It's Cassidy's first Halloween at Milliways.

Cassidy wouldn't have made such a big deal about it. It would've been just like any other day.

Except that the moment that he orders a drink from the bar, fwoomp, he's suddenly dressed as an 18th century wanker, complete with a blond wig that won't come off.

"What- what the fuck- no- shitshitshitshit NOOO-"

A napkin appears on the bartop.

Yes.

"No! Whyyyy? Why this? What did I ever do to you??"

Another napkin.

You never pay off your tab?

Cassidy flails his ruffles and blond locks. "Besides that?!"

The Bar only responds with a smiley face.

"SHITE!"

The vampire Lestat is not happy.

(At least he wasn't given fake fangs. A small mercy.)

Cassidy throws his hands up.

"I am not! Jaysus!"

He huffs a breath, blowing long blond hair out of his face.

"Right, then, here you are, in your yoga pants which must be quite comfy, assumin' all the things about me just 'cause I'm dressed like some frilly fop in an itchy wig, an' I don't even know your name. I'm Cassidy, by the way."

"Oh, now, I'm not assuming. I'm suggesting. Proposing."

She offers a hand.

"Tess Mercer."

When he shakes her hand, his skin might feel just a tiny bit too cool for a man who'd just been throwing a tantrum in heavily layered clothing.

"Nice to meet'cha, Tess Mercer. An' I propose that all your suggestions are way off, like, totally way off, believe me. I'm more of a twenty-first century t-shirt an' jeans kinda bloke with a highly minimalist approach to haircare."

She's the kind of person who notices the little details, so these things are filed away in her mind for potential future usage.

"This must be killing you then." She sounds amused. "And what's your name?"

[irish_vagabond]

"It's bloody murder on each an' every one of my sensibilities," he says with dry irritation. "But at least it's only for the night. ...God, I hope it's only for the night. It is, isn't it?"

[ooc: already said his name above ^_^]

[have_no_mercy]

"It was just for the night last year."

Of course, that was last year.

"Who knows what the rules are this time around."

[irish_vagabond]

"...What."

He glances at the Bar, who remains steadfast in her nondisclosure policies.

"Now, then, Tess, don't be kiddin' me here, a bloke's gotta look forward to the end of the evening when this infernal getup reverts back to me own wearables. You ever been put in 18th century clothing? Can't imagine it'd be more comfortable for the ladies."
