A Season of Change | | Elsa + ______

The seasons were changing, and while the queen usually loved cooler weather, she'd found that here, it wasn't nearly as exciting as it had felt back home. At the palace, she'd feel more at ease when the skies turned grey, promising snow, and if they didn't, then she could make up for their lack. But here, Elsa was powerless. She was just as subject to Mother Nature as everyone else, and it was weird.

It also necessitated an update to her wardrobe, and that was why she was hitting the shops on her day off. She'd already stopped by La Mode and had found some lovely sweaters that would keep her as warm as she could possibly get and, she stupidly hoped, would somehow fool herself into thinking that she was normal. Presently, she was sitting outside one of the little cafés with a warm cup of hot chocolate - with extra whipped cream, of course - and enjoying one of the fleeting somewhat decent-temperature and sunny days. Once this was done, she would then decide if she would call it a day or perhaps go pick up Anna and drag her to help with more clothes shopping. Her bags were sitting next to her table, politely out of the way, but when she began moving her foot absentmindedly as her thoughts absorbed her, it fell unnoticed by her and into a passerby's path.

Busy Time After A Night of Frolic

As much as Basil enjoyed the holiday in his own way, it was now busy the next day as reports came in of houses being egged, missing decorations, smashed pumpkins and such. Basil had spent most of his morning doing reports and quickly solving their cases as he went through them.....

Because it beats sitting at my desk, listening to officers groan at how much their head hurts after a night of drinking and partying.

Basil was more then ready to step away from the station to get some air as well as lunch since he skipped breakfast. Bustling out of there as he threw his trench coat on, he hadn't realized that he had bumped into someone till he heard a noise beside him.

"Terribly sorry about that. Are you alright?"

Masquerade Ball // Open

Diablo nervously shifted from one foot to the other, a small glass of half-drained punch in one hand while the other was stuffed in his pocket. He didn't have much by way of a costume, just a nice button-up black shirt and pants. His most elaborate accessory, however, had to be the intricate mask he wore. He wasn't planning on wearing one to the masquerade…in fact he wasn't even planning on attending. He was still nervous after his shakedown by Ratigan, and his face still sported an unpleasant-looking bruise on his jaw, but he'd just hope that everyone simply assumed it was part of his "costume." After a few moments of people-watching, Diablo looked upwards once another song started and frowned for a moment. He wasn't really up on modern music, not unless it was something he could give to Meg to sing for her set. Reaching out gently to the nearest person in front of him, he hesitated a moment before lightly tapping their shoulder from behind. "Excuse me…d-do you know the name of this song?"

False Royalty | | Elsa + _____

Halloween was an interesting concept, Elsa thought. But it also allowed her to step back into familiar shoes, she thought with a smile as she entered the loud room, blue eyes eagerly taking in the scene. While she missed her gown from back home, the blue gown she was wearing was gorgeous and the mask she had chosen only helped her feel more like the queen she was, or had been, at least. Here, she was just an ice cream shop owner. But tonight, she could play the queen once more. Her eyes roamed as she wandered around like a kid in a candy shop, taking in the sight. She was so transfixed on observing the atmosphere, that she rammed into someone's shoulder, stumbling backwards automatically. "Oh I am so so sorry!" She immediately stuttered. This was why she had stayed away from the crowd at her coronation ball - well, one of the reasons why, at least.

Masquerade |Open

Morgana felt like a fish out of water. This was definitely out of her element. Getting all dressed up and attending parties. She wasn't really sure she should be there, but it sounded like fun if all went as planned so it was worth a try. Walking around the ballroom she looked around at the festive decorations. The fake spiderwebs and the streamers that were black and orange and purple. The place definitely had a spooky atmosphere. She could only hope that people would be more occupied with looking at the decorations than they would be looking at her. She felt very over dressed in her black gown, Though, maybe it was the green paint that covered every inch of skin visible that made her feel out of place. Morgana had gone for a combination of costume and formal wear and she didn't see anyone else that seemed to have the same idea. She ran her fingers through her hair that were draped over her shoulder, Exposing the part of her head that was shaved. Not seeing anyone she knew, or at least unable to recognize them she moved over to the wall to wait for someone to show up. There was someone already along the wall feeling the pressure of not talking to them she decided to break it. "It was nice of them to put this together, don't you think? I've never been to a ball before."

Happy Cruellaween || Open

For the first time in a while, Cruella had her hair down. Of course, in this case, it was just for her costume. She wore a long white dress that had very big and open sleeves and her skin was painted in such a way that it had a blue-green hue to it. That's right. Cruella was dressed as Lily Munster. She would have done Morticia Addams or the Monster's Bride but that would have require spraying more of her hair black than she wanted to.

Cruella LOVED Halloween. She wasn't much for being a hit during the trick-or-treating but it wasn't ruining her night either. In fact she saw this as a great chance for some promotion. Along with king or full sized candy bars and M-n-M and Skittles packs, she also dropped in sample sized perfumes and colognes and fortune cookies that when opened, would reveal special sale deals. Parents would love that.

A client she'd finished with was now paying for her things up front with the register girl (or rather, a maid that Cruella had working in her place) who was dressed as Cruella for the day. All her female staff did it. While they told Cruella it was to honor her and to have a bit of fun being as glamorous as she, she knew their true reasons and they were tied to Roger's damn song about how "if [Cruella] doesn't scare you, no evil thing will/ to see her is to take a sudden chill". Whatever, let them have their fun with their Cruellaween or All Cruella's Eve or whatever they called it when they did this. She always docked their pay just a small bit afterward.

But she DID like the sound of that. Cruellaween. In fact, she'd even named her post-Halloween sale the Cruellaween sale.

Cruella had just waved a fond goodbye and Halloween greeting when she heard a "trick or treat" behind her. Absentmindedly, she grabbed her treats bowl without looking at voice's body. She took in the candy beggar. "Aren't you a bit old to be doing this?" She asked jokingly as she offered forth the handful of whatever she'd grabbed, unsure if they were serious or not. "I'm joking, dahling, you look FABULOUS."

The perks to being a shop owner, Elsa discovered, was that when the other employees were on break and the shop was void of customers, she could do whatever. For example, Anna had left the music on, and for once it wasn't something super obnoxious, so she caught herself singing softly along to the catchy tune, and dancing slightly. Turning to put the jar of crumbled peanut butter cups back, she spun around playfully, catching herself when she spun back around to see that someone had come in. Turning the music down, she flushed. "Hi, what can I get you?"

A Well Needed Distraction || Open

Pearl earrings, a chain necklace with a pearl pendant and a women’s watch. Why didn’t the bitch just snag a pantsuit and some pointed toe shoes on her way out? Cruella dove at this rationally. She made sure that the problem did not lie with HER. She checked every floor, three times over, even making her staff search the floors.

"Get it together, Cruella. Get it together; you have a shop to run." She chanted this mantra to herself a few times as she willed herself to stay calm. "You’ll just have to check at home and make CERTAIN you didn’t leave them there or something." This HAD to be a thievery. She wasn’t losing her mind.

Cruella heard someone come in. She breathed slowly out of her mouth, eyes closed. Then, showtime began. She whipped around with a wide red grin and lit up eyes. “Hello and welcome to The Spot. It would be my pleasure to help you with whatever you wish wish, I just ask now -in light of a recent thing- that you keep your hands firmly in your pocket or in tightly balled fists.” She said very flippantly with a chuckle.

She hoped that didn't make her shop sound vulnerable.. Security was very tight. Near-unpickable locks (well.... for her at least), an alarm that would probably scare them off and alert her back at home and the glass was unbreakable. Could it have been-

"So how CAN I help you today?"
