Okay, so... Question. {{when does Kuri use this network for something other than questions? The answer is never. She tips her baseball cap of the day to the side, tugging on a strand of her hair before asking-}} What exactly constitutes as a 'costume', per se? Cause I'm sure as hell not showing up to this party as some sort of witch'r zombie or

I was actually gonna ask the same question.

[ He rests his chin on his palm as he takes a moment to think. ]

How 'bout you go as that Shakespeare guy you like so much?

[blackandbluemix]

((she gives him a Look)) I'm not going as William Shakespeare. Don't be stupid.

[mini_martillo]

Why not? It's not a zombie or a witch.

[blackandbluemix]

I'd have to wear a wig. {{aka, no way in hell.}}

[mini_martillo]

You said you were fine with a hat, didn't you? A wig is practically a hat.

[blackandbluemix]

Yeah, except with hair. What are you, a moron?

[mini_martillo]

Does it really matter that much?

Anyway, if not him then how about... uh... Katherine Malm..?

[blackandbluemix]

Yeah, it does.

-- And who's Katherine Malm?

[mini_martillo]

Whatever.

[ Wow, for once Firo actually knows something somebody else doesn't. He pauses to be surprised by that fact before answering. ]

She was one of the few women convicted of murder in Chicago's Cook County back in the 1920s. Apparently she and her boyfriend shot a watchman dead when they tried to rob a factory or somethin'. 'Course the guy sold her out.

I thought it might work 'cause you guys have the same hair and you said you didn't wanna wear a wig.

[blackandbluemix]

-- ((she blinks. then-)) I'm not- why would you- that's stupid. You're stupid. I'm nothing like her.

[mini_martillo]

I didn't say you were gonna go shoot up a factory like her, I just said you had the same hair! That's what you wanted, right, to not wear a wig?

[ He pauses a moment, then smiles faintly ]

...But ya know, they did call her the "Wolf Woman" which... well, you can't say it doesn't suit you too.

[ It may seem strange, but he really does mean it as a compliment. Anyone who can do well in a scrap deserves some credit in his book. ]

[blackandbluemix]

{{determinedly, not meeting his eyes}} I don't know what the hell you're talking about. ((idly fiddles with a strand of her hair}} I'm a fox. There's a difference.

[mini_martillo]

They're both doggy, aren't they? How much of a difference can there be?

[blackandbluemix]

I'm not her, okay? Just- whatever. {{there's a heavy-set frown on her face as she glares at him}}

[mini_martillo]

Yeah, I get that. It was just a compliment. An attempt at one, anyway.

So, aside from me, what's buggin' you? You seem kinda on edge.

[blackandbluemix]

If at first you don't succeed, don't attempt again.

-- I'm always on edge. What did you expect, honestly?
