[The guilds are full of idiots as far as Rita's concerned, and she'd easily claim that this weirdo Hallowhatever tradition is just perfect for them, but...

Here she is, inside Brave Vesperia's little headquarters (what the hell is with those spooky decorations, Karol?). She even had fun picking out a costume, which is--what else--a cat. Complete with a few embellishments that only the genius mage's fashion sense can appreciate.

Really, she's just here for the candy that she heard would be handed out. Not that she's that excited, even if she's tapping her foot and glancing around impatiently, because-]

Where the hell is everyone?

[killervigil]

[Yuri would possibly have a bone to pick with that "guilds are full of idiots" thought, but she obviously doesn't mean him. Perhaps he has a soft spot for weird traditions, though, because Yuri is wearing a fairly wide grin as he comes strolling into B.V.H.Q. He's dressed as a wizard, of all things, complete with a big pointy hat and long, draping robes.

It goes mostly without saying that he looks like a goof. It's especially silly because this is not how people who use actual magic dress. Oops.

He doesn't seem to mind very much. In fact, he presents himself to Rita with a dramatic turn and wave of his robes.]

What do you think? Not bad, huh?

[Um.]

[negativegate]

[Maybe, under certain special conditions, she could admit that she has a fondness for her guild idiots. Even without admitting it, she has a tendency to make herself a...little obvious, anyway.

She'll have no problem admitting Yuri looks like a goof, though. For a moment, she's even a little speechless; her eyes widen and she just stares.

Then she bursts out laughing.]

Wow, what are you supposed to be? A street performer? Oh, man...

[Aaand she's really laughing so hard there's almost tears in her eyes.]

[killervigil]

[Rude as usual, Rita. Yuri puts a hand on his hip and shakes his head a little as the laughing fit persists. He's probably not going to help his cause much once he reveals what he's supposed to be dressed as, but oh well. Might as well go ahead and bite the bullet.]

Aw, can't you tell? I'm a mage. The guy at the shop said that this was an old fashion.

[He tries to copy the stance Rita takes when she casts her spells, extending his arms out a little. Then he adopts a deep, serious voice that sounds more than a little like Duke. Who can say why he thinks this is appropriate.]

Oh, flickering blaze burn! Fireball!

[Don't pull something from laughing too hard, Rita. You won't be able to go out trick-or-treating if you hurt yourself.]

1/2

[negativegate]

[And Yuri's prediction is right on the money. She immediately stops laughing to argue, gesturing with her fist.]

What? There's no way any self-respecting mage would ever wear something like-

2/2

[negativegate]

[Dammit, there's no way she can't go back to laughing after that display!

If she chokes, she blames him.]

I--I can't deal with this a--anymore...

[killervigil]

[Yuri believes the best course of action at this juncture is to immediately pretend like none of that just happened. He manages to sell it, looking totally casual while taking a few steps around and surveying the headquarters. He finds a big paper spider hanging from a string, and he pokes at it lightly.]

You help Captain Karol with these decorations?

[negativegate]

[She straightens up and wipes her eye as she gets over her little laughing fit. She has to admit that she's in a pretty good mood now.]

This? That was all Karol and the old man. I mean, I might've put up one or two...

[She comes to stand next to him and pokes his arm.]

What about you? Isn't it the underlings' job to do stuff like this?

[killervigil]

[He turns away from the spider and gives her a bit of a nudge in return. The question makes him chuckle.]

Yeah, right. Karol wouldn't let me touch anything after I "ruined the pumpkin."

[Which he totally did. Has she seen it? Turns out a sword is not the ideal pumpkin-carving tool. Yuri has been kind of struggling with this holiday.]

Anyway, you know where everybody ran off to?

[negativegate]

Oh, that hack-job they left out front. I'm sure it's a great warning for all those weirdos who come by.

[Although she may or may not be teasing, she has a smirk on her face.]

I think Estelle went off chasing your pooch with a costume. Judith disappeared a little while ago. Karol's buying more stuff. And nobody cares about the old man.

[She raises both arms in a dismissive shrug.]

I say we just go on without them for now. I'm sick of standing around here!

[killervigil]

[A touch of guilt shows on Yuri's face.]

Poor Repede…

[But yeah, no one really does care about the old man. Yuri returns her smirk with his own knowing grin.]

Sounds like someone's excited for the sweets. But that's fine with me. We can always head back here later… assuming you can keep up.

[Moving rather deftly for a guy in big, flowing robes, Yuri gives Rita's hair a ruffle as he scoots by, setting her cat ears slightly askew. And then he's out the door after a few quick strides, perhaps proving once and for all just who the mature the one is.]

[negativegate]

[Rita snorts; truthfully, she's a little curious to see how it turns out. Maybe Repede will come back dressed up as a teddy bear.]

Who do you think I--gah!

[She makes a garbled noise of protest and fixes her ears, then follows him out the door with a scowl.]

Don't think that'll get you a head start!

[Really, Yuri, you're just a big kid sometimes.]

[killervigil]

[Pft. Like he needs a head start. We know who has the better agility stat. Yuri is waiting for her outside, more like a gentleman, while surveying the streets. As expected, Dahngrest is bustling tonight, with many of its costumed residents out celebrating in force.]

Well, Rita, why don't you put that genius mind to work and formulate a route that'll get us the most candy and eventually lead back this way.

[Never mind that he should know the geography of this city well enough by now. Lazy.]

[negativegate]

[Huff, her height's not likely to catch up with his, either. But since he's waiting, she calms down and puts her hands on her hips.]

You spend more time here than I do, you know.

[She thinks about it anyway, even though she's really not all that familiar with the city layout, until something across the street catches her eye.]

Hey! They're giving out candy gels over there! I've been dying to finally get some!

[And she's barely patient enough to have Yuri come with her. (She fully expects to get his share, being Mister Gel-Hater and all.)]

[killervigil]

[Yuri makes a face but plods along at her heels. There's a bit of crowd around the stand, but the two worm their way to the front, and the man handing out the candy offers Yuri a couple. He examines them after he ducks out of the way.]

Let's see. This one looks like pineapple, and this one is… the hell? Special flavor?

Huh. If these are as rare as the real ones, then maybe I can sell it.

[He's teasing, of course. Or is he?]

[negativegate]

[Rita has to do a bit of shoving to get people out of her way--stupid crowds--but once she's forced her way back out, she takes a peek at Yuri's candies.]

The kid'll probably fire you if you start scamming people.

Now...

[Gleefully, she inspects her own. Apple, pineapple, and...]

Hey! What's with this?! "Lottery gel"?

[killervigil]

[Yuri's eyes light up a little as he glances over her shoulder.]

Ooh, you should definitely try that one. Who knows what it'll do?

[Probably nothing. I mean, it's just candy, right? Right? Still, Yuri raises his eyebrows and gives her a goading smile.]

Unless you're too scared. That'd be understandable.

1/2

[negativegate]

[Dammit, Yuri. Her cheeks redden because she is sort of reluctant to do it.

But she does, anyway.]

There's no way I'd be scared of a candy!

[She tears it open and stuffs it in her mouth; there's that sweet melting sensation she loves, followed by...]

[negativegate]

-Eugh!

[-Licorice flavour.

And because Rita has great manners, she spits out the mushy gel.]

1/2

[killervigil]

[Aw. Yuri was hoping she might start doing back flips or something. He takes a hasty step away as she spits the gel out, holding his robes as if they were some kind of fancy dress. Very manly. Hard to blame Rita, though, because licorice is gross.]

Whoa! Watch the costume.

[killervigil]

[Then he gives her more of a pitying look and holds out his two gels.]

Want mine? You know I don't really like 'em.

[negativegate]

[Rita'll leave back flips to the old man. She wipes her mouth with the back of her hand and just makes more grossed-out noises instead of worrying about his costume.

When he sticks out the gels, though, she feels at least a little awkward.]

I...guess they would just go to waste if I don't...

[She reaches out (with the hand she didn't use to wipe her mouth, just for him), closes her fingers around the gels, and holds her hand there a moment. She's not wearing gloves with her costume, for once.]

So...thanks.

[killervigil]

[The smallest of blushes creeps across his face as their fingers touch, and Yuri looks away for a second as he hands her the candy.]

C'mon. Like you said, it'd just be a waste otherwise.

[OK. Time to try and dial down the awkward. Emphasis on try. Yuri gives her a straight look and then an easy grin.]

But, hey, you're welcome. Now, you wanna see what they've got over there?

[He nods toward another stand down the way, then offers her a hand.]

[negativegate]

[Rita's face already has its own touch of pink. It's just some stupid gels (that she loves), she tells herself, but that blush isn't going away.]

Oh. Yeah.

[Not awkward at all.]

I mean, maybe they'll have more of these.

[She takes his hand almost without thinking--she's gotten so used to stuff like this!--then grips it tightly as her face heats up more. She isn't going to let go after taking it, flustered or not.]

H-hurry up! Come on!
