"TRICK OR TREAT!" Kirk blustered in front of one of the many doors in his neighbourhood, as he went on one of his knees and lifted the little pumpkin bucket up towards the houses inhabitants. It was the time of the year, when ghosts were said to roll about the place, and monsters were around the corner. Candy corn shone in Kirks eyes as he tried his trademark shout on a whole new set of doors... Only for them to look at him confused and asking what the boy was doing. Yup, it was halloween, but kind of different from what Kirk had been used to... Heck, he thought the people around the neighbourhood knew him well enough, to not atleast be so angry about him knocking and shouting a little...
Quick trip home later, His Grandpa was outside, carving a pumpkin on his lap. Luckily, it was one of the things that were still easy to get for halloween. "Grandpa... I don`t think I`m gonna get any candy from the houses here for you..." The grandpa smirked, and cleaned the pumpking mush from his knife. "Hehe, about time. Those peeps back home were always a bit soft." As old as Kirk was, he was usually able to get a little bit of candy from the adults, since he put so much effort in sticking to the act. However, the families here weren`t seemingly used to this sort of thing as he rubbed his head. "No other kids asking for candy either!" "Lucky for me! I don`t have the energy to pamper kids anymore." "B-but you are carving that pumpkin just fine!" Doohan gave a disgruntled look in Kirks direction, as he visibly flinched! "Look, if I can`t carve a pumpkin, that`s when you know I am dying, understood!?" "YES GRANDPA!" However, instead of just trick or treating, there was always some kind of party happening due to the event back home... come to think of it there had been posters about it in the city! "Hey, Grandpa!" "Whatcha say?" "Will you be fine, if I leave you alone for a while?! Wanna go check out the festival!" "...What did I just say?" "Uh, that when you stop carving pumpkins you..." "I CAN HANDLE MYSELF! And stop mumbling, I can`t hear your mouse speech." As loud he shouted, he quickly put his hand in his pockets, pulling out some cash, giving it towards Kirk. "Since you can`t get it for free, get an extra big bag for me, and some apples for yourself, you hear? "YES GRANDPA!" And with that the boy was off running, leaving his grandpa behind. "...Wonder if Nichelle wrote down any good recipes for pumpkins..."The trip for quirk was as quick as ever, as he stomped over to the town Plaza, where he had heard this thing was supposed to be taking place. And honestly, just from the sight that he caught only a little further away from his destination, he knew he was in for a good old halloween time! The plaza was full of energy, with all sorts of stands, and lots of adults and kids alike dressed in things! Now this was the halloween spirit he had been craving! Honestly, he had not even really notified the fact that there was a giant mansion in the middle of the park before, despite having ran past it so many times! However, now that it was surrounded by all this light and excitement, it seemed like a looming vampires castle in the middle of a bustling city, where the musical rhythm was bouncing everybody to move a little bit in the beat! Now THAT, was halloween! Now, the first question of all was... What to do first!? "Well, if I wanna have some fun, I don`t wanna do it on an empty stomach!" He quickly rushed over to one of the stands. All sorts of little cartoony biscuits and candies stood in front of him, yet his eyes were caught by these big red apples glazed in something that made them glimmer! "I`LL HAVE TWO OF THOSE!" He pointed at them wildly, as the stallkeep tried to stay on his pace. "Man, you really like apples..." As soon as the lady picked the sticky treats off of her stand, Kirk gripped their sticks tightly! "It`s in character!" Workoutyseus used apples like this for a quick power up during the show when he was a kid! And with his physique, he almost looked liked the character, besides the lack of moustache... the lady however, just watched in confusion as the guy walked off.
His teeth sank into one of the apples... as his eyebrows momentarily wiggled... like workoutyseus, Kirk had always been a bit too weak towards the too sweet stuff. The apples were seemingly glazed with toffee, as he pulled a piece of the apple with his teeth, and the sticky stuff stretched a long way, before it finally snapped, and he munched on it... "Hmmm..." The boys tastebuds were still unsure, as the overly sweet toffee lulled in his mouth, but as soon as his tongue touched the apples juices... "MMMMM!" A grin rose to his face! It calmed the sweetness just perfectly enough, that it wasn´t overbearing to him! Now that that problem was out of the question, he walked proudly around looking at things, with his knees bending to the beat with the music, with a candied apple in each hand... What was next?!

WORD COUNT: TAGGED: TAGGED: Fluffy There were several different personalities present at the different avenues which the halloween setup had to offer. Especially because there were so many different nationalities present as well. For the most part, the whole venture by the mayor took root in traditional Japanese halloween, but with several American inspirations sprinkled in here and there. Carved pumpkins, each expressing its own horrific expression. There were more horror esque costumes, or heroic costumes, inspired by films, movies or even current day heroes. Rin was fairly sure she had seen a handful of Darkshine cosplayers walking around. Then there was the feast prepared. While there were simpler things to acquire, such as hotdogs, simple ramen and the like, there were also more candy esque things than she was used to. Especially the candy apples had taken her interest. Though, for the moment, she was still finishing a simple cup of Ramen, while quenching her thrist by drinking a bit of apple cider. Sighing contentedly, the raven haired female was slow, deliberate, calm. While others were out there to be part of a party, having a blast with the tradition, she was in a much more refined state of mind. Simply taking the time to enjoy herself and unwind after too many weeks of having been pent up. Semper Fi, classes, brother coming to Yuuei.. There were so many things going on which took up space within the girl's mind.Rin had put in a lot of effort to her look this evening. The girl's hair was delicately threaded with the hairpins Jasmine herself had provided as a birthday gift. To the side, Rin had a large pinkish flower portrayed, several smaller pink pearls dangling from it in small strings. Wearing a traditional kimono, the inner layer was dark red with black and golden markings, symbolizing dragon's and dragon claws. The black seemingly at war with the golden. Around her midsection, the girl wore a traditional obi, or sash, in purple and yellow colors, giving it a nice contrast to the red. Because of the cooler weather, she also wore a kimono-robe, which was in much simpler design. Black, with several purple and pink flowers and flower petals scattered across the design. The traditional sandals clicked against the balcony floor, practically revealing her pressence through pure sound, long before she even turned the corner, heading straight for the candy apples. Unintentionally, the girl came in sideways, narrowly getting ahead of Kirk, hardly noticing his pressence at first. There was so much noise around her, that he had been simple tuned out."Uhm, I'd like a single candy apple, please." Rin said in a soft tone, offering a soft bow before the clerk, as she was handed the delicious treat on a stick. As the girl turned around to begin stepping away from the stall, she came face to chest with the enormous male. Freezing in the spot, the girl tilted her head backwards to look up at him. For a short moment, she stood there, completely incapable of moving. Then, a nervous twitch went through her body, as she forced herself to step aside, letting the boy finally get to the stall and order his two portions of candy apples... How on earth could a singular individual, likely around her own age, grow to such massive proportions?... It seemed downright ludicrus to Rin, as she, from a few steps away, kept staring... Should Kirk eye the girl again, she'd very quickly break her gaze upon him, attempting to slink away elsewhere... Even still, Rin had been far too shocked to sink her teeth into the treat she had ordered for herself. The caramelised sugar dripping down the stick, eventually reaching her fingers...

Man, there were a LOT of people! It would have propably been hard for anybody who was sort of regular sized to get through the crowds. However, with Kirk having trained in such sports, that literally made him a juggernaut on the sports field, he was literally made for walking through the thing with no issue whatsoever. Heck, just a little bump wouldn`t be able to get his attention from the ball... well, in this case, a candy apple. However after one of such bumps, and quickfired "Sorry! Coming through!" He couldn`t help but feel like he was being stared at... However, he briefly just shrugged it off. After all, It was obvious someone would look at him! He was in his glorious blue costume! Maybe somebody thought he was an actual hero or something!
Naturally, this need pretty much entered his mind too at the immediate moment after walking away from the stand. His head turned about with all the different people in their outfits. Some were quite obvious for a comic book hero fan like himself. Arachnolad costumes had always been a classic and easy choice. Then there were some actual hero outfits like Darkshines all over the place! A hero that had pretty much made herself the face of the industry, or atleast that`s how Alex kept describing her as. Classic monsters were accounted for, and outright stood out! And then there were some outfits that kirk didn`t recognize whatsoever, and had him scratch his head all sorts of baffled.
One of them, was on this dark haired girl, seemingly with a similar taste in sweets as his... There was so much going on with her outfit, that it was hard for him to combine the aspects of all the parts of it into anything that he had seen before. There was this big flower, a couple of dragons on it even, all on this big black dress! It was really eye catching from the crowd, thats for sure... but there was still the fact that it didn`t exactly seem like anything he had seen before... What was it from exactly... It must have been something distinct, since he could outright hear the small clacking of her weirdish footwear, as she slowly tried to hide from him... However, Kirk didn`t know that, instead thinking that she was just moving somewhere else. However, with his curiousity peaked, Kirk walked towards her semi quickly through the crowd. "Sorry, sorry!" He kept saying, as he finished one of his apples and threw the stick away.
As soon as he was in a range where it was not too awkward to shout towards a stranger (a little bit farther than that taking that it was KIRK doing it), he proceeded to loudly proclaim "Hey! You in the black dress!" in his classic excited yet loud tone. "Wait for me!" If the girl didn`t outright run, it would be very easy for him to reach her, with the quick steps he was taking. If he did reach her, He had some choice words to say. "That`s a real cool costume you`ve got on!" Now that he was closer he could get an even better look at it... He scratched his head, visibly intrigued yet confused. "Although I gotta ask, what are you dressed up as?" But man, it was such a cool design. One of those folks that made things themselves like Mari, gotta be it...
"Actually, wait a minute!" He got it! "It`s some book character right!?" That would make the most amount of sense. Afterall, Kirk didn`t read too much.

WORD COUNT: TAGGED: TAGGED: Fluffy Unbeknownst to Rin, the girl's traditional attire had caught attention yet again. Out in the world, it had been quite the eye catcher. For those that knew Rin, it was because she looked significantly different to her regular attire. It was because she had put a lot of effort into every aspect of her visual presentation. Hair, eyes, make-up, dress. It was all pristine. For those that did not know her, it was rather uncommon, even in Japan, to see traditional outfits taken to these levels of perfection. Rin, not overly used to this much attention, was crudely reminded of why her general attire failed to stand out. Perhaps that was part of why she struggled with her hero costume. It, compared to her regular attire, stood out far beyond what she'd have hoped for. Being a hero meant standing out. It was something that she'd simply have to come to terms with. The more they practiced, the more at ease she came with it. Which is why she was able to wear the traditional outfit to begin with. Even so, prepared for quite a few stares, Rin had not been prepared for a stranger literally shouting at her. Hey, you, in the black dress! Startled, Rin stopped completely dead in her tracks, turning around to see the enormous boy, man, creature, splitting the metaphorical waters of people to approach her. Eyes widening, she defensively and instinctively rose her arms in front of her own body. Indicating quite clearly that if he came too close, he'd be entering her personal space and make her uncomfortable. Well, more uncomfortable than she already was, attempting to deal with his... oncoming personality."Uh.. Thanks?.." Rin was flabbergasted. The large male had simply come to a complete halt. Of all the things that took enough importance to cause such a scene, this boy had considered her costume important enough. To cross the room, to shout openly. All because her costume was, in his words, real cool. As he came to question the origination of the outfit, Rin just tilted her head sideways in confusion. However, before she got to explain, he began guessing. Somewhere in the back of her mind, Rin had to give him some credit. A book character. That'd have captured a large majority of possible costumes. Unfortunately, despite throwing out the largest net, Kirk caught nothing. "Not quite. This is simply a traditional Japanese outfit, for honoring the dead. If anything, it'd be closest related to the Shinigami. Impersonating one such, would however, be quite offensive to tradition... This 'costume' is meant to honor those traditions." Rin explained in a calm tone, now quite aware that Kirk was not exactly traditional. Given his size, his skin tone, his physique in general, it was quite likely he wasn't even Japanese."What about you..? I can't say I recognize the outfit you're wearing." Rin took a soft step backwards, offering him a gentle smile. There needed to be but a bit more distance between them. Now that the girl was more aware of his intentions, had encountered his atmosphere and overall demeanor, Kirk wasn't excactly frightening to her. The situation had instead just turned ever so slightly awkward. Quietly lifting the candy apple to her lips, Rin took a bite. Licking the glazing off of her lips, it was far too sweet. Rin had never been one to indulge much in candy, though once a year surely wasn't too much. So, just this once, she would savor the sweet treat with a smile on her lips.

As soon as Kirk emerged from the ground, the girl was hiding behind her hands, all sorts of scared looking. The only words she got out of her mouth were an awkward thanks for his praises. Kirk looked a bit confuddled why she was so scared for a moment, until he physically realized it, with his own hands raising a bit, with his leg space widening. "O-Oh yeah! Sorry for intrusion!" He snapped his legs together and arms onto his side, as he bowed a little. He still wasn`t exactly the best one at reading people. And of course, taking that HE had initiated on her yet again, just proved the point. "Couldn`t help it though, it`s eye catching!" He lifted his thumbs up, trying to emphasize that he was not that dangerous.
However, the answer to his question about what she was dressed up turned out to be a bit more longwinded than he had expected. There was a minor "Ugh!" That exited his mouth when he heard that his answer was wrong. "One more to the pile..." However, apparently, the costume was not actually any character, but just a traditional wear for festivals like these. "Well, that explains the fanciness atleast!" He nodded. The implication that she might be dressed up as something, a "shinigami" specifically (whatever that was), was an insult to tradition though. A thing that made Kirk raise an eyebrow. It almost gave the image that she was dressed up all proper just cause she was afraid she would insult someone by wearing what she actually wanted.
"Oh come o...-" He lifted his hand towards Rin to give a gentle pat on the shoulder, only to pull it back before he managed to do it. Ugh, it was a Naoru situation again... For Kirk, it was a little bit hard to work with meek people, but he tried his best, as he simply scratched his head, with the sweet apple on his other hand. "Halloween you know is time when you SHOULD be dressed up as something like that, though! You know, keeps the whole legacy of the monsters going and what not!" He smiled as he proceeded to do something with his hand, rolling it in the air. "I bet that uh... Shigamini would love this sort of stuff!" He himself had even heard stories back home, that halloween was a tradition because the monsters wanted to walk among humans for one day! It was maybe a bit fantastical, but he really liked it.
However, when asked about his own costume, his eyes lit up, like flaming candles. "Oh this?! I am glad you asked!" The girl even took a step back to give him some space! He proceeded to hop a bit, pulling his legs backwards, as he did a couple of push-ups and clapped in beat while saying "WOR-KING-OUT!" And on the last motion bounced back to standing, whilst taking a pose, with his arm pushed to the side proudly. "It`s workoutyseus! This live action character from back home!" He proceeded to lift his candy apple up. "And this stuff is his favourite... well, without the sugar of course!" He proceeded to bite down on it almost reflexively... only for his impression to turn a bit rigid. You see... he hadnt exactly dropped the apple in any good position, and instead had taken it with him to a trip downstairs... thus, one side of it was completely sand covered. and You can sort of guess which side he bit down on. The girl might have noticed it, but he didn`t.
"Ugh..." He started to look around for a bin... "Anyways... thats what he is. This energetic musclebound work out machine! If he was around these days, he would be a proper hero I think!" He just proceeded to spin the now ruined apple in his hand like a little baton... He wondered for a moment. "Though yeah, he is american so... no wonder you don`t know him I suppose!"
