Cosplay Tiem

[downtothefilter]

[Has been wandering aimlessly down various corridors when an open door catches his attention. It’s decorated like the inside lobby of a hotel, with crappy muzak playing in the background. The room seems harmless enough, so Mail enters curiously.]

Huh, another ‘nice’ one? Seems like the powers above have gone on vacation…

(L enters, is tossed into the Neo-getup, and promptly trips over the edge of his overly long coat, and fumbles with pulling his sunglasses off. He carries the look... well, not exactly well. With his hair, he looks more like Neil Gaiman's Sandman.)

What's going on now? Why am I in these clothes? And why am I wearing sunglasses inside, I'm not Matt.

[Well, I had tagged with Sherlock Holmes, but since it's been done above *just notices* I'll edit, and say one of these two. Hercules Poirot for the underappreciated win!]

[downtothefilter]

[Snickers off to the side, L (any L) as Neo is epic win.]

You've never seen The Matrix, have you?

[No sooner he says this, his own clothes finally change. Guess who's Hercule Poirot?] ...knew it.

[ijk_mno]

No, I havent. I assume it's a film?

(He folds the sunglasses and puts them in his pocket. That's one obstacle out of the way.)

...you're... (Quietly pleased.)

[downtothefilter]

Yeah, it's pretty popular.

..I'm? What, you know who I'm supposed to be? [Confused, doesn't recognize the costume.]

[ijk_mno]

Despite the irritating costumes?

Ah. You're Hercule Poirot. He's the detective from Murder on the Orient Express, and Evil Under the Sun.

[downtothefilter]

Hey, I'm sure the leather getup is what made Neo popular among the ladies and gay men.

...random detective guy with a weird mustache that would make even Dalí proud. Got it.

[ijk_mno]

I'll take your word for it.

He's not a random detective, he's from Agatha Christie.

[downtothefilter]

...still has a weird mustache. [Itches irritably at said mustache.]

[ijk_mno]

At least you weren't actually turned into Dali?

[downtothefilter]

I'd take a surrealism artist over a detective I don't know any day. No offense. Not that that would work, Dali isn't fictional.

[ijk_mno]

Well, I know him, and I'm not sorry you're Poirot.

They have some of the books in the library, you could find them.

[downtothefilter]

Agatha Christie, you said? I'll be sure to look.

[ijk_mno]

She also wrote 'And Then There Were None.' She's very famous. I can't believe you haven't read any Poirot.

(He's revising the Wammy cirriculum when he gets home.)

[downtothefilter]

Hear about that one, though I never read it. Uh, probably because crappy public school education system was crappy?

[Never went to Whammys, endured the wonderful joys of the public school system.]

[ijk_mno]

And because it's a problematic text, too. I wouldn't assign it to a public school.

[downtothefilter]

I don't think anything is nearly as problematic as Vladimir Nabokov's 'Lolita'.
