Closed phone call: Ilsa, Egon, Nall, Luka (if she's interested)

Ilsa told me about this "Halloween" thing, and I'm just... I mean... it's awesome! [He's all giddy, in need of some fun.]  I was thinking we could get together, plan out costumes, and I could design.  But I need some help -- there are supposed to be devices for sewing, and there must be sources for fabrics and makeup, and I'll need some shop assistants, if we're going to really put on a show.

So -- I've cleared out space in the garage, and we can work there and set up a shop.  Come on over!  Bring food: all I've got is Mayfield standard, here....

Oh man, something for my human form... you ever see people's pets running around in sweaters and hats and booties? A part of me wants to laugh hysterically, another part of me feels... just plain bad for them. Glad Alex and his family never submitted me to that...

Aside from that, I'm not really sure what kinda costume to wear... got any ideas?

Hmmmm. Would you like to mirror either of your other forms? It would be fun to do a cat or a dragon costume. But I can see reasons to avoid that... which leaves a world of other choices. I'm not sure in Mayfield I would want to be a monster, if I were you: too many people might assume it was the real thing, and start firing. But -- there are fun things, like robots...I could make you the most awesome robot costume. Or classy things: you want to be a French Aristocrat? Or a Renaissance Lord? Or a knight? Or Fred Astaire in a tux?

A knight... A knight. I kinda like that idea... you think it'd be hard to make a costume for that?

Oooh, it may be hard...ish. But *fun*. I can do that.

Europan knight, or Asian or middle eastern? Metal or chain under a burnoose, or lacquer armor? Zweihander sword, or scimitar, or jian?

Tell me your dreams, friend, and I will see what I can devise...

[His voice is excited, and even a bit gleeful.]

[Nall chuckles, glad at Tarvek's enthusiasm.]

I'm not really sure what a Europan or Asian or middle eastern knight would look like... I'm comfortable using a double-handed and edged sword though. Light armor would be best, easiest to move and function in...

[He's making happy, bubbly designer-noises, muttering a bit, with the sound of the pencil scrabbling in the background.]

Ok, Ok, I think I have some ideas. Tell you what, give me a few hours, then come on over and I'll show you some drawings. Maybe even a mock-up, if things go well.

A mock up? That fast?

Ha, what am I saying? It's you. Alright, I'll stop by in a few hours... with some food. Tuna noodle casserole sound good?

[He has encountered tuna noodle casserole in Mayfield, and considers it strange, and very much a regional delicacy, but edible. (His mun, though, likes it quite a bit.)]

[He's already fading into work mode, though, and mumbles, mildly,]

Yes, yes. That will be good. Now, where did I put the aluminum foil?
