The Devil's Nest, Monday, October 31, 2022

Eric came into the bar in his normal Halloween attire of...his regular black and leather clothing, but with his fangs out..and found Tiny behind the bar in almost the identical outfit, complete with a blond wig and fangs.

"Are you dressed as me?" he asked.

Tiny arched his eyebrow and smirked.

"I'll allow it," Eric decided, "because it reinforces how not everyone can pull this off."

And now Tiny was sulking behind the bar. Enjoy your fake-blood themed drinks tonight, everyone!

Halloween wasn't really a thing on Eos, but Gladio knew enough about it to know that, for a lot of people, it was about scary and terrifying things. And he felt he'd figured out something that would be pretty disturbing to plenty of people:

He walked into the bar with an actual shirt on.

Eric gasped dramatically. "Where are the abs?!"

[sword_chocobro]

"I don't know, man," said Gladio, with a shrug of those broad, tattooed shoulders. "Guess you'll just have to make do with the 'ceps, delts, and pecs."

Because while it was, indeed, a shirt, it still fit very close to form.

"Horrifying, I know."

Eric made a spinning motion with his finger. "And glutes?"

[sword_chocobro]

"Well, you can check on those ones later," Gladio offered with a snort. "Something to look forward to."

"If you aren't wearing costumes to be ogled in, why even celebrate?"

Well, that certainly was a viewpoint, Eric.

"Hey," Gladio leaned back a little, lifting his hands, "don't ask me, we don't even have this holiday where I'm from. All I'm saying is that you might as well spread out the ogling. Not like it's slim picking, and it's not like I'm going anywhere any time soon."

Ignis showing up felt an awful lot like that final nail in the coffin, so to speak.

Eric signaled Tiny for a Cup Noodle drink for Gladio. "You can work out the frustration with the gym you now run and that way we both win?"

[sword_chocobro]

"Our punching bag budget," said Gladio, with a nod of gratitude for both the signal and the results, "is going to be astronomical."

"Those who appreciate biceps thank you for your service," Eric said, smirking.
