xp_daytripper | Bloody hell it's quiet around here...

Apart from weird poems from ~~nate~~ someone in people's journals and Doc Bartlett blathering about penguins, that is. Not even a spark at the news we've got a new arrival... Makes me almost want to say something shocking and disruptive to stir things up a bit. *grins*

Almost.

But, there is just three more days of grounding. Finishes up on a Friday, ain't that handy? What say people to some sort of outing Friday night?

Maybe we can leave threatening notes. "Think of fun things to do, or Blinky and George will eat your socks." Or at least Blinky.

The last time he did this, Jamie tied him to his desk chair and rolled him down the hallway. Actually, the last time Doug did this, we had the cicada bugs right after giving him headaches, but I do not think there are any loud noisy bugs right now.

George can just buzz them until they go spare. *grins* Sounds like a plan to me.

No, no bugs. Bats, maybe? Tho' he's not so much pissy and grumpy, just obsessive...

If Doug starts walking around in a cape and cowl, I am going to find someone to blame for it and make them very unhappy.

Doug as Batman? Can't see it. Might make a good Robin, tho', he's got the legs for tights... *flees*

From:

I think I still prefer the leather pants. Any leather pants.

If we had not already gotten most of the Halloween costume things already, I would try to get Doug to go as one of those comic book people he likes. But -not- Batman, or Robin.

That's because you're a perv. *grins*

Halloween... yikes, that's coming up, isn't it? Um, I'm guessing everyone is pretty much dressing up? (in other words, shite, I have to think of something and then talk Manny into something as well. Buggery shite.)

You should know this by now.

Halloween - that's the day before All Saints' Day, isn't it?

*nods* October 30th. Also known as All Hallow's Eve in pagan circles. Americans tend to celebrate it by dressing up in costume, eating a load of sugar and playing tricks. But it sounds like more fun than the usual robes-and-chanting. ;)

If you're not that hard to convince to dress up, there's a telly series I want to show you. I have an Idea for a costume for you that I think you'll like. Ever heard of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

From:

x-empath.livejournal.com

Vaguely. I know Jubilation has mentioned it a few times, and you've made snide comments about it.

But I've never actually seen it.

Should I?

I used to make snide comments, until Beth sat me down and showed me a bunch of episodes. The magic's... well, it's not always right, but it's closer than most. Not like that 'Charmed' show. *shudders* Gah.

There's one episode done as a musical, and there's a character in it I think you'd like. He's a demon, but he really knows how to sing and dance. ;)

From:

x-empath.livejournal.com

A _musical_?

_DEMONS_?

You know how I feel right now. Come show me this?

There's a few other episodes you should see, just so you know what's going on, but we'll get to that one soon enough. Up for a night in with the DVD player? I'll bring something to nibble on. And food too. ;)

... AHHA! I was right.

From:

xp_daytripper

*raises eyebrow* Right about what?

From:

x-tarot.livejournal.com

About why you were looking at red hair dye.

From:

xp_daytripper

*grins* Yep. That'd be it...

From:

x-tarot.livejournal.com

Oh lord. Now Doug has started on the accent again.

From:

xp_daytripper

Bored now. *grins*

Miss Edith says you are a naughty, naughty girl and there are to be no treats laterl

From:

xp_daytripper

That is _perfect_.

Remind me to coach Doug in how to say poofter proper...

From:

x-tarot.livejournal.com

So, for a night at least, you will be the red-head and I will have the dark hair.

That... is just amusing to me.

From:

xp_daytripper

It is, ain't it? *grins*

From:

x-tarot.livejournal.com

I am most certainly not. I simply have a strong appriciation for the fact that tight leather shows of the muscles in Doug's legs, is all.

In a month, and I believe most people are.

If it did not mean a dress, The Phantom and Christine might work well.

Oh! That reminds me. How familiar are you with temporary black hair dye?

From:

xp_daytripper

*grins* I'm the master with hair dye, you should know this. ;) Even the temporary stuff - you can get some that lasts a couple of days before washing out.

I've got a vague idea for Manny, but I have to show him a lot of DVDs first. And something for me, only I'll have to strip the black out of my hair so I can dye it red. Which the glamours'd work on me better, it'd be so much easier...

From:

x-tarot.livejournal.com

Actually, the problem is not the black, it is the blond. I do not think there is a way to lighten hair temporarily?

Maybe we should just take a few days before Halloween and do the hair dye in one big mass. I do not think it would be possible to talk Dr. McCoy into lending image inducers.

From:

xp_daytripper

Nate can strip dye out of hair - he did it for the Pixie after Jono's little joke. Dunno if that helps you - what's the blond for? I might be able to manage a glamour, depending on how much a difference we're talking here...

From:

x-tarot.livejournal.com

Dirty blond to peroxide blond. I think .. maybe we were thinking along the same directions for Halloween.

From:

xp_daytripper

Possibly. Well, for me, anyway. I was thinking along "The Wish" lines. Think Manny'd appreciate a certain outfit? ;)

From:

x-tarot.livejournal.com

I think appriciate is possibly not strong enough of a word.

I have to admit, Shinobi helped facilitate the larger part of Doug's costume. Otherwise I would not have been able to afford it.

Halloween... yikes, that's coming up, isn't it?

Blast, you're right...

Jamie, have you got and sort of Plans I should be aware of?

From:

x-crowdofone.livejournal.com

Well, I was thinking Crichton and Aeryn from Farscape, but then I let Jane borrow some of my comics and had another thought. Come find me and I'll show you? :)
