[Wow, he sure goes bright red.]

Pretty sure, uh. Pretty sure I don't got that one on mine.

[unbr8kable]

Well,

[And this sits for a while, as it occurs to her why he might be blushing so much,

Coughs lightly]

...What, do you got? Not that you can't just dress up for the heck of it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Uh. I mean. Mine are all pretty weird?

Wh-why, what, uh. What've you got?

[unbr8kable]

Tougher stuff. I mean...what do you count as 'weird'?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Just - y'know. Tougher stuff. Kinda - kinda hit the easy ones already.

[He hesitates for a long couple of seconds, before he hands over: "play seven minutes in heaven," "kiss someone while you're tied up," "let someone dress you in a pretty costume," and "make out for five minutes."]

[unbr8kable]

[Reads them over, and then reads them over again. Her expression stays fairly neutral]

Huh...huh.

[Pauses]

...Didn't somebody already dress you up?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, a guy can't get in the Halloween spirit with a vampire cape these days?

[unbr8kable]

Usually the cape comes with pants, but you do you. Just saying, should remember to mark it off the list, is all.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I had one of those swap outfit squares, okay? And Silence had one, too.

Figured an extra layer'd be a little less breezy.

[unbr8kable]

But not pretty enough to count?

[Pauses, because while hassling him is familiar and easy, they (probably) both know it's not actually getting her closer to the answer she's looking for. Shifts, casual]

I ask, 'cause we get two, right? So I could do that for you, if you want.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not, uh. Not hands on enough to count, I guess. I did the changing myself... so.

[He hesitates, going even redder.]

...would that be. I mean. Would you be cool with that?

[unbr8kable]

I did suggest it, but. Would you?

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Yeah, that's cool with me.

[unbr8kable]

Okay. Then--okay.

[Pauses again, considers. Starts heading towards the dress-up area, expecting him to fall in beside her]

...You got any hard nos or is what counts as 'pretty' up to my jurisdiction?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He falls in after her, not quite casual.]

Like I know anything about fashion?

Gimme whatever, dude, you'll do a better job picking than I would.

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, I got some ideas already, but-- I mean, you had feelings on the right number of buckles before, so...

[Hesitates, nudges into him]

If something's too much, you can tell me, that's all. I wanna know.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey. I trust you.

[Nudges back.]

If you totally jump the shark though, I'm gonna call you out.

[unbr8kable]

Sounds like famous last words, but... Okay, sure.

...Though I'm gonna have to see what I have to work with, first.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Costume racks're right over there.

[He points?]

[unbr8kable]

[Points back at him]

Jacket, please.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh. Right.

[He takes off the vampire coat - makes a self-conscious little tada gesture, though his face is very red.]

[He's got on something similar to this, but with silver boots in place of the leg pieces.]

[unbr8kable]

Mm...

[Looks him up and down--makes him do a turnaround. Idly notes how many freckles (so many!) but pushes it aside.]

I like the boots. You can keep the boots.

[crossmyheartandhope]

That mean you're gonna stick with the silver look?

[His face is even darker after the turnaround, if that's even possible.]

[unbr8kable]

Mm, I think I prefer some color on you.

[And she doesn't not look at the flush down his face, because she's kind of bad at this, so she starts walking again, to the costume racks.]

...Uh, anyways--go take that off. I'll meet you in the dressing room for the main event.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Uh... yeah. Uh.

[He swallows hard at the words "dressing room," but manages a nod.]

See you there.

[And he ducks his head and takes off in that direction.]
