STUCK IN YOUR COSTUME

 

It's that time of year again - Halloween! And what better time to pull out the tropic 'you are now your costume' meme? Because that's what's happening, boys and girls. At the stroke of midnight on All Hallows Eve, everyone gets turned into their costume. Sure, that doesn't sound so bad, does it? If you're a dragon or a princess, maybe. But what if you're that genius that went as a partner costume? Or what if you went as a walking dildo? Might want to rethink that costume choice before the clock strikes twelve, because until the sun rises over the horizon, you are now your costume.

• Step one - Put your character name and preferences in the subject line
• Step two - Pick a costume. (Put it in the subject line or your comment)
• Step three - Tag around and react to other suddenly-costumed characters

Happy Halloween

With her katana as a 'sword'

[ Ward had warned him the moment he caught wind that one of Danny's costumes was going to be Iron Man that he needed to be careful who knew it was him in the suit. Danny assured him he'd be wearing the mask most of the time and didn't see how dressing up as one of the famous and beloved Avengers could get him in trouble in New York City. Ward had to pull him aside and explain exactly who Tony Stark was and how the media would love a scoop about one billionaire dressing up as another. It's not the type of press we want. Danny promised Ward again he'd keep the mask on and only Colleen would know it was him. He wouldn't even take it off to eat. Ward hesitated but agreed.

Danny had plenty of costume options but he really wanted to spend at least a little bit of time on Halloween in this one. Instead of fabric this costume was made of hollow plastic and included a working battery powered light in the chest. It took a little struggling and wiggling to get into the suit. While it was supposed to be his size it was stiff enough that it didn't agree entirely with his muscular stature even when he wore the bare minimum under it. It took some stretching to reach the closure in the back but thankfully he was more flexible than the average person and he closed it up with a zip and a snap. On went the helmet and an excited pose in front of a mirror. No one would know it was him.

Colleen's students totally knew it was him. Who else would be walking with her to the Halloween party one of the local businesses near the dojo was hosting? Danny had them swear secrecy and they all had a giggle over it. None of the strangers at the party knew any better, most of them were distracted complimenting him and Colleen on their costumes. He was tempted at moments by the food table but steeled himself and resorted to gazing longingly instead.

Midway through the party someone ran into the building in a panic, telling everyone to keep the doors closed. At the end of the street there's a robbery at the jewelers! There are five of them at least all wearing animal masks! They've got guns and everything. The store owner is still in there!

Danny turns to Colleen. His face is still hidden but he imagines she knows what he's thinking without saying anything. ]

[Most couples tried to dress up as something romantic together, but Colleen had no interest in dressing up as an avenger. She certainly wasn't about to put on a red wig and squeeze herself into a skin tight black leather costume. She went with something much simpler. A pirate. Corset, pirate head, a matching skirt and a pair of boots with a six inch heel. Which she could walk just as gracefully in as a pair of sandals. Her katana sheathed at her waist. Something simple and yet she pulled it off very well.

She had taken a few pictures of Danny's Iron Man costume. It had certainly come out better than she had initially thought it would. It was no small wonder that everyone seemed to compliment them on their costumes, though she knew most of it was directed towards him.

She was about to offer to sneak Danny some food somehow when she heard the news of the robbery. Immediately she glanced over at him, knowing what he'd have in mind. They needed to get out of here and try to help. But first they needed to get Danny out of that suit!

She pulled him towards a back corner of the room. After all, everyone seemed to be milling around the front doors]

You get the helmet, I'll unzip the back.

[She figured it would be easier that way. She was wrong. For some reason she couldn't seem to get the clasp undone and the zipper was stuck. The irony of the situation coaxed a small laugh]

Danny, I think you're stuck.

[It was no laughing matter, but still she could appreciate how bizarre this was. Danny Rand stuck in an Iron Man costume]

I can try to tear it open if you're okay with that.

[punchthemagicdragon]

[ Danny pulls off the helmet and shoves it onto corner of the nearby snack table. Then Colleen starts tugging on the zipper to no avail. He grimaces at the realization of his problem as she tells him, eyes squeezing shut. Stuck? It's just a costume and there's trouble. He nods quickly at her suggestion. ]

Do it.

[ He hopes she can rip it. The person who made the costume did what they could to hide the zipper between the plastic pieces, leaving just enough space for the slim zipper line. He moves his arms forward and tries to arch his back so the valley between the "armor" sections are spread as much as possible to make room for her to grip and tear the underlying fabric. The fabric itself was comfortable, whatever it was, but whether or not it would tear easily had yet to be seen. ]
