The causeway and beyond to Baltimore, Saturday

Hera was actually a bit excited about this. Sure, she had all of back home and the island, but still, living on a planet and never getting to see the rest of it was a bit annoying.

They'd hired a van for the day, and she planned to make the most of the opportunity. There would be shopping at one of these "malls", and then a Halloween party.

She hoped some other folks wanted to join them, especially the others who wouldn't normally be able to get out, either.

[Open post! Anyone is welcome, costumes encouraged, those who don't need costumes encouraged even more!]

Breq had heard about this, and while she knew costumes were expected at this festival, she hadn't had the time to find one, or even find out what kind was traditional. Perhaps someone would be able to assist, or perhaps she would be fine anyway. She just wore her usual clothes, and looked around for anyone she knew.

Kanan was wearing his usual garb today. Just... his face was green, with little black geometric patterns across his cheeks. Today he was Mirialan, apparently.

He turned a wry grin toward Hera.

"You know," he noted, "people are going to think I'm the one who didn't put effort into my outfit."

And she was going as-is.

For anything else you need!

I am hijacking this thread in order to save the world. ;)

“Hello.” Hera didn’t know her, but was perfectly happy to be friendly anyway. “I’m Hera. Are you coming with us?”

Hera grinned. “I tried to find something interesting at the scrapyard yesterday, but there really wasn’t a lot. Maybe I’ll find something at the mall.”

Our savior! :D

Breq was perceptive enough not to think Hera wore a costume.

"I thought I would, if you don't mind," she said. "I didn't have time to dress up, though, and to be honest I'm not really familiar with the holiday."

“That’s okay, me neither,” Hera said. “I just know people dress up, so if they see other species they’ll just assume it’s a costume. I’m taking advantage of it.”

She smiled at Breq. “Do you want to dress up? You don’t have to, but we were going to go shopping first, so maybe we can find you something.”

"I'd like that." It didn't matter to her either way (or so she told herself) but it was better to try and participate.

"People try to look scary, don't they?"

"The malls are way better for shopping than anything on the island," Kanan agreed with a nod. More like what we're used to. Kind of like a low-tech Nar Shaddaa. Less Huttish, though."

Malls smelled better.

Breq didn't know anyone so far, and considering this place it was hard to know whether people wore costumes or whether it was their regular outfits. She was going to assume that green-painted face with geometric patterns weren't what this person wore everyday, though, but of course she could be wrong.

"Hello," she said, face expressionless. "We haven't met, I think. My name is Breq and I'm not wearing a costume. Yet, anyway."

“I think so,” Hera agreed. “Though some of them just seem to go for...well, anything.”

And there were whole web sites of “sexy” things that shouldn’t be, but Hera was ignoring those.

“That can only be a good thing,” Hera said. The fewer hutts the better. “Do we need anything else we might be able to get here, or are we just seeing what’s there?”

"Hey, Breq," Kanan replied, giving her a smile. The expressionless face didn't bother him. Something about being Force sensitive just meant he could pick up on intent easily enough, anyway. "I'm Kanan. I'm, uh, not usually green."

It was a good color for him, though.

Breq probably wouldn't go for "sexy" either. "Anything," she repeated, expressionless. "That doesn't make it easy, but I suppose I'll find something. So, you're not from this world either?"

"I don't exactly have a shopping list," Kanan noted, "but I should at least get a proper costume before Tuesday. I kind of feel like Master Luminara would be giving me a look for this right now."

Then again, maybe she'd understand that it was more so that Hera didn't stick out than because he found Mirialans to be an amusing costume? He couldn't exactly ask her, so...

"I guessed," she replied, still expressionless. "Is that an appropriate costume, then? I'm not from this world, so I wouldn't know."

"I'm not really certain, either," Kanan admitted. "I'm not from around here, either. The green is more so that Hera isn't the only one running around looking near-human out there. And, uh, it was a little last-minute."

"Do you have any of the green paint left?" Breq asked. "So that I don't look like the only human." Kanan seemed friendly enough, so she didn't expect that question would bother... him? She looked a little closer. Yes, probably him. She would go with that.

Good call, Breq! Kanan nodded and reached into a pouch on his belt, pulling out a little bag with the face paint and a sponge to apply it with.

"As a matter of fact, there's plenty," he confirmed, offering it over. "I brought it along for touch-ups, but there's more than enough for the both of us."

Breq accepted the bag with gloved hands and opened it, taking out the contents. Applying the paint would probably stain her gloves, but she might be able to clean it off. Or it might be time to stop pretending to be Radchaai. She had been telling herself that now for a while.

Applying face paint without a mirror turned out to be complicated when you only had one body. She still wasn't used to it, not that she had ever had to paint any of her faces before.

Hera shook her head. "Kanan and I," she waved toward him, "are from another galaxy. We're used to a lot more species than just human. It's been a little strange being the only twi'lek around. What about you?"
