Right, okay. I've... been pretty distracted lately. Kind of forgot it was even Halloween time...

[Also kind of focusing on things that don't involve missing people. But, at the moment, Shiro's perched on the porch of the Sevii Island house, frowning down at the invitation from Riegfried and Soy.]

Not my favorite time of the year, either.

But I... think I might need a costume for this? [Of course he's going. He has people to cheer on!!]

Open to suggestions.

[He pauses, then adds:] Normal suggestions. Nothing weird.

Nothing weird, huh ... ( hmmm. )

How about a pumpkin mask!

( Corrin that's... KIND OF WEIRD, BUDDY. ) Unless you want a full costume?

[shiro2hero]

[Listen, Corrin, that's way better than he was expecting.]

Hey, there's an idea.

But I get the feeling they [Said Contest Holders] probably want more than just a mask.

[fatefulprince]

Oh, right! Of course! Sorry, I couldn't help it. Last time I went to a Harvest Festival back home, I loved the masks. They were so spooky, yet cool!

( he's gonna try his best to be helpful though! )

Why don't you be ... Oh. I've got it! A ... oh wait, no never mind. That one isn't as good. ( damn! why is this so hard!? ) A moon ... ( why is he thinking about moons? ) The moon? ( it's bigger than a mask! ) But moons aren't scary. Maybe a red moon! A blood red moon! ( HE'S SO BAD AT THIS. )

I’m not familiar with this holiday either. What would be a normal costume?

[shiro2hero]

Characters, objects, I guess pokemon would be options here. Just... something with a top. Pants. Covers skin. At least if you're going to be in public.

I know when I was a kid, I went as a Jedi a few times. Maybe... I'll just do that again?

[singlespacedad]

No.

[Is it possible for a helmet to look disapproving? Because this helmet is extremely skeptical of this plan.]

If you're going to dress up like someone from my world, you're going to dress up like a Mandalorian.

[It fits your criteria, Shiro. A top, pants, covers basically all your skin: check. Looking way more badass than a Jedi? Also check.]

[instrumentally]

What would one consider normal?

[shiro2hero]

Anything that wasn't labeled "sexy ____"

[instrumentally]

Then you must choose one that does not include this phrase.

Got any good friends? You could dress up as them.

[Riz looks away, shrugging. He's... bad at this. Bad at people and whatever is normal.]

That's what me and my friends did the last time we had a Halloween party. It was fun.

[shiro2hero]

You did?

It went over okay? No... hurt feelings or anything...?

[nightyorb]

Why would anyone be upset? We were all dressing as each other.

[Ah, though perhaps he understands.]

It's okay for friends to razz each other, you know. That's not a bullying thing. That is a friendship thing.

[nellacerniera]

If horror movies are a thing in your world, maybe as something from one of those?

[shiro2hero]

There's an idea. Probably have to go shopping for that kind of thing, though.

Pleather Head is pretty scary.

[nellacerniera]

Yeah, probably. But as long as the costume doesn't have "sexy" attached to the start of it, it's fine, right?

[Good god, those sorts of costumes... Anyway.]

Is that one from a slasher flick?

[crystalmaster]

Is there anything you specially like? Characters, cultures ... ? I'm not much on dressing up in general, but I do like traditional Spanish clothes. I'm thinking I might wear something like that.

[shiro2hero]

I mean... I could always try an astronaut?

[crystalmaster]

Hey, that sounds good to me!

[desirestruth]

What...would constitute 'weird' to you?

[BUDDY THIS WHOLE HOLIDAY IS WEIRD.]

[shiro2hero]

Those costumes that are just... "sexy" something.

[desirestruth]

Just...sexy?

[PEOPLE DO THAT?]

[rolltoavoidpossession]

Something scary would be a good choice. Like a monster or something.

[shiro2hero]

Like a dark type pokemon, maybe?

[outofsynth]

Oh. You have friends like that, too, huh?

[shiro2hero]

Maybe. I'm hoping I don't.
