Entry 009 [Visual] Nightmare Night Costume? Plus Private to Bon Bon

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Does anyone know where I could get a costume in my size? I'm afraid I have no idea of what I should even be... This holiday is completely unfamiliar to me.


[Private to Bon Bon]

This might be rather short notice, but do you think you could make a rather large order for me before the Nightmare Night party?
I was hoping to bring enough candies to share with everyone...

[Billy smiles and offers a thicker stump, with a writing point on the end.]

Does this help?

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[It's a bit awkward, but he does manage to get a hold on the bigger piece.]

It should...

[He spends a bit of time fiddling around and sketching, ending up with a rough sketch of Billy in what looks like an old fashioned set of fantasy style armor.]

What do you think of that?

[triceratrots]

[Billy considers it for a moment, then nods enthusiastically.}

I'll do it! Now I just need to draw up specific blueprints and get to work on forging.

[He levitates his measuring tape and adjusts his glasses.]

This shouldn't take too long.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[Skyfire shakes his head.]

If you'll draw up the blueprints and measurements... I can do most of the forging for the both of ours if you'll help with the details and fiddly work?

[He was fireproof and good with metals after all.]

[triceratrots]

That'll work out perfectly.

[Billy is really glad he picked up an extra-long measuring tape. It wraps itself around Skyfire in a few places, with Billy stopping to scratch out measurements every now and then.]

I'm a little excited now, honestly. It'll be by far the best costume I've ever had. We should win something!

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[Blink, blink, blink... and a confused look.]

Win? You win something for dressing up?

[It's the first he's heard of that.]

[triceratrots]

I'm not sure, but back home, we usually had costume contests for Halloween. With prizes for the winners.

And if there is, we have a fair shot.

[He snaps the measuring tape excitedly, scratching down a few more things before starting to twist it around himself.]

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Oh.

[He shrugs now that the tape measure isn't floating around him anymore.]

If there was ever anything like that on my earth, I've never heard of it. [Not that anyone would have invited him anyways.]

[triceratrots]

It only happens once a year, so it's not really a big occasion.

But we'll do our best!

[He was so pleased with himself that he ended up rather tangled in the measuring tape. It took a minute to get himself back out, oops.]

Maybe we can even make a grand entrance to the party.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[He looks confused, but nods. He's not sure how organics celebrate, so he'll just take Billy's word for it. Skyfire does chuckle when Billy gets tangled in the tape measure and tries to help him out of it.]

Er... Grand entrance?

[That was something he wasn't quite too sure on. He was never a very flashy person, even before he ended up on Earth... even less now... but... if Billy really wanted to show off, he supposed that he could grin and bear it.]

[triceratrots]

We can walk in with our heads held high. Like we're really performing a role, right?

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

I suppose so... I've never done anything like this before, so I'm not sure what's appropriate to be totally honest.

[triceratrots]

Then I'll lead the way, don't worry.

[Now free from the tangled tape, Billy happily rolled up his scroll and gave Skyfire a friendly nudge.]

But I think it's time I got started here. There's so much to do and so little time before Halloween---er, Nightmare Night.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

[A chuckle and a friendly nudge in return... plus a big dragon nose snuffling at the plans. Being careful not to wreck them of course.]

Come on... show me the plans. I'm not going to let you do all the work.

[triceratrots]

All right, all right!

[Billy laughs and uncurls them for him.]

There. There's our roadmap. Now let's do this!

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Hmmmm....

[He gives the plans a once over, then grins.]

I think I have just the metal for both of our outfits... and I can provide the flame too.

Perhaps my workshop would be the best for at least the basic forging? It's still nothing fancy, but it's big enough for the both of us and the work...

((ooc: Fade out here with Billy's tag, or go a few more?))

[triceratrots]

Then that's where we're headed. It'll be done before we know it!

[Billy rolled the plans up, grinned, and almost bounced toward the exit.]

((fadeout here is good, yup!))
