Okay, just wanted to recap for the Halloween Party - what all is gonna go down, at least on my end...
Something I had an idea for: take everyone out to one of San Antonio's Halloween celebrations. This way, everyone can go out in public as they are, and the only thing people will say is that they have the best costumes. It might be a bit weird being regarded as fictional at first, but the general atmosphere of acceptance might overcome that.
Other than that...
Benjamin does something sneaky for Mamorou and Usagi.
Rin has a bad reaction to Benjamin's mage-stealth - thinks he's not even human and Ben takes it badly.
Sudden dogpile when it gets out that Jurai practices plural marriages - Ben pulls Hino Rei aside and talks her down, but due to lingering bad feelings from Rin's outburst, Rei gets a glimpse into the abyss in the deep sea of Ben's psyche... plus the clear indication that he found her attractive, not simply on a physical level, but in a very VERY profound manner. Naturally, she hits the emotional reactor SCRAM until she can have a good break down in Belldandy's company.
This is probably gonna be the big event that the entire story centers around, unless someone can think of anything else.
Tennants involved on my end: Tenchi Muyo group, Urzu Squadron + Teletha and Kaname, and Team RWBY.
Afterwards, during the 'afterparty' when things are calming down and the younger ones are packing it in for the night, Usagi calls for a sitdown with herself, Mamorou, Ben, and Belldandy to see if there's anything that can be done for him. (Short answer - not much. Talking helps, but it's only talk in the end. It won't absolve his loneliness - no man is an island unto themselves.)
So, who else has input for the Halloween Party?
Fun idea: Usagi and Tenchi work together to concoct a plan that manipulates Benjamin into crashing at other people's apartments so he isn't technically sleeping 'alone'. Sometimes it will work. Sometimes it doesn't. But what it will be basically doing is drawing Benjamin more and more 'Uchi' - 'Inside' with their respective families. Unintended consequence? As the younger and more impressionable girls get to know him more and more, then they start to become more and more romantically attracted to him until there's a boil-over incident where one group makes their intentions clear, and it doesn't exactly jive with the others.
Thoughts?
