[Park - Deck 6, Front Ear] Halloween just so happened to be one of Thea's favourite holiday's and now that she had fully recovered from her surgery. She was raring to make the most of the celebrations whilst also overseeing all of the arrangements and preparations. In fact organising the party in the park had been just what she had needed to get back into the swing of things. The Doctor Captain wasn't used to spending so much time away from work but at the same time, it was done for a very good reason. Having already put on her costume from an old Earth movie Enchanted, Thea had arrived early in order to ensure that everything was ready. Those in charge of decorations had outdone themselves with every corner covered in spider webs, balloons, skeletons and everything spooky. There were tables covered in delicious buffet food, candy and drinks. All in keeping with theme, along with Divine Temptation getting ready for their performance. With the party coinciding with the once in a lifetime spectacle of the Klahuru comet, holo projectors had also been placed in strategic spots, showing a live feed of the comet's progress. The atmosphere felt electrifying and Thea hadn't felt this way in some time. So all that was left to do was await the arrival of their guests and for the spooky shenanigans to begin. Smiling to herself as the band began to play the first song, which for Thea was the perfect welcome. Halloween

[Lea & Riyo's Quarters - Civilian Decks] At first Leanna had been unsure as to whether she should attend the Halloween party or not, mainly due to being pregnant and throwing a slight fit over what she was going to wear. Her usual costumes were too small and when it came to Halloween she always went all out with what she wore. So once her hormones had calmed down and her fairy Godmother aka Jeffy had come to her rescue. Leanna was more or less back to normal and ready to enjoy the party before she ultimately got too tired. Usually when she got to 18 weeks she was almost half way through but this time around everything was different. Essentially it was nearly over and whilst she should be happy about it, the aches, pains and everything else wasn't exactly helping. Taking a deep breath and slipping on some sparkly yet comfy shoes, before adding a silver skull fascinator to her shorter hair. The Betazoid felt almost normal and more importantly happy with her outfit. Emerging from the bedroom, just in time to see Ari entertaining her brother with her witches outfit and broom. " I'm going to get you" she cackled as Aven dressed as a bat, squealed happily and shouted. " Boo"." Mama wow".

[T’Laara - Park]
Having spent most of her life on Earth, T’Laara was of course familiar with Halloween. It was an illogical event, maybe, but one that did provide a certain entertainment. And even if it was not her area of expertise, the viewing of the comet would be a potentially fascinating experience.
She also rarely declined an invitation.
When she entered the very familiar park, she was dressed appropriately for the occasion. She wore a long, torn, flowing white dress, her face dramatically painted to look dead.
(There was nothing to fear from the dead, and most Earth legends were just that… but those facts did not stop any of the other attendees, so it did not stop her, either.)
T’Laara made her way to the food table, making a careful selection, and looked around to see who else had already arrived.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Family Quarters]Riyo entered the room, dodging around Shadow whom was bouncing around in his targ costume. The doctor had decided to go with an outfit from an old crime-solving holonovel his roommate in the Academy had introduced him to. "Wow is right," he commented when he caught sight of Lea, pausing for a moment to appreciate her. "Are we ready to go?" Thankfully, they didn't need to worry about too much, since there would be food at the park and they would be just a short turbolift ride away from their quarters if they forgot anything. But the stroller, diaper bag and med kit were pretty standard requirements no matter how close or far they'd be going.

[Park - Deck 6, Front Ear] Seeing the park begin to fill up with guests was certainly a sight to behold and almost by instinct Thea found herself gently swaying to the beat of the band's song. Although it would likely be a little while before she made her way to the makeshift dancefloor, the CO decided to at least get herself a drink, after all this was a celebration and one to be enjoyed since they were off duty. Well not completely off duty if she was to get technical about it unless she wasn't on the station or the Mac. There was a moment of wonder as to how shore leave was going on Talor Prime, especially following the gut wrenching events of Arbrell's Ellipse. Thea may not of been present but she had heard and read the reports along with those pertaining to the return of one Calvin Perry. So whilst escorting Ambassador L'Sho back to his home world may not be the ideal location for some much deserved R & R, she hoped that time away would be beneficial for those involved. Thoughts aside, it didn't take Thea long to reach the refreshment tables serving both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages as well as more child friendly concoctions. As tempting as some of them were, Thea settled on a witches brew cocktail complete with smoking vapour, thanking the server before spotting T'Laara dressed as the undead. The detail was flawless not that she expected anything different from the Vulcan scientist, once she had ascertained that it was indeed her. " T'Laara I must say I love your costume" she said by way of greeting the civilian.

[Lea & Riyo's Quarters - Civilian Decks] With Aven now focused on the whirlwind that was Shadow the adorable Targ, Leanna smiled as Ari complimented her, before the Betazoid realised that Riyo had joined them. His own compliment as he agreed with Ari and the way he looked at her appreciatively was only superseded by what her Fiancé had chosen for his Halloween outfit. He had told her about the crime solving holo novels that he once participated in but actually getting to see the outfit was something else entirely. In fact it was very convincing as she let her imagination run at the thought of him being an old fashioned Detective, before looking a little guilty at doing so. Blaming it on recent a certain phase, Lea was quick to move on by responding to what both Ari and Riyo had said. " Thank you both, I know I was a pain when it came to finding something for the party but Jeffy to the rescue as always" she admitted as Riyo then asked if they were ready to go. " Yes" Ari declared excitedly, making Lea smile as she then answered Riyo. " I'm ready too.. we just need to get Shadow's leash and I think that's it".Organising was always key when it came to a family outing, something that was not only invaluable but also needed and would only get used more, once the twins arrived. With that in mind, Lea found Shadow's leash and attached it to his collar once she had managed to get him to stay still for long enough.

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Family Quarters]As Lea retrieved Shadow's leash, Riyo picked Aven up and got him settled in the waiting stroller. He didn't bother asking Ari to get in the stroller, knowing she was far too excited to sit still for the brief trip to the park. It wasn't long before they were passing through the doors of their destination, and Riyo slowed his pace so they could all take in the spooky decorations that surrounded them. They really had gone all-out for the occasion. It reminded him very much of a similar party he had attended at the Academy, which made his choice of costume feel even more appropriate.

[Lt. JG Syl O'Connell - Front Ear - Park]After everything they had experienced in the ellipse, and the emotional turmoil from leaving their counterparts behind, Syl was definitely looking forward to a fun night to forget about it all. Having undergone bone graft surgery on her arm days after their return to the station, the pilot hadn't been released to fly yet, so she missed out on the trip to Talor Prime. She didn't really mind though, as that just made sure she was available to attend this party with Eliska. When the other woman had met her at her quarters, Syl had instantly realized she should have been more specific when suggesting they dress as pirates. But the lack of Earth cultural references was part of what made the security officer endearing to her. She tried, and she looked good, and that was what mattered. As they entered the park hand in hand, Syl knew that they were about to reveal their relationship to the entire station. Even though they hadn't exactly been secretive about their affections in public, few of their crew mates - and none of their COs - had been around to see it. But if it had bothered her in the slightest, Syl wouldn't have agreed to make this a date.

Tag Eliska Bremmer When Syl had invited to join her as her date for a party, Eliska had fairly jumped for joy. Between the mess in the ellipse and everything else, it would be good to have a chance to blow off a little steam all right. And there was the not so minor thing that Syl had been the one to actually invite her to be out in public as a couple. Of course, neither of them felt any kind of shame about their relationship and neither had made a secret of it, but they hadn't exactly advertised it either. Well, there was no time like a party to do just that! But finding out it was a costumed party, that had been a bit of a surprise, and when Syl suggested they do themed costumes, and then pirates, Eliska couldn't help but just be willing to go along with it. Now, for a member of Security to dress up as some kind of scumbag was a little bit out there, but she had come up with something that should fit the bill all right after scouring entertainment databases... And it turned out that Syl had meant Old Earth pirates, the kind that had been on wind-powered ships something like eight hundred years ago... but they had shared a good laugh over it when she had arrived at Syl's quarters dressed as a female variant of the titular character of some holonovel about a space pirate named Harlock, complete with thoroughly outlandish sword and prop disruptor hanging from her hips. Though, when they arrived at the party, hand in hand, Eliska looked around, and grinned. "So, what usually happens at this kind of parties?"

[Park - Deck 6, Front Ear] For once Shadow didn't pull on his leash and instead followed behind Ariana, like a dutiful stead. Which Leanna was very grateful for, especially knowing how excited the puppy could get and as they reached the park, there was an eerie sort of calm. Slowing down as Riyo did, Leanna took a moment to appreciate the effort that had been put into turning the park into a spooky wonderland. In fact it put her own party organising skills to shame and the command team had certainly outdone themselves with putting all together. Festive and more, Leanna was equally as excitable as Ari and looked forward to exploring everything that the party had to offer. Realising that there was no way that she could of missed this and smiled as she heard the familiar sound of the band who were superbly dressed as skeletons. " Where should we go first?" Lea asked, before Ari answered first. " The .. the pumpkin patch or ooh the spooky games".That was no surprise given everything that was currently going on and Lea looked towards her Imzadi. " What do you think?".

[ T’Laara - Park] T’Laara looked up at the approach of Captain Thea Baker. She accepted the compliment in her way, also briefly noticing the human woman’s eye-catching dress. “Thank you. I selected it to fit the theme.”She picked up a bright orange drink as she considered the attempt to converse. “As the organizer of the event, what would you recommend doing to gain the most entertainment?”Thea Baker

[Park - Deck 6, Front Ear] " It fits the theme very well" Thea remarked graciously as T'Laara responded to her. It wasn't often that Thea got to socialise with the crew and the residents of Front Ear and another reason why it was so important to have occasions like this. Also Thea wanted to get to know people more, when she wouldn't normally have the chance to do so. Serenity didn't count thanks to what had happened there and yet if she hadn't of been injured then she wouldn't of known about her fertility issues. Rather than continue along that particular train of thought, Thea smiled as the scientist then asked for Thea's recommendations on what would give the most entertainment. Looking around at the various attractions, stalls and everything on offer, Thea caught sight of more arrivals including Lea, Riyo, the kids and a couple making themselves known for the first time, before answering T'Laara. " I would say the games, there's prizes to be won or perhaps the spooky trail where you have to find clues that will lead you to a much bigger reward" Thea replied, glad that she had included those when planning this event. That was something that she also wanted to try once she had greeted everyone and the party got into full swing.

[ T’Laara - Park] As more people arrived, she cast a glance over the other costumes. There had clearly been a lot of effort into organizing the party and setting up various activities, and such efforts did appear successful. “In that case, I think I will do the spooky trail,” she replied to the Captain’s recommendation. The idea behind it sounded vaguely like the holodeck programs she sometimes participated in. And, though she refrained from saying so, T’Laara thought she had a good chance of winning such a game. She also intended to watch the comet at the point when the view would be best. Thea Baker

[Lt. Paawin Riyo - Front Ear - Family Quarters]Riyo looked around at everything that had been organized, momentarily finding it difficult to choose. "How about we do the pumpkin patch first, then the spooky games?" By that point, they would be probably be hungry enough to stop off at the tables and they could decide what to do afterwards then.

[ Petty Officer T'Rae - Park - Front Ear] T'Rae did not understand human holidays at the best of times, but Halloween in particular puzzled her. Apparently, it had originated from superstitious belief in the occult and ward that were believed to be effective against such creatures. At point it become what she was witnessing now, she could not say for certain. She had long since given up on trying to understand humans and their customs, but nonetheless found participation in such frivolities to be a fascinating insight! Though she did not understand the reasoning behind the custom, she nonetheless enquired with one of her fellow engineers about the correct way to participate. That was how she had found herself dressed in a manner reminiscent of an earth house cat, black and complete with ears and tail. There was a curious saying on Earth. When in Rome... Arriving at the designated location, T'Rae sought out the company of those whom she knew to be familiar. It did no appear that any such person had arrived yet, but she did recognise a fellow vulcan in T'Laara. She was however, speaking with Captain Baker and so she chose not to interrupt and instead adjusted her secondary pair of pointed ears before helping herself to some punch that was on offer.
