BIO

Amira grew up in a relatively simple but happy family. She grew up with both her parents, who are still very much in love. As an only child, she got pretty much whatever she wanted and never needed to share. Selfish isn't a word anyone would use to describe her, though, she goes out of her way to be as giving as possible because she loves to put a smile on people's faces. Amira isn't sure if she loves to love or loves to be loved, but either way, she enjoys the attention.

Amira was always a goody-two-shoes in her day-to-day life as well as in school. Her parents were a little uptight but she didn't mind. She liked them having high expectations because it felt really good when she always met them. She never dyed her hair or got tattoos. She didn't drink before 21 and still never had a wild phase. She was a straight-A student all the way through college when she got her business degree. She knew she wanted to open a cute little candy parlor that felt like it was right out of a fairytale. Somewhere that would put a smile on anyone who entered it. She also knew that she wasn't the type of person to work for someone else her whole life, she wasn't bossy she was simply the boss.

Between her insatiable desire for attention and her need to be in control, she never really found herself in a relationship. She felt like she came across as someone who would be a fantastic girlfriend... then wife... then mother, but she wasn't sure exactly what she wanted. If she got into a relationship that would mean that she couldn't look for attention from other people, which she couldn't imagine being enough for her. She always felt herself getting bored and wanting just a little bit more. She is a great person to have in your life as long as you like someone

jude gently lifts up his mask to take a sip of his drink, trying his best to keep his face from being exposed to the people around him. however the intention of staying out of sight and mind proved to be a little difficult, providing the opposite reaction. "ghostface." he replies, with zero context to match. it was obvious the girls hadn't seen the scream franchise, or at least wasn't overly aware of it. on contrast jude spent most of his teenage halloweens watching it with his brother, ghostface was a symbol of his childhood. "never seen scream?"

@sweetascandyamira

[sweetascandyamira]

Ghostface. Amira could certainly see where his character gets the name, it was kind of a literal approach. She didn't know what this character was from until he asked her about it. "Oh, no, I've never really seen any scary movies," she confessed, with a small smile. "I mean, I'm assuming that Scream is a scary movie, it kind of sounds like it and I'm guessing that Ghostface is like a masked killer or something. Based on the costume. Is it your favorite scary movie?"

"There's something about candy that's so nostalgic. Not that I haven't eaten candy all my life, but I'm telling you..." Jared perused the several jars behind the counter, pointing towards the pick and mix. "I used to eat that in the mountains full as a kid. Therefore, in celebration of this memory, I'll take two bags."

[sweetascandyamira]

"I completely agree with you, I think it just brings out that inner child in a way that's almost sparkly," Amira nodded, with a smile playing on her lips. She filled the bags to his liking before she brought her eyes back up to his. "I'm happy to help bring out your inner child, I think we all need a little bit of that." She really did love her shop and moments like these were always her favorite. "Is there anything else you'd like?"

[fiaxsouza]

"Well it's a beautiful costume and you definitely achieved the effect you wanted." It really was a pretty decent costume compared to the cheaper version that was available. It's how Fia was able to find the workaround with her own costume. It took a good few Google searches before she settled on the final pieces. "Uh, my partner did actually," she chuckled. Fia hadn't been sit on any costume ideas, but when Chase suggested they go as Aladdin and Jasmine, she didn't really have anything to counter with. "Plus, she's definitely my favorite so I figured, why not?" Fia hadn't dressed up as Jasmine since she was a kid. "Did you still want to take that photo?"

[sweetascandyamira]

"Thank you, I had a lot of fun making it," Amira said, with a light smile on her lips. She did love getting compliments, it just fed that pathological people-pleaser inside of her and made her feel warm inside. "Oh, that's so cute! Aladdin and Jasmine make such a cute couple's costume," she chirped, never having had the chance to do a couple's costume. She never really had time to set aside for a relationship before but now that she was more settled in her life maybe she would by the next year. "That would be lovely," she nodded, as she pointed the front-facing camera at the two of them.

“In’N’Out’s sauce is pretty good. I like to order it animal style since it has the works, and then I get an extra thousand island dressing on the side to dip my fries in.” Paxton has seen people stuff their fries into their burgers, but that’s too much for him. “When I’m not sitting in my car, because it gets messy.” And he’s currently wearing a white button down. He doesn't want to have to scrub with Shout when he gets home. 

The cone hat is discarded to his back seat, and Paxton removes his cloak next to toss in with it. “It was an animated short series that aired on Cartoon Network. Very short, very fall-feeling. It’s an easy watch, something I binged on a weekend while I was in college.”

@sweetascandyamira

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira didn't really do anything fun like that with her food, she just sort of ate it. It was really cute that he made everything just a little extra creative, though. It was a part of his charm. "I can certainly see how it gets messy, maybe next time we will wear t-shirts and we can try it that way," she suggested, with a light smile. Although she wasn't actually sure that she owned any casual t-shirts that weren't specifically for the gym. She had a very specific way that she typically dressed and it was kind of high effort. Everything she did was kind of high effort but she didn't really know how else to be.

"Maybe I'll check it out since it's a short watch, although I'm probably going to picture a little cartoon of you the whole time," she teased, as she adjusted her wig a little bit. She would take it off but then her hair would be kind of messy and she didn't really want to look a mess.

Lalita had to hand it to her; the dress was pretty damn cool. She wasn’t a Disney girl by any means. Lalita always found them to be sort of the same but she would have been if she had seen this level of creativity. However when they bumped Lalita was annoyed she was looking at the dress and not where she was walking “ o blame the dress. it’s pretty damn creative though. Some people wouldn’t even try to go this route but it sticks out in a good way” she noted. “ it shows the effort. “ @sweetascandyamira

[sweetascandyamira]

"Thank you, that's really sweet. I've always been one to put in a lot of effort," Amira smiled. It was true, considering she tried really hard at absolutely everything she did. The shop, her costumes, her candy, handmade decorations, and projects filled her calendar. She really never did anything half-assed. "I love your costume too, I don't recognize what it is from but it looks really cool," she added, as she moved the blonde bangs out of her eyes. She didn't want much TV but she looked kind of like a cartoon spy in a way, but a sexy one. Although she wouldn't say that part out loud. @xlalitax

"Oh, thank you!" Mei looked down at herself, smiling brightly. "It was my daughter's idea. Although I bet she'd pick yours over mine any day. She's big on Disney." Her smile faded a bit though when an unknown man touched the woman in front of her and she wrinkled her nose a bit before letting out a breath and nodding. "Sure. Would you like a drink? Consider it repayment for smacking into one another?"

[sweetascandyamira]

"That's so sweet, I had someone take a photo of me earlier because she wanted to show her daughter, I thought it was just the sweetest thing," Amira said, with a light giggle. She could see herself doing some sort of princess day at the candy parlor. It would be so cute with decorations and little treats and costumes. She was always looking for her next project. "Sure, that would be lovely," she nodded, taking any excuse to get away from all of the people for a moment. She didn't really drink but considering it took her three hours to drink the first one she wasn't exactly going to feel it if she sipped on a second one. "What do you like to drink?"

[gavin-carrigan]

Gavin had gone to the party just to have a bit of fun for the night but he seemed to lose track of where people were ending up. Thankfully there were only a couple duplicates of costumes so it was easy to find people but when someone bumped into him; the singer took a step back to prevent his drink from spilling on them. “ shit are you okay? “ he asked before giving her an apologetic smile. “ it’s really okay “ @sweetascandyamira

[sweetascandyamira]

"Yes, sorry... hi," Amira stumbled more with her words than her movements. Once she was able to take a step back she offered the man an apologetic smile. It was refreshing to find people who were nice about these things, it was so crowded it was hard not to bump into people. "Thanks, sorry again, I'm Amira," she offered, as she took a moment to look at his costume. "Jimi Hendrix?" she asked, attempting to speak over the music. @gavin-carrigan

[paxton-brady]

A couple of hours into the party, Paxton found it to be enough of his time. His social battery has depleted, and he doesn't really care about the costume contest. When he saw Amira and she expressed that she shared that same sentiment, he suggested they ditch and get food.

He tails after her, squeezing through all the ghouls and sexy vampires and movie characters, until they are free from it and make an easy line to the exit. Once out the door, Paxton pulls his red cone hat from his head. "Uh, sure. I'm good to drive." He only had two beers, and it's been an hour since his last one. "I'm parked over here." He leads her over, letting go of her hand now that they have space to move.

"What are we thinking? In'N'Out? Jack in the Box? Or are we going to go classic Wendy's?"

@sweetascandyamira

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira offered a smile when he agreed to drive, not really wanting to dig into her truck for her driving shoes at the moment. She wore heels a majority of the time but couldn't manage to drive in them so she always kind of swapped them out. Sort of a weird little quirk that she didn't really feel the need to share with Pax at this very moment. The thought escaped her mind when he asked her to pick what kind of fast food they were going for.

"Wendy's is normally my go-to, but I don't remember the last time I had in'N'Out, so let's go there," she suggested, with a small shrug. She preferred Wendy's if she was in the mood for nuggets, but a burger appealed more to her at that moment. "So, tell me about your costume. I've never seen the cartoon you mentioned inside and I didn't want to have to scream over the music talking about it," she giggled.

@paxton-brady

[fiaxsouza]

"Great!" Fia nodded. Seeing as Chase was nowhere in sight, she figured it'd be better to befriend someone in her waiting that lull alone in her growing misery. "Why Aurora?" It definitely wouldn't have been the first handful of princesses that Fia would have thought about dressing up as for Halloween. The only reason that she was portraying Jasmine because her quarterback husband was insistent on being Aladdin. They did turn out great in the end though, so there were no complaints here. "Uh, sure. We can do a photo," she said offering them a small smile.

[sweetascandyamira]

When she asked why she picked Aurora, Amira shrugged as she looked down at her costume. "I kind of liked the idea of incorporating the whole magic shift from blue to pink," she answered, thinking about the fact that this costume was probably the most complicated to pull off as far as the Disney Princesses went. At least the color-changing version of it. "What made you pick Jasmine?" she returned, although that was certainly one of her favorites of the princesses. She pulled out her phone to take a quick selfie, before making sure to get photo approval.

[themeixhuang]

Mei really only came out of curiosity and wanting to see the costumes since she had a feeling that people here would be very elaborate in their choices and so far, she was glad she'd been right (even if she had seen some....questionable choices). Currently her attention was on someone who was....a sexy pickle? And it'd caught her off guard enough that she didn't realize it til it was too late and she'd smacked into someone. Immediately whirling around, Mei Lian gave them an apologetic little smile, shaking her head. "No! No, totally my fault. My attention was definitely..elsewhere."

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira offered a soft smile when the other woman returned her apology. She never really knew what to expect when she was out and about in this atmosphere. She took a quick moment to look over her costume before the smile grew. "I love your witch costume, it's so cute!" There were a lot of ways someone could do the witch look, but this was her favorite. She was taken out of her thoughts when a man put his hand on her lower back to move past her. "Let's try keeping our hands to ourselves, thank you very much," she said, as she removed his hand. "Do you want to chat out of the crowd?"

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira had never been much of a party girl. In school, she always had her nose in the books and filled all of her free time with extracurriculars that she considered to be useful. Now that she had the shop and could actually take a little time for herself she felt incredibly uncomfortable in the crowd. She loved seeing all of the costumes and would dance to the occasional Taylor Swift song, but this was clearly a place meant for people who wanted to get drunk and she'd been sipping on the same drink for the past three hours. It was mostly melted ice when Pax asked if she wanted to ditch and grab some food. The combination of getting out of the sweaty club and being able to talk to Pax without yelling over the music was something she didn't even bother to think about before saying yes. She grabbed his hand so that they wouldn't be separated as they made their way through the crowd and out into the parking lot. "Would you mind driving? I can't really drive in heels."

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira: I'll try not to talk your ear off about it Amira: But I'm not going to make any promises :) Amira: I'm free today... if you aren't busy?

[paxton-brady]

Paxton: Wouldn’t bother me any, talk away Paxton:I’m actually free this afternoon. Paxton: 3:30 sound good? I leave work at 3

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira: Hopefully you don't regret that when you see how much I can talk Amira: When comfortable Amira: Sounds Perfect! See you then :)

jude had picked ghostface on purpose for his costume. that illusive element of anonymity was hard to justify in real life, but at a costume party, it was part of the charm. he could drink (under the mask, the logistics of getting his glass under the mask was something he was working on), vibe to some music, and not get asked to dance. if there was a time to play into the stereotype the town had thrusted upon him, the time was now. pitty he didn't cut a hole into the costumes mouth so he could go out and have a smoke. navigating around the outskirts of the dance floor, jude ghostface parks himself against the wall with a whisky in hand.

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira was oddly particular about which songs she danced to. Some of them were fun and light-hearted, but others were a more sexual style of music and she would take those as an opportunity to take a break and do a little people-watching. There were so many different costumes, which was fun to see but she only recognized maybe half of them. When she left the dance floor this time around she found a place next to a man with a black robe and white mask. "What's your costume from?" she asked, offering a bubbly smile. She had seen the costume before but never knew what it was from; although it seemed popular.

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira: If you did rob a bank you would probably get away with it Amira: Because no fingerprints. Amira: Also because you give Hufflepuff energy and no one would suspect a Hufflepuff. :)

[paxton-brady]

Paxton: I only read one Harry Potter book so... Paxton: Not sure what a Hufflepuff is, so I'll have to take your word for it. Paxton: Have a specific date in mind for the pumpkin carving?

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira: I'll try not to talk your ear off about it Amira: But I'm not going to make any promises :) Amira: I'm free today... if you aren't busy?

[paxton-brady]

Paxton: That's a smart investment. Paxton: But if I do lose my fingertips, it means I could try to rob a bank. Paxton: Because no fingerprints. Paxton: Who am I kidding I couldn't rob a bank

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira: If you did rob a bank you would probably get away with it Amira: Because no fingerprints. Amira: Also because you give Hufflepuff energy and no one would suspect a Hufflepuff. :)

[fiaxsouza]

The Sousa was ready to go. Her old-lady tendencies were at an all time-high and she could not deal with the sticky atmosphere, the bumping and complete lack of spatial awareness that was palpable in this room. The irritation was growing and she was trying her best to keep her cool. Chat with the few friends she's established since arriving to town and smiling over at her partner every time he looked her way. Hoping a glass of chardonnay would calm her nerves, she was mid-sip when the liquid splashed out of the glass and onto her wrist. "For the love of God," she murmured under her breath before turning to see who the culprit was. "It's fine. It's fine. You're very...flowy. Are you enjoying the night's festivities so far?"

[sweetascandyamira]

Amira was glad that the other woman was forgiving because she would have beaten herself up about this all night. "Thank you, it's been fun," she nodded, although this certainly wasn't her normal form of entertainment. She would likely be having more fun if she drank along with everyone else, but she didn't love the idea of relinquishing control like that. "I love your costume, we should take a picture together since we are both Disney Princesses," she suggested, a smile forming on her lips as she thought about making that her goal of the night. She needed a picture with Carrie too since she was dressed as Cinderella.
