So I know that a good number of us are dealing with holiday related problems...

[Herself included, as evidence by her translucent ghostly appearance.]

But that aside, is anyone else planning on trick or treating?

Comments

[spoilsfun]

No.

[wizard_redfive]

[That earns him a glare across the room.]

Yes, you are.

[spoilsfun]

No, I am not. I'm staying right here.

[wizard_redfive]

No. Absolutely not. You can't just stay inside on Halloween!

[spoilsfun]

Of course I can. I'm already doing it.

[wizard_redfive]

Not for the whole day you're not!

It's time for costumes and free candy and grabbing apples with your teeth, man!

[spoilsfun]

Pass.

[wizard_redfive]

Powers that Be in a bucket, Conan!

Why can't you act like a kid and enjoy yourself this once?!

[spoilsfun]

As far as I can tell, this holiday involves dressing kids up in humiliating outfits and sending them off to beg strangers for candy. What exactly is there to enjoy in this?

[wizard_redfive]

All of it?!

You get to pick your own costume and, if you're really dedicated, make it. You get to stay up late, which is a pretty big deal when you're younger. There's pumpkin carving, parties, and chances to test your nerve!

...Plus, you could test your deductive skills by figuring out which houses have the best candy.

[spoilsfun]

Pass. I'd rather stay home and read.

1/2

[wizard_redfive]

Sorry, pal, but I can't allow that.

Up you get!

[Dairine leans forward to pick Conan right up off the floor...]

2/2

[wizard_redfive]

[...Only to have her arms phase right through him. Dairine pulls back quickly from the unpleasant sensation, hovering a bit higher than before and rubbing her forearms as through she felt a chill.]

[Whoops.]

[spoilsfun]

[Have an incredibly unimpressed look.]

I'm not going.

[wizard_redfive]

You are literally no fun.

[spoilsfun]

What gave you the idea what I was?

[wizard_redfive]

Oi, you don't get to be smug while agreeing with me on this!

[Now he's really getting under her skin. She swooshes across the room to her communicator.]

That does it.

[With a flick of her hand (and a little wizardry), the device turns on. Dairine throws Conan a sharp glance before making this call.]

Hey Kid! Get over here, the detective punk's being stubborn!

[spoilsfun]

What? Why are you calling him in on this?

[wizard_redfive]

Because apparently I need backup to get you anywhere.

[spoilsfun]

Maybe that was a clue that you should stop trying to make me go.

[wizard_redfive]

Not a chance, Conan.

[Dairine definitely isn't giving up now. Especially now that she's already called Kid.]

He's on his way. Better brace yourself.

[spoilsfun]

....I'm leaving.

[wizard_redfive]

Not without a costume, you're not!

[Though if he wants to leave the apartment, well, that is what she was aiming for.]

[spoilsfun]

I don't see how you're going to stop me right now.

Hope this is ok

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine narrows her eyes, then shoots a glance at Spot.]

[Suddenly an invisible kinetic force pushes at Conan, driving him back into his bedroom. Once he's inside, the door slams shut behind him. There's a scraping sound as furniture moves in the main room. Good luck getting out with the couch in front of your door, Conan.]

[spoilsfun]

[There is a cry of mixed surprise and outrage as Conan gets pushed into his room. Almost immediately there is the sound of a kick at the door.]

DAIRINE! Let me out of here right now!

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine crosses her legs and arms as she floats. Nope, she has no intention of letting him out. Just sitting here waiting until Kid arrives.]

You break that door, you're paying for it!

[It's his door, so Dairine doesn't care either way.]

[The door isn't about to budge with the large furniture in the way, certainly not with Conan's little kid strength. If he goes for the window, he will find it near impossible to budge as well. No matter if it is locked or not, the window refuses to move.]

[tuxedo_magician]

[ KID enters through the window, a bag under his arm. He brushes off his cape before glancing up at Dairine, his gaze flickering between her and the door. ]

Do I even want to know what's going on?

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine either looks rather spooky or extremely ridiculous, floating in the middle of the room cross-legged. Her expression is a mix of boredom and frustration until Kid enters the room.]

He wasn't cooperating. Drastic measures needed to be taken.

[She flicks one finger towards the door, and the couch scoots back into its original place. Dairine sinks for a moment before bringing herself back to eye level. She frowns down at her translucent body.]

This would have been a lot simpler without this nonsense.

[wizard_redfive]

[The feed focuses on Dairine's extremely cross expression... which is more see-through than usual.]

Hey Kid! Get over here, the detective punk's being stubborn!

[She could use some help.]

[tuxedo_magician]

[ Well, okay, this certainly wasn't something he was expecting to see today. ]

Since when isn't he?

[ Although he admits to being amusing that Dairine calls him for things like this. ]

Video to Kaitou Kid

[wizard_redfive]

Point, but I'm sorta stuck as a ghost right now so I can't get him moving!

[Ie: push him around.]

Video to Kaitou Kid

[tuxedo_magician]

I'm going to guess that he's refusing to one, go and two, dress up.

Don't worry, I have just the outfit for him.

[ A pause. ]

Actually, I have a couple - perhaps he should model them for you so you can decide which one is best.

[wizard_redfive]

Right on two counts.

[Despite her frustration, Dairine smirks ever so slightly. This is why she likes him.]

Sounds like a plan. I'll be waiting.

[While keeping an eye on the detective to make sure he doesn't run off.]

Video to Kaitou Kid

[tuxedo_magician]

Somehow I'm not surprised.

Give me a few minutes to gather all my supplies and I'll be right over.

Video to Kaitou Kid

[wizard_redfive]

Got it. You know where to find us.

Video to Kaitou Kid

[tuxedo_magician]

Of course.

Leave the window unlocked.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine flicks one finger to the side, off in the direction of the window. Although not seen on the video feed, the window latch turns.]

Done.

[tuxedo_magician]

[ He can't help but laugh at that. ]

Great.

[ Oh, Dairine, he knew he liked you for a reason. ]
