Halloween Party

[meat_mooks]

Who knows why the ship was doing this. Maybe it was some kind of social experiment. Maybe Stacy was feeling festive and somewhere, out there, it was Halloween. Maybe the players just wanted to have Halloween fun. No one would ever know, would they

Re: Costumes

Kate walked into the party, and paused. Funny, she felt a draft. She then glanced down at what she was changed into and yelped. Those shorts were really...short. Ok, the mask and the cape was nice, but yikes!

[bonnypiperlad]

"Aye, it's me." While he doesn't pick up on the hidden smile, that familiar teeheehee catches his attention. That's the second time that Lash has found one of his costumes funny, and he looks rather grumpy for a moment before moving on.

"She seems to be very fond of that tonight," he replies, quite glad that there's at least bottoms along with the space-suit - even if they're short too. "I'd not say yours is so bad, though - either of yours." Yes, you too, tee-hee girl.

"Maybe Stacy'll give ye something longer if ye ask for it, though?"

[nothawkingbird]

Ok Kate did have to giggle a little, "I could try, but this is ok with the cape tied around now. I don't know how anybody can crime fight in this though."

[things_go_boom]

"Maybe they just want to be really comfortable" Lash replied, shrugging. "...in a really tight outfit, teeheehee!"

[bonnypiperlad]

Oh, not Kate too. Jamie closes his eyes a moment, begging silently for some other outfit. Any other outfit. Stacy doesn't seem to want to oblige, however, so he gives up and goes back to the conversation.

"It's not so bad for it, I don't think. The cape might get in the way, but ye could ye it as a distraction if ye needed to." It occurs to him that the exposed midriff doesn't seem to have much in the way of any actual protection, but he can't say as he minds the effect. Much better than his...whatever this is.

"Do either of ye know what you're supposed to be, though?"

[things_go_boom]

Lash shrugged. "I honestly have no idea. Maybe a special agent of some sort?" She looked down at the exposed midriff, the knuckle hand things and the rather unique tie-stuck-in-boobs getup. And the heels! "Then again no agent would want to wear these..." she clicked her heels, trying not to trip over too much, "...and be seen in public." Then again there were people like Nell. But at least she wore a full outfit in addition to her heels.

[nothawkingbird]

At least she's used to having a bare midriff with her own outfit, though that likewise sucks for protection in that regard. And sorry, Jamie, but she did try to hold her own laughter back? It just didn't work out too well

Kate remarked as the giggles finally died away, "Oh it's definitely a superhero outfit, that's obvious. Kind of reminds me of Mockingbird, especially the mask since I wore one like it early on. But I think this one's from that other world maybe with Kon, Paco, Jaime, Nightwing, Starfire, Beastboy, and others."

[bonnypiperlad]

His glance flicks back to Lash, and Jamie studies the outfit for a moment - although he politely avoids looking at the tie. She's got a point about it, and he nods. "I would think ye would want to blend in if ye were an agent, which I'd not sure ye could in that. Those yellow goggle-things are a wee bit distinctive."

He can't blame either of them for laughing at his outfit, really, as he knows he might very well have done so himself if it was on anyone else. Maybe that's the whole reason Stacy is dressing people up like that, to embarrass them? But...Kate's reaction seems to indicate her costume is fairly normal in her universe, and he's a little curious about that. "Do superheros always dress like that, Kate?"

[nothawkingbird]

Kate then explained, "Well not exactly like this maybe? But some women heroes? Yes. I mean, my own outfit has a top similar to this one. But I have leggings and boots with mine. Not this leotard set up."

[things_go_boom]

"Seriously?" Lash can't help but laugh again. "I'm sorry it's just...it seems so...impractical."

[bonnypiperlad]

"It doesn't seem so bad to me," muses Jamie. "Why would ye say that it's impractical? I've not got superheroes in my world, but I've seen outfits that look a wee bit like that in a few places."

He's even seen ones with shorts just about that length, too. "People seemed to be perfectly fine with wearing them."

[things_go_boom]

"I guess..." she trailed off. "In my world, we tended to wear our country's colors as its Commanding Officers. But high heels? Do you really want to give out orders to an army wearing then of going to a battle with them? You'll trip and wall waaaaay easier!"

[bonnypiperlad]

"Well, no," Jamie admits. "I'd not care to wear them at all." He is very pointedly not looking at his feet, which just so happen to be clad in black patent leather boots with something resembling a short heel. They're also cut into points in top, but it's no more ridiculous than the rest of the outfit.

[things_go_boom]

"Yeah me neither," Lash agreed. "I guess for tonight we don't have a choice however, huh? Teehee! I guess we make the most of it. Or something."
