Woooow, everything is so busy all of a sudden! Is October always like this in America? I kinda like it. We got the zombies out of the way nice and early so the rest of the month we can party, right! ♪

So, I'm going to that dance, but what I'm really excited for is Halloween. I've never gone trick-or-treating before. So all you adults, you'll have candy if you don't want to be tricked! That's the way this is supposed to work, and now that I've filled you in, there will be no excuses...

[someone try to tell Rin that the tricking part of Halloween is pretty much out of practice. She won't listen.]

Everyone else is going to be in costume too, right? It's going to be so fun... Oh, but the clock is ticking, so if you don't have a costume yet then you should call me right away so I can help you brainstorm! I heard the costume rush is insane, you don't want to procrastinate on this. ♪

The candy from last year made me wear a bedsheet and a mask... I don't know if I want to do it again, though.

[roadroller]

What candy? That sounds pretty dumb. ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

...I guess I was a superhero.

[roadroller]

Yeah, you probably don't want to be a superhero. At least you weren't wearing underwear over your pants.

Maybe something a bit more sophisticated this time... ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Are costumes ever really very sophisticated...?

[roadroller]

Sure! If you think outside the box.♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Does that mean I'm not allowed to get something from the store?

[roadroller]

Um, no! Custom is the way to go! ♪

[which is easy for her to say since she's used to having custom things handed to her. Oops.]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

That's a lot more troublesome... I don't know, the bedsheet and mask might just be easier, then. I definitely can't make anything more complicated.

[roadroller]

Ah, well... I might have spoken too soon. It's not like you have to do everything by yourself. ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[roadroller]

Well, can your fake mom sew? ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I've still only got a drone. ...She'd probably try to dress me as a Wholesome Child.

[roadroller]

What kind of Halloween costume is that... ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I think it would probably involve suspenders and a haircut.

[roadroller]

... Ok, now apply that creativity toward things that you'd actually want to dress as. ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

...

A yellow and red striped shirt and shorts?

[roadroller]

Smartass! ♪

Actually, though, I just thought of a way you could dress as something without sewing it. What about pretending to be a professional? Then you could just borrow their stuff.

I think there are definitely kids who would go as fire-fighters or doctors or... girl scouts... ♪

[This last idea is genius]

It'd be really easy to get a girl scout uniform. ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Really? ...I know a few older teenagers have been assigned as troop leaders. I can ask them if they've got any uniforms.

[Totally missing the hint.]

[roadroller]

[...except, it sounds like he's taking the hint, so she doesn't realize he missed it...]

Yeah! ♪ You know, I think you could pull it off.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I actually wondered if it was possible to join when I heard about them. They sounded interesting. ...Except they were all drones so I ended up changing my mind.

[roadroller]

Heheh, well this would only be for one night, so you wouldn't have to hang out with any drones. Since you're going with Harley's group... ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Well. I'll see. I don't even know if there are any Boy Scout leaders around anymore...

[roadroller]

... Oh, boy scouts? ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Huh? Were you talking about something else?
