[Lucy is in her flat, in her bedroom surrounded by bright bits of fabric, feathers, shoes, masks and the like. She looks happy enough, but a little wary. She knows how Halloween in the City goes. She's been through it a number of times and this month has only reinforced her suspicions about how this Halloween is going to go.]

So if I warned everybody about dressing up and sort of suggested that we all dress up as fluffy kittens or harmless teddy bears, no one would take me seriously, right?

[She waits a moment, smirking slightly.]

Yeah, I thought so. The less scary we dress up as the better though. Just look at the month so far and consider how tonight is going to go. Be careful.

I would but, I have no plans to dress up, anyway. Just very cautiously handing out candy.

[mightbeconcussed]

Probably safe then. Just be careful who you open the door to.

[valentineluke]

Kittens and teddy bears could be turn dangerous.

[mightbeconcussed]

Luke...I have very little innocence left. You're currently destroying it.

What are you doing for Halloween?

[valentineluke]

[Be grateful Harry Saxon/Master's return wasn't brought up.]

Quiet evening at home for the most part.

[mightbeconcussed]

[She's already determined Harry has no idea who she is, so she would have been okay with that.]

For the most part?

[valentineluke]

Plan to venture out later.

[mightbeconcussed]

Be careful, okay?

What are you dressing up as?

[mightbeconcussed]

Tinkerbell! I figure, worst case scenario: I throw temper tantrums and cover everyone in glitter.

Which, oddly enough, also works as a pretty good description of my twenties.

I'm going as a werewolf, but I was raised by wolves anyway so I guess it wouldn't make much difference if I did turn into one.

[mightbeconcussed]

I approve of your twenties.

As long as you're not eating anyone, I approve of this as well.

[anunluckypenny]

It's just crazy enough to make perfect sense. I don't know about you, but I'm kind of thinking about skipping the whole dressing-up thing completely. Better safe than sorry, you know?

[mightbeconcussed]

I'm dressing up, and I'm going to the ball thing. I'm just prepared for what's going to come. Skipping and staying is good though.

[anunluckypenny]

Is your costume cute? I mean, if something awful might happen, you might as well look cute.

[mightbeconcussed]

It's totally cute. I'm going as Tinkerbell.

[She disappears off screen for a moment then comes back with her costume on a hanger.]

See, totally cute and if I get turned into her at night, the most I'll be doing is pixing people.

[anunluckypenny]

[It's the shoes that get Penny's attention.]

Oh my gosh, those shoes! I mean--you know, it's really cute. But the shoes.

[mightbeconcussed]

[Big smile]

Right? I've been coveting them for weeks and finally decided Halloween was a perfect reason to buy them. They'll be perfect for Christmas and Halloween.

[anunluckypenny]

Well, I'm glad you went and spoiled yourself with something pretty. It's like a yay-you-survived-October present.

[mightbeconcussed]

Exactly. Every person should have a present for that.

[candothat]

Tonight cannot be worse than the rest of the month, but that's a good warning.

What are you doing for the holiday?

[mightbeconcussed]

Probably not. It's been a really awful month.

Dressing up as Tinkerbell and going to the ball. I figure around midnight, I'll turn into a thumb sized, flying girl, throw a temper tantrum and cover everyone in glitter. Relatively speaking, it's not a bad night. Also, I've done that uncursed so you know...no big deal. The temper tantrum and the glitter, not the thumb sized flying girl.

[candothat]

I think that seeing you throw a tantrum and glitter when you aren't cursed would be funnier.

Would you like an escort? Halloween is dangerous. It isn't safe to be alone.

[mightbeconcussed]

I'll start carrying around glitter for my next temper tantrum.

[She gives him a huge smile.]

I would like that very much.

[candothat]

Thank you.

[He returns her smile... in part because of the mental image of glitter temper tantrum.]

Good! Then I will see you? ...Before you are thumb-sized, I mean, because that would make you difficult to find.

[mightbeconcussed]

You will definitely see me there before I get thumb sized.

Want to meet at the entrance? And what are you wearing?

[candothat]

The entrance will do, yes, and I will be wearing a suit that Sophie made for me. That is almost a costume.

[And a significant improvement insofar as Chekov's wardrobe is concerned. Without a uniform to wear, he has taken to wearing polos and bad sweaters.]

[mightbeconcussed]

Okay.

[She paused a moment, biting her bottom lip.]

This is going to fun, Pavel. At least until midnight.

[candothat]

It may be fun after midnight, as well. I promise to keep you out of trouble.

[mightbeconcussed]

Pavel, are you flirting with me?

I approve entirely if you are.

[candothat]

No, not on purpose, but I can be if you like.

[mightbeconcussed]

Always flirt with me. Now, in the future. Just always. I promise to flirt back.

[candothat]

You may need to give me flirting lessons.

[mightbeconcussed]

I'll be an excellent teacher.

[candothat]

Perhaps we could multitask by going to the party and flirting on the way there?

[mightbeconcussed]

You're a genius. Obviously.

[candothat]

So I've been told--for different reasons, of course.

[mightbeconcussed]

I'll meet you in the lobby of my building in a few minutes. Oh, yes. I should tell you. You're picking me up. I decided it. Otherwise we can't flirt on the way to the party.

[ooc:I have no idea if you want to play their 'date' out. I'm game if you are but I also know I'm horrendously slow right now so if you don't, it's fine too.]

[candothat]

This is a sensible plan. I'll be there very soon.

[ooc: Y'know, handwaving would be awesome (not that I mind slow, but this month is so very this month).]

[fe_male]

The solution here is clearly to dress sexier. Problem solved.

[mightbeconcussed]

Honestly, I don't think that's going to be a problem

[She'll hold the costume up as exhibit A. She knows this isn't Harry. Harry is gone, but she has met Tony Stark once before, and mistaken him for Harry very briefly.]

[fe_male]

You could probably single-handedly save the night with that, yeah.

[mightbeconcussed]

[such smiles. very good answer, Tony]

Thank you. I'll consider that when things go pear-shaped.
