Halloween Costume shopping, help?

[Video / Goldenrod City Action]

How about this one?

[So asked as an adorable Prince outfit is presented for approval. By the way Eagle laughs and sets the costume back onto the shelf clearly that kind of outfit was not appreciated by whoever he was showing it to. ]

I’m not really sure what you are looking in the way of a costume. Some thing scary or something more debonair?

Is there a kind of costume that would earn you more candy when you go… what did you call it… ‘Trick or Treating’?

[The Pokemon running the camera nods and yips causing Eagle to look towards the camera. ]

What? You think I should get an outfit too? I really wouldn't know what to dress as. Maybe some one can suggest something?

[Still isn't sure what all this Halloween stuff is about but he's perusing the racks too. Might as well help Bakura find a costume too, right?]

This one... is. different.

[It looks like a scarecrow]

What about this one?

[The store was decorated accordingly and tried to make the place look spookier]

I don't think they have anything in my size [Offhandedly]

Nothing in your size… [Caught that. ] Are you thinking about dressing up too, Geo?

It does sound kind of fun, doesn’t it?

[Pawing through the racks… too small… a dress that would never do. Luckily for you Geo he doesn’t think pink ruffles really suit you. Ah, how about this? ]

I think it is a thief? It looks like it might fit you.

What? Me? [cough] We're here for Bakura right?

You think so?

[Tilts his head to one side and watches as Eagle digs for something]

Are those..... tights?

Tights? Really?
[Maybe he should have looked at the package more carefully! He was just so surprised to find something in Geo’s size that he really hadn’t paid much attention to that. ]

You don’t have anything to worry about, Geo. You could manage tights very well.

[Your fault! I was looking for a ’safe’ outfit here. ]

[Here, have a confused Rapunzel. Although, I'm sure that won't help you at all.]

...Costumes?

[Maybe not, but it should up the cuteness of this thread. ]

It is supposed to be the custom of Earth to dress in costumes for a holiday called ‘Halloween’ and then go door to door begging for candy or pulling a prank if they won’t give you any.
I don’t really know why they do that… but it might be fun to play along.

Maybe you would like to give it a try too?

[[Bakura, meanwhile, is watching this all with an impish smile.]] I don't know, Eagle, I don't think he's the tights type.

It isn’t something he would normally wear…

[Eagle agrees with this much. ]

…But it would help to show off his assets.

Halloween?

[Rapunzel's never heard of Halloween before. And she's from Earth. Speaking of...]

Wait... why wouldn't it be from Earth? People can't live on other plannets!

Assets? Manage them well?

[This is getting out of hand. Needs to steer this back in the right direction. Thank you for trying to help Bakura XD]

You still haven't found a costume you like yet, have you Bakura?

That is what they call it. I should ask Bakura if the name means anything… I’m sure he would know.

[Ah, this again. Forgive Eagle as he chuckles a little. He kind of enjoys surprising people with this one.]

Maybe you have never heard of people living on other worlds, but it does happen. For example I come from a world called ‘Autozam’, I have never even seen the Earth before.

I've never heard of Halloween before... Dressing up could be fun!

Autozam? That's not a planet!

[Rapunzel would know. She's charted stars.]

[[Damnit, Eagle--!]]

Aaaa... not yet! [[awkward awkward]] Most of the ones in this section seem to be pretty tame.

[[He hadn't even found an oni mask or simple ghoul costume! Just cutesy stuff...]]

[Two embarrassed people for the price of one. Satisfied Eagle puts the costume back onto the hook it came from. ]

Maybe they have another section with outfits that would be better suited to the one going to wear them?

[Searching around then. Baby, no. Ballerina, that would be for a girl. Zombie? That looks more creepy. ]

The more frightful costumes seem to be near the back.

[LOOK MUCH SAFER. A ghost outfit. Creepy looking with skeleton hands and a mask. ]

It comes in several sizes.

It isn’t a planet near Earth. You probably wouldn’t have heard of it.

[Totally agreeing on the Halloween could be fun bit. ]

What would you like to dress up as? They have all kind of interesting costumes here! Maybe… a vampire, or a ghost… something cuter like a Princess?

Is it in another solar system?

[...Does that make him an alien? He doesn't look like one.]

Oh, I don't know! I haven't thought of it. A princess could be fun!

It is. Autozam in is the same system with Cephiro… but you probably haven’t heard of that world either.

[Sort of…? He is still human but not from Earth. Not really sure what that makes him. ^^” ]

You are easily pretty enough to pull off a Princess. Everyone might think you really were one.

[Innocent flirt, completely unaware of the truth in that. ]

I haven’t decided what I should dress as either. There are so many possibilities.

Cephiro... Hmmm. How close is your sun from our Sun? [Because you totally know that, right?

She decides that you look human enough. It's not too big of a stretch to believe humans can live on different planets on different solar systems.

She gives a laugh, waving him off. It's okay, she's ignorant of the truth herself.] Oh, no. I don't think so!

Well, if I'm going as a Princess, you should go as a Prince!

Our sun is in an entirely different dimension from your world. The only way I have heard that it is even possible to go to Earth is through the use of magic.

[He laughs a little her reaction to the Princess suggestion. ]

A Prince? I suppose it is something to consider, but if the only outfit they have here looks like the one I found, maybe I should go as something else.

[Classic balloon-style pantaloons are not his style apparently. ]

Oh...

[She's a bit disappointed. She was looking forward to figuring out which start he was closest to.]

You can use magic to travel?

[She beams, blissfully ignorant of what the outfit even looks like.]

Oh, no! I'm sure you'd look good it in!

No, I can’t. I do know a few people who can, but there is no magic on Autozam. We have to rely on spaceships and mecha to travel between worlds.

[… Maybe it wouldn’t look that bad? Nah… *sweat drop* They are pretty unique looking pants…]

It might be a little much for me… Maybe I should find something a little simpler.

Spaceships? Mechas?

[From someone who lived in the late 1700's--early 1800's, she has no idea what this is.]

Something simpler? Hmmm.

[She takes a minute to think.]

...How about a knight? Or a pirate!

[And these are not really easy concepts to explain. ]

Metal machines a person can ride in that can fly and cover great distances very quickly. Maybe your world doesn’t have those yet?

[Back to the outfit choices! Ah, those do some better! ]

A knight or a pirate? I wonder if they have costumes like that around here. Thank you very much for the suggestions, I will look around and see if I can find any of those.

[She shakes her head.]

Nope! I've never heard of those before!

Of course!

[She beams, only happy to help.]

[[perks up, looking over.]] Aaa, that's much better! [[Screw the rack he was looking at, he's heading over to where Eagle is!]]

[Is so relieved for the subject change, you have no idea. Follows the boys over to the other rack]

So.. why exactly do people dress up for this holiday anyway?

Tradition? Maybe it is like a large fancy dress party.

[Holding up a new outfit. Scary reaper clown? Nah… maybe not. ]

Some traditions say that Halloween is the night where the vale between worlds is the thinnest so that the dead and demonic can walk amongst the living! So people would dress up to either blend in with the dead and not be cursed, or to wear something even more terrible to scare off the ghosts! [[so very very cheerful at this as he rummages through the rack. Skeleton, another ghost... ooo, a ghoul with a half melted face!]]

[He looked to Bakura as the holiday was explained. It didn't really sound like a good thing but the boy sounded so exuberant about it. So... that had to be a good thing, right? ]

I wouldn't want to be cursed..

We should definitely avoid being cursed.

[Happily agreeing after finding a cute cat outfit. Its strange enough to be interesting. ]

Then you should be sure to pick something really frightening!
