All Hallow's Eve
All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

Gio sighed. She'd never get Lotte's sense of humor. "Sengai's going too, right?"

"Just a moment!" Angelo calls from his bedroom, making sure his costume is arranged perfectly. Finally satisfied, he teleports into the open, bowing to Charlotte.

"Sir Gareth, at your service, milady." He presents her with a flower, for good measure. "You look lovely."

She laughed and took the flower smelling it, calling over her shoulder to Gio.

"Uh..Sengai has a thing? It'll be *fine*, I'm not me tonight! And there hasn't been a single assassination attempt to thwart."

Angelo gives his sister a crisp nod, appraising her own mode of dress as well. "I have it, as well as a copy of Charlotte's for good measure. Not a notary copy, but enough for basic verification."

And yes, tonight, Charlotte's safety falls upon Angelo. This is AWESOME.

"Angelo, you're turning into quite the accomplished little creeper..." But she smiled teasingly, leaning over to bump him gently to show she's joking. "So are you the virgin..?" She looked over his costume again, twirling a pigtail around a finger.

Angelo fidgets. "It's just an additional safety measure... in case anything happened to yours." He turns pink in the cheeks as she bumps against him.

He then clears his throat abruptly, fluster not dispelled at all by her hair-twirling. "Well... yes, quite possibly, but Gareth isn't quite famous for it. Gareth a nephew to Arthur, and known for being a very good knight, and also very useful with kitchen work. He also took very good care of princesses."

Aww....She actually blushed a little at that, whether he intended it or not.

"What about farm girls from kansas with kick ass shoes...?" She stuck out a foot that was decked out in a pair of red sequined Chuck Taylors she scowered the city for.

Angelo gives a compliant glance to her footwear, then smiles. "Well... there is room for accommodation of any lady in need, of course."

She linked arms with him, pulling him towards the front door. "Well lets get on it then...I want to get at least one lap of the island in and we've got a yellow brick road to find!"

"Well, a full lap of the island is a bit ambitious, even with my power, Charlotte, but I'm quite certain we can cover plenty of ground." He smiles and follows along happily.

Best. Halloween. Ever.

She happily headed down the street, glancing behind them nervously a little until they turned the corner and stopped as soon as they were out of sight of the embassy and she dropped the basket with the little stuffed toto dog and started pulling clothes over her head, and shoving the blue jumper into the basket, revealing a blue satin playboy bunny outfit, complete with ears she slid on over her head, pulling out the pigtails and touseling her hair before she exchanged her shoes for matching pumps and turned around wriggling her backside a little. "Did my tail get smushed..?"

"Charlotte? What are you-- Charlotte!" Angelo manages to yelp in surprise as the transformation is about mid-way through, which is about when he loses the ability to speak. That lasts through the remainder of the change, at which point he has trouble stringing more than a few syllables together, jaw hanging slack.

"Uh... no... it didn't.."

Add the little cuffs and the little bow tie and the look was complete. She took a second to make sure "the girls" were in proper position before she turned around with a face splitting smile, hands on her hips. "Are you ready to rock the cassba..?"

Angelo's mouth opens and shuts as he tries to find words. Words that are not panicked squawks.

She's... she's just so happy. Sensibilities are at war with propriety.

"You... that costume... aren't you cold?" Which is about as close as he can get to openly questioning her decision right now.

She leaned in close. "Absolutely freezing..." Which could be why she headed down the street at a quick, laughing gait, knowing he'd be close behind.

As soon as he can brain again, temporarily disabled after her moving in close, Angelo all but bolts after her. "Charlotte!"

He catches up and takes her arm protectively, still walking along with her. "Are... you're certain that's the costume you're wearing tonight?"

"Angelo! Are you suggesting I strip down even *more*???" She took his arm, walking close as she headed towards what sounded like a hell of a party comming from what suspiciously looked like a bar...what with "bar" flashing in neon above the door and all...

"No! No, of course not." He clears his throat. "I was... surprised. I thought you already had your costume decided is all..."

Gio is going to murder him. No one will ever find the body.

"Uh..." He can read the intrigue on her face. "I'm fairly certain we're not of age for that establishment."

"Hence, the boobs....Angelo, we have diplomatic immunity...I think having a beer is pretty low on the list of sins two kids could get into in a town like this..."

"...I don't understand." He furrows his brow.

"And... err... is sinning really necessary? I had a route for trick or treating all planned out."

He's fairly certain he's going to have to take action to defend Charlotte's honor if they go in there, and he'd really rather it not come to that.

"....you were serious about trick or treating...?" Because her new costume was a little above a pg rating. "I figured it was code..."

"Yes, I was, actually." He says, quietly.

Ultimately, chivalry (in his particular variant on it), prevails. "Charlotte, if going... such a place, is how you wish to spend the evening, I will be happy to escort you and see that no ill befalls you."

"No....no! You were excited to go trick or treating...let's go trick or treating." She took his arm again, heading past the bar enterence.

Angelo feels a considerable amount of weight fall off his shoulders. "Only if you're certain..." He states, but he certainly isn't dragging them back towards the bar.
