The judges reconvened and had Silas grab the attention of everyone there. Silas picked up the Mic and said, "Конкурс сделан!"

Even if nobody understood it got their attention, Carol stepped forward, still wearing her Zero Suit costume, and tapped the mic, letting the feedback grab even more eyes, "Attention everyone! The judges and I have come to a conclusion for the Costume Contest, while all our attendants were great, I do mean that!, we had to come down to 3 finalists."

She looked about, "Could Kai, Pentigan, and Skye please come up here?"

Once they did so.

"First off in 3rd Place, for a rather unique Gijinka outfit of our favorite J-Teamer's Region God Yveltal, goes to Kai!" Carol announced, Kai was then handed with a goody bag filled with various candies, a bunch of smaller cartoony chocolate rockets, and a pDroid.

"Second place goes to Pentigan for a stylish entrance as 2B, I love the game and cried for like 10 minutes once I beat it!"

Pentigan was handed a bag with a Asimov coloured pDroid, some candied goodies, and what appeared to be a RC Rover styled after the exploration Rovers on Mars.

"A honorable mention to Tommy Peterson for his... Creative use of a simple suit to be multiple characters at once!"

There was some brief applause, and then. Silas walked over to Skye and handed her the Odysseus Rocket Sculpture, "The Chocolate is specially treated to last longer, food preservation is a big science we pursue."

Carol grinned, "As you can see, the first prize goes to Skye for that stunning entrance as The Vulture from Homecoming! We'll send you the bill for the ceiling later!"

Silas also handed Skye a big goody bag filled with candy, a Vulture Colour scheme pDroid, and a Asimov pin, then Silas also rolled out something else, "Oh and one last thing. We figured if we're giving out tech toys."

It was a RC version of the Odysseus Rocket, "Don't ask me how we got this one to work," Silas responded.

"Thank you all for coming to the contest and we hope you enjoy your evening! Dorm Rooms will be provided for anyone too tired to head home properly! Enjoy the night!" Carol shouted to the room.

Applause rang and Silas vanished into the shadows...

Only to appear near Diane, "So... Happy with the results?"

Party

-Alex briefly turns her attention away from the other science girls to glower at the stage-

Alex: At least the cool [Vulture] cosplay got first...

-Julius looks over at Elizabeth and waves.-

Julius: Elizabeth! I have a favor to ask of you.

~You owe me some of that candy.~

Asimov Party

Luciana claps briefly as the winners are announced.

Luciana: "Well, uh, yeah that sounds like an awkward topic for a first date. Or second. Or any time really but you're over it so that's good."

Vi: "A computer, probably."

Sunny: <Then you should date him too, Piano!>

Mezzo: Told you, I'm not doing that.

Asimov Halloween, Outside

Ama makes a squeezing motion and Daydre feels the construct constrict around her throat. She tries to pry it off of her, but the tail has a vice grip. Getting frantic now, Daydre blindly reaches for her belt and grabs a pokeball. Not having time to worry about who's inside, Daydre opens the ball and releases..

Rowan: <Hm? Oh hello Daydre how's the party.. going..>

He stops when he sees what's going on and blinks. Basically everyone present freezes, with the exception of Nandina and Torenia, who don't seem to want to sit still.

Rowan's appearance seems to be especially affecting to Ama. She stares at Rowan, a roiling mix of emotions playing across her face. Her grip on Daydre relaxes long enough for the latter to rip the tail off of her. Daydre falls to the ground, gasping for air.

For a moment, no one moves. But the lull is soon broken by Kaden shouting <RUN!>. Another moment passes before anyone actually makes a move. Strelitzia runs off first, followed by Kaden, the Zorua duo, and Rowan. Daydre hesitates for a second. But she soon gets over it when Ama also comes to her senses and eight more tail constructs appear behind her.

Rowan: <What did you just drag me into??>

"I don't entirely know myself but it's probably best if we run!"

Necrobutcher: <No, you is clearly Pidgeotto from Voltronomicon: Legitimate Defender! I knowings it! Please givingly me an autograph!>

Asimov Island, somewhere private

Ever: I mean, I don't want to do anything you're uncomfortable with, right? Because if you're not okay with it, obviously I won't.

Breeze: <Boring. I only do things people are uncomfortable with.>

Ever: That's because you're a demon. (to Mezzo) And, like, this goes both ways, obviously.

Breeze: <Nice.>

Ever: I'm taking away your Internet privileges. (to Mezzo) I mean, if there's someone you're interested in...

PEFE!Every:    Hmph.

-Brie has gone outside to get some air-

Brie: Nice night, huh?

Skyfire: <Yeah.>

Ramphyros: <I'm loving the show over there.>

Brie: Show...?

-she looks where Ramphyros is looking, and sees Daydre fleeing Ama-

Brie: ...

Skyfire: <...Brie. It's Halloween. Take a br—>

-Brie is already sprinting towards the chase, Skyfire diving after her. Ramphyros lets out a loud whoop and flies after-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Asimov party

Shutter looked on in disbelief at the mention of the composition of the chocolate spacecraft.

Reynard: Pretty nifty how they managed to also keep it from melting. Chocolate melts in room temperature, you know.

Shutter: You loaded that thing with preservatives.

Reynard: But of course. Otherwise, it'd melt and spoil before they have a chance to eat it. Did you know that its non-fattening?

Shutter: Say what now?

Reynard: Yeah, usually preservatives mess with the hormones and kind of add to the weight gain, but the stuff they don't... well... doesn't. My company was an early adopter of the preservative. We even used it on the little chocolate rockets everyone's getting.

Shutter: Hey, as long as it isn't that fattening.

Saffron City Magnet Train

-Looking at the destinations-

Maybe we should go to Pueltown, or all the way up to Jubilife, see if there's any rift activity in Almia or Sinnoh.

Tyto: <Do we have to deal with the cold again?>

Hitodama: <Helios and I could always warm you up.>

Muddy: <We haven't checked Johto yet either, we could go to Goldenrod instead.>

N's Castle

-Ann and co continue shooting-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Kai blinks at Lucius's eyebrow-raise, takes a moment to think about what they just said, and briefly internalize a moment of panic.-

-Thankfully, this is when the contest winners were announced, so they have an easy out.-

Kai: I should go get that. Nice talking to y'all, nice meeting you Luciana~

-They abscond.-

Scarlette: ...Rrrright. Yeah. It's out, it's off my conscience, good riddance.

-She downs her drink.-

---

-Kai and Skye arrive, and accept their winnings. Kai's attention briefly gets drawn away by Yveltal's voice.-

Kai: ~By all means, take what you want out of it when we're out of the middle of the party, it's the least I could do to thank you.~

-Skye, meanwhile, takes the statue.-

Skye: Wow, uh, I... didn't actually plan this far on what to do with this afterward. Uh. What do people even do with these things when they win them? Eating it doesn't feel right and the preservatives probably make it taste kinda bad anyway.

-Meanwhile, Diane is bouncing up and down on her heels excitedly as Silas manifests next to her-

Diane: Aaaaaa she won!! That was so exciting holy shit

-And at this point, Kai has already disappeared again to go change back into the Rogue outfit for the rest of the night (because heels are not good when you're as inebriated as they are).-

Asimov Island, Outside

Brebre: <Aw, my non-specific JoJo costume didn't even place!>

Sol: In retrospect dressing up as a creature from another dimension probably lost the judges. >_>

Ton: Are we still going on about that? I'm going to go watch the nogitsune chase down her doppelganger.

-Ton leaps onto the roof and starts running after Ama-

-Sol and Brebre stare at each other, then think maybe they should follow-

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Carol leans over to Skye, "Oh the chocolate is totally fine, we're using advanced space age sciences to preserve it, no fattening or taste loss," she whispers.

As for Silas and Diane, he has a hard time not smirking at Diane's enthusiasm, "Be happy friend, you two put a lot of work in and the result paid off."

Harold walks up, "Oh there you are."

"Hey Hacks," "Seriously, just call me Harold," "I will when you stop calling my Lucario form Stylus," "Fair enough. So what's up over here?" "Just congratulating Diane," "Well she should be proud."

The two laugh a bit, "So Diane, what are you and Skye going to do with your winnings?"

Asimov Island, Bar

-Lucius watches Kai leave with his eyebrow still raised.-

Lucius: Riiiight. See ya later, I guess.

-Inebriation quickly gets the better of him, however, and he throws his arm around Scarlette while looking over at Luciana.-

Lucius: Anyways, lemme tell you, you lucked out with Scar here. She's kinda the best. Also I hear tell that you're a magical girl or something like that? Dude, you gotta let me know how you stumble into a deal like that, because without giving the game away I'm kinda a free agent at the moment and looking for a gig.

Asimov Halloween, Outside

Ama's eyes flit over to the approaching Brie. While continuing to run, she pulls two pokeballs from.. somewhere and chucks them in Brie's general direction. The balls release an Alolan Ninetales and a Braixen wearing a flower hair clip.

Ama: "Hold them off. I'll be right back."

The Braixen nods, while the Alolan Ninetales gives Ama a pensive stare.

Ama: "..."

She runs off.

The Braixen and Alolan Ninetales get into fighting stances.

Asimov Stage, Hypno earlier

-Pent nods and remains silent-

Asimov Stage, Awards now

-Pent is just very quiet and hugs the prize bag tightly-

-It's kinda cute-

-She's got a mixed mood-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Sunny: <Oooh! You could date Noelle, or Lily, or—>

-Mezzo shushes Sunny-

Mezzo: Well, that's good to know, but I'm not really interested in anyone else.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Asimov Hypnosis Show

“Y’know, if none of us are really getting anything out of this,” Ammy observed, tails flicking in minor frustration under her dress. “then I’m gonna call a moratorium on this.

“Sleep,” she demanded while snapping her fingers, causing Colton to black out again, collapsing forward. She had something planned.

Asimov Halloween, Outside

Brie: Mierda...Skyfire, hold down the Ninetales! Fire Spin! Ramphyros, take the Braixen! What's with the foxes...

-Skyfire spews out flames as she swoops down next to Brie, flames bouncing off the ground in wild arcs as they whirl around the Ninetales-

Ramphyros: <Eyes up, Sabrina!>

-she plunges from the air, launching a Dragon Pulse at the Braixen-

Asimov Island, somewhere private

Ever: Well. Alright.

-they frown slightly, and scoot over to curl up on Mezzo's shoulder-

So what are you going as? I'm not up to date on my games.

Luciana: "I'm not entirely sure either, so welcome to the club."

"Also it's really not that great I just get bossed around by a fox and have slightly better obscura powers after a transformation sequence."

Outside

Brynhilde is taking a walk around the island.

S Gloire: <Brynhilde. Tu vois?> -She nods her head towards a fleeing Daydre, a chasing Ama, and the two foxmons preventing Brie from following.-

Brynhilde nods. "En avant! Allons-y, Gloire!"

Brynhilde hops onto Gloire with the smoothness of a practiced cavalier, charging towards the two and attempting to just jump over the foxes. And Brie, but.

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Mezzo: Oh, it's nothing specific. I just saw this outfit and knew I had to have it. Ordered the thing from the Ferrum region, and boy was it expensive.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Skye: Right. I'm just gonna... send this to the roof to figure out later.

-She starts strapping it to the currently-remote-controlled Vulture wings, and sends it up and away to deal with later.-

-And then Kai — back in their Rogue getup — manifests and slings an arm around Skye's shoulders.-

Kai: Heya! The ol' Amarin charm sure worked us wonders, huh?

-Skye smirks.-

Skye: I can feel the alcohol radiating off of you.

Kai: Pssssh. I'm having fun.

Skye: Clearly!

Kai: Ye. Soooooo, how's it feel, miss first-place?

Skye: Honestly? I have no idea what to think of it. Do you have any idea what to do with big-ass chocolate sculptures?

Kai: I think rich people just have them to show off. I dunno. Show off, have fun, it's rad.

-They look around, and spot Pent.-

Kai: ...Hey. Hey Skye. Pent is being so adorable right now. We should go pester her.

Skye: Pfff. You and your old celebrity crush.

Kai: Excuse me, it's not a celebrity crush if we're both J-Teamers.

Skye: What, now you're saying you're a J-Teamer again? Gosh, so indecisive.

Kai: I'm genderfluid. I'm indecisive by nature. C'mon, let's go~

-They drag Skye over to talk to Pent.-

Kai: Hi~

Skye: Heyo.

---

Diane: I dunno! We just wanted an excuse to build giant metal wings and show off with them. What do you think we should do with the winnings?

---

-Scarlette chuckles as Lucius throws his arm around her.-

Scarlette: Hey, the magical girl thing looks good on a resume, at least. Or, well, so to speak. I feel like actually putting it on a literal resume would get you odd looks, but it's the idiomatic resume that counts, yeah?

Halloween Party

-A small smile crosses Liz's face, and her mood seems to lift slightly.-

Elizabeth: "Anything you need."

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Hypnosis

-Pent collapses in her chair again-

Adorable cosplayer socializing

-Pent waves a little bit as the two approach-

Hello. So this was... Good result yes.

-She smiles weakly-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

There's a spark in Silas's eyes as Diane admits to just wanting to build the wings, a large grin creeping across his face, Harold takes notice, "Silaaaas... what are you doing?"

"Diane, I got a job recently, you know the Arachna-Guy? I met him and I've offered to help him by building him a proper super suit, care to join me on that job? I just recently gave Shaun a new Obscura powered bow."

"Oh my god Silas, what are you doing?"

"Networking Harold."

Harold groaned, "And the rocket?"

"Oh that, I'd say eat it and share it with friends, it's chocolate, chocolate is good, and it has all 15 decks of the Odysseus Rocket itself, the Reactor and Boosters are filled with caramel and nougat, while it has little marshmallow Astronauts on every deck."

Silas shrugged, "But really, just building the wings just cause? Extra as hell, David was right."
