Pick Your Poison, Wednesday

[myownface]

You know, for a guy who went to school for costume design, who absolutely loved this damn holiday, you'd think that Sparkle would have put some mad effort into getting his costume done in time for today. But between worrying about Atton and being a weasel for like a week, any of his really worthwhile Halloween prep time had kind of fallen to the wayside.

So he was at work dressed as himself, but three years younger, donning an old studded jacket he hadn't worn in forever, spiking his hair as best as he was able considering it was so much shorter than it used to be, wearing the dark eye make-up. And he had his stuffed black cat clinging to his shoulder, pretending it was Velcro.

There. Costume complete. This entire month had been an absolute clusterfuck and so many plans had fallen to the wayside as a result, but at least he'd managed that much.

Anyway, he was here, and he had the little soap packages that Fenris put together last week to hand out if anybody stopped by to trick-or-treat. Maybe during his break he'd go buy a shitload of those sticky toffee candies and see how many he could eat before his teeth tried to escape his head.

Halloweeeeeeen.

Blackstone Foundry and Forge, Wednesday

[built_fjord_tough]

Fjord was only dimly aware of any sort of holiday today, mostly by virtue of movie night last night. And, since it wasn't his holiday, and he figured he hadn't been told to do otherwise by Amaya, he was dutifully showing up for his shift (and his lessons) at the Forge.

He'd started on a sword last week. This week he intended to make some progress on it. But first, a check to see if there was any other work left out for him to do today before he got lost in his own project, which meant he was sharpening a few blades and then gathering some scrap steel all into one place to be melted down for use later.

It still wasn't life on a ship, but at least it was keeping him busy. He appreciated that.
