Creepy old abandoned mansion on Phoenix Way, Wednesday evening

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie had spent all day -- barring her class, of course -- getting the mansion ready for the Halloween party. If anyone had any protests over her rather liberal use of black and orange balloons, streamers, party hats, table cloths, and confetti, she wasn't hearing them over the noise of her party cannon.

Kitty made a fantastic party helper, at least, helping rearrange what little furniture was already set up (so that's what hands were for!) and doing the many things that even the party cannon couldn't do (such as keep Pinkie from eating all the snacks before the party could even start).

Then, at last, it was time to get into costume. Pinkie had promised to show Kitty just what Nightmare Night was all about, and her Nightmare Moon costume delivered in spades, if she did say so herself. Sure, the glowing contact lenses were uncomfortable, and the black make-up was going to be rather difficult to get out of her coat later, but she was rocking those plastic fangs.

Yeah, Stiles would be over here, overdosing on sugar. All of his funds were tangled up in his Lydia Martin birthday present problem, so Stiles' costume consisted of his red hoodie and a basket, making him the laziest Red Riding Hood ever.

It worked for him.

"Great costume," Kitty said with a smile.

"I'm glad you approve of my laziness," Stiles said. "Yours is awesome too. Though I feel like I shouldn't detail why I find it awesome otherwise Mr. Barton will shoot me."

Re: Snacks and beverages

[throughaphase]

"He wouldn't shoot you," Kitty said, flattered as she was. "...Do you always call him Mr. Barton?"

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"Yeah," Stiles said. "He's way older than me and can kick my ass, of course I call him Mr. Barton."

Re: Snacks and beverages

[throughaphase]

"He's not way older," she protested.

Being what, three, four years older than Stiles?

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"Isn't he like in his 40's?" Stiles asked. "My dad's around his age and my dad is old, so."

"I slave away for weeks on my costume," Olive noted, wandering over, "and you show up with a red sweatshirt? It's like you're not even taking this seriously, Stiles."

Probably because, you know, it was Halloween and not a peace summit or something.

"Well I'm a guy. Any effort is enough effort when it comes to us and costumes," Stiles said with a shrug. "That's the way the world is, Olive. I don't make the rules."

"I don't really see you fighting the man on this one, either," she pointed out, tsking and shaking her head.

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"It's ironic or something," Stiles said. "I know a lot of werewolves."

Re: Snacks and beverages

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

"...seriously?" Olive asked, and...then the lightbulb. "Oh, right, like your dumb friend who looks like Victor." She winced, and added, "Shit, sorry, your friend's not dumb. I didn't mean that."

She did, she just hadn't meant to say it.

"Don't worry, we're all aware Scott's kind of slow," Stiles said. "His other attributes make up for it."

"Just remember to leave some sugar for the rest of us."

That was Mike coming over to grab a few things for himself, yeah. He was not working towards a sugar high but he did like the occasional bit of candy.

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"Hey it'll be your own fault if you didn't buy enough sugar," Stiles said, giving Mike a once over. "Nice legs--costume! Nice costume."

Re: Snacks and beverages

[newroutines]

Mike snickered. "Thanks, I think the legs make up for my lack of a nice rack."

He couldn't not tease, come on.

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"Did you shave them?" He couldn't help but notice.

Re: Snacks and beverages

[newroutines]

"I did, yeah," Mike replied with an idle glance down at his legs. He wasn't going to say it was mostly force of habit, though. "More Marilyn-like, right? I mean I guess I coulda gone for butch Marilyn too, but, you know."

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"It's nice," Stiles said, not even realizing he was saying that out loud. "Must spend a fortune on razors."

Re: Snacks and beverages

[locointhecoco]

"Ooo, what're you supposed to be?"

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"Little Red Riding Hood," Stiles answered. "Do they have that story where you're from?"

Re: Snacks and beverages

[locointhecoco]

Pinkie pondered that. "I don't think so. How do you ride a hood?"

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"I think Riding might've been her last name?" Stiles, that wasn't right at all. "It's a story about a girl that wears a red hood to visit her grandma and she gets stalked and eaten by a wolf."

Re: Snacks and beverages

[locointhecoco]

"Wow, that's scary! Why was there a wolf at her grandma's?"

Please, Stiles, explain the intricacies of fairy tales to the pony.

Re: Snacks and beverages

[robinonadderall]

"Because wolves are jerks," Stiles said. "And he liked dressing up in old lady clothes."
