Hello, my fellow Gooseberrians! I hope y'all are doing well on this blustery October afternoon :) The Halloween dance is right around the corner and if you haven't started thinking about your costumes, now is the time! Think of this as a great place to bounce ideas off one another. Y'all know me, I'm always willing to pitch in my two cents.

Once you have a good idea of what you're thinking of going as, please let me know. The prefects are planning a costume crafting night this Saturday, Oct. 22nd in the main lodge from 7-9:30pm. Prospero and Mrs. Acuña will be there to help make sure your costume is just perfect. There will also be quite a few prefects in attendance, so please don't worry about needing a buddy to walk you back to your cabin.

It would help me a lot if you could tell me what sorts of supplies you will need in advance. I hope to see you all there!

[HB/G & Prefects]

Are we still doing a group costume or have we diverted? Just wondering!

I have been called the master crafter before, if you need anything more than just sewing and glitter, I can help.

[chryseis]

Thanks, Trixie! How's your costume coming along?

Prefects&c

[quinning]

In some weird, alternate universe I actually see the group costume as being less work than coming up with one alone.

So yes, I still want in on that.

Prefects&c

[chryseis]

As Robin might say, it's easier to be sheeple.

But I think it would be fun! I know some of us have been asked already and are doing couple costumes or different group costumes and that's okay! But what do the rest of us want to do?

Prefects&c

[birdbrainy]

Oh please, yes, help.

Prefects

[knightly]

Yes, agreed. I am fully willing to admit that it would be a relief to let Cricket worry about my Halloween costume rather than doing all the worrying myself. But of course, then I'd have to worry that I'm putting an unnecessary burden on Cricket, and we'll be right back where we started.

Do you have any thoughts over which Greek goddess you'd like to be, Quinn? Or Greek god, I suppose.

C&T

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

Ooh I picked one!

C&T

[chryseis]

A costume or a boy?!

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

This is rIGHT UP MY GOD. DAMN.

YES I will be there
I have some fabric and my dress form and all kinds of stuff
I can help people too if they want
YES HALLOWEEN IS THE GREATEST

[datasstho]

Little excited there, buddy? I'm going out on a limb here, it's hard to tell.

[chryseis]

I'm glad you're so excited!!! I'll take all the help I can get. Do you know what you're going as?

[HB/G & Prefects]

[choneychurch]

I've diverted. Sorry. I didn't think we'd pinned anything down for certain yet and since I'm going with Levi, I thought we should. But you guys will look great.

And I'll still be coming on Saturday to help out and work on some things. So just let me know what I can do, Cricket?

[HB/G & Prefects]

[chryseis]

Don't apologize! Are you going with the Alice and Wonderland bunch?

Just bring your usual charming self :)

[HB/G & Prefects]

[quinning]

But we had the perfect costume for you, Dionysus! You wouldn't have had to change a thing; you're basically already the Greek god of drunken stupors and fabulous orgies.

[sylla]

I may be attending, I fear I may have to clean the fake blood stains off of my dress rethink my costume choice.

[chryseis]

What were you thinking of being?

[paytee.insanejournal.com]

Oh yeah that's happening ain't it.

[chryseis]

It is. Do you need help with your costume, Wes?

Prefects&c

[peanutbuttercup]

We were doing a group costume?

Prefects&c

[knightly]

Oh, it was just the senior prefects discussing it, but I don't think any reason why other prefects can't get in on this if they wish. We might start running out of the really cool names for Greek gods, though.

[doused.insanejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm excited to sew something more ambitious than repairs on my uniforms.

[quinning]

You can always sew repairs on my uniforms if you're looking for a change of pace.

Prefects

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

I claim Poseidon.

And I'll be on hand to wrangle children and organize for the costuming event, but I am very un-artistic in that area.

Prefects

[chryseis]

Ooooh, good choice! You can spray naughty children with aguamenti.

That's okay. Wrangling children is the hard part. Leave the glue guns and glitter to me.

Prefects

[fillefidele.insanejournal.com]

I've no idea what I want.

Prefects

[chryseis]

I want somebody to be Nike! I think the big wings would be fun.

Prefects&c

[browbeats]

My original costume idea is apparently in poor taste or whatever so

There's a more minor god called Momus that's the personification of satire and mockery. He got kicked off Mt. Olympus for being so needlessly rude.

I call Momus.

Prefects&c

[doused.insanejournal.com]

And he's a twin. To top it off.

Prefects

[noblewon]

But I was going to Sure, I guess that sounds good.

Hermes sounds good for me.

Prefects

[noblewon]

No wait, scratch that. ARES!

[all-apologies.insanejournal.com]

I was just going to wear my bear hat?

[chryseis]

We can make you a whole bear suit!

[orangepip]

I love that you say y'all.

I'm going as Merida! I've already made my dress but I still need to do the ruffles and add the finishing touches, so mostly I'll be sewing. Oh, but I also need to make fake arrows! So for supplies I'll need dowelling rods, feathers and glue, as well as pins, cotton, a needle and scissors.

Thank you for organising this! It's going to be so much fun and I can't wait to see everyone else's costumes!
