Open Zombie Your Own Boss

[Connor Holland]

((Open after Kris))

Connor had always enjoyed dressing up for Halloween, relishing the chance to be someone other than himself and act an unfamiliar role, just for the night. This year he had gone all out dressing himself up as a zombie, smeared with face paint and false blood as he shambled around the Great Hall. Despite his other personal issues, it was a relief not to be clenched tight with the fear of encountering Lucas as he went about his day; mending the rift between them had gone a long way to mend his feelings about life in general. He was enjoying just shambling around the hall without fear, giving the odd first year a threatening groan just to sell his zombie persona. It was hard to stay in character when he saw Kas though, fighting back laughter at the sight of his roommate looking so.... preppy. He shambled over to Kas, arms raised and groaning loudly. "BRAAAAAAINS..." He moaned, face lolling as he shuffled closer. "PREPPY BRAAAAAINS..."

 

[Kasim Safir]

Kas quirked an eyebrow as Connor approached him, pointedly sliding his sunglasses down his nose to give him a well-practiced, unimpressed look. "Uh huh. Yeah, I don't think so, my father would never allow it," he said loftily, swinging his bag over his shoulder and tilting his hips cattily. Kas tried not to focus on how much easier it felt to joke around with Connor when they were both pretending to be someone else. Pretending their relationship wasn't weirdly charged these days was a losing battle and for once Kas wanted to just indulge in some fun without second guessing everything action or word out of his mouth.

 

[Freya Song]

Freya was choosing to be obnoxious as possible and drop glitter wherever she walked, and was seriously considering having this be an every day look. She'd spent hours working on her costume and had finally judged her charms adequate for public viewing. She tracked down the two people she was looking for and grinned to herself. Connor's zombie costume made her nostalgia for past Halloweens, and she was feeling a little melancholy about this being her last one at Hogwarts. Kas's entire vibe was simultaneously terrifying to her and begging to be mocked. "You both look stupid!" Freya cupped her hand around her mouth and shouted across the room, hurtling towards the two of them. She wanted to make the most out of the event, and that definitely included infecting everyone with glitter. "Neither of you are nearly sparkly enough," Freya pitched up her voice and giggled, wiggling her dress so silver sparkles cascaded all around her.

 

[Connor Holland]

It was hard not to laugh at Kas's comment but Connor kept himself under control, gurgling as he got closer and tried to nibble on Kas's arm, doing his best not to get face paint or fake blood anywhere on his costume. He was distracted from his delicious human feast by another familiar voice, looking over to see Freya barrelling over. "MAGIC BRAAAAAAINS!" He groaned, quickly lurching towards her instead, trying not to think about how disappointed he was not to be alone with Kas. They weren't even alone. This was a party.

Kas glanced over from where Connor was messing with his arm, trying to decide if he had the drive to move it when he heard someone yelling at them across the hall, rolling his eyes fondly behind his sunglasses when he saw it was Freya. "Surely you can fix that," he said dryly when she joined them, apparently dubbing them both unsparkly, tugging on a lock of her currently red hair speculatively. "I think your business model needs work if you're just going to shuffle after anyone with a brain, darling," he told Connor as he shifted his attention to Freya as well, light brushing a hand along his arm where Connor had just been.
