[Wait.
Wait, wait wait. If it's about themed costumes and gods...]
Hey.
actually
What about if we leveraged your werewolf form? If we did that, then you could be Anubis! And I could be someone else. Another god, or something. But if you don't like that idea, then it's alright.
no subject
We could wrap you in linen and say I embalmed you.
[The one context in which a mummy costume makes sense to him....]
no subject
I don't want to disrespect your culture with a poor choice. But...if there's anything my shade form can capitalize on, feel free to steer me right. I'm sure I can pull something off for a Halloween get-together. The linen would be an easy costume though.
And...I do want to do this. I want to do something with you for Halloween. That's...it's a special time because it's my favorite holiday, but...also because that was a special time for us.
[Ryou keeps it vague. Veeery vague, because this is a monitored network, on both sides, and he's exceedingly aware of it right now. But...he's sure Atem would understand his emotional investment.]
no subject
What about a grim reaper? That's something the shade form would work well for...the glowing eyes would look scary under a hood, and the claws would look impressive around a scythe!
Also, it wouldn't be as complicated as your white wizard outfit.
[HE REMEMBERS WHY RYOU'S EMOTIONAL ABOUT HALLOWEEN ALL RIGHT.]
no subject
That's actually a really good idea, and I should be ashamed for not thinking it up. Thanks for the idea, Atem. I'd be happy to go to a party as your partner in death. :)
[Ryou seems happy with this outcome, if a little embarrassed he hadn't come up with something so cool on his own. He's the go-to guy for creepy and unsettling, and yet he'd completely overlooked the Grim Reaper...?
He must be more out of it than he initially thought...but this conversation is helping, somewhat.]
I think it being such an easy costume to make is a great sell for it. For putting it on, and taking it off.
[Ha ha ha.]
no subject
[They are definitely talking about the same thing, if what Atem goes on to say doesn't confirm it.]
I miss you.
no subject
:( I miss you too. the e+lplex is painful to be in without you. i still have Nanami and Beat, but i'd rather be back in the apartment with you.
no subject
[And, attached to that...
...is a pixellated picture of Tybolt. It's fine. Everything's fine!]
no subject
First off, he's touched by Atem's conviction. It's like a salve against his hurt, and it does give him faith that he won't be stuck in Felfri forever, unless he takes drastic means of putting himself back in Ryslig.
But also LOOK AT THAT LION. IT'S PIXELLATED BUT THAT'S A CUTE LION.
He needs to recover from the sheer power of that perfect composition...]
Oh he's so good, look at how nicely he stayed put for that picture
i hope i am back for halloween. i want to spend it with you two.
...thank you, Atem. for everything. i'm not sure i could keep my spirits up without you.
