ooc: This post is open to everyone. Your character can drop by IC, metaly or via bendy time too. Whatever works. :) Feel to play and have fun!

Chuck donned his ren faire ruffled shirt and vest once again. Although he would eventually break into the Sandworm costume, he thought to have something costume-ish on in the meantime.

The courtyard outside Chuck and Ellie's apartment was decorated with Halloween lights and spooky decorations. Music played as costumed guests mingled with one another while a couple were helping themselves to the snacks and punch set up on a table at the edge of the courtyard.

Salome had spent a lot of time in California the first part of her summer in fact. Being back brought up some interesting memories, but it's always so nice to be back.

Salome's costume was simple, a blue dress and sandals. Little blue jewels decorated her hair and she carried a basket filled with small white and yellow flowers. She had never dressed up for Halloween, so she may as well use the time to go as what she wanted to be. A water maiden.

Chuck brightened when he saw Salome's and recognized her costume.

He walked over to her and smiled. "A water maiden! What a cool idea!"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Beaming she curtsied and then handed him a little bouquet of yellow and white flowers. "It should be, I stole it shamelessly from you. I hope you don't mind. I think I paid royalties coming out here."

Chuck takes the bouquet. "Thanks Salome." He then chuckles a bit and smiles sheepishly. "Well, I dunno about that. I mean, it's not like I created the creature or anything. I just told you the story."

"You are very welcome, make sure to put them in water so they stay alive longer." Grinning she gives a careless shrug. "I know, but still if you want to look at the big picture I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me - and so on and so on."

"I will do that," Chuck replies with a grin. "And I guess that's one way of looking at it." He glances back at the flowers and excuse himself for a moment. "Be right back."

Chuck returns a couple of minutes later. "I put the flowers in a vase that's now in the living room," he explains.

"I'm into long, drawn out explanations, my new thing." Grinning she looks around and then puts her hands behind her back. "You have a very nice place, Chuck. I do like California, it's nice to be in the sun again."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"That's quite all right with me," Chuck then grins back.

"And thank you. I'm glad you like it here. And!" Chuck begins remembering the conversation about Halloween they had, "It's warm enough here that you can wear whatever costume you want."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"It would get mighty annoying if it wasn't, but I did promise to behave myself." She finally laughs and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.

"This is true, look! Sandals!" She pulled the hem of her dress up enough to show off her toes. "Much better then the farmer outfit I wore trick or treating. Cute with the pumpkin but a little too country for my tastes."

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you start misbehaving, I'll let you know." He then chuckled.

"Pretty," Chuck comments as Salome shows off her sandals. In response to her comment about the farmer's costume, he says, "Yeah, but it matched with Jonba's costume though. By the way, how did he like trick-or-treating?"

"You look absolutely wonderful. Blue looks so good on you. Are you a mermaid?"

"Oh! OH! You must meet Ando!" He takes her hand and leads her to a taller Japanese man dressed just like Hiro, but with a big gun.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Oh, thank you, Hiro! No, I am a water maiden, close, but no tail." Laughing she raises her eyebrows and follows him over to meet Ando.

"Finally, I've heard stories, but never the real thing. . ."

His eyes widened as he looked at the woman Hiro'd brought over. "You're going to marry him?" he asked. She was beautiful. How had Hiro managed it?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Salome laughed, she she glanced over at Hiro. "That's the rumor. I'm Salome, it's wonderful to meet you, I've heard so much about you."

[un-specialando.livejournal.com]

He bowed politely. "He is a very lucky man," he said, smiling. "I'm glad to meet you as well."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

She bowed in return and then took a small bouquet of white and yellow flowers from her basket. "They are good luck and happiness flowers, for as long as they live you'll have good luck." She offered them to him.

[un-specialando.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," he said, glancing doubtfully down at the flowers as he took them. "I'll have to take good care of them, then."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome, I hope that you do so you'll have good luck." With another laugh she glanced down. "I like your suit, very stylish."

[un-specialando.livejournal.com]

He rested his gun against his shoulder. "Thank you," he said again. "You look very nice."

"A water maiden?" He's definitely not heard of one.

"Yes, he is a live person. Salome, this is Ando."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"We've talked about this before, you just don't remember." She grinned at him before leaning in to kiss his cheek. "She lives in the water and when she walks on land flowers bloom and if you pick the flowers you'll be happy and have good luck!"

She hands him one of the bouquets of little yellow and white flowers.

"I have even more than luck," Hiro beams, smelling the flowers. He kisses her on the cheek as his arms go around her waist.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Oh? How's that?" Grinning she wraps her arms around his neck.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"I have a beautiful water maiden. The most lucky man of all." He leans his cheek against hers.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"You are sweet to me, Moon bunny." She murmurs softly, leaning against him and holding him close.
