Late October: Costume Shopping

"I'd be afraid I'd hurt myself dancing like that." She smiles. "Thanks Bear. I'm pretty happy with it so far, though I'm a little on the fence about one of the accessories."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 11:18 pm

"Thanks! I love the jingle belt thing, I might wear that over a miniskirt or shorts just for kicks, yeah? I mean, during the time of the year that's not Halloween, clubbing or whatever."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 11:22 pm

"That would be pretty cool Zoe. Not everyone could make it work, but I think you could."

by **Byrna Cooper** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 11:23 pm

"I might come back later.. I love this way too much!"

smiling, she shook her own bells rapidly.

"Well, when you start with a fashion train wreck, what's the harm in crashing a car into it?" she grins to Mercy. "And yeah, I think I'll pick this up. Good backup costume and otherwise just fun to have around. Plus I've got a bit more income now so I've got some extra cash to blow."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 11:30 pm

"What do you two think about this?" Mercy holds up a faux gold chain and collar. "I'm worried it might be too much."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:11 am

"In for a bit, in for a terabyte," she shrugs, "Might as well go all the way, yeah? But I'm not really one to ask if yer after moderation," she concludes with a laugh.

Mercy smiles. "Well your perspective is valuable as long as I keep in mind where it's coming from. It is just one night." She chuckles. "And I am already wearing pink."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 10:14 am

"Zactly! And really, it's just one night, what's the worst that can happen? A cute photo of you gets posted to XUNet?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 12:42 pm

"Agh, I hadn't thought about the XLU site. Maybe I should get the dark purple one..."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 12:57 pm

"Stick with the pink! Halloween's about being somethin' different for a day, yeah? Or just for a night. 'sides, it's a fancy fundraiser thing, I'm sure the local celebs'll be getting most of the attention."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:03 pm

"True, and I do look a lot better in the pink one." Mercy smiles. "You sticking with the belly dancer?"

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:08 pm

"It's that or the pirate ninja catgirl robot french maid. I might snag this anyway for a future occasion, I love costumes."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:13 pm

"Pirate ninja wha?" Mercy laughs. "You'd be explaining that one all night."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:15 pm

"Nah, I'd just make stabby motions with my feather-duster or sword until they got intimidated into liking it. Really, swords trump explanations any day."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:22 pm

"Zoe, you didn't get some kind of ferret based secondary mutation did you?" Mercy grins.

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:29 pm

"Uh.. that depends, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?" she grins impishly.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:36 pm

"I like you, but there's a lot of leap before you look going on." Mercy teases, lightly bumping Zoe with a half-extended wing.

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:40 pm

She grins at the bump, "Life's too short to be timid, yeah? Live it loud, live it bold, live it up!"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:49 pm

Mercy does her Emma Frost imitation, which is actually quite good. "Some of us dear, are reserved."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:55 pm

"Yeah, which is why she used to be the White Queen," she shakes her head and laughs, "I always did get in trouble for that. At least my marks were always good 'nuff that she couldn't make too big of a deal out of my attitude."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:11 pm

"She doesn't hate you at least. She just has... preferences."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:14 pm

"I'm sure you could tell me all about 'em," she returns a sly smile, "You two sure hit it off."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:17 pm

"It seemed like a good idea, and it really has been. Emma has taken pretty good care of me."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:23 pm

"No doubt! And she's also just hella impressive, I learned a lot from her, both from instruction and just watching."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:25 pm

"Yeah, she sort of ended up like an aunt or something for me." Mercy smiles.

"Anyway, I can't believe we get to go to a Stark party. How did the school hook that up?"

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:28 pm

"We sent in an extermination squad to deal with an attack on one of his facilities. I guess we made an impression. That or he wants more hot young things to ogle, never underestimate the eye candy factor."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:31 pm

Mercy scrunches her nose. "Hmmm, he's a little old for me. I mean, he is really well connected and amazingly rich, but I don't think I could do it just for that."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:33 pm

"I'd totally do him," she giggles, "But yeah, he is a lil old."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:34 pm

Mercy laughs. "What do you think the policy at the party will be on weapons? I'm wondering if I should pick up a sword for my date's costume, or if we can get a real one from the armory."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 3:18 pm

"Huh. Good question. You might be able to get away with a sword, I'd guess guns and stuff would be right out. Prolly easier to get forgiveness than permission, yeah?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 3:24 pm

"My guy is pretty by-the-book, I don't know if that would fly with him."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 3:34 pm

"Well, you can always ask someone on Stark's staff. Who's yer boy?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 3:44 pm

"Juma." Mercy gets a bit of a silly grin on her face and is chagrined to discover that she's not even horrified about that.

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:03 pm

"Mmm, he's pretty cute, for a tall guy. A lil sedate for my taste. Or would that be Reserved?" she concludes in her best (not as good as Mercy's) Emma Frost imitation.

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:11 pm

Mercy smiles, and sighs happily. "Very reserved. And so beautiful...."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:19 pm

"Yer not worried about his feline instincts going the wrong way over your wings?" she giggles, "Though I guess you're not really that much like a bird."

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:25 pm

"No, not so much. I don't even really fly by muscle power, I'm way too wimpy for that."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:41 pm

"Huh. Well, if you ever wanna change that, I'm workin' out regularly now. Does wonders for muscle definition, yeah?"

by **Mercy Wilkins** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:47 pm

"It looks good on you, but I think I'm allergic to sweat." Mercy teases. "Besides, I can just let the Darkforce do all the work."
