Tree House Bananaram

[Seth Rivers]

Seth had been asked by Claude to grab pizza so he was a bit later than the rest showing up for the party. Not wanting to be asked at the local pizza joint about his clothing, Seth packed up a bag with the clothing and accessories that he needed to impress his friends when he arrived at the treehouse. Seth was having a hard time deciding what type of costume to wear so instead he decided to wear two. Pulling his truck up to the side of the road.he saw a few of his friends' vehicles were already parked nearby climbing out he slid on a pair of green scaly pants which had dinosaur feet attached to the bottom. On his top half he put on a chicken suit.

Picking up the stack of twelve pizza he made his way through the forest. He took his time not wanting to drop anything. It wasn't the easiest carrying so many pizzas with a pair of wings but eventually he made it to the clearing. From the looks of it he might have been the last one there. He walked right past what looked like V in a cape  who had bumped into Raf the merman.Then he could clearly see Tash who was looking sexy in leather and his eyes fell on Catcher he started busting out laughing. Finding a chair he placed the boxes of pizza down on one before he lost it completely. " Dude, I wish I could have been here when you arrived. Did you lose a bet with Cloud or something?"

With his hand free he was able to look at everyone's costume clearly and was happy with his decision to forgo the playboy bunny outfit. Seth's eyes fell on Feather; she had put a lot of effort into her costume choice. She looks like a gorgeous Nordic princess and Claude was a giant banana in a cowboy hat of course. The most unimaginative was Cloud but for a party in the woods he had a fun idea it reminded him of the first victim of a classic horror movie."So are you waiting on me or have you already gotten into the bananas?" Seth placed his feathery wing on his hip. Now who brought the booze?:

[Claudius Galloway]

Claude didn't know they were worried about the banana. Everyone knows bananas disappear at midnight or trees in the morning. He didn't remember that fact clearly enough. " Well I hope you're right Ronaldo, I would lay down and pretend to be dead for twelve days,If something bad ever happen to you, my favorite colour friend." Claude rubbed Catcher’s head smashing some mushy banana into his hair." I want to be kidnapped." He laughed. " Then I can find the rest of the family." He had been on a Bigfoot kick since he came to Washington and it wasn't going to stop anytime soon. It had super tall old trees, great for hiding. Hearing Cloud mentioned his girlfriend was real, Claude begdin to laugh out of control. "Ronaldo is not your girlfriend, he's not really a unicorn. Cottonball if you never fine me a real one I'd pay you for it."

Claude was happy that all these guests were showing up at his party but they had to be careful because Raf was human and Claude had not mentioned he was a vampire or that his friends were all shapeshifters. " Okay, Marshmallow will get the banana vitamins out in a second and Dinoduck thanks for the pizza but didn't bring your own supplies. " Claude shrugged. He knew he brought enough for everyone earlier but he was just joking with him. He loved to play jokes on his friend. He knew they loved it and that was why they fed him conspiracy theories.

His eyes fell onto his murman friend and he pulled his body in closer to everyone else. "Aquaman over there doesn't know what we are so you can't talk about being cats and dogs." Mentioning dogs Claude forgot to let blue out of the tree house. The little angry chihuahua came out wearing a Taco costume. The little psychopath started spinning in circles trying to take it off but Claude just ignored his antics.

He looked over to see a little red riding hood standing near the big lug. Claude had wondered why Raf had come but being new to town and newly single he was probably ready for a good time. " Do I spy a Mr. Wolfe trying to keep a little red to himself?"

[Rafael Wolfe]

Raf didn't know what was happening, as soon as he stopped by the edge of the clearing to talk to Claude he was bummed into by someone wearing a burgundy colour cape. He herd an audible fuck and sorry come out if her mouth, looking down slightly he had notice it was Veronica. She hadnt been paying attention and she slammed into his hard muscular chest. She had stolen his heart from the first moment he saw her at the club. He hoped he see her around town again, and he eventually did at the beach, that night when he saw her he didn't want ruin her fun so he just wrote down his number and waited for a call. That call never came.

Seeing her standing in front of him he placed his large hand on her lower back "Dont apologize, I barely felt a thing,your ok thought right beautiful?" He didn't have a chance to talk to her before Claude was calling him Mr.Wolfe, and she Little Red. Was the incident that noticed by eveyone around or did Claude just wanted to embarrass him. Stepping out of her way he gestured her to walk forward.

Looking around he could see that Claude was friend's with a strange group of people, they all had been a talking about wolves, vampires and Shape shifting they must have been Larping group or something, their costumes didn't have a theme so he thought maybe he was just to narrow minded to understand. Stepping closer to Veronica agai he whispered in her ear. " Now what kind of party is this suppose to be?"

[Feather Crestfall]

Feather felt weird trying to toy with Catcher, Tash asked her to, it was more to see what sort of reaction she could get out of him. Not getting much if one she decided just to give up. She couldn’t even get the game started. She knew Catcher cared about Tash that's why she mentioned to him not to worry. Feather wasn't a tease and wouldn't play with someone's emotions for the fun of it. Maybe it was a test that Tash wanted to see if he could pass?

Feather smiled and played with one of her necklaces rubbing her fingers around the bones and teeth. She always played with her necklaces. It calmed her anxieties. She was glad to hear that someone appreciated her costume and had a feeling it would be Catcher. She had felt a connection with him like they both shared the same interest in the spiritual world,though she hadn't discussed it with him yet. "Thank you. I think it all came together pretty good. You're not dressed up like I expected." She had expected him to take the Cloud route but this costume was fire.

Startled when Claude landed down in front of them, Feather covered her nose, how the others were getting tolerant of his smell confounded her. Even with all the bananas around he still smelt bad. There was no way she was able to hide her reaction. She just stood watching Catcher converse with Claude. The vampire was such a character, he was like a curious little child in a grown man's body. It was nice to see even some vampires kept a child-like wonder even if it was over a mythical creature that probably had ever and would never exist. She decided to play along a bit."Of course I will protect you, Bigfoot is afraid of witches." She finally removed her hand from her face and laughed at the thought of some big hairy man creature trying to carry Catcher off and her stopping it. She knew it would never happen but giving Claude that thought would give him more to add to his research notes.

She looked down from the balcony to see Tash and tripped and fell on Cloud, Feather knew boots were a bad idea, that is why she chose to be barefoot, she was always more graceful when she could feel the ground below her feet. It also made her feel more connected to the land just feeling the dirt beauty her toes allowed her to pick up the energy in this place. She watched as Tash scrambled off of her twin and hardly realized Catcher was touching the crystals on her head piece. "He's probably right, who wouldn't want a girl all dressed in leather?" Most men, assuming Bigfoot was a man, would probably find her attractive too. She was a little pixie compared to herself, Feather was five foot nine she tower over Tash.

Cloud soon joined in the conversation too chiming in, calling Catcher his girlfriend. "I think it's too late to make him your girlfriend, you probably have to fight Tash him first." Claude open the door to the tree house and a spinning Taco came out. Not wanting to be so close to the little devil dog she hopped down holding her skirt landing on the ground with a gentle thud near Seth who had just brought the pizzas. She turned her head to see a merman and Veronica in a hooded red cape. She knew that Raf liked Veronica but wasn't sure if they would be a good couple or not. His energy was so intense and hers was more subdued. Hearing Claude mention Raf didn't know that they were shapeshifters it made Feather scrunch up her face oddly. She couldn't understand why he would invite Raf if they couldn't openly talk all night long. "I'll behave I promise"

[Natasha Black]

Tash was impressed by Cather's comment to dressing up like a unicorn, she had only suggested it knowing that it would look amazing no matter how he dressed. Him being a unicorn wouldn't only impress Claude but all the talk of unicorns in the mass text had gotten her mind on it. Hearing Catch noticing how she looked made her happy she had only decided to wear such a get up for him, before recently she would never have considered showing so much skin. "I think I'll be fine Pegasus, but you can protect me if you want"

She twisted a strand of her hair as she looked up at Catcher. She cared about him greatly but knew she never fully committed herself to him,if she did he'd be her weaknesses, she didn't want to tie him down just break him when she left. After the summer changes were coming and she was just enjoying the time she had right now living in the moment. She loved him in some odd way she didn't want to break his soul, she knew how that felt was some of the worst pain possible. She wouldn't hold on to him too firmly, that is why she wanted Fether to play this little game with her just to show Catcher she wasn't mad if he wanted to be with anyone else she would be ok.

Tash could smell the pizza coming before she even saw Seth, his costume was fun and an inventive Claude would appreciate it greatly half chicken half dinosaur, she would have never thought it up. " Nice costume Seth, decided not to dress sexy this time ?"She watched as he placed the pizza down but her mind drifted away from here for a second. She barely heard Cloud mention the banana pills, were they some creation to make them all go crazy. She was not sure if she would participate only if Catcher wanted to she indulge."I'm game if you are pony boy."

Near the edge of the clearing she finally noticed the big hunk of muscle standing there shirtless with Veronica so close to him he could easily scoop her up and bring her back to the ocean or something. She heard Claude mention for them to be cautious of their words and Tash just nodded. Her eyes still locked on Veronica to see how she would play this little interaction out. She would jump to the rescue if needed.

[Cloud Crestfall]

”What’re you talking about, I’d be perfect. Besides we already hang out enough that I know you like me.” Cloud faked offense and dismissal as he was astounded by Feather’s supporting comment that he would have to fight Natasha; that girl did not make sense dating his friend. He was so certain that was not what she wanted, he just raised an eyebrow at his sister in complete skepticism, ignoring what she said. Despite Catcher having asked him to figure out if Feather had any noticeable change or indication of positive and negative opinions of him, Cloud had no clue because it was too difficult to tell. He couldn't discern his own sister's mysterious ways so he wasn't even going to try with the naughty pixie. The best part of it all was that Claude was hysterical and Catcher was getting tiny bits of banana mashed into his perfect hair as the vampire touched him without realizing what was on his hand. ”I’ll use him as bait to find a real one… free, just to see it think he's a potential mate. Maybe even Bigfoot will show.” Not missing a second, he mouthed to Catcher in silence that he was 'so pretty' and snorted, trying to brace himself for a potential punch; there was something about reminding him his looks overtook his personality to the common person. It was probably a curse to be a beautiful man of a demure countenance; Cloud had seen when men think he has it easy and women think he's all the things he wasn't. 

Having brushed off Catcher’s unfounded statement that he’d be a terrible boyfriend, he pretended to have been stabbed in the chest. As he was horsing around, he noted what Claude said about their secret but was quick to notice the harsh swear words uttered by none other than ‘Hula girl’. 

His mouth formed a large O. His eyes squinted into thin lines as he burst out cackling at her misstep into the massive muscle guy in merman leggings. When Rafael had arrived, he had not been paying attention; he still hadn’t placed a voice to the man. Now Veronica had made such a grand entrance of it all that he could only stop laughing by covering his hands with his mouth and shaking as he walked toward Seth’s pile of pizza down the stairs. As he passed the man he dubbed ‘beach man’ from the story he had heard through Catcher, he shifted like there was no space and then gave Veronica a glinting, smirk as if to say she was in store for some other level cheesiness. They would all watch this as the night’s entertainment much to her misfortune;' if he hadn't come down past the human shield, he wouldn't have been able to see Veronica's roguish red riding hood costume. Amazingly, he began to understand why Catcher was in love with her for so long then he thought, it was probably just the red and went back to wondering how she didn't love his friend back if she knew about it. Women in this town were mostly from a whole other planet to him, having something really fucked up like a love aversion disease, but also not putting out and he thanked his weed gods for blessing him from suffering. 

”I’m so glad you brought food man…” Reaching out a hand, he high- fived Seth for his excellent idea. There was enough for everyone and his unending appetite that was fueled by the munchies. Not to mention, he knew of no one who didn't like pizza. Every flavour was sublime. There were no tables yet below the treehouse and everyone was up the stairs aside from the corniest couple in the world so he picked up half the stack of boxes to help Seth, not really caring if the rest were going to stay on that chair; he could eat everything and they could come down there if they wanted. Of course if there wasn't enough, he would just go get more, he would overcome any form of laziness for food. Holding the boxes and adjusting them as he supported the top tray with his chin for a moment, he heard the question about losing a bet and cut in. ”I don’t know who he lost a bet to but it wasn’t me this time. I’ve gotta start making bets for him to be in costume from now on.”

Making his way back to the end of the steps where the awkward wannabe Romeo stood, he turned back to Seth and noticed his costume properly for the first time since his arrival; it had been covered by the boxes. ”Dinosaur Chicken… Duck!? Cool.” Exclaiming the first part with surprise, he added the last word with a smug nod and his indoor voice. Natasha soon indicated Seth would have worn a sexy costume and he had no imagination for it; all he could recollect was the drag outfit the guy had worn to impersonate his sister. It made Cloud think there would be a lot of fun to hang out with Seth with just the guys to see what he was made of. ”Of course he is game.” More often than not, he would decide for Catcher and it proved he was both a good influence and a bad one but he couldn’t help it; he always had to get the party started or else he was wasting his Adderall and getting no outlet for energy. Whatever Natasha chose to do was her decision but she had better be prepared for the banana pills to hit like the night of prom for her. There was always some sort of compromise and he was rarely disappointed; playing all hands against his friend’s conviction.

Upstairs once more, Cloud went straight to the table on the balcony they were all standing and plopped the pizza boxes down. They were warm, hot on the base and he could tell Seth had gotten them fresh from the store; he couldn’t resist opening one and pointing with both hands at the delicious smelling pizza to entice everyone to eat and give himself permission. His fingers were like little pistols, moving as he looked back at the little group around Claude.

[Catcher Reeves]

Seriously, he wanted to ask Feather what she had thought his costume was supposed to be if it wasn’t what she expected but he was cut off as she joked with Claude. His lips suppressed a proud grin that now Claude would start obsessing about witches being the mystical nemesis of Sasquatch. Glimpsing the pendant and bones she was fiddling with on her necklace, he wondered what they were made of, or rather what animal part it was. There was something funny she was refraining from laughing at and he started to question if it had anything to do with Bigfoot coming to abduct him; that would be ridiculous unless it really was bigger than Xion.

The way he was noticing her was alien to him, this was only the second time they had met and he tried to not be so obviously intrigued. When she supported his answer to Natasha, he looked at the railing where his hands had been and just smiled to himself; it helped because he was having trouble understanding how to behave with Natasha while she was hot and cold, dressed like a temptress.

Natasha's voice sounded excited about his costume and it made him almost as happy as he had been when Claude lit up; it was just different because he usually wanted her to like him for being whatever way he was, every way even yet it was the unicorn. Chaos was within him, thinking about her inevitably leaving to start college and realizing he needed to devolve his feelings to nothing more than what it had been before she started flirting, Catcher debated telling her he was going to transfer to a military academy. It was strange that he felt far away and unable to choose as all of him might want all of her; his misconceptions, mistakes and depression were making him question what he came back for. This future was penance for his parents, an attempt for change; a last escape of the moral kind, they would lose touch as he was an extremist and part of him willed it. The same paradigm shift could happen again as long as he went to disciplinary school. He didn’t want to see her end up with someone who didn’t deserve her, someone in her college life that he would certainly hate; it would be worse than waiting for her to get over Quil. She would never choose him even without the love of her life in the picture, but maybe some low life. It would start a war, a suicidal dream and breaks with months in between was the only way he'd get over her and he looked forward to that interaction when he'd visit her. He didn't see himself straying far but didn't see himself staying to fall apart either.”I should’ve worn wings.” Ever the actor, he diverted and beamed at her in a gallant smile, answering her without answering her.

Seth had championed their meal cause and he was appreciative, also a mindless hungry person for pizza. There was nothing he could say about Seth’s other sexy costumes, he embraced it but it gave him anxiety to be as liberated. The ‘dinoduck’ outfit was something both ‘Seth-like’ and ‘un Seth-like’, he couldn’t tell if his friend had passed out half-dressed and worn the wrong top or decided one side was more flattering than the other; it was one for the memories. ”I didn’t lose a bet…”His words were overlapped by Cloud and he just shut up, trusting Seth to know he didn’t lose bets and Cloud was not good with them.

Soon, Feather jumped off the ledge and went to Seth and he just watched her dress flow before thinking about the pizzas, the aroma wafting up. Cloud could smell it too and he was probably hiding a belly grumble because in a matter of minutes, he went downstairs, deliberately brushing past who had just shown up to get the pizzas and bring them back. He was actually relieved his friend left his side after all that talk about unicorn baiting and girlfriends, he expected the retort to be exactly what it was but the pretty part, he wanted to hit him for. Sometimes he did, sometimes he didn’t to keep Cloud on his toes and learn not to be so provocative. The man had a way of speaking though, and much to his chagrin, he was now lined up for banana pills. Claude had mentioned he wanted to be kidnapped and Catcher did not bat an eyelid; he was the only one who recognized that in the end, he was a vampire, he was a danger not even Big foot could handle. ”I’m not taking many banana pills tonight Tash, you can try them but I don’t know… whatever else Claude has will mix and you know how that goes.” This was new Natasha he had trouble predicting so he just gave her the disclaimer, not wanting to remind her of what actually happened the last hangover but also needing her to know once she took them, whatever she did was for life.

Who had just arrived, shocked him; it was the man in the text chat who was hitting on Veronica in ways that just shot himself in the foot. Knowing Veronica made him quite confident there was nothing to develop there, merman might be her type but from the night at the beach, he was somewhat safe and he sighed quietly, aware that he should not care but giving himself one more cheat day. Every day was a cheat day when it came to Veronica ever since she appeared; she gradually embedded herself in his soul and he would let it until he could ultimately learn they ended forever. Perhaps that was Natasha too. As his eyes traced the man, he started getting a faint memory of someone who looked a lot like him and it made his heart race; the revelation an emotional one. Rafael was Candi’s ex-boyfriend, the exotic dancer at the club after prom night who they had thought he married; it was all because of this man.

The icing to this was Claude’s hand, smelling of bananas that he hung, smashing some bits of the fruit into his hair. He was trying to dodge the rub, pulling on a strand that was gunk and his eyes went to the side, disallowed to roll because he knew Claude didn’t mean it. ”I wouldn’t want you to lay dead for twelve days. There’s banana in your hand Claude.” He chuckled lightly, placing a hand on Claude’s shoulder as he rounded him to the inside of the tree house where a standalone sink was, turning it on and scooping water onto the sticky section. The tiny death trap of a dog rushed out past him through the door as he was let out and Catcher was slightly relieved, he never understood how to communicate with it and just avoided the purse pooch’s wrath because the maniac didn’t deem him a threat somehow. It might have had something to do with liking animals, he had persuaded himself to believe Claude’s pet wasn’t senseless. Water was still running on his hair as he eyed it from the side of the sink, circling like a whirlpool in its taco costume.

He had gotten the memo that there was a human who was uninformed about their identities and the secret was safe with him. Coming up again, Cloud had brought half the pizzas back here because of the table; he knew it was also because his friend could eat all of that by himself and it was like a jackal stealing a stash. Catcher turned off the tap and strolled over, squeezing the clump of hair that was slick and letting it be the only part dangling so the headband along with the rest of his hair wouldn’t get wet.”Cloud just eat. Claude you should too…” Deciding, he saw what tasty goodness awaited and picked up a slice to eat, slowly chewing it as he stood, as idle as one of Claude's decorative bananas.

[Veronica Call]

Veronica was in her own Lala land that she didn’t see Seth walk pass her with carrying pizza. He was in mixture of chicken and dinosaur; leave it to Seth to get that creative with the costume. She snapped out of her own world to see everyone. Merman was none other than Rafael, he was getting on her last nerves with cheesy lines and she hated it. She rather skin herself alive or pull out her eyeballs; it was less torture for her than to sit there and listen or read those cheesy lines. Veronica groaned and looked around to see where she could bang her head, it was a freaking treehouse and only way out was to either turn around and leave or jump out of the tree house, phase and run as fast as she could. For a second she thought about leaving or murdering herself but she remembered she was there for Claude. Speaking of Claude, his psychotic dog came out out of no where wearing a taco. It was cute but that devil dog was going to kill everyone including Claude. And she wasn’t going to be around when that day will come.

She rolled her eyes as Claude’s comment about Mr. Wolfe trying to keep little red to himself. The floor looks very inviting to bang my head on. Veronica was over it and needed to bang her head on something. Beautiful? Why is this man flirting with me when Natasha and Feather are far more beautiful than I am? She fixed her dress and walked past Rafael, shaking her head knowing it’s going to be a long night of torture and she was too sober for this and forgot her knife. ”It’s a satanic cult sex party or Pin the tail on a human.” She looked at him and smiled before walking away from him. Veronica was not going to stand around to see his reaction when smell of pizza was welcoming her.

Veronica made a bee line towards pizza but stoped when she saw unicorn outfit and laughed. She gave Catcher a hug and whispered, ”You look very sexy in this getup.” She pulled away and winked at him before walking couple steps towards pizza boxes. She opened one, relieved it was cheese pie and picked up a slice. Water filled her mouth when smell hit her and did a slight happy dance. This was her heaven, cheese pizza when it’s warm and gooey. She took a bite and groaned lightly, it was better than sex and very groan worthy. Veronica chewed slowly, opened her eyes and fell on tatted man with knife through his head; Cloud. She finished her slice of pizza, wiped her mouth and looked at Cloud. ”I wish that knife in your head was real.” Evil ideas came in her mind; mostly wondering why the hell knife was involving every thoughts she had. She looked around the room and saw Feather looking gorgeous in her outfit and Natasha looked like something came out of comic book, all leather with a whip. Veronica slightly smirked when she realized she doesn’t need anything but a whip, maybe borrow it from Natasha.

[Rafael Wolfe]

Raf's eyes opened wide as a response to his question, he looked towards the way he just came in wondering if he should escape the party before some weird shit went down. Instead he just shrugged it off and stood by a tree. Folding his arms across his muscular chest.Most of the guys here didn't have anything on his size so if they messed with him so he could handle it.

There was a variety of costume types, his eyes fell upon the little leather dominatrix. Her hair was cropped short and dyed blonde but he recognized her face as Veronica's friends from the club. So all four of them were here, the drag queen must be the one in the suite. Did Claude just collect people from work to be his friends, sort of weird who is he to judge. There were two here he didn't recognize but he wasn't going to intrude in any conversations. Walking over to the tree house he climbed up to speak with Claude. He smacked him lightly on the back. "If this things is some type of sex cult of you fantasies I'm never talking to you again." He walked away quickly and picked up a slice of pizza. The cheese fell into his beard and he started picking pieces of it out not wanting to look sloppy. Mouth half full walked over to the cooler and pulled out a beer popping the top off and drinking a bunch down in a gulp. He need it to get through the night. The only reason he was there was to see Veronica again anyway.

[Seth Rivers]

Seth felt like the hero of the evening when it came to shape shifter parties. The one who brought the food always got the most praise. "No Tash I didn't dress sexy this time, don't think I need to I think you brought enough sex for the rest of us."The last time he had dressed up he was in full drag, he was going to use his sister's driver license to buy some alcoholic beverages for all of his friends to drink. None of them were old enough to purchase anything but Veronica bit at the time of the night she wasn't going to buy anything for them. He had to admit he did make a good looking woman, with just a little more practice he'd probably be unrecognizable.

Seth raised his hand to meet Clouds in a high five. He had been around Cloud a few times now and they seemed to get along well. They bonded over the fact they were both shifters who had sisters to take care of. Seth hadn't had to worry about Leah much anymore but he had Veronica and Natasha to watch out for. He sometimes hated how caring he could be more worried about what others thought than himself. He was very easy going and didn't let much affect him too deeply." Don't thank me, I'm just the delivery boy. Claude paid for it all. There's even a vegan one on the bottom for your sister." He had learned bits and pieces about Feather from the others not really spending much time with her alone. They twins were pretty opposite but they were almost like two halves of one person. She was like Feather drifting on a breeze just enjoying where the winds of life took her. Cloud was more of the one who left a mark wherever he went, wanting his music to influence the masses. He has to spend more time with them.

"Well, a lost bet or not I've never seen him like this before. It has Tash written all over it." Tash was more glitter and rainbows,or she used to be. He knew she must have influenced this knowing for the text she had spent the morning with Catcher. He was going to question it any further. "I'm actually just a tyrannosaurus chicken. Nothing too creative. I just don't like the typical costumes." Seth let his eyes drift up into the treetops. It was a bit of an overkill with all the bananas hanging from the trees but Claude would always overdue everything.

He listens to Claude mentioning he should have brought his own booze but already he knew Claude would be joking. He had provided the pizza and he wouldn't throw a party without being prepared. The part that got him about this evening was why would Claude invite the human. Sure Raf was sending signals about liking V but being in the woods surrounded by shifters at a party hosted by a vampire isn't really the smartest idea. If something went wrong Claude would be the one to blame. Moving the pizza around Seth took the one from the bottom and handed it to Feather. "This one is specifically for you, all animal products are free." He patted Feather on the back and flopped down in a chair with a box of pizza on his lap.

[Natasha Black]

She laughed slightly when Catcher mentioned he was not going to be taking many banana pills, it might be because he wanted to be more responsible or the Claude experimental pills might cause some people to be a little wild, but just one or two shouldn't hurt, besides there were enough people to look after her. If not one of the boys, Tash knew Feather was not one to participate in drugs; she could always help get her home. She looked at Catcher and smiled "I'll be as responsible but if I'm not you could always handcuff us together" it wouldn't be the worse thing in the world to be cuffed to Catcher all evening the more time she spend aroud him the more she could see them developing some soet of future together. Shepulled a pair of handcuffs out of the top of her little leather dress and laughed. They were made of metal but they were just a novelty set but she thought they added a little fun touch to her costume. Tucking the back down her dress giggling Tash walked over to the stack of pizza and pulled a slice of cheese and to a bite. She was a little hungry and she knew if be best to eat something before the night possibly turned into one more wild then she imagined.


She walked over to Raf and Claude her cheeks a little pink from her boldness with Catcher. She liked him, it wouldn’t She be hard for anyone to see.
The whole getup was to impress Catcher but the weird awkward accident with Cloud made her almost feel she had ho over rhe top with her outfit choice for the evening. Someone who didn't was Raf. The man wasn't her type but he did fill out his costume well. "It's good to see that you came, I love your costume. It wouldn't have been my first choice but sexy merman sort of works for you." She tapped him on butt lightly and laughed. She wasn't lying, he did look good shirtless and in his tight mermaid patterned pants. The first time she had remembered seeing the man was on the beach, dripping wet from a swim. He was like one of those fictional characters from a cheesy romance novel. The one the main character wanted to wrap her legs round and kiss passionately. He was what exactly Veronica needed, a guy like this to help her forget all the sadness in her past. If she was occupied with Raf then maybe Catcher would notice her more.



She took another bite of her pizza leaving the merman and Claude where they were to go to join Feather and Seth. Ever since she had met the silver hair woman she had become more of a confidant to her. Being the one she had told about her changing feeling for Catcher. Seth had seen her throwing herself at him on the beach but the night she had been full of so many new and old mixed emotions. She didn't know how to get what she had been feeling straight. The only thing that seem to help sort her thoughts in her brain where the late night hang outs at Catcher’s house. The more time she spend around him the more she didn't want to go home. The only thing that made her was the possible run in with Candi. The last thing she wanted was to turn his house into a war zone, Catcher didn't deserve that.

As she stood by the two s her boots kept sinking and getting stuck in the soil so she slipped them off and tossed them under a tree. Sure they were fun but she couldn't barely walk in the four inch death traps, the boots didn't make the outfit anyway. Throwing her arms around Seth she gave a hug and adjusted his chicken head so she could see his face more clearly." Do you know what the best thing about tonight is going to be? I going to make Catch forget at about Veronica and Candi."She winked at Seth playfully knowing all to well with a little substance intervention she might be more confident.

[Claudius Galloway]

As the last of his guests arrived he knew it would be time to break out the banana pills soon. After that the party would get crazy and he didn't know how he would handle everyone all hopping up on his newest experimental concoction. There was so much going on around already that he was having problems processing so much. It was the fact that Bigfoot was scared of witches, almost spooked him a bit but it did make sense. A witch would be one of the most unpredictable things for a Bigfoot to encounter so it would make perfect logic for the big hairy beast to be afraid of one. Pulling out this notebook he wrote down the little so only he could wad it later. Feather kept holding her nose while he was around but Claude didn't take offense to the woman, she didn't even eat it meat so it made all the sense she was put off by his vampire perfume. He knew everyone would be fine in a while, even the lion girl. He didn't know her too well but she seemed okay but if she was a witch as her costume suggested he had so many young questions for the silvered hair lady.

There were so many observations that he didn't even care if forgot to write down things in his book tonight. Just by watching how everyone interacted he could start to piece together who his greatest subjects may be. As he could already see, there might have been something going on between Sparkles and Puffball. The girl practically choked him for a second before climbing all over him, like a tree, but at the same time she seemed to be the inspiration behind Ronaldo's costume. When the Catcher mentioned he had bananas on his hand Claude lifted his finger to his face and inspected them for a second then whipped them on the wooden bark of one of the trees that supported the structure. " I wouldn't actually be able to lay down dead, honestly after a day I'd probably be so bored I would try to count how many freckles an ant has." Claude may have been a vampire who had been living soIme weird half life for years but one thing he still could not was even stand still for long. He always was watching, he even watched his friends sleep when he needed something to do when then tucked in for the night. Some would find it creepy where others never told him that did it at all.

When Raf arrived around the same time as Queenie he was very intrigued. He knew his friend had a thing for the dark haired wolf girl. She didn't seem to be receptive to his advances. It was stamfe to him because so many times he had seen women all over guys like his buddy. Ladies loved the big muscular men type. He listens as the big guy tries to smoothly that her apology it into something more positive but she could accept that telling him him that it was some sex party or pin the tail on the human. Was she crazy? If she said the wrong thing they might all be in danger. Hearing Catcher said he should eat, he nodded. He wouldn't actually be able to eat any of the pizza but he would pretend and throw whatever pieces he pretends to deep in the woods after smearing some sauce on his face. He leaned against the railing as Raf came up to the tree house. It made Claude begin to wonder how many men would this structure actually hold. He felt a pat on the back and Raf asking if it was a fantasy sex cult.

As he looked around at most of the costumes he could see why the big guy would have thought so. Most of this girls were dressed hot, even Ronaldo looked like something from a weird sex fantasy someone might have. He walked over past the pizza and shook his head at Raf." Nort a sex party but it could be a rave." He picked up the bag of banana pills and opened them up, popping one into Raf's mouth after he took a drink of his beer." That should lighten the mood for you a bit. It will take about twenty minute." Claude grabbed a few pills and shoved them in his pocket. Before heading down the latter to offer them to the others. " Licorice Sprinkles! Here are some banana blasters." He took two pills and dropped them into the blonde dominatrix hand. He didn't know how many pills the wolves would need but he started her off with two. Looking around at the others he reached into pocket and held a bunch out looking to see if anyone else wanted some.
