It's like twenty days until Halloween and I haven't even got a costume figured out yet. This is a catastrophe.

[ Ah, she knows that they've had some very serious actual catastrophes lately, but Clary definitely seems to try and focus on the normal things in life. Especially when she's stuck here and can't get back home to make a different. ]

Anyway, so does Heropa have a carnival or anything? Or any of the Porter cities? Usually I go to a club or a party with my bff. It's tradition. I think he'd be disappointed if I didn't do something. What's everyone else doing? What's everyone wearing? Are glittery vampires still the popular costumes? Boy wizards? Sexy clipboard? I need to know!

I kind of want to see you as a sexy clipboard, now.

[cupio]

Billy, no.

I can't even be sexy as a person, let alone a clipboard.

[ This is what dressing up means to him. Also, Clary inflicted it on him once and he is now watchful in case that day comes again. ]

last year there were things at the swear in
lanterns
i carved one .

[ Winry taught him how. It's strange remembering all that now. He had only just gotten here. ]

[ GREY YOU WERE REALLY HOT, DON'T LIE. ]

but idk if i should get one because idris might try to get into it.

Whenever I have to dress up I usually go with a pirate costume.

[cupio]

Ooh, classic.

[ Yay, it's Jo. Clary likes Jo. ] I always want to go as a Tolkien elf but I'm too short.

[hisheartsdesire]

If you're still in need of company, I'll go with. Though now I can't decide on a costume.

[At the party where he'd first met Dorian, he dressed as Marty McFly, and Dorian thought Toby had dressed himself in the dark. Reflectionlessness is tough.]

[cupio]

We should dress up for the class closest to Halloween. We could totally do the famous painter thing.

[ Join her in her madness, Toby. She is a nuisance and she loves Halloween. ]

I think even the teacher would get a kick out of it.

My friend's throwing a Halloween party, so I guess I'm kind of obligated to tell as many people as possible. Should be pretty fun, I'm making him dress up as Elvis.

[not to mention she's helping him set it up, but lmao this is already too much public positive talk for Hazel in one sitting.]

[cupio]

omg awesome.
what are you going as?

[rathercommon]

So - OK, you're bringing up Halloween, so can you like explain the pumpkin thing to me? I don't really get it.

[cupio]

you mean you don't come from a world where carving spooky faces into vegetables is a family orientated thing?

[enucleation]

Why is Halloween such a big deal?

[text]

[cupio]

it probably has something to do with the free candy.

[cuff]

Boy wizards? Did I miss the next big thing? I did, didn't I. Right next to clipboards too, damn.

[cupio]

What's the Big Thing in your mind then?

[ How could he have missed Harry Potter? ]

i saw a sexy crayon last year.
i'm an artist and even i don't think they're appealing.

[mirroredmemory]

Why do you need to have a costume? Are you going on a mission where you need a disguise?

[cupio]

no it's something to do for fun.
people dress up in costume on halloween and get candy from their neighbours.

[theminotaur]

Sexy clipboard?

You need to be here to see the face I'm making, but really?

[cupio]

i went to a party and saw a sexy bagel last year.
it was an intense ride from start to finish.

[nitidus]

You too could be Sexy Nemo, though.

You'd get to wear a cape.

I'm considering a prince costume. One of those dashing, roguish ones with perfect hair and too much bling.

[ omg Jack you have a costume but no idea. ]

They were all the rage where I come from.
