Halloween was Virgil's kind of scene. He had been on the verge of planning his own shindig, but when he spotted fliers for a party at Glitter.. well... he refrained from taking away any of the spotlight that Aeron deserved. It was the least he could do after his behaviour. Surprisingly, he had received an invitation to DJ the party as soon as some... band... finished a set. Some band being 'Oblivion Box'. Whatever. That wasn't the sort of music Virgil really listened to.. he preferred glam bands and dance music. This particular band was too space rock-y for him. Not that he was complaining. He had made his way to the party about an hour after it had started. The minute he did show up, he was expected to begin setting up... Oblivion Box were in the middle of their set by that point, so he had to be prepared. And he certainly was prepared.
Virgil had dressed accordingly, wearing a well put together Joker costume. He had managed to find each item online somewhere.. aside from anything he had to assemble himself. It was a costume he had planned months ago, so properly finding everything he needed was easy enough. Of course... he had to be ok with dying his hair green.. which wasn't really something he was keen on doing, but he managed to go through with it. He decided that he was a mix of a traditional Joker and the newer Joker... no Chelsea grin, bright white pancake face paint, dark painted eyes... he was pulling it off well. And he was pulling off his DJ gig well. He decided early on that he would most likely attempt to avoid Aeron... and if he couldn't, then their conversation would be a short one.
Oblivion Box finished up.. complete with an encore. There seemed to be plenty of fans there to support them. Virgil took his place behind his turntable and did his job. A few songs in and the crowd had nearly forgotten about that band. Oh yes... Virgil did have a way about him. By the ninth song, Virgil relaxed a bit and stepped back slightly from the table. He had barely noticed the crowd... obviously, he should have been keeping track. Even his sense of smell was off... because he didn't even realize that someone was sneaking up behind him. Just as Virgil was beginning to suspect something, a pair of arms snaked around his middle, pulling him close into a backwards hug. Virgil lifted his arms and peered over his shoulder as much as he could. He still couldn't quite tell who it was, but any questions he had were answered as soon as he heard that voice in his ear.
"You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?" he asked playfully, keeping with his Joker character to some degree. He turned in Lorraine's arms and gave her a proper hug... and even a quick kiss to the cheek. "You are wearing FAR too much. You know... Adam and Eve didn't realize they were naked until they ate the forbidden fruit. Your forbidden fruit appears to be untouched..." He eyed the apple she held and then rose an eyebrow at her rather impishly.
