," replied NiGHTS, perfectly innocent, "but no one's accused me of being a hallucination for a long time." Most of the people who did that were adult Visitors who hadn't realized they'd fallen asleep and were dreaming.

At least he wasn't the only one to make the mistake... even if NiGHTS was the one who had suggested he was a hallucination in the first place. "All right, all right. Just don't try anything like that again. I'm on to you, you know," Akutare finally replied, looking back over at him.

"Sure!" NiGHTS smiled, crossing his fingers behind his back. What Akutare didn't know couldn't hurt him, right? Besides, most of NiGHTS pranks were harmless, anyway.

Most.

Like he was going to believe that! Like Akutare had said, he was onto this jester's game. He was going to have to get up a lot earlier in the morning if he was going to trick the Dark Hero again. He nodded once. "All right, glad we've got that settled."

NiGHTS grinned. "So am I!" he replied cheerfully, giving Akutare a mischievous wink. Of course, it was only settled until NIGHTS felt playful again, as it were, but Akutare certainly didn't need to know that.

It was so much more fun that way.

"All right, then. So, you here for the party, the free food, or what?" he asked curiously, plopping into a nearby chair and moving into a more relaxed position, his arms folded behind his head. "Like... just a random decision or something?"

NiGHTS shrugged. "I just felt like it," he replied. "I haven't really been doing much around here, and a party sounded like fun." Besides, Akutare had proven amusing to mess around with. "I don't need to eat, though." Even though he could eat, if he wanted, it wasn't something he did too often.

Just felt like it, huh? Well, that was a good enough reason for him. Didn't need much of a reason to party, anyway. "Okay, so if you're not a hallucination, then what are you? I mean, since you don't need to eat and all?"

[eternitydreamer.livejournal.com]

"Me?" NiGHTS giggled, gesturing innocently to himself. "I'm a dream, of course!" Well, nightmare, but Akutare didn't need to know that. "I came from the Night Dimension, where dreams come from."

Akutare regarded NiGHTS with more than a little suspicion. "How do I know you're not lying to me?" he asked, lightning-bolt eyebrows knitting together as the demon made a show of inspecting the not-quite-hallucination-jester.
