Ellic was not sure he liked this thing that Indu, his host mother, called "Halloween." She had told him that a costume was required and that he was going to have to pick something out. He didn't see the point in this, since according to the extensive research he'd done on the subject, All Hallows Eve had nothing to do with frivilous costumes and candy. He suspected that Indu was using it as an excuse to make the children leave the house. At least no one had come with him.

So here he was, staring at rows of fabric in a store. The plastic and cheap garments he'd seen in the convienence store were not at all appealing to him, and he'd quickly realized that he was going to have to make something on his own, however, he had no idea what he wanted.

Offline
Chains clanked on the ground as Rene surveyed the store's selection of zippers. Holding a picture of Catwoman in one hand, she tried to find the best match. As this would be her first halloween, she was going to do it right, damn it.

Choosing one, she moved over to the fabric and nearly ran into the dark demon, veering into a rack of fabric to avoid him. Gauzy pink fabric fell over her face and she peered up at him. "s**t." She growled, swiping the fabric away. "Uh, hey."

Ellic was distinctly pleased that Rene hadn't run into him, and therefore blinked down at her, almost smiling, yet not offering a hand to help her up. She could handle that just fine.

"Hello. Are you shopping for Hallows Eve too, Miss? Oh... Excuse my lapse of manners, I am Ellic."

He bent to pick up the picture on the ground and raised an eyebrow at it curiously before holding it out toward her.

"My adoptive mother tells me costume is required for this event, though I do not see it's purpose. Might you explain it to me?"

Offline
Rene pushed herself up onto her feet, rubbing her back. "Oy." She said with a bob of her head. His speech somewhat surprised her, as her own had deteriated in her falling. "Nice to meet you, Ellic. I'm Rene."

She accepted the picture back and stuffed it into her pockets. "It's an old custom, warped over the years. Children, or adults in some cases, dress up and walk from house to house, asking for candies or other treats. I think it has traces to the old customs of dressing like monsters so that the creatures that came out on Hallow's eve wouldn't realize you weren't one of them. Now, it's just a reason to act dumb and eat candy."

"I am delighted to meet you, Rene is a beautiful name. However, I still do not think this is worth the effort of creating a costume. I am not particularly interested in candy."

His fingers brushed over some fabric, and lingered on a dark one with stripes thoughtfully, perhaps this would be appropriete?

"Must one dress as a monster? And is this walking required? I prefer to stay at home."

Offline
"Thanks." She said, somewhat surprised. She didn't get compliments much, expecially about her name. "It got me thrown out of heaven."

Uh, right. That wasn't something you just talked about freely. Probably weird the guy you. Riiiight. Anyway: "No, of course not. It has changed quit a lot since the old days. Now you could dress as whatever you wanted to. I toyed with dressing up like a lead singer from a band I like, but I thought Catwoman sounded like more fun."

Ah, an angel, like Klaus, then? Interesting. He was now curious to know what his "friend" had done to be kicked out. Still, she had offered information, and he should too.

"I do not touch people and I do not particularly like them."

It wasn't just a creepy statement, it was the main reason he'd gotten kicked out of his home. He dislikes weapons, and wouldn't touch, therefore he couldn't do much to harm another. He didn't cause much trouble either, since he kept to himself.

"A cat woman? I know one of them. You are supposed to dress unlike you usually would, correct? Perhaps I shall put on more clothes for Hallows Eve..."

Glancing around for an idea, he spotted a small photocopied piece of paper out the window, attached to a telephone pole, with a man in a suit and hat leaning against a wall. Some musician. Perhaps that would suffice?

Offline
"Nothing wrong with that." Rene said, shrugging. "Most people are too touchy feeley, anyway. Expecially older women. Or younger sisters."

"You can dress like anything you want. I've seen pictures of people just wearing a shirt that said 'COSTUME' on it. Most people like to go all out and show off, though. Hell, you could probably go naked and no one'd raise too much of a fuss. My 'aunt's going to be just about naked in her costume."

"I usually do go around naked, so I think that more clothes would be appropriete for a 'costume,' no?"

Lifting his fingers from the fabic, Ellic turned his light eyes on Rene, brow slightly creased as he frowned slightly, disliking to ask questions.

"Might you know where one could aquire a firearm?"

He thought he had an idea.

Offline
"I bet everyone at your house loves you for that." Rene snickered slightly, immagining the response Conan, for example, would get if he walked around naked. Screaming and lamp throwing would probably follow such an act.

"Depends on what kind: Pistol, Shotgun, Muzzleloaders are a lot easier to aquire than a machine gun. We've got the first three at home in a gun cabinet in my house, but you'd have to go on the black market for the illegal types." Not that she'd done reserch, or anything.

He stayed in his room most of the time, so no one cared. Except for Indu, of course, who was currently trying to control the rampant nudist colony growing in her home. He nodded slowly, turning her answer over in his mind before actually smiling at her.

"You seemed well versed in a subject I am keen on. Perhaps you can help me obtain one of these less common objects? I must admit that I know nothing of this 'black market' although I have heard mention of it in many texts."

Rene seemed to know a lot for someone his age, though he knew she was older. Much like Klaus. It was good to form favorable relations with such individuals, especially when they could give to one another.

"In return, I shall help you with anything you ask."

Offline
Holeee s**t. It appeared that Rene had at least made an ally of sorts, maybe a friend. That was more than unusual, expecially since she'd allready reached her one-friend-per-yer quota with Eban, and both liked her intrest in guns. Pffft. And Jeane had told her being voilent wouldn't make her any friends.

"Yeah, I think I could get you one. The 'Father' of my family's pretty good at getting stuff he shouldn't be able to get. And he's real easy to get stuff from, once you know the proper way of approaching him." Namley, calling him Daddy, making big eyes, and screaming untill you got your way. She'd watched Mignon many times, and that's what allways got the onion girl a new outfit.

"I don't need anything, really." She said, shrugging. "Unless you know of some people who're good at music. Been thinking of scraping a band together, since playing the drums is one of the few things I'm decent at. Nearly suffocated myself at pottery."

"That would be most pleasing! Thank you! I might be able to return your favor, Rene. Two of my sisters are very passionate about their musical pursuits. Neme loves the guitar, and can sing rather well, she's a teenager, however, Yael-Krie is a musical genius, but unfortunately, she is naught but a toddler."

Ellic bowed slightly to her in gratitude, something he'd picked up from Klaus in their first encounter and smiled, surprisingly happy with meeting a living being.

"It shall help me greatly with my costume."

Offline
Rene smiled at Ellic. "No problem, my pleasure to help. If you leave me an address, I could send it to you when Dhee gets it in." Because there was no doubt in her mind that he would get the gun. After all, Jeane had told him not to buy her a gun, not that he couldn't buy a gun for Ellic.

"I can't wait to see the finished product." She grinned

Ellic produced a pen and small notebook from his pockets and scribbled his address and phone number down before holding it out to her, surprisingly unguarded with his movements since he knew she wasn't going to touch him without his permission.

"I will be sure to show you, I would also like to see this 'catwoman' you shall become. I believe I will be using this fabric and... That image,"

He pointed out the window to the ratty paper attatched to the telephone pole.

"It is public, no? I may take it?"
