On the Halloween after their Disney trip in your Azalea universe, what do Louis, Lestat and Claudia get dressed as? Does the Azalea do Halloween events?
you know what, I wanted to do a Halloween fic, but I got completely sidelined. maybe next year!!
so I think they would definitely do a Halloween themed night! basically half of Lestat’s acts could be repurposed for Halloween tbh, but she loves a concept so she’s probably going to do something new. Maybe she debuts her Marie Antoinette with the baby eating and the decapitation! I think Claudia is allowed to watch her perform as a special treat sometimes, and this is one of those times.
I am really drawing a blank on costumes for the whole family but what I do know is that Claudia has been demanding very niche costumes since she could talk and has never set foot in a Party City. Think like, the frilliest most bioluminescent sea slug you’ve ever seen, or a chupacabra, or Moth Man. (They do not know how she knows what Moth Man is). Tbh by the time they’ve finished her costume they probably have little desire to start thinking too hard about their own. Louis will definitely wear a bit of makeup on Halloween, much to Lestat’s delight, and Lestat obviously has an entire room of costumes to pick and choose from, but I think their trick or treating costumes are like, Vampire Gentlemen rather than anything too elaborate. (though obviously Lestat has a whole spiel about how he’s a vampire from the 18th century, and Louis is from the 1900s, and he turned Louis into a vampire in the church — and this is when the people answering the door usually close it politely in his face.)
I think Lestat is slightly creeped out by the concept of trick or treating, but Claudia will not be deterred so they’re all traipsing round the neighbourhood oohing and aahing at decorations and costumes. Louis is the kind of parent who won’t let you eat all your candy in one night even if it IS a special occasion and Lestat is the kind of parent who agrees with him solely because he wants to eat all your candy while you’re asleep.
