"You are not wearing your usual flying clothes," Teja states to Lorne, walking up to the bar, as he wishes for a drink himself, after that film he had seen.

[callmemajor]

Lorne smiles over at Teja. "Nope," he says. "I think it's Halloween here. Bar picked my costume for me."

[ostro_goth]

"That is a Halloween costume?" Teja asks, ordering wine. "It does not look strange enough!"

[callmemajor]

"Yeah, that's what I thought," Lorne says, taking a sip of his beer. "But apparently I'm a dead ringer for some guy called Joe Kavanaugh."

The straight face that Yrael is keeping at Nikola is a little too straight to be real.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Something amusing?" Nikola asks dryly, glancing over at Yrael.

And no, he hasn't discovered the hair yet.

[mogget_cat]

"'Course not," Yrael says. "Just glad to see you, even if the holiday has caught you as well."

He's been re-forming his shape every so often, but every time he turns around, black markings appear on his face, around his eyes, through his hair and on his clothes, creating causing the unmarked pale skin, white hair and clothes to take on the appearance of a skeleton.

Nikola blinks at the change. "Well, I suppose it's nice to know even your powers can be overridden here."

Nathaniel is also seated by the fire.

Still lost in thought, but at least he has a fresh cup of tea, and he turns when Nikola's scent hits him. It isn't human, that's for sure.

"Hello," Nathaniel says with a little nod of his head.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola arches an eyebrow at the boy, and a tiny smirk plays about his lips. "Hello."

He isn't quite close enough to Nathaniel to catch the non-human scent.

"Don't you find it a little too chilly for the shorts?" he asks.

Like he has room to talk. He's still in his pajama bottoms and slippers.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola glances down at his (quite bony) knees with a sour expression. "It was hardly my first wardrobe choice."

Something in the way that he speaks and the way he carries himself seems to point toward him not being a cargo shorts sort of person.

Enter a small child in a homemade Autobot costume.

"What're you supposed to be?" she asks, peering at Lorne curiously.

[callmemajor]

Lorne smiles. "A policeman, I think," he says.

"Let me guess. Transformer?" Hey, he's got nephews.

[im_so_sari]

Sari nods eagerly. "I'm Optimus Prime!" she says, making her voice as deep and impressive-sounding as she can manage. "I'm scared of spiders!"

[callmemajor]

"I think spiders are probably more scared of you," Lorne says. "But you make a pretty good Optimus Prime. You get any candy yet?"

This is clearly what Halloween is all about, after all.

[fowl_beast]

Santa Claus thinks he sees someone he recognizes. He hops off his table and walks over.

"Nikola Tesla? Is that you?"

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola glances up.

...

Well...that's different.

"Yes?"
