Happy Halloween (Partially Open)
Who: Reaper (no_reload), White Alice (wishforaneye) + anyone of the household that wants to join them
What: Halloween in December
When: Beginning of December
Where: Spare room at the Break residence in Darcmouth
Content Warnings: To be added. Alice is probably going to need them...
[It was probably a shame that Alice was so convincing. Reaper hadn't intended to be visible much in December, but her invitation had been tempting enough that he had given in without too much prompting. Honestly, he wasn't having a great time trying to sleep on rooftops now and again, especially with the gentle press of paranoia clinging to him when he was out trying to rest.
She had set them up in a spare room in the house that she was living in with a bunch of people from her world. There was a fireplace crackling merrily and warming the room. It was sparsely set up, which left it open for Reaper walking in and deciding right then and there that he was going to teach Alice how to build a proper blanket fort. It had been decades since he had made one for fun, which helped to liven up his mood once they grabbed supplies and got started on it. It helped that Alice was so gamely to try just about anything.
After that, he had let her set up the Omni with whatever movies that she had decided upon and he had brought up snacks and food that she was going to try. He had made classic churros like his madre made, sopapillas, conchas with dipping chocolate, dulche de leche and some American desserts as well such as shortbread, chocolates and other easily handled candy. He honestly was doing his best to see if Alice could become hyperactive from sugar; that would be entertaining.
After all the preparations were made, Reaper even went so far as to remove his armour and set it aside. Then he settled into their little fort and reclined with one knee resting over the other.]
What did you decide on watching tonight? Hopefully nothing too campy.

[He could still recall the Authority, and he was hoping that these little creatures wouldn't eventually become future iterations of them. Though, he would be fun and entertaining to avoid them again. He did so enjoy causing trouble now and again.]
And just whom are you stealing blood from to feed them, hmm?
[He was not at all put off by the idea. If that's what her little friends needed, then who was he to judge?]
We will have to see what the year ahead brings us, don't you think? [He might consider returning the Halloween favour to her.] You should, at some point, also be certain to celebrate Christmas. Most enjoy the gift giving and receiving part.

[Alice lifted her hand from petting briefly, and in turn got the little bat cat in her lap looking up at her quizzically. Only for paws to wrap around her wrist with a demand for pettings to continue.
Nope, seemed fine to her. Going back to petting, fingertips scritching carefully here and there.]
Mostly whatever beasts I happen across. Some of them hunt on their own and come back here. [Easy enough to get.
She perked a bit.] I think we should yes- and I don't think I've ever celebrated Christmas before, either. Never celebrated much of anything, really. All of this has been a first- and it's been quite wonderful.

[That was his first death in Deerington, and while it had been a worthwhile experiment, he wasn't looking for a repeat performance. The bat cats seemed to be quite different, felt different and they were currently much smaller than the Authority. Maybe they would shed their wings and grow into those assholes at some point. Not now, but in future.
He scritched the cheek and behind the ear on one of the cats in his lap, earning himself a purr and a bat as the little creature clearly wanted to play.]
They are cats, so I expect they can fend for themselves well. What sort of vessel to do you use to bring blood back?
[It seemed to him that there had been a distinct lack of celebration when it came to Alice. That was fine, since now she was free to celebrate whatever and however she wanted. There were no limits, right?]
Some favour the holiday much more than I do. You would do well to ask them their traditions. Most who celebrate enjoy talking about it.

[Alice didn't answer the question right away, instead she was observing what they had- ah ha. Tea was of course amongst the snacks as something to drink, and she watched the tea pot lift up, moving a hand as the tea inside was pulled out, remaining together in liquid blobs. Moving fingers as if drawing in the air, the tea following suit in to the little shapes drawn.
Yes, good.]
Usually I do this. Rather not stain any of our cups with blood, you know. I haven't found a suitable container yet, and so I've been making do like this until I can get it in to their bowls- some even like to chase after the blood like this. [They were having fun, keeping their instincts for hunting sharp- somewhat.
One made do with that they could and all that.]
Mm, I could. There's also the fun of making other traditions, taking an initial concept and making it more fun- or more tailored to your liking and those you like to spend time with. Right? [Given she was happy throwing Halloween in December, traditionalism wasn't something held on high outside of making something new to carry on it seemed.] Some traditions can be kept, while others may be better off broken and made new.
I do know this one is about giving and receiving gifts, at least. Christmas.
