Halloween Second Change Salvage's Annual Trick-or-Treat (YE 36)

Rachael wasn't one to normally dress up for halloween but this particular one was a loss of a bet with her elder brother, so she was forced to wear a Battle Bunny costume!

At a kebab stand on one of the festively decorated street corners, a Nepleslian woman stood, closing her transaction with the vendor. She didn't stick up much higher than many of the Yamataian populace, in fact, in some cases she was actually several inches shorter, but her noticably non-Yamataian features made her stand out slightly. Her cold, steely eyes beneath a pair of well-groomed, upswept dark eyebrows, in particular, were the most striking, accented with a subtle touch of eyeliner that made the contrast "pop" all the more. Along with her angular, aquiline nose, she had a stern, almost intimidating presence; or rather, she would, were it not for the warm, inviting smile that glowed on her face, evident in her eyes, and even through the mask. Her shoulder-length brown hair bounced lightly, just brushing her sturdy-looking shoulders, and her noticeably hourglass figure was completely enclosed in a solid black ninja costume, cupped just over her deltoids. Her arms would be bare were it not for the long black gloves that covered them from her fingertips all the way up just over most of her triceps, leaving a thin band of her shoulders exposed. A black mask covered her nose and mouth, and a cheap-looking imitation katana hung from her belt. Her black leather boots were calf-length with laces up the front, and a two-inch heel. Slung over her left shoulder was an orange and black satchel - perhaps a handout from one of the many trucks passing out holiday memorabilia - partially filled with trinkets and treats she had collected, but clearly wasn't being shy about redistributing.

Tam remembered the last encounter he had with second hand salvage and remembered that he'd had to leave behind some of the salvage that he'd received from the last Halloween. This time he decided to be a pirate reaper.

Given that she'd recently been fighting off pirates trying to plunder an Iroma ship Akemi decided she'd dress up as one herself in the hopes of getting the rest of her crew to do the same. At the very least she'd have new props to annoy them with. Who knows, maybe she'd get someone hooked.

Koko apparently doesn't know about the airbike mercenaries who hang out in Nepleslian bars and seem to dress just like pirates. In her defense, she was just trying to dress like everyone else. Miria, on the other hand, knows everything about airbike mercenaries. She's even dated a few, or at least dated some guys who claimed they used to be airbike mercenaries, who also dressed suspiciously like pirates. It's not like there's six chapters of unpublished, uncanon, never-to-be-shown-in-public JPs in which Koko, Siv, and Akemi try their hand at piracy in the Yugumo Cluster. In fact, it's nothing like that at all. Airbike mercenaries.
 
Staying true to form, and to her Nepleslian heritage, a picture was sent out from the backwater posting in which Helen Klein had been assigned, and depicted upon that photograph was an image right out of ancient Nepleslian cinema.

Also out of Task Force Lantern came an image sent by Lachen Freygunnr. As a distinctive departure from her day-to-day style and purpose, the image sent depicts Lachen clad in attire fit for some sort of ancient maiden, and written on the margins of the digital photograph was the following; 'Lachen Freygunnr as Hel, ancient goddess of the underworld'. It seemed, she had tapped into the lesser acknowledged portion of Nekovalkryja roots for inspiration.

Amelia decided to dress as a navigator, although it wasn't any kind of navigator. This was the kind of navigators who guided a ship through the aether with their third eye and their very minds. She dressed in a long, hooded red robe with orange trims and a yellow one under it. Over it, was a fake piece of armor covering her chest and neck, while several cables dangled from it and her belt. There were also several wax seals keeping strips of paper glued from falling off her. The contents of these seals attested to the individual's purity of soul. She also held a simple staff adorned with an eye on one of the ends.

Natsumi manifested dressed up as a demon warrior mage, an idea she got from reading a fantasy comic book some time ago.

"The next thing you'll say is: 'My God, you look Fabulous'!"

My God, you look Fabulous!

WH-! How'd he know? OH NO! *SPLAT!*

He was two things, he has the power of fabulousness attire, and bizarre posing on his side, mixing two heroes of ancient Yamataian media myth together into a kickass package with good(?) fashion sense and the ability to pummel anything that crossed his way absolutely stupid. And you were already dead, and quite fabulously too I might add.

He couldn't find shoulderpads for the costume, but settled for getting the pose right to make up for it.

With a buzz and zappy sounds Tani Mako dressed as a tecno angel floated about the camera field of view. She was laughing and flittering about.

"Haa... Its a bit revealing, isn't it?"

"Go out like this? You're joking, right? I-I mean if you want to, I-I'm not going to stop you."

"H-Hey I'm being a good sport, aren't I? I put it on, didn't I? Isn't that enough?"

"P-Put the camera down..."

AIESU DOES NOT APPROVE OF THIS ALIEN HOLIDAY!
(But she's secretly hoping to get some Hanako related swag).

If I had access to a proper computer and photoshop (ie layers and tablet drivers) and Modo (cheating anatomy, lol gantz) I'd do something NotShit™ but this'll have to do. Aiesu/10. Happy Halloween.
