second hop

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

[...he just had to be lured in by the plaque, didn't he? As if getting hit by a train but not being hurt at all was strange enough. Now he was wearing a girl's uniform, which is humiliating enough without the fact that he can't get it off.

Did I mention he can't get it off?

So now he's stalking down the path to the Ermis Suites and down the corridors to lock himself in his room for the duration of the night. Unfortunately there's the problem of being seen in said girl's uniform while he's doing so, though he does try to hide his (rather pink) face with his curls. If anyone decides to try to approach, they may hear him muttering the following.]

Please let this be over soon...

[As for any intrepid trick-or-treaters coming by his room for candies once he gets there, sorry, he's not coming to the door. Go get it from someone else, he's wallowing in his misery here. You could try to break down the doors, though all you'll see if you do so is a very unhappy Barnaby in a girl's uniform, and no candy in sight.]

Please get out of my room. I don't have any candy and I'm not going to let you make a mess of my room because of it, either.

[Someone's not in the Halloween spirit. Ironic, considering he was born on the holiday, though he doesn't remember that quite yet.]

*Well, there's only one person you shouldn't run into in that state.

So naturally, guess who you've just run into.*

...This is way more about you than I needed to know, Lil' Bunny.

*Pfffffffffft.*

[WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO HIM

...welp. Trying to pick up the shattered pieces of his dignity is hard work, but someone's got to do it.]

I'm not in this uniform because I chose to wear it, old man.

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Sure, sure, I believe you. Nobody CHOOSES these sorts of things. Well, don't worry, I'm 100% supportive of whatever you feel you need to do.

*Yeah, he's taking this one for all its worth. Baaahahahahahaha.*

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

[You are a jerk, old man.]

I'm serious. I wasn't even going to celebrate Halloween, anyway.

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Not celebrate Halloween? Aw come on, Halloween is great! Parties, and costumes, and trying to scare the crap outta people. Why wouldn't you wanna celebrate something like that?

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

Because...

[...huh. He doesn't really know why.]

...I don't know. But I'd rather not.

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Well geez, you're not just going to sit around in your apartment on a day like this, are you? There's lots of things going on!

...okay, granted going out like THAT is probably awkward, but hey, if you keep a sense of humor about it anything works!

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what I'm going to do, especially now.

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Geez louise. Bunny, you gotta open up more, meet more folks. We're all working together on the amana thing, so why lock up when off the clock?

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

It's anemoi.

[Not even going to answer the question.]

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

That's not the point!

[No sooner had he recovered from being a raven than he'd found himself put into what he considers a ridiculous outfit (http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af325/Inez_Valdez/Higurashi%20no%20Naku%20Koro%20ni/sample-71cbf3ec4ada800d3197bbc02cf7.jpg), but he's trying to pull it off with as much dignity as he can manage, wounded dignity though it may be. He can't help but notice the other man on his way home. Here, at least, is someone to commiserate with.]

Good evening. We seem to be in a similar situation. [Is this better or worse than being a raven? He can't decide.] I was going to make myself a pot of tea. Would you care for some?

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

[Sigh. At least one good thing's come out of this.]

Yes, thank you. [Would've been nice if it was rose wine, though.]

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

My pleasure. At least we can avoid the public eye until this is over. My roommate likely won't be in. [Both of them keep odd hours.]

I hope that when the day is over, these odd effects will fade as well. I've never before encountered clothing that can't be removed. I'm quite sure these things don't happen where I'm from.

[Yuri has nothing against wine in general, but he drinks alcohol rarely, and tea is his go-to comfort drink.]

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

So do I.

[Brushing down the skirt, because at the very least he can...try not to accidentally flash anyone.]

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

I am optimistic, however. Earlier, I was actually turned into a bird, and even that much more severe effect faded.

So I wouldn't worry too much, Mr. Brooks. [His usage of the name is automatic, and he doesn't think about it, his memory regain from his bird adventure starting to slowly take effect.]

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

...a bird. How did that happen?

[And then the name sinks in. Mr. Brooks? He raises an eyebrow at the name.]

Mr. Brooks?

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

It's a long story, and unfortunately, one that makes little sense. I seemed to be caught up in a fairy tale of some kind, as absurd as it sounds.

[The memory of the name having returned without context, more or less as it had with Kotetsu's name, for a moment, Yuri isn't exactly sure where or when the memory is from. He's only sure of one thing:]

Barnaby Brooks, Jr.--that is your name, isn't it? [He frowns, thoughtfully, only then realizing that the man had not introduced himself that way.]

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

[Ruby is in a similar situation. (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080305040441/shadowhearts/images/thumb/1/10/Anastasia.jpg/300px-Anastasia.jpg) After the humiliation earlier though, he's not doing anything to hide himself. Just crying inside.]

Why me? Why is it always me?

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

[He can sympathize.]

...it could be over soon.

[...oh who is he kidding?]

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

I hope so. I really don't want to be stuck wearing this for a week.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer not to be wearing this for a week as well.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

Knowing my luck we probably will.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

...I hope not.

[He'd rather not have to stay in his room for a week.]

[Booster lucked out in the costume draw, scoring a pretty classy green tuxedo.]

Wow, green's not my color, but, hahaha, it looks like I got pretty lucky.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

Some of us don't share your good fortune, from the looks of things.

[This is embarrassing. He wants nothing more to do than go back to his room and lock the door.]
