What R This - Halloween Plot?!

Crack plot ahoy!

So stealing the plot right from Buffy (sort of), The Madonna Inn is going to experience some weirdness on Halloween.

Basic Premise
There will be a box of costumes that is available at the boutique Monday Oct 29. This can be full costumes or parts of costumes (like a top hat) - whatever it is your pup wants to use. If they use stuff from this box, they will be affected at the Halloween Party that Caroline is organizing.

How is my pup affected?
You get to choose! For one, this plot is optional meaning if you don't want your pup to be involved, they don't have to be. :)

If you do there are 2 options.

Option 1: Your pup changes into the costume on a basic level. So, for example, Mary turns into a vampire, but still knows she's Mary and that she shouldn't be a vampire. Or Regina turns into a human maid and doesn't have any powers, wtf!

Option 2: Your pup changes completely! If they turn into a vampire, they are whatever vampire personality person you want them to be! Your pup is now a princess who faints at the slightest thing and thinks there should be knights rescuing her! You are a legit black cat who wants to chase a mouse and drink cream.


More important information
Some basic rules and question-answering:
  • The plot will last 2 days. Wednesday Oct 31 - Thursday Nov 1. Your character changes the moment they put on the costume on Halloween and by midnight Nov 1 they poof back. This is so Dia de Los Muertos can be celebrated the next day! (Obviously you can backdate things all you want)
  • You won't be able to find any costumes that are 'licensed' meaning no Optimus Prime or Wolverine costume. HOWEVER, anything in the public domain is fair game (But, for example, Aladdin is from the original story and not the Disney version).
  • "But I really had my heart set on Superman!" - You can be superman-esque! What this means is you can be the essence of Superman (a indestructible dude who can fly, has laser beam eyes, and is morally good and just and even thinks that glasses and a tie hides his identity) you just wouldn't be "Clark Kent" and "Superman". If you wanted to a demon like in Supernatural, you could still go black-eye and evil, but you couldn't be Meg specifically.
  • I want my pup to dress up, but not change! - This is totally possible! They just so happened not to pick the costume from the one box that is going to cause the mischief.
  • If you happen to be killed or die somehow, you just would go unconscious and wake up later confused.
  • It is up to you if you want your pup to remember the Halloween shenanigans or not!

    Peter was going to dress up like Tony by putting on some of his clothes and drawing on a fake goatee.

    Is this a possibility still, if he grabs something out of the box to complete the look?

    Curnen is getting a pair of plastic fairy wings because of course she is.

    We are flying all night on Halloween.

    Suggestions for my four are welcome: Moana, Percy, Steph and Caroline.

    Caroline will get to be human again for a couple days. This is very exciting to her.

    No idea for the rest.

    I don't see why not? It'd be an Option 1: He now looks like an older, goateed version of himself dressed as Tony Stark.

    Of mine, I think only Loki is likely to costume, but I don't know whether it will be magic-effect or if so how much. It depends a lot, I think, on whether anyone would want to interact with him during the time.

    The "wouldn't it be funny if..." part of my brain suggested the twins, Percy, and Steph as some group theme costumes, but I have no ideas.

    Also Vex will be over halfway through her pregnancy on Halloween, so I really need to consider if I want magic screwing with that in any way.

    So Curnen's accounted for, but I'm not sure what to do with my other three.

    Corbie and Mildmay need a thing to do together!

    Sunny and Snow are less into the whole idea, but we'll see. If the right idea comes along. And yes, Snow has a black cat now, but I think she'd panic at the idea of being a witch, so not that.

    Hello from the frozen north. How do people live here?

    Anyway...

    Suggestions for mine would be looked upon kindly, though I'm considering dressing Hathaway up like a punk rocker or something

    Like in the Buffy episode Band Candy where Giles and Joyce ended up as teenagers and we're incredibly wild and reckless. :D

    A group costume would be adorable. Because they're not even from Earth, I'm tempted to go full-bore Classic Halloween Monsters. Vex as a witch, Percy a vampire, Vax as a mummy, Steph as... IDK, ghost? Werewolf? The Invisible Woman? Black Lagoon Creature-type fish person?

    RECS PLZ~

    Considering having Yana find devil horns because irony, and transforming into her demonic aspect? But that fruit is hanging so low it's dragging on the ground. >_>

    Vax spends a lot of time in a 'costume,' with or without wings, which makes it harder to brain him a Halloween costume I guess?

    ...Oh my god I literally have an angel and a devil. I'm so cliche. XD

    * Coby will not be affected by the costume magic. His sense of self is shaky enough as is.

    * Corbie and Mildmay, yes, and I'm leaning toward something where he won't have a limp. Or a scar. Somehow. But I have no idea what.

    * Vex likes the idea of a group or couple's costume. And she already has a witch hat ;)

    * Emma doesn't generally dress up for Halloween (it's her cousin's birthday). So someone would have to talk her into a costume, but I feel like, of mine, I could have the most fun with her in this plot. Unfortunately, the only specific idea I had won't work, because it's a licensed character.

    tl;dr - Help me come up with ideas?
