Magic Box | Tuesday

[scarlet_chaos]

Wanda had found out that there were specialty websites that sold big hats that would fit perfectly on Jeff's head, so of course she had gone a little nuts getting a variety of them. Now she had to see how they looked. She was standing outside the store, waving her hands around as she used her magic to see how they suited the twelve foot skeleton.

The Santa hat was pretty cute, and would definitely need to be saved if Wanda decided to keep Jeff around through the holidays.

[Open!]

"...is this also a Halloween tradition?" They did not have those goose statiesthat you dress up got the holidays back home. Which, you know, was a damn crime.

[scarlet_chaos]

"The skeleton or the hats?" Wanda asked as she lifted up a plastic viking helmet to put on Jeff's head.

[thedadalorian]

"Both?" So, so many questions.

[scarlet_chaos]

"The skeleton was pretty popular from what I read." Because she had been blipped out of existence when the memes were really happening, unfortunately. "But the hats are just me."

[thedadalorian]

"Right," Din said, tilting his head at the Viking helmet for a moment longer. "This one is more intimidating than the red sack one."

Santa would be sad to hear that he didn't inspire fear.

[scarlet_chaos]

"The red sack one is for Christmas," Wanda said. "Haven't done your research on Santa Claus yet, huh?"

Oh god imagine little Grogu sitting on Santa's lap awwwwwwwwwwww.

[thedadalorian]

"Is that another holiday?" Look, there were already too many here!

[scarlet_chaos]

"Oh yeah," she said. "Big with kids. They get presents and everything."

[shapethecentury]

And today's not-a-greeting was... "That is definitely too early."

Ah yes, extremely mild and muted judging of the Santa hat, as Bucky came down the street.

[thedadalorian]

"No costumes, right?" Because he'd heard things.

[scarlet_chaos]

"I'm just seeing how it fits," Wanda said. "Have you seen how much one of these skeletons cost? I should keep him around to get my money's worth."

Not that she had paid for it, but still.

[scarlet_chaos]

"Costumes are optional," Wanda said. "But a lot of people wear the Santa hats for fun."

She tried to imagine what Din would look like with a Santa hat over his helmet. The decided she should get him one.

[shapethecentury]

"None of the prices of anything in this time make any damn sense," Bucky informed her, looking up at Jeff. "And didn't you say this just showed up, anyway?"

[thedadalorian]

He was going to end up decked out in that stuff, huh?

"Did you decide in a costume for the kid before this next holidays starts?" So he could vet it in case Grogu turned into a pumpkin or something.

[scarlet_chaos]

"I mean, it did," she said, waving her hand to put a cowboy hat on Jeff's head this time. "...but I also bought a lot of these hats with my own money."

It wasn't like she had anything else to spend it on at the moment.

[scarlet_chaos]

"I'm waffling between two," she said. "Do you know what a hot dog or a werewolf is?"

[shapethecentury]

"You did?"

Well, now his attention was turning a little more towards the hats.

[thedadalorian]

"Hotdog yes, werewolf no."

Oh please make Grogu a shirtless, brooding loner in the corner.

[scarlet_chaos]

"Yeah," Wanda said, laughing. "I know, I clearly need a hobby."

[scarlet_chaos]

"A werewolf is a scary movie monster thing," she said. "An ordinary man who turns into a wolf when the moon is full."

"Except this is the adorable version."

[thedadalorian]

"And if he turns into it, will it still be cute?" And not murderous.

[scarlet_chaos]

"Probably?" she said. "The hot dog would be less threatening but weirder to deal with, I think."

Please, he was a bounty hunter and she was a witch, they could probably handle a baby werewolf without difficulty.

[shapethecentury]

Bucky shook his head. "No, it's..."

He trailed off for a second. Then shrugged a little. "It's sweet, I guess."

Like Jesse talking to plants.

[scarlet_chaos]

"Thanks," she said with a small smile. "That sounds a lot better than 'sad and weird'."

"How have you been?" Wanda asked, knowing she would probably get a shrug and a 'fine' in return.

[thedadalorian]

...okay, fair. As long as he can't Force choke people while also a werewolf.

"That's a good point," he had to admit. "Werewolf it is."

It would be so unbelievably cute.
