Well...at least I can move the mask to the side. How is everyone else doing with their costumes? Isn't the town interesting? I've never seen anything like it! It's so strange~

[Souji is dressed like this with a mask like the ones to the right, but moved to the side so it doesn't cover his face. He doesn't like his costume at all. It brings

[Ramirez is entirely out of luck today, it seems. He has been stuck on the front porch to House 21 for about the past ten minutes, trying to find a way to evade being forced into yet another costume, but every attempt he's tried has ended in utter failure.

As it stands, he is too busy FROWNING DEEPLY at his new outerwear to pay Souji or that demon pig of his any mind.

Actually, his costume isn't that bad at all.

He has become a rather fetching Victorian-era barber. Just ignore that blood-stained cloth hanging off his belt loop.]

[ahappylie]

[OHOHOHO. Okita stops when he sees a frowny face standing on his porch and comes a little closer, sliding the mask a bit further to the side.]

Hello there. Having problems?

[targetprime]

[...Somehow, that voice is familiar. Though it still takes him a minute to stop sulking at his new look in order to actually look at the person speaking to him.]

Hmm? I just-

2/3

[targetprime]

[...You.

YOU. He thought he had shaken you off.

...Sob, his life.]

3/3

[targetprime]

Not at all.

[ahappylie]

[OH HO HO he knows that voice. His face lights up and he takes a few more steps closer. The pig peers out from behind him, snorting.]

Not sure about your costume, are you? It's good to meet you, Ramirez-san.

[targetprime]

[Whatever attempt at social niceties he was going to try was quickly forgotten upon seeing what was following him around.

Oh my god. That pig. This is just getting worse and worse. One day he is going to learn just to not ever leave the house and this intention is is readily apparently as his gaze locks into Saizou with what can only be described as unflattering disbelief.]

Is that yours.

[ahappylie]

[He notes the strange looks and blinks, dropping his gaze to Saizou and then bringing his eyes back up to Ramirez.]

Yes. I'm afraid he caused quite a few problems when he first arrived as I was out when he came home.

His name is Saizou. [And he nudges the pig forward with his foot.] Saizou, say hello.

[The pig grunts and glares up at Ramirez. Such a friendly thing.]

[targetprime]

[Oh god why. Why. Why.

Ramirez does not appear any more fond of Saizou than he seems to be of him. But to his merit, there are no threatening gestures as of yet.

Sigh. Figures.]

...Well, he does seem...happier.

[Sort of. He guesses.]

[ahappylie]

I apologize if he was rude to you earlier.

[He looks down at the pig.] Saizou, say you're sorry to Ramirez-san.

[The pig just grunts again and gets up to sit behind Souji.] He can be such a handful sometimes. Ah! But I like your costume. It's very Western.

[targetprime]

[...Whatever, pig. As long as you don't harass him again. But Souji's comment causes him to look down at his new getup, frowning in the process. Western, huh?]

Is it?

[ahappylie]

Yes. I think I've seen pictures of people wearing such clothing.

[He smiles and tucks his hands behind his back.]

But why so unhappy?

[targetprime]

I'll trade.

[He wouldn't mind a mask. But hey, what-]

What do you mean?

[He always looks like this. :|]

[ahappylie]

If only that were possible~

[Pfft, oh you.]

Why don't you come off your porch? When I passed by, you seemed to be very intent on your costume.

[targetprime]

I don't like being forced into things. I was seeing if there was any sort of loophole to it.

[And was bitterly defeated. Sigh.]

But it seems impossible.

[ahappylie]

Well, they are the Malnossos' doing, so I don't think there would be much of a loophole.
