[ Hello Asgard, it's your favourite space princess making an appearance again. ]

I have come to understand that there is going to be some sort of event happening now that involves us all, or at least those who are willing, dressing up.

[ Is there a hint of almost child-like excitement on her face?

Maaaaaybe.

Someone is letting go of the royal self control just a little today. Shame on you, Asgard, she is trying to be tragically resigned to her sad fate over here! ]

I... haven't really done that much.

[ Putting on disguises to avoid getting murdered isn't the same thing after all. It could be argued that Ghanima is almost always dressing up, putting on the costume of the strong young empress she needs to be, but again that isn't what this is supposed to be about. This is about fun, and it's a kind of fun she isn't particularly experienced with. ]

I may need some help deciding what to dress up as. The place I'm from doesn't exactly provide a wealth of inspiration.

[ At least not when the point here is to be lighthearted and carefree. Arrakis isn't what you'd call a party planet. ]

I can help you if you need ideas!

[He looks pretty eager. Hamel LOVES making costumes and dressing people up. A pretty girl looking for costume ideas? He feels like it's his lucky day.]

[ghani]

Thank you, I would appreciate that.

[ Eager is good! Ghani's mind is wide open to any ideas he might have right now. ]

[abhero]

[Hopefully not too open, because Hamel's taste is… unique and kind of ridiculous. And he thinks pretty ladies should wear revealing outfits.]

So do you have something in mind already? [So he can steer her in the right direction.] If you don't it's okay, I've got tons of ideas and not enough people to tell 'em to!

[ The feed turns on and she seems to be considering it as well. ]

I don't really do that much, either. Maybe we could help each other?

[ghani]

Stumbling through the steps together, so to speak?

[ Ghani hardly ever stumbles, but why let that get in the way of a decent metaphor? ]

I'm willing if you are.

[ Neither does Annabeth, if she can help it. Still, she's never been particularly good at doing the 'Girl Thing'. ]

I am too. At least it's more fun to do it together. I'm Annabeth Chase, Odin House.

It looks like you've got some offers to help already, but I can give you some suggestions if you want them.

[ Blaine's full of ideas, even if he'll just end up dressing up in his old Nightbird costume and run around the city with Sam. ]

video

[ghani]

Of course. Part of why I reached out was simply to get to talk to some new people.

[ That sounds like a pretty epic plan, Blaine, no need to be messing with it. ]

video

[justlove]

Well, then, I guess I should introduce myself. My name's Blaine Anderson.

He smiles.]

It probably sounds silly to you, but back at home, some friends and I decided to dress up as our versions of superheroes just for fun. I might try recreating my costume.

[fantastix]

Seen anything interesting around here?

You can be anything you want. Even a chair. Though I can't imagine that would be pleasant.

[ghani]

It sounds as if it would get cumbersome.

I have seen many interesting things, really, so the choice still remains rather difficult. Is there anything you would recommend?

[sheloves]

It sounds as if you might benefit from a walk through the shops and a good cup of tea. If you'd like, I could use the same. I've got supplies to gather for the costume I've decided to make. Feathers and some framework, really. I'm to make wings.

[ghani]

Wings? What are you going to be?

I thank you for your offer, and am most definitely of a mind to accept it.

[zen_en_vert]

Well, when I used to dress up, my favourite costumes were the ones of my heroes. People who I wanted to be when I grow up.

Where I'm from, the holiday is typically the province of the very young.

Do you have anyone like that? Fictional characters you find inspirational, so on?

voice

[ghani]

I'm not sure I believe in heroes anymore.

[ Or if she ever has, really. ]

Nor have I ever been young, really.

[ She shrugs a little and gives Bruce a smile. ]

Hence my need for assistance, I suppose.

[trustexercises]

I think I can help you. A dashing gentleman like myself is more than willing to impart some advice to a girl like you.

[ghani]

And what sort of girl would that be?

[Hi Ghani, two things: Dany didn't know about this yet, and she's confused about the dressing up.]

Pleased to see you again, Ghanima. What does this "dressing up" entail?

•´¯`• video •´¯`•

[ghani]

[ Hi Dany! Never fear, Ghani is here to help you make sense of this. ]

And you as well, Daenerys. The idea is to disguise yourself as someone, or something, else than yourself.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Even after talking with Honir and Mimir, Jamie's not entirely sure what he wants to do about this whole costume business, and it's showing just a bit on his face when he first turns on the feed on his end.]

You're going to do this costume-thing, then?

[Video]

[ghani]

I think I might give it a try, yes.

[ Come on Jamie, might be fun! ]

[comeonthensexy]

You better join in the competition!

[ Hi pimping it everywhere, yo. ]

What sort of things do you like? Or enjoy. Do you read anything?

[Video]

[ghani]

I read quite a lot. There's a competition?

[ Sorry Doctor, she must've missed your announcement! ]

I assume one wins it by having the best costume?

[ Ooooh, might not wanna get the Atreides competitive streak going. ]

[ Kieran is out of the loop on events, to no one's surprise. ]

Dress up?

[ghani]

[ It doesn't seem like his sort of thing, really. ]

You are unfamiliar with the concept?
