Bloody Mary (2/4)
Date: 2011-11-06 04:30 am (UTC)The roulette wheel area in the middle of the room had been cleared out, leaving only a low table that was filled with snacks complements of Lily, (“Grandma would love to make you some goodies for your party Jimmy! I'll even make them in the shape of bats!”), a little faux-fire that Veronica swiped from Gomorrah (“I promise to take it back before they miss it!”), and pillows from a spare room to sit on.
As her friends being to file into the room, Roxanna smiled widely at the usually boringly clad people now in costume. “I'm so glad you all came!” she squealed, adjusting the jacket of her jailhouse rocker outfit.
"Thank you for having us Jimmy!" the Nightkin yelled from under the bed sheet. Sure it was lame, but it was the only thing that they had that would fit her.
“Wouldn't have missed it for the world Roxy!” Veronica squealed just as loud. She seemed to be the only person truly happy to be there, most likely because it gave her a reason to wear the white glove society attire that Roxanna gave her a few weeks ago (something she kinda regretted now that her friend was wearing that creepy mask).
Boone shuffled past the two, the only thing different about his outfit being the dirty yellow construction hat taking the place of his beret. “Right,” he mumbled around the cookie.
“Don't sound too enthusiastic Boone,” Arcade smirked, fingering one of the larger buttons on the Boomer outfit that was serving as his costume.
The sniper shot him a look. “Shut up Gannon,” he said shoving more cookies in his mouth.
“Don't speak with your mouth full dearie, it's rude!” Lily chided.
Raul was the last to arrive, a wicked gleam in his milky eyes. “Now that we're all here,” he began, Vaquero costume making him look like a real cowboy, “we can get started.”
Roxanna looked around the room. “Wait a sec, Cass isn't here. Neither is ED-E.”
“Oh, they went out,” Arcade supplied quickly making the Courier look at him with an arched eyebrow.
“Right, they uhhh went out to go get...more bottles! You how Cass likes to make her own booze and such,” Veronica added, voice muffled by the mask.
“Boo, that whore!” the Courier sighed. “And seriously V, you really need to take that mask off. That shit is creepy.”
Everyone could just imagine the indignant look on the scribe's face. “Excuse me? This mask is classy, not creepy!”
“Speaking of creepy,” Arcade interjected, stopping the argument between the two ladies before it could start, “part of Halloween is telling ghost stories around the fire.”
“Oooo! Ghost stories!” the women said in unison, flopping down on the pillows. The doctor rolled his eyes, no longer astounded at the shortness of their attention spans.
“Don't tell anything too scary!” Lily interjected, “I don't want my Jimmy getting night terrors!”
“Of course not,” Raul laughed as we waited for everyone to settle around the 'campfire.' Once they were all seated he began, voice dropping down to a deeper, eerier register. “This is the tale of Bloody Mary. She was a woman born long ago. A pretty lady, who was the envy of the whole town. She married a rich and handsome banker and a few months later she conceived. People just knew that the couple's baby would be a beauty and we're not disappointed when she was born. Rosalie was the most beautiful baby that anyone in the town had ever seen, taking the best parts of both her mother and father. People became even more jealous of Mary after the birth of her daughter and one night when her husband was working late someone broke into their home and kidnapped little Rosalie. They searched and searched, but the child was never found and presumed dead. Mary sunk into a deep depression after that. Sick with grief she eventually killed herself by slitting her own throat.” He stopped then, looking around at each person ominously.
Bloody Mary (3/4)
Date: 2011-11-06 04:35 am (UTC)He rolled his milky eyes at her. “Let me finish Boss.” She nodded her head in concession. “Now, it is believed that her spirit still wonders this world, restless and hungering for the blood of those that took her child from her. It's said that if you say 'Bloody Mary, I killed your baby,' three times while looking in a mirror that she will appear-”
“That's more like it!”
“-and kill you a very horrific manner.”
“And now we've looped back to disturbing,” Arcade said, shivering a bit.
“I call bullshit,” Boone said deadpan.
“Language mister!”
“Of course you do,” Raul said, voice taking on the same tone.
“It can't be real, can it?” Veronica peeped, voice clear since she removed the mask. “I mean, like that's not possible... right?” Nobody responded. “Arcade! Make it go away with logic!”
“Well, I haven't read up on the supernatural and how it relates to the real world, but given what our dear Courier went through at the Madre...” he trailed off and shrugged.
A collective shudder passed through the group. Roxanna never went into detail about her time in the old casino, but the scars she came back sporting mixed with the few things she let slip were enough for her friends.
“So,” Boone started after a moment, “You gonna try it?”
The Courier looked up to find all eyes on her. “Oh no,” she shook her head hard, “I don't think so...”
“Oh come on Boss, surely you don't believe it's true,” the ghoul teased. She cocked an eyebrow at him, but said nothing.
Arcade widened his eyes in mock shock. “Roxanna Yearling, afraid? What is this madness? Do I smell a chicken?”
“Oink-oink-oink!”
All eyes were suddenly on the sniper who stopped his noises.
Roxanna cleared her throat to push back her laughter. “Uhhh Boone... chickens, they uhh, they cluck. I think you're making pig noises...”
The room fell quite before erupting into laughter. “Assholes,” he muttered.
“Language! Don't make me remind you again young man!”
“Look, you gonna do it or not?” he demanded, ignoring Lily's outburst.
Roxy shrugged. “I would, but there's no mirrors here so...” Thank God...
“Oh, don't worry about that.” Raul grinned as he pulled a hand mirror from somewhere on his person. “Here you go Boss.”
“Thanks a heap Tejada,” she sighed, eyes narrowed as she snatched the mirror from his decaying hand. They all stared at her expectantly, so taking a steeling breath she began.
“Bloody Mary, I killed your baby,” she mumbled, eyes locked on the mirror.
“A little louder Boss.”
She huffed. “Bloody Mary, I killed your baby,” she said with more volume.
“Oh Lord,” Veronica squealed, latching on to Arcade's arm.
Roxanna swallowed audibly, forcing her hand to stop trembling before uttering one last time: “Bloody Mary! I killed your baby!”
The room went deathly silent then, each person looking around in anticipation. Just as the tension reached its pinnacle the Courier let out a breath that she'd been holding the whole time. “Well guys,” she flipped the mirror around in her hand, “I guess she's not gonna sho-OH MY FUCKIN' GOD IT'S HER!” Her eyes locked on to the extra reflection staring into the mirror from behind her.
Roxanna spun around to find herself facing a woman in a blood soaked dressed and a hauntingly white face. “You killed mah baby?!” she whaled, voice extra loud and other-worldly.
“No I didn't!” She said shuffling back towards the fire, eyes never leaving the specter.
Bloody Mary took a step towards her. “Then what the hell did you say you did for?”
“No! It's all a misunderstanding! I swear! Please don't kill me Bloody Mary!”
“Ima fuck ya shit up kid!” The specter yelled before Roxanna hopped up and punched her right in the nose. She then began to beat on the woman, all the while mumbling “Not again! You motherfucker's are going to leave me alone!”
The room was a flood of motion then. Arcade was quick to sedate Lily who had figured out that whoever it was that her little Jimmy was giving the business to had a Stealth Boy on them. Raul and Boone both had to work together to restrain Roxanna, and Veronica helped the victim to her feet. All the while ED-E hovered there, beeping nervously while recording the whole thing.

Date: 2011-11-06 04:39 am (UTC)“Yeah,” Arcade mumbled. He really felt horrible about the whole thing.
The scribe fiddled with the mask in her hands, staring at her shoes. “We didn't think you'd react so violently.”
Cass scoffed as best she could with a dislocated nose. “That's for fuckin' sure.”
Boone uncomfortably shifted his weight from one foot to the other. “Sorry,” he said, actually sounding like he meant it.
“Yeah Boss, we're really sorry,” Raul sighed. ED-E adding its own apologetic beeps as well.
“Apology accepted I guess,” the Courier said after a moment. “But you do realize I have to make all of your lives a living hell now?”
The gleam in her eye had them all backing away slowly before taking off with Roxanna on their heels. Only Boone remained in the room with the drugged Nightkin. He looked after his companions with a raised eyebrow before exchanging the construction helmet for his beloved beret. Idiots, he thought, before crossing over to the snack table.
So yeah, there's that lol. Idk if this was exactly what you were looking for OP. I always celebrated like this (my mom was one of those people who didn't like the idea of her kid taking candy from stangers lol) and once I got older, me and my friends focused mostly on the 'trick' half of the holiday... thought now that I think about it, I kinda want to write something about the gang going trick-or-treating on the strip...
A bit of A!A fail...
