Where: At Chloe’s house on Greene Street

Other Notes: Feel free to make this a mingle and reply to other characters!

Chloe had wondered whether to go through with the harvest party once Lalo had disappeared, but as they say, the show must go on. There's still a lot worth celebrating, and people need something hopeful after the mess last month. Luckily her house had made it through everything all right.

The poster had said to wear a costume, so she's hoping to see a lot of those, and she’d recruited some people to help her put together the menu exactly to Lalo’s specifications, so unfortunately no one is safe from British Potatoes. There are even candles for the birthday cake.

Chloe herself is dressed as a sexy lumberjack, with one of Lalo’s old flannels tied in a knot under her breasts and denim cutoffs made from the jeans Kostya had gotten blood on (shh). She's got a fire roaring, because otherwise she’d freeze.

Well obviously party supplies are first priority when you're evacuating.

Honestly I'm surprised how much clothing I've found around.

I guess the ones that left decided to pack light. Honestly, if I got the chance to leave this frozen hellhole, I wouldn't bother packing at all. Just grab Peacemaker and bounce.

[ She lifts her cup; pauses, head tilting like a bird. ]

Maybe also some of the booze.

[ And probably a few of the people. Whatever! ]

Nice to see people have managed to get into the Halloween spirit even here.

[Chloe winces - a friend of hers has just disappeared and she's been thinking about these things herself - but covers it with a sip of her own drink.]

I'm honestly impressed how many people have tried with the costumes! I kind of thought these people might be too cool for school.

[pacificator]

I'm surprised half of them even know what costumes are.

[ That's not actually true. She's surprised Little a. knows what a costume is and b. actually arrived in one, halfassed though it might be.

Her own might not be the best in the world, but it's at least recognizable. The two necklaces she's wearing keep getting caught in the crochet, though, and she tugs them free, the key and beads knocking gently against the gold ring she now wears on a thin chain. ]

Seems like people just needed a party... it's a pretty good turnout. Good job, hostess with the mostest. Between this and the vegetables, maybe we won't head into real winter with quite as much crushing depression as otherwise.

[Chloe isn't that surprised that Little wore a costume because Hickey had told her what a fastidious rule follower he is and it had said to on the poster.]

I've got to admit I'm also a bit surprised how many people brought skulls? Never seen that at a Halloween party before.

[She glances down at the little metallic sound, then back up at the other woman’s face.]

Huh. Do I need to add another theme to this little shindig?
