Halloween is over, Samhain has passed and the days when goblins and ghouls could live in harmonious play with the living are gone until next year. The leave are changing from red and gold to brown, falling from the trees to be buried in snow. Halloween has come and gone, the season of Thanksgiving, of Christmas, of Hannukah, of the Yuletide is upon us. A season of gift giving and family, of charity and celebration. But wait, dear somber reader, who longs for the days of Jack-O-Lanterns and lovingly distressed tombstones. The Season of the Witch has only just begun! You are cordially invited, all you spooks, creatures, beloved dead, to the Addams Family home for holiday festivities. Neighbors, friends, family, friends of the family and yes, even you, hapless bystander who somehow found their way onto the premises. You are all welcome to celebrate the longer night and darker day. There is no rest for the wicked, after all. Allow Lurch to take your coat, let Thing pour you a drink and may the old spirits bless this hearth. We are all Addamses here. Perhaps you're an invited guest, whose invitation came by phone or post, owl or incantation. You're family, old friends and new, friends of friends and family of family. Maybe you simply knocked on the wrong door, or were caught with a flat? (Well, how 'bout that?) All are welcome in the Addams abode, for this festive and chilling time of year. Dance to the music playing and echoing, waking the bats in the belfry. Bob for crabs, drink and be merry! And don't you worry about your children, they're welcome too! Little Wednesday and Pugsly are happy to keep the young ones company. More the merrier for the traditional children's burning of the Yule Log (in memory of all those great logs of days past, present and future who has seen some things in their time and had something to say about it). Welcome, and happy Extended Halloween!

Avoid temptation, at a party like this? Where was the fun in that?

Viveca had arrived not long before, in her belted chiton, and her laurel leaves and a charm bracelet of bows and arrows.

She nudged his elbow lightly with her fingertips, both brows lifting as she asked: "Any chance I could coax you out to the dance floor?"

Fun is such a serendipitous prospect. Who has time for fun these days? He's surprised to be approached to be entirely honest, and was content to just be a wallflower until he could go home and vent his need to feed on cleaning the kitchen instead.

"What--me?"

[letsthemeat]

"No, the hot lesbian standing behind you." She replied, deadpan, grinning again a moment later and adding: "Yes you."

She shook her head, offering a hand, "Name's Viv, we can get all properly introduced first if that helps."

[compulsives]

He looks at her hand, and he is so torn. He doesn't know her and given her crass verbal choices he can only imagine where her hands have been. That said, it would be terrible rude to dismiss a lady. He opts for brave chivalry this time, taking her hand and bringing it up to his lips.

Smells clean, thank god.

"And I am Lord Hal, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

[letsthemeat]

She was physically clean, at least for the time being, otherwise? Well, having Sins for parents did cause a certain kind of taint that while it had been a problem for some of her cousin-siblings, had never really bothered her, and especially not in this kind of mixed company.

Both brows lifted at the gesture and at the introduction, "Well, a Lord, and too late for me to pull out the good manners, guess I'll just have to make it up by actually knowing how to dance. Lucky for the both of us, I do."
