Halloween Party!
(Oh hey, someone in a disturbingly detailed Heath Ledger Joker costume managed to enter without anyone even noticing. He's currently staring straight at Phoenix in a manner that, to anyone who knows him, would instantly give his identity away.)
(The Treves twins enter at this point, though unlike certain people they do so with little fanfare. Belinda is covered from head to toe in tight black leather, with a cat-eared yellow biker's helmet covering her face. Simon, meanwhile, is looking distinctly awkward in a glittering purple tuxedo.)

Kaito: You better than anyone else here, at least. I'm gonna give mom a call to see if she can help, but you seem like the best out of everyone here.
Diane: <I've got all but the newest season, if you wanna watch!>

Echo: ...
-You've got her emotional now, good job-
Echo: {I'm not going to leave you. We aren't going to. I promise.}
Petunia: {When she makes promises, she always keeps them. Always.}
"I suppose I am at this point. Would explain the insanity I've had to deal with in the past few months," Silas responded, his tone slowly shifting back to the more open one.
"I've been undergoing some training with my right hand, Hacks, over here, and honestly it feels kinda good to be doing something different. Though I can't wait for the next chance at the big empty."
Upon Phaz stepping over, "Ah Ray! Good to see you, how's Sergey? Doing well? I'd also like to introduce our latest member of Team Asimov."
Halloween Party, Alola
Phaz: "Ah, Dearest's doing great too~! Continuing his challenges, although he likes to do them alone for a moment, so I'm waitin till we can continue together~. Otherwise, nice meeting a new guy~! Name's Ray Phazya, but you can call me Phaz."
He extends his hand to shade Super Nerd's one.
What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't goldDes looks over at Phaz.
"That one over there is gonna kill the tilde, ain't that right Kane?"
He turns to a masked Incineroar who is currently preoccupied with punch. Specifically the entire bowl.
"...Eugh."

GIVE ME YOUR FACESuper Nerd adjusted his hood by tugging on one of the large stuffed ears as he listened. "It's always good to do something different." He replied with a smile. "Though uh...I know what you mean when you say 'crazy stuff.' The J's tend to have a habit of pulling that out of people."
He turned to look at the newcomer with a blink, though they wouldn't see it due to the lack of eyes being shown. "Oh, uhm hello! I'm Teddie Lace, but Super Nerd is what most folks call me." He laughed awkwardly, reaching out to shake the other's hand.
Queenie, by this point, figured she had a brilliant idea to catch some attention...and with a look around the room, tried to spy a microphone to go with the PA system the place clearly had to have.

Lina: ...Alright, I will.
-She heads over to Alli, but glares at Sylveon first-
You really think she wouldn't be prepared? Plus, not what she wants to hear.
-She then goes over and scoops Alli into a hug. -
-Alli hesitates, then hugs back-
Sora: GIVE THEM TO MEEEEEEEEEEEE
Neon: ...Wolfram? You know her?
Gabe: Yeah, we better look...
Robin: ...Wow that does kinda suck.
Contact Me!"How do you feel about travelling to another dimension and fighting a interplanetary war. That's how I got the "Captain" title," Silas responded. "Though seeing Falconan and that insane hovecraft race was pretty cool wasn't it Phaz?"
Halloween Party
Phaz: "Nice to meet you Ted. You may have guessed, but I'm merely Silas's subby's - subordinate I meant. Still, I guess I'm somewhat good? Anyway, I feel like you're going to love being part of Asimov. I did love a lot what happened during our adventures through space. I bet you joined because of researching in space?"
"Oh, yes! I absolutely loved that. Too bad we can't really come back with Delta wings plans. I'd really like one for leisure, to be honest, hehe~"

Sylveon felt the glare dig into her, but she stood her ground. <What?> She asked. <Don't you have to take up the mantle when you defeat the champion's team?> She recalled.

"Who would we ask first?" Colton mused, fiddling with the fake hand grenade on his belt.
<Yeah, I don't think anyone knows who they'd be, given this is the first we've heard of them.> Rei confessed.
[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]Pleth: <Stop trying to sit up.>
-PEFE!Every's breathing evens out a bit-
PEFE!Every: ...Thank...you.
-a few tears leak out from under the bandages-
-Ever and Every(?) have now encountered each other-
-they each stare at the other-
-they tilt their heads in the same direction-
-they wave simultaneously-
-they-
Every(?): You're missing an arm.
Ever: Was hoping you wouldn't notice.
Every(?): One of us is going to have to change.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Super Nerd gulped in a deep breath when he heard the tales. That sounded....real. And suddenly he was being asked why he joined. "Uh well, uh..." He stammered. "Not uh...necessarily? I'm kind of incredibly terrified of space and the concept of being left stranded in total pitch black nothingness without air." He actually shivered.
"I'm uh...more doing independent study on the effects of urban development and it's effects on pokemon existence, and with Asimov's plans to colonize, it seems like a great place to do research. Plus, I'm also focusing on Philosophy and Ethics of cybernetic practices and how it relates to our world...and your robotics program is beyond fascinating."
He blushed a bit. "Sorry, I um...I can get rather monologish.."
From across the room, a triumphant girl with blonde pigtails held up a microphone from behind a desk. "Found it!" she called, before flipping it on and grinning to herself, declaring into the mic. "GOOD EVENING J-TEAM, AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" Propping herself on top of the desk, the Queenie of Hearts tilted her head back with a billowing laugh "OHOHOHO! IT IS YOUR LOVELY BEAUTY OF THE TEAM, QUEENIE HERE TO START THE FESTIVITIES WITH....."
"K A R A O K E!!!"

"<Holy shit, karaoke?>" Colton and Ammy chorused. Lucario didn't really care for it and Rei didn't know what it was. "Where do we sign up?" Colton asked, approaching the stage.
<You've got an idea of what you want to sing?>
"Do you?" He shot back. They nodded and hi-fived.

(Belinda has just noticed a disappointing lack of Jason at the party when the really loud voice blares over the PA system.)
Belinda: ...yeeeeah someone needs to stop whoever that is before they deafen us all.
(She dashes off, intend on finding the mysterious Large Ham.)
(In the meantime, Simon, who looks completely lost and slightly embarrassed by having to be in a costume at all, is available for interaction.)

Colton's approach to the stage was paused when he saw Simon, looking about as lost as him. Not wanting anyone to suffer the same sufferings he did at parties, he broke off from Lucario - after telling him what song to register him for - to chat with him.
"Hey, what's up?" He asked. "Who are you dressed as?"
[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]Queenie directed folks to a piece of paper by her feet on the desk that hastily had the word 'Karaoke List' written on top, with, appropriate space beneath to list singers.
"OKAY FOLKS! I'M GONNA START US OFF WITH AN APPROPRIATE THEME!" She called, kicking one leg up. "THIS IS, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"
Somehow, by the power of being Queenie, she got music to start pumping, as she began singing along to it.
Malie, past
-Upon noting trying to rip it off didn't work-
...Obviously we're gonna need to do something other than that.

-Has been totally waiting around to the side the whole time-

(Simon looks over at Colton. He very, very vaguely recognises the newcomer's costume as something music-related.)
Simon: I'm [Thomas Jefferson], apparently. It was my sister's idea. How this ridiculous getup bears any resemblance to [Jefferson] at all, I don't know...
(The girl dressed as a cat-eared biker babe suddenly tries to fling herself at Queenie, thoughts of saving the hearing of the partygoers rushing through her mind.)

-Kaito sighs, then digs out his phone. Vierr idly picks up a baked good from the dessert stand and starts eating it.-
Diane: <I SHALL just give me a moment— >
Skye: <wait hold on don't do it yet>
-Diane dramatically whips her armband off, and changes to human form. In the process, her costume is replaced by what seems to be a gijinka-ified version of Steel Swellow's appearance — a dress fading from blue at the top to red at the bottom, with metallic-colored lines in a vaguely spiral pattern around the bottom, as well as a pair of shiny gray arm-length gloves. Skye flails, and quickly takes her own armband off, ending up in a suit of armor that, by sheer chance, looks somewhat like this, except with a more Skarmory-head-shaped helmet.-
Diane: Tah-dah!
Skye: i wanted to do that in sync when we were prepared
-Diane digs through a bag that materialized with the costume change, and pulls out the first few seasons on DVD.-
Diane: Enjoy!

-In lieu of a hug that would potentially aggravate PEFE!Every's injuries, Echo gently pats her on the shoulder, then nods in acknowledgement to Tagg.-

"Oo~h, that's right!" Colton breathed. "I remember my boss bought tickets for the entire office once so we could see that play.
"You're not dressed as [Jefferson], you're dressed as [Hamilton]'s interpretation of him.
"And before you ask me, I'm the son of [rage and love]; the [Jesus of Suburbia]." He answered in hypothetical advance.

Lucario was giving some well-deserved applause to the singer while looking for where he could sign up for a ditty. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Simon: ...well, that explains it. Never been too fond of musicals.
Tastes better on the way back down.Pleth: (to Tagg) <...You are a master of stealth.>
PEFE!Every: ...Dr. Tagg. How much...did you hear?
-Ever and Every(?) are immediately distracted by the spider-gourd-
Every(?): Hello there!
Ever: Is that a Pumpkaboo?
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Queenie kept up her bouncing and singing, keeping it loud and fun and eye-catching. Finally! This was her moment of truth! When all eyes were on her and SHE was the star! She did not see incoming Belinda until it was too late.
"Because it's Happy Happy Hallow- OOF!" She sang, cut off by a bodyslam to the torso, resulting in the pair falling backwards behind the desk with a thud. The music would cut off in a thematically fitting way, leaving Flan to happily dance around on the desk.
Dab for me.
