[MINGLE] Saints & Sinners Masquerade

WHERE: Corn field next to the inn
WHEN: 31 October, all day and night
OPEN TO: ALL - MINGLE
WARNINGS: Please warn as appropriate in your subject lines
NOTES: Please make sure you have read and understand the event details! If you have questions, drop them here. RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED: Put your SCRUBS COLOR in your OTA subject line for folks doing bingo. Time your OTA for the harvest feast, the masquerade, or both. Costume matches and details for folks who did not get matched are here.

This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.

You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.

In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.

Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

"I didn't know you were into this kind of thing." It was half-hilarious and half-disturbing the amount of leg and leg hair that he was seeing, but since the other man seemed to be owning it, Ty could only shake his head with a grin.

"Should I be worried about how comfortable you look in such a short skirt?" The strutting definitely hadn't been missed after all.

"I don't remember you asking me about what I'm into at all," he points out, he says with a jut of his hip and a twirl which only made the tulle of the skirt lift with the motion. "Which I figure that is definitely your loss.

"And please. I have been through too much to be insecure in my masculinity. Glad you've liked the view though. How long were you watching, Kid?"

Ty barked out a laugh at that, covering his face, half in embarrassment and half because he wasn't sure he was going to be able to handle so much raw masculinity in his inebriated state.

"Clearly that was an oversight on my part. I should have forgone the deep philosophical talks and asked about your kinks, though now I'm afraid to ask." He peered out through his fingers, shaking his head slightly. "I can always appreciate a guy who is confident in himself, but before you start flattering yourself, it wasn't that long."

But you know, he had still been watching. But in his defense, he was mostly used to Bobo's mountain man look. To know he was comfortable in this sort of outfit too was a bit shocking but also amazing.

"You should only be afraid to ask if you're planning on exploring them," he notes, smirking at Ty. All they've talked about and flirting with him is not something Bobo is going to let bother him. "And given you've had more chances than most here to hit on me, I doubt you're going to start now," he notes, not the least bit bothered by it given the smirk and the wiggle he gives Ty.

"Oh I will flatter myself either way. If you can't compliment yourself, why do you expect others to do the same?"

And he means it. He truly is just doing something he hasn't in so long. Just enjoying himself without worrying, and that means flaunting it because he can.

"Sorry, my first reaction to being dragged into some weird science experiment set in a gloomy village is not to flirt with everyone. Survival was a bit more important." Ty said, a bit hopelessly, dissolving into more laughter at the wiggling. It's not that Bobo wasn't unattractive, but Ty wasn't looking for anything more substantial than more coats and parkas to keep him warm during the winter.

"All right, I get it you, you have boundless confidence. I'm happy for you and for all of us, who get to see you in all of your glory." Ty said, still grinning as he crossed his arms over his chest. "But aren't you cold?"

"Why not? It's not your life, not your world, and for all we know, we're toast when they're done with us anyway. Might as well have fun," he says, all light and bright and flirty... except for the expression in his eyes, deadly serious about that.

Bobo snorts then, making a face. "Oh I'm fucking freezing, but what choice do I have? Run home? Rather suffer than give up."

Which says a lot about him, and more than he would likely admit to most others. "Come on, Kid. You need to learn to have fun."

"I'll be sure to add that to my list after I'm all set and prepped for the winter." Ty said lightly, and he might have taken it more to heart if Bobo hadn't looked so stern. While undoubtedly there were people he wouldn't mind getting to know better, it wasn't a priority.

Ty only shook his head at that, laughing. "You want my jacket? I don't want you to suffer too much."

He did pause at the indication that he needed to learn how to have fun, mock offended but amused. "All right enlighten me. What's your idea of fun? Dancing? Drinking?"

That gets him a bit of a smirk, letting the amusement of the moment carry it out of that darkening mood. This is him living his life, and he's not willing to back down for when he returns to whatever he's facing.

Though he offers a bit of a real smile then, shaking his head. "You're too kind, but I'm good. I'm from up north anyway. You do't get cold that easy. Not like some of you people," he teases.

"Yep, with some gambling thrown in. I would say sex, but not sure you're old enough for that," he taunts.

"I'm glad for that then, because I'd hate to give you my jacket if you weren't even going to appreciate it." Ty said, zipping up his jacket a bit pointedly. He was definitely one of those people who got cold far too easily, or at least complained about it too much.

"I was thinking about having a card game night, if you were interested. I can let you know if it gets off the ground." Ty offered, crinkling his nose slightly at the taunt. "With your advanced age, is all of that even still functioning?" Ty shot back, mock concerned.

"Aren't you just the gentleman," Bobo chides, though he's amused by Ty as he often is. Not everyone keeps up with him as well, or gives as good as they get. Both are points in the kid's favor.

"I would definitely be interested. Count me in," he says, laughing though because there it was again. He's entertaining, Bobo'll give him that. "Advance age brings knowledge, wisdom, and a lack of morals to go along with all the parts and pieces working just fine, thank you."

"I try. Manners go a long way you know." Ty sad with a grin, pleased when he got Bobo to laugh again. Even if he was making a face at the idea of 'working parts', so maybe Bobo's calling him 'kid' might have some basis.

"Okay, I get it, we're hedging into too much information territory. I'm stopping you there before this somehow devolves into wacky hijinks where you feel like you need to prove your virility. I believe you."

"Do I act as if I think manners get me anywhere?" It was a snarky challenge, and giving him a look to complete the sarcasm.

"Never had to prove it, but the stories might be harmful to you," he admitted. "Some just can't handle it." And of course insinuating that Ty was definitely someone that couldn't, though he might think that of all people that hadn't been through all he has.

"For all I know, those are a version of demonic manners. Or a very outdated model." Ty stated solemnly, mouth quirking up slightly.

He scrunched up his face slightly at the naked challenge in Bobo's voice, looking him up and down pointedly. "If this is your way of starting gay chicken, you'll have to do better than that. I've had worse." Probably not but really, there were worse challenges to meet.

"Oh we're not letting go of the old jokes, huh? Keep it up, and I'll sick Wynonna on you," he says, giving Ty a slow once over. "I'd say you're her type, but you're breathing so..."

Sniffing though making a face at him. "And on that note, I think I need a drink. Try and stay out of trouble. And if not, make sure you make a spectacle of yourself."

"Gross, say no more." Ty said, waving a hand to cut him off before he heard anything more. Though now that he thought about it, wasn't Wynonna the girl he'd met lamenting about not being able to get lucky here? Best not think too deeply about it then.

He laughed at the face that Bobo made at him, slapping his shoulder companionably.

"I would say the same to you, but you'd probably enjoy it if you did. See you around."
