Please tell me costumes are going to be popular? [How can you not spend this month looking ghoulish?] I can help anyone who wants a more...magical...transformation. There are potions I can use and spells...

[No, no. Everyone should just say no to this man.]

I would love to see a few centaurs wandering about, wouldn't you?

I think costumes are popular? A lot of people do like to dress up sometimes...

[But his last suggestion sends Liora into a spiral of panic.]

C-C-Centaurs!? No-no-no! I don't want centaurs around here!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Dare I ask you what you have in mind, love?

[greatestgood]

They should be! Who in their right mind could hate being someone else or something else for a little while?

[Without any lasting regrets. Hopefully.]

You don't like them?

[greatestgood]

Magical creatures! Everywhere. Then, of course, I have plans for my costume for you.

[liorafae]

I...didn't know that they actually became something else when they dress up...

We don't like Centaurs...and they don't like us either.

That sounds amazing!

[Ace is so excited at the idea. While he loves his abilities, and he's comfortable enough with this body, the idea that he could be something else is mindblowing.]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

My costume? Dare I ask what you have planned?

[Video]

[greatestgood]

Not literally unless magic is involved.

Why is that? You seem perfectly wonderful to me.

[greatestgood]

You could, but you would end up blushing each time you saw me.

[greatestgood]

What shape intrigues you most, adventurer? [He brings out the Elder wand, smirking charmingly.]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Oh, now I must know.

[greatestgood]

[A few images are sent through the device - both of them smoky and obviously concocted from Gellert's powers.]

Two kings...

[Ace grins, visibly excited.] Can I be a bird of some kind, just for a while? I've wanted to fly with Marco, forever. The first time I saw him in his phoenix form I stared for ages until he teased me about it, because nothing I could ever be would ever be that amazing. And he's still that amazing! [There's a pause, and he's a little quieter after that.] He's my only family from back home left here, so it'd be something really special to do with him.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Ahh, I see. And how shall I wind up blushing, I wonder?

[greatestgood]

You haven't seen what is under the costumes.

[Video]

[greatestgood]

What kind of bird? Would you like to try being a Phoenix? [Can he figure that out? Maybe. Genessia is an amazing place.] I understand completely. But I warn you - flight is dizzying. You'll need to practice.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Oh my. I am quite curious now.

[greatestgood]

I might make you wait. [Because he's evil.]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

How naughty of you!

[greatestgood]

What else would you expect of me?

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Nothing less. I enjoy your wickedness.

[greatestgood]

I have to find some way to expend it or it will build up within me and I will explode.

[Video]

[burnt_offering]

You could do that? I knew you were amazing with what you can do, but I didn't think you could make me a phoenix! [Ace is practically bouncing, unable to sit still, he's so excited about this.] I'll practice, I'll be careful, promise!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

And dare I ask what would happen then?

[greatestgood]

Pranks. Elaborate pranks as far as the eye can see!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

What a terrible fate! And what sort of pranks would they be?
