Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[lilycordeliaevans]

Eyeliner? Are we talking about David Bowie now?

Not if I kill him first. Oh, I don’t know though, it wasn’t that bad. He had the whole appearance part down sure, but not so much the dialogue. Not enough emotion in his performance, you know?

[prongsp-otter]

You tell me.

Thank Merlin someone gets it. He needs the lack-of-concern mixed with a general well-likeness, and Sirius Black just cannot pull that off.

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[lilycordeliaevans]

Welcome. It was going to be John Lennon, yeah? It would have been a laugh if all of you had dressed up as The Beatles. Is Sirius still dressed up as you for today? He said that’s what he was going to do a few days ago, even had the glasses.

[prongsp-otter]

Well, it's not exactly like John Legend. So far as I know, John never wore eyeliner. 

I'm going to kill that berk.

[prongsp-otter]

[lilycordeliaevans]

Thank you…? It is fitting, I suppose, considering the whole Prefect thing, but never mind that.

You know, you should have tried to charm your hair and make it a bit smoother. You’d look more like a proper Prince Charming then, but ah— actually, it’s good this way too.

[prongsp-otter]

Well, I was kind of caught between two costumes, and I only settled on this one at the last minute. Wouldn't have made sense to slick my hair back if I went with the other one, but I'll keep the tip in mind. Thanks.

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[lilycordeliaevans]

Not quite like an Auror, no, it’s more like the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol actually. Er… well no they’re a bit longer usually, but it’s Halloween! Sue me for not being entirely accurate.

[prongsp-otter]

Well, I like it. Authority and looks, all mixed together. You're a killer combination, Lils.

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[a-phantombones]

Hm. 

Who’s tights are those anyways? 

[prongsp-otter]

Yours, obviously. I needed something as close to a man's fit as possible.

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[lilycordeliaevans]

Good. And, you know, all you’ve got to do is break out into song now and your outfit will be complete. I’m a Police Constable! Isn’t it obvious? I mean, it says “police” right here…

[prongsp-otter]

What's a police constable? It's like those ... Muggle aurors, right? And do they normally wear skirts that short? 

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[a-phantombones]

That was absolutely horrible, James. You’ve lost your humour tonight, probably went down the drain along side your pathetic insults.

My name’s Marlene, have you hit the Firewhiskey a little too much? Probably to numb the pain of not having Lily as your princess.

[prongsp-otter]

Alright, Marlene, just stop. Just ... stop. I don't need Lily Evans thrown in my goddamn face every time we talk because you think I'm going to break down and cry or some shit. I'm tired of it. Get the hell over it. Find a new topic or just ... go away.

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[a-phantombones]

Oo, someone’s testy, going all formal on me I see.

i don’t know what you’re talking about, Potter.

[prongsp-otter]

Yeah, I like to wear a tie and jacket when I get tired of your overused jokes.

I think you do, Sandy.

[prongsp-otter]

[quibblingxenophilius-deactivate]

Good!  Good.  Maybe you’ll even catch your princess’s eye.  As for me I am going as a pumpkin!  Everyone seems to be going as characters from muggle tales or even from our own story books that I felt the pumpkins that we use to decorate the halls and our lawns needed to be celebrated.

[prongsp-otter]

Well, it's definitely original. Uh, how are you planning to go to the loo in that, Xee? I assume you've thought this through?

[snivellingseverus-deactivated20]

How is it

[snivellingseverus-deactivated20]

I would hope so, James.  Your foolish wand-waving and spouting that silly incantation is getting rather old.  It had me believing that was the only spell you knew.

[prongsp-otter]

Thanks Snivellus, I'm so glad you've been noticing my wand-waving. Just like I've noticed that it's been a few years since you've washed your hair.

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[a-phantombones]

Should have gone with Lennon.

I know Lily isn’t attracted to ponces in tights. 

[prongsp-otter]

We ever going to have a conversation about something other than Evans, McKinnon? Like, maybe how you have matching costumes with my best friend.

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[anesotericconundrum]

You look charming as Charming. She smiles and hands him a piece of bubblegum.

[prongsp-otter]

Thanks, Al. Are you going as my princess, then, because you're as pretty as royalty. What's your costume?

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[lilycordeliaevans]

Are those tights, Potter?

[prongsp-otter]

Yes, and I will never take for granted you ladies and your amazing ability to get into them, ever again.

And what are you supposed to be, Evans?

[prongsp-otter]

Ladies.

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[quibblingxenophilius-deactivate]

I would have gone with a different color.  Blue is a bit….. gloomy don’t you think?  How about orange or… or some other bright color?  You would  certainly draw attention to yourself.

[prongsp-otter]

I'll, uh, take that into consideration, Xeno. What're you going as?

[prongsp-otter]

Couldn't decide between Prince Charming or John Lennon

[ladymithianofnemeth-deactivated]

Who’s a Prince Charming? Is that a Muggle thing?

Hey do you want to see my costume?

[prongsp-otter]

He's the hero in this muggle story I read? Like a Prince ... who was very charming. And handsome and everything. So I figured, hey, why not?

Show the goods, Daisy Darling.
