Sparky's Repair, Tuesday

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy was doing the mash. The monster mash. It was a graveyard smash.

It was Halloween and that meant dressing the two dingbots in silly costumes because he needed to release all those evil villain urges somehow. He taped a pair of wings to Emo's head and handed Goth a martini. They were the best Captain America and Iron Man costumes a pair of robots could hope for.

He even brought a bowl of candy into the shop for the off chance someone might stop by.



Sparky's is open for business!

Teddy was politely ignoring Anders being spooked by the register.

"And since no one ever eats them, they're free to take over when the time is right," Teddy said grabbing a chocolate bar and ripping it open. "Very clever plan."

Anders would appreciate it if he realized that was the case.

"So the big question is," he said as he popped a miniature Snickers into his mouth, "do we stand back and let 'em do it?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Do we have to eat them in order to stop it?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh, hell no," Anders said. "Not unless you want to turn into a talking candlestick and make the dinner dishes do a song and dance routine."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy grinned. "Good, because I don't know if I could do that."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"What?" asked Anders, grinning puckishly. "Be a candlestick, or eat those evil little not-candies?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Eat the evil not-candies," Teddy replied quickly. "I think I could handle being a candlestick. But I do a terrible French accent."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but it wouldn't be much fun, being a candlestick," Anders pointed out, scarfing down another Snickers bar. "You'd never be able to go out in the summer, for one."

Teddy grabbed a Blow-Pop and thought it over. "True, true. But staying in air conditioning wouldn't be bad."

ooc: halloween party time, want to continue this later tonight and/or tomorrow?]]

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but maybe boring after a while," Anders replied.

[OOC: Sure, works for me. Have fun!]

"Would candle!me be able to move around on my own, or would I just be a normal candle only, you know, me?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"That's a very good question," Anders said thoughtfully, drumming his fingers against the top of his helmet. "I mean, I've never known anybody who had that happen to them yet -- or lords, what if I have, and I lit them on fire?"

Teddy paused half-way through opening an Almond Joy. "I guess we just have to hope that nobody we know has been turned into inanimate objects."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"So far it's just been animals," Anders said thoughtfully, "but I might have to start wondering about inanimate objects that appear out of nowhere."

Teddy stared at his candy bowl and hoped that none of the sweets was actually Ranma, or something.

"So, what's your Halloween costume?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Costume?" asked Anders, blinking. "Oh, this isn't -- I wasn't dressing up as anything. Just a new outfit."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Teddy replied sheepishly. "Sorry."

At least he didn't ask where Anders bought that super scary mask.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Ohh, burn!

"It's okay," Anders assured him quickly. "I know, it's a totally different look for me."

He shrugged, and the buckles on the jacket jingled. "A little noisy, too."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Anders better get himself to the clinic because that was a third degree BURN. (Teddy-mun is street, street like concrete.)

Teddy grinned, but still felt pretty embarrassed. "Any reason for the new look?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

*dead of laugh, OMG*

Anders gestured toward the door, a broad grin spreading across his face. "My best friend Bridge built me this glider-thing. It goes pretty fast, apparently, so I figured I could use some riding gear."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Upon seeing the glider Teddy's first reaction was: 'Anders is the Green Goblin?!' Then he remembered that couldn't be true because that was Norman Osbourne. Minor crisis averted.

"You actually fly around on that?" Teddy asked.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"In theory? Eventually, yeah," Anders said. And anyway the glider was red. "Right now I'm still learning to ride it. It didn't exactly come with an instruction manual, so . . ."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Glider = Spider-man hating villain. True story.

"So, is the clinic on speed dial for you right now?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders paused. "You know, that's a good idea. Of course, that would also require me to have a cell phone . . . maybe I should get one."

He paused, then added in a mock-injured tone, "How come everybody assumes I'm just gonna hurt myself?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy gave Anders a look. "Maybe its the fact that you're going to be flying around on what's basically a floating skateboard."
