Just to take your mind off the weird vampire things:

What would your ideal Halloween costume be?

[A pause in writing, because...]

Before anyone asks, Halloween is a holiday where I'm from where you dress up in a costume. Some places, kids go door to door and get candy by saying 'trick or treat'. It was an old holiday that celebrated something else entirely, but now it's just a candy holiday with spooky stuff like... well, vampires and ghosts as decor.

...anyway. Maybe we can dream up some costumes that get rid of those dream vamps with some cool power, huh? Feel free to tell someone their idea is silly or cool though, I'm not your mom.

yooo i never thought about the sandwich part
i just thought that it was a lame excuse for a costume!

you know imma be coming for ya if i was a zombie right shorty

[mwehehe]

I'd die really quick. I'd sprint for like, 400 meters and then perish right there. You'd shamble up and eat my brains before I could recover. You'd probably have your skateboards too... a skating zombie... that'd be terrifying, actually. Just the sound of slow wheels and "braiiiiins, yo.... braiiiiiins...."

[Don't mind it much if that's in her dreams broadcasting later—]

I guess you gotta be one for Halloween this year.

[If it did show up as her dream, he's going to regret making that joke.]

just 400? bet you can probably least reach 500 if i dont wipe out while chasing ya (ᵔ́∀ᵔ̀)
but imma bet your brains really tasty

aight if imma be a zombie whatchu gonna be?

[mwehehe]

You underestimate how in shape I am. I don't think I told you how long I slept after hacking something. Like, straight, no getting up really. If I did, I don't remember it. I just slept for literal days straight. If sleeping was a competitive sport, I'd come in first every time. Can't speak for how my brain would taste, but it'd probably be curry flavoured for how much I think about curry.

[Walking around is fine but running from something... that's asking a lot.]

Haven't really thought about it yet. I mean I HAVE but nothing concrete yet.

[stillarhino]

damn yo never thought something like hacking can take a lot outta someone
cause like i just thought you was sitting around while doing it the whole time you know?

whatcha got so far?
maybe i can help ya figure out whatcha want

[mwehehe]

I was at it from the second I was helped, basically, and that was... a lot. You know, the whole thing with mom. I tunneled pretty hard and then was just exhausted from climbing a whole pyramid and then fighting the hallucination.

After that it was just focusing on getting around their systems without getting caught. That can take it out of you! Now you know. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

Hmm. At first I thought something cool and cyberpunk-y but that'd just be like my Metaverse clothes or what I wear in dreams and nightmares here, so I can't do THAT. Then I thought about maybe doing something like a skeleton, 'cause reasons, but that's just a bodysuit and some makeup, pass. I could maybe go for like, some jrpg protag I guess, but fantasy-fied, but I'm definitely not a sword user for something like that.

[Is that too meta for her—]

late af

[stillarhino]

[He may not understand everything that goes behind what she does, but he does understand what it's like to laser focus on something. And trying not to get caught too? He could never.]

i ever tell ya yours hella amazing shorty?

[Because she is!]

it dont gotta be a sword to be all fantasy right?
cant ya just wave your hands round and say yous using psychs instead

[mwehehe]

Heh heh, thanks Bones. <(〃´∀｀〃)> It takes a lot out of you when you just... go at something nonstop like that.

Hmm. I guess I could be like, a magic user or something. Big hat and all. Be like that one character from that one light novel that yells out "Biiiiiiiig... BOOOOOOOM!!!!" when she casts magic.

[stillarhino]

i can picture ya doing tossing some kinda big fireball or something at baddies yo!
but i was thinking something more like someone who does healing you know?
