Halloween
"...to skin. You are so lucky uncle JC gave us spirit glue!" Iri laughed. "Really, 'cause Elmer's wouldn't have cut it!"
Niki laughed, "I know, just keep it up! We only have like two hours until the boys come!" And then the trick or treating started!
"You're going to freeze," Irias snorted, laying another line of plastic, copper scales along her friend's arm.
Ehhh, "nah, I'll just keep moving a lot! That's why there was glue, so I don't shed stuff every time we stop!"
Iri rolled her eyes, "you're lucky my costume is simple this year. Do your parents know what you're wearing tonight?" Or not wearing really?
Very not wearing. Niki had a long, golden silk sash knotted across their hips and that was...all. There was copper glitter in their hair and darker copper paint on. Add scales, well, the world was lucky Niki was only a kid. "I told them I needed the glitter and paint? I mean you and Kir are doing a pair outfit, only makes sense Bantii and I do too!"
"But why..."
"He got a Pungi to play with!"
What? Iri paused, looking up, "what the heck is that?"
"A snake charmer's flute! So I'm a snake!" Made sense to her!
Iri chuckled and finished her friend's arm, then the chest up to neck and circling the face. "My dad likes to say we exist to give him heart attacks, but your parents are really going to flip."
"Naaahhhh. I'm totally covered!" In paint, plastic, and silk but hey. It was absolutely okay since they had adult escorts tonight right? Right! No one creepy was going to get through the shifter and fighter wall! And if they did auntie Khem would put them to sleep! "And wiggly!"
"Yeah yeah," Iri snorted, nodding and turning her friend toward the mirror, "you do final touches while I get dressed!" She and her twin were going as The Shining twins (she won the coin toss and Kir got to wear a dress).
"If you need help call me! I can tie your dress laces or something!" Niki grinned. "Tonight's going to be fun!" Test wiggling in front the mirror? Absolutely. Luckily the scales stayed put! Bonus!
"Hey, Uncle Asher and JC might come with us, bet they dress up too!"
"Duh, they live fancy!" Niki giggled. Oh, right, last touch, some plastic snake fangs! Which were...plastic vampire fangs with the bottom two points cut off but hey! Halloween was all about improvising!
