Closed phone call: Ilsa, Egon, Nall, Luka (if she's interested)

[velesdonnersen]

Ilsa told me about this "Halloween" thing, and I'm just... I mean... it's awesome! [He's all giddy, in need of some fun.]  I was thinking we could get together, plan out costumes, and I could design.  But I need some help -- there are supposed to be devices for sewing, and there must be sources for fabrics and makeup, and I'll need some shop

[ooeeooahah]

Sewing machines, yes, there's one here, but I haven't used it. I know how, since I used to help Nadine with her designs. I think I can get it into the car, and throw something together for dinner. At least they'll let me buy the fabric and makeup, but it there's any mechanicals involved, it's easier for the guys to pick those items up.

[ Ilsa has absolutely no idea what she's loosed by giving Tarvek an excuse to design. ]

[velesdonnersen]

[He cackles, gleefully.]

What do you want to be, liebchen? Beautiful? Glorious? Sexy? Monstrous?

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ohhhhh, eeep. ] Why don't I see what you've come up with when I get there. [ Does she sound nervous? ]

[velesdonnersen]

You will do this, yes. I will...

[rustling paper...]

Angel, perhaps? With wings, like Otilia? Ooooh, mein Ilsa as the Queen of Night, from The Magic Flute? Aieeeee -- beautiful Goddess, so right...

[It should be obvious that while he's still got the phone tucked between his ear and shoulder, he's also begun to lose himself in design. A pencil can be heard making bold strokes on paper...}

[drspengler]

[In a slightly amused tone.]

For now I need to keep working on my own projects but you'll have to show me what you come up with.

[velesdonnersen]

[Silence, followed by a voice that's geared toward cool.]

As you wish, friend.

But...

I was thinking, perhaps, "clockwork samurai" for you... Let me know if you're interested.

[He hangs up, before Egon suspects he's regretting showing even this much vulnerability.]

Sounds great! I've been thinking about participating in that Halloween thing this year, but couldn't decide what to do!

[Tarvek is delighted to see Nall -- it's been too long. And he's going to play this Halloween thing! Better still!]

[He is practically purring over the phone...]

That... That's fantastic! What sort of costume would you like, mein freund? [Chuckles] You are a shapechanger, already: we could make a costume for any version of you!

What would you like to be, Nall?

[He is honestly interested, and he loves doing this....]

Oh man, something for my human form... you ever see people's pets running around in sweaters and hats and booties? A part of me wants to laugh hysterically, another part of me feels... just plain bad for them. Glad Alex and his family never submitted me to that...

Aside from that, I'm not really sure what kinda costume to wear... got any ideas?

Re: Phone

[velesdonnersen]

Hmmmm. Would you like to mirror either of your other forms? It would be fun to do a cat or a dragon costume. But I can see reasons to avoid that... which leaves a world of other choices. I'm not sure in Mayfield I would want to be a monster, if I were you: too many people might assume it was the real thing, and start firing. But -- there are fun things, like robots...I could make you the most awesome robot costume. Or classy things: you want to be a French Aristocrat? Or a Renaissance Lord? Or a knight? Or Fred Astaire in a tux?
