Monday DE: 'Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas...

[splash_of_blue]

Good Monday, cats and kittens! And welcome to Halloween Week at Milliways.

That being the case - what are you planning to do for Halloween in the bar? Costumes? OOMs? Conversations With Dead People? Do you have any Halloween events from years past that you still remember fondly?

If you're in one of the countries that celebrates in real life as well, feel free to talk about your own plans, too.

I'd like to put Bastion in one of their legendary-tier alternate skins, probably one of the wooden ones, but I'm not sure if I'll have time. I'm going to Fright Nights at the PNE IRL the day before Halloween or thereabouts (I tried going on Halloween night once a few years ago and it kind of sucked, because there's a limit to how much customers are allowed to dress up), and maybe the Stanley Park Ghost Train thingy on the night itself if I can swing it, and a friend of mine is running a Don't Starve Together server Halloween night as well. And I still have to finish my costume, which is Wilson in his original Forge skin. I just need the flowers for the Living Staff and the furry vest.

Mostly I've been sleeping excessively and at inconvenient times, which is why I haven't been in the bar much either. (Question for the floor, would you rather I resume or drop the two-week-old threads from Bastion's last EP?)

I haven't decided if i wanna be sorta mean and put Klaus in a suit (like, as formal as it gets, how many layers and fiddly bits can I find sort of suit)... or if I want to put him back in the shorts and domino mask and let him sulk. OMG will he sulk.

Cassian's going to be wearing a French Resistance outfit and Quentin's going to do something, possibly matching Yamato. I don't have any ideas yet for Conversations with Dead People.

There's an alum night for the university I went to in New Zealand on Wednesday but otherwise I don't have any big plans.

I have no plans for my current pups, but I do hope to bring in a witch and a ghost if I have the energy and time when they get approved.

I'm trying not to be grumpy that my work already had their Halloween fun while I was out on vacation last week. I even had a plague doctor mask and a plan for a plague doctor on vacation, but alas.

I've run out of ideas for Emcee, so I pose this question to you all: what would you like to see the Bar dress him up as? It's going to be pretty difficult to annoy or embarrass him, so I would love to hear your best/worst suggestions.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Left Shark.

[i_am_your_host]

He would probably perform a Katy Perry song and still make it work somehow.

[skyhigh_seance]

Priest.

Klaus will laugh forever.

[i_am_your_host]

Ooooh, it's gonna get blasphemous up in here.

[ceitfianna]

Hm, he's tricky because so much works on him.

Has he ever done a version of the Nightcrawler look? Maybe not the blue but Kurt in X2 has such a great suit. Ooh, he could also do a great Jareth the Goblin King, really anything Bowie. I know he's done some Bowie but Bowie does have a lot of looks.

Or there's the kind of mythological route, put him in some furry pants and horns to be a satyr or a couple of loose drapings and gives him a bow to be cupid. Or go the other way and put him in more historical, Regency dandy kind of look with the skin tight pants and riding boots, maybe more the Colin Firth Darcy look, tight pants and boots, flowing shirt. That way it can play with his fashion in that tight and loose way he loves.

All of these are so good! I feel like any one of these could turn into a related musical performance as well.

[childofrebellion]

Oh yes, need to have that musical performance and then his fans can help him out of his costume.

[bjornwilde]

How about Alan’s look in Plunket and MacCleane?

I can see an Adam Ant number or the like.

A nice obscure choice! But I already did that outfit, I think it was for Mardi Gras a couple years ago. (Goody Two-Shoes would've been a perfect song!)
