fun with costumes [OPEN]

Who: You! Everyone else! Oh and also Hornet is here too, somewhere.
What: Shopping! Costume workshops!
When: The days leading up to Halloween celebrations (23-29 October)
Where: Soleil and the Academy campus!



A. Shopping Trip

[ Soleil is buzzing with activity as students flock to prepare for Halloween. Whether it's to marvel at what other people have left behind, to marvel at what's been donated in previous years, or you're just trying to pick a costume at all, you have no shortage of creations to gaze upon - and no shortage of your peers to judge them, either.

You can sometimes catch Hornet here, in the days that come, squinting suspiciously at the insect costumes. She mutters and paces, tugging at them like they're personally offensive to her.
]

B. Necessary Modifications

[ For those of a more crafty persuasion, the Academy has opened some usually-vacant classrooms as a makeshift work area for designing and creating your own costumes, or making modifications of your own.

Hornet has taken over a corner of one of the rooms. She's almost a permanent fixture of the workshop, as she sews and cuts with an intensity she usually only reserves for battles.
]

C. Wildcard

[ You can use this to just bother Hornet, or make up your own prompts. Go wild and treat this as a mingle log! ]

A: A Shrimp With A Plan
[Becky came here with a pretty specific idea in mind, and has spent much of her time looking to find something that would work for what she's been considering. Whatever it is, she's found it now, and is carrying a somewhat-long, flat-looking box, as she follows along with some of the others that she had accompanied on this particular outing.]

B: That's Probably Overkill
[At some point after returning to the Academy, she's gone into one of the classrooms that's been designated as a workshop of sorts for costume creation and/or modification. Carrying a simple-looking (but somewhat-glittery) dress, some canisters of something, and a can of something else, she parks herself in one corner of the room, drags some of the desks around to ensure she has extra space around herself, and takes a paintbrush to the larger can and then to the dress for some not-immediately-apparent reason. In the moments after that...

That entire corner becomes a mess of sparkles.

Those smaller canisters were glitter bombs. She just glitter-bombed an already-glittery dress (and also herself in the process, but she doesn't seem to mind that right now).]

[Even Lia, known lover of all that is sparkly, has to take a Moment.]

... That is a lot of glitter. I have questions.
lifeforced: (deny)

[personal profile] lifeforced 2020-10-23 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
The dress didn't have enough. [Spoken as if this were 100% fact.] I need it as sparkly as I can get it.

[Valvatorez spent some time wandering around the workshop rooms for costuming. Halloween was, after all, his favorite holiday, and while he couldn't help in an official capacity planning for events? He certainly could admire and give advice to students and faculty about costuming and offering critiques of costumes. While he might not be the most fashionable of faculty (there was great competition with the likes of Ekkehardt, Avery, and Urtz, after all) he still had an appreciation and an eye for things.

He might be here to act as an advisor, if you feel so inclined.

Otherwise, Hornet being hard at work caught his attention quickly, and he paced over to her, taking a look over what she was sewing.]


My, but a glance tells me you've put an incredible amount of effort into this, Hornet.
arcadianvampire: (Surprise)

[personal profile] arcadianvampire 2020-10-25 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Hornet lifting the cape up gives the professor a better look at it. And he looks almost startled when he notices the beautiful, intricate weavings, practically scintillating in the fluorescent lighting of the room. From a glance, it looked impeccable. Up close, however, it was a work of art.]

...It's... immaculate?

[The daemon's seen a lot of things in his time, but...

...Maybe it shouldn't be so surprising, coming from a spider from Deepnest, but there it was.]


So I see. Is this a traditional ceremonial garb from Deepnest?

stavros: Kokoro annoyed. ([a] what did you do)

[personal profile] stavros 2020-10-23 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[costume-building: why]

[Being called out about her terrible costume last year and dragged to have people make something better this year is humiliating in any situation, but especially if the people calling her out and dragging her around are faculty. Kokoro kind of just wants to sink into the floor.]

Really, it shouldn't be such an issue...

[around town]

[She does manage to get out and look around the town, though, even if her costume's dealt with; it's probably good to see what everyone else is getting. She raises her eyebrows at a series of "sexy" costumes, clearly rushed to shelves, themed to the more famous members of the Daybreak faculty.]

That seems in poor taste.
buddinghopes: (oh this looks bad)

around town

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2020-10-23 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
To say the least...

[Lia's just very high-key "WHY THIS," looking at these.]

This is honestly kind of embarrassing...
stavros: Indignant. ([a] could you not)

[personal profile] stavros 2020-10-23 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I thought this only happened to politicians and actors!

[She covers her face in her hands.]

Or particularly stubborn memes. But still, not your actual teachers.

What's wrong is I think I may die of embarrassment. [sigh] Professor Cromwell thinks it pressing that I must have a good costume this year, nay, an astounding one to make up for the clearance bin sins of last year.

Nonsense, Kokoro!

[Valvatorez's retort was quick and firm, as he browsed through many different costumes on a rack, his gloved hands running over the fabric of several of them, testing their build quality and stitching.]

Halloween is an incredibly important and beloved holiday in this institution and an individual of your standing deserves, nay, demands, a costume of great worthiness.

The last one didn't even have the special sauce or the optional sauteed onions and artisan brioche bun!
stavros: Kokoro blushing indignantly. ([c] failtastic trainee)

[personal profile] stavros 2020-10-24 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
You could have stopped at the construction...

[She doesn't often look this embarrassed, but right now, she could sink into the floor.]

I know not even where I'm supposed to start with this if it's supposed to be so good!

[A classroom had suddenly gone from empty to active and it was the cause of much curiosity now, so a tiny bug peeked in. Needless to say they were quite amazed.]

[Alas, they had no costume, but they were more than happy to see what everyone else was working on instead. And sooner or later, they had an idea of their own. ...Or at least, that might've been why they were underneath a pile of scrap material, found from different stations.]

[Either that or a blob of fabric just became sentient enough to move on its own. It was a magic school so anything was possible.]
alreadyhuman: (♪ you've only had but a taste)

[personal profile] alreadyhuman 2020-10-25 02:07 am (UTC)(link)

That is about when the fabric starts moving. Or, well.

So far, no luck.]

Although to be fair, that likely seems on brand for the magic professor. As Urtz makes her way over to the sewing machine, she's practically vibrating from excitement. Not that she can help it; it's been a while since they worked on costumes together. Why, she feels just like a kid again!]
