.:009:. - Of Costumes and Couture

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

[A certain witch pops into the Plane yet again, carrying a full-sized mirror. She sets it up and adjusts it, nodding in satisfaction. With a smile, Willow proceeds to pop in and out of the Plane, in different costumes.

A cat, complete with fake hand "paws".

A maid, with a skirt she feels is far too short.

A football star, the shoulder pads almost making her fall over.

A witch, complete with fake crooked nose (to which she mutters, 'oh heck no').

A devil (with horns).

An angel (with halo).

And finally, a Jester, complete with the bell hat.

Looking defeated, she finally pops in and out one last time, back in normal clothes as she flops into a chair with a sigh.]

So. Anyone else having trouble finding a costume?

[Well, Chris was amused at the witch one, at least.]

Costume?

[mercwamouth]

...Are you the friend of the vampire chick or the girl who goes to Band Camp?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

The Devil one was a bit silly, wasn't it?

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Halloween's next week, and I seem to be failing at finding a costume I like.

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

... Say what?

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

I think it was the fact that it was little more than a red bikini with a tail and horns that did it.

[ghostlighter]

... Really? It's December for me. [Then again, Henrietta already had Christmas by now, so...]

Could always just go as a bedsheet with eyes.

I tried that one year and actually became a ghost, so... Not sure if I'm ready to risk that again.

Then again, that was back in Sunnydale, so...

[ghostlighter]

But any of the other costumes are worth the risk? [He doesn't seem phased that it happened, though. It actually seems quite reasonable to him.]

Sunnydale?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

The sequins weren't much help either. You'd be the Liberace of Hell.

...well, the second Liberace of Hell, anyway.

[mercwamouth]

I'll make this simpler... can you play the flute?

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sunnydale, California. It was built on a Hellmouth, and now it's a crater.

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

Not last I checked.

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

But wasn't Liberace a fashion icon?

[ghostlighter]

I used to live in California, and I've... never heard of a Sunnydale before. What's a Hellmouth? Just what it says on the tin?

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Why do you think he ended up Down Below? Up Above hasn't got anyone half as interesting.

Unless you've got a thing for choreographers.

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

Tin?

And no, it's basically a place of increased supernatural energy, an area in which the barriers between dimensions are weak. The Hellmouth has a focal point, which serves as a portal between earth and Hell.

I had an interesting time during my high school and college years, as you can probably guess.

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

Are we getting into High School Musical territory?

[ghostlighter]

... Never mind.

Sounds like it. [Blink. Blink.] What was that you were saying about it being a crater now?

[mercwamouth]

OK, that's less awkward.

...It's Willow, right?

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

Well, the Cliff Notes version is that crap happened and Sunnydale was sucked into the Hellmouth. So, now, Sunnydale is gone and all that's left is a huge crater.

[hexhax.livejournal.com]

... How'd you know that?

[ghostlighter]

... With everyone in it?

[mercwamouth]

Process of elimination.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's a Disney thing isn't it? I'm a bit out of the target demographic of that one, I think.
