There was a small bubble of anxiety that rose in her as Matt began looking at other photos, and she could feel the blood rush to her cheeks when he brought up the 'Throne Scene'. "Yeah it happened in the book it was.... Really nice." She admitted, chuckling a little as she put her phone back in the pocket her vest had. "You should do it! Dress up and show me. Put on a little Xaden fashion show." The fact that he was so gung-ho about a book he hadn't read yet was endearing. "You do have some serious cake there Mr. You're like a nice red velvet or a black forest. Rich and delicious." Stacey moved to run a hand through her hair but stopped for a second, remembering that she had on a wig. The move would have really messed up the braid she'd done. "I'd probably pee my pants if i ever saw one, be it horse or dragon. They're both majestic creatures, both of which i know nothing about."

"I mean, I'm in leather, I could take the wig off and be a very flat haired Sandy for a few minutes." Stacey replied, only to shrug. She didn't really know the moves, other than a few shimmies here and a stepping of a cigarette there, but she was willing to improvise. "I mean, a bit, but i'm definitely not Olivia Newton-John worthy."

"Go me! I remember it sounded cool. Hell, if I could give myself my name, it probably would start with an X or Z. Matt leaned in as Stacey brought up an image of the guy and whistled. "Dude's fucking hot, damn." He said as he moved to look at the other images and tapped on one, laughing. "People are creative as fuck when it comes to drawing these sex scenes. Is that one that happened in the book?" It's a picture of a throne, and VERY NSFW activity is happening there. "Oh, yeah? I have some leather pants but nothing like this. I'm tempted to put it together even before I check out this book. And fuck yeah, my buns will rival Mothman's! I've got some serious cake." He said as he turned around and shook his groove. "Dragons would intimidate me; I won't act like I'll be some brave fucker about it, but if you tame them like horses, you can build a strong bond with one."

Matt quirked a playful brow, grinning at her song suggestions. "You're the One that I Want?" He asked, picturing this. "Do you know some of the dance moves from that song? Too bad we don't have a carnival here, or we can recreate some of it." Matt LOVES to put on a show.

DONT GET ME STARTED.

I dont know where this year went even if I like Christmas. It was like bAM. Lightspeed.

Smashmouth was right - the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'!

Now that Halloween's over, the countdown to Christmas break is on. I already know that the days are going to fly by. It doesn't even seem like it should be November yet. Where are the days even going though?

[staceylevcns]

"That's the name of him!" She replied with a chuckle, nodding excitedly. "Heck ya he does. They're called flight leathers - Xaden and Violet are students at this military dragon academy, it's weird and wild. But yeah.." She paused then, pulling out her phone to quickly pull up a picture of Xaden she had saved so that Matt could see what she meant. He definitely wasn't her background (yet) so that was a saving grace at least. "LOOK AT THIS SEXY MOTHER FUCKER. He's hot as shit for a fictional character." she paused then, cocking her head and surveying Matt seriously. "I can totes see you rocking the look, you'd be a smoke show! Your ass would rival that of mothman's with the leather." The idea of Matt decked out in leather had her shivering slightly, and she hoped he wouldn't catch it. "Though, dragons scare me - I'd love to be in that sorta world just for like a day."

She felt like the energizer bunny, or at least like she was physically vibrating from all the sugar she'd consumed. Maybe she needed to take a break on the candy for the night.

"I was thinking something like from Grease, or even 'I Got You Babe' but like whatever works. I'll sing whatever." Stacey replied, offering him a playful wink. "It went by like a flash. You looking forward to the holidays, or are you more of a Halloween kinda guy?"

"Oh, do you? Then dazzle me with these surprises! I'm all ears." he said, leaning back slightly and crossing his arms as if waiting for her to put on a show for a talent show or America's Got Talent. When she proved she was about to bend and move around in that getup, Matt nodded with approval, though it did plant some not-so-innocent mental images in his noggin. He's unsure how to feel about those since there's a bit of an age gap between them, but it doesn't mean he hasn't....noticed her. "Does the Xaden, is that the name of the dude? Does he wear something similar to what you've got on? I bet I can rock the shit out of that look. Too bad dragons aren't real because I'll be all up on one of those. How badass would that be?"

He considered this and then struck his hand out towards her to shake. "Deal. You've got a duet in mind? I tend to favor anything from the 80s or 90s. I'm a sucker for that Starship song from Mannequin." Matt admitted with a chuckle, remembering how many times he'd seen that movie as a kid. He had a thing for Andrew and Kim, which was one of the first movies to awaken his bisexual curiosity. "If you need to guzzle a bucket of liquid courage, I won't judge. Much." He said, nudging her with his elbow as he moved to stand next to her while some people walked past them to get to the dance floor. Matt nabbed another Reese's Peanut Butter pumpkin and unwrapped it. "I can't get over we're near the end of October. Where the fuck did this year go?"

[staceylevcns]

o b v i o u s l y.

...................UH NO. I'll gladly take some off your hands. I'll risk the cavities to save your candy from people who aren't me.

Purely catastrophic, obviously.

I have more leftover Halloween candy than I know what to do with, and I know you've already hit up the half-price sales. Am I gonna have to take this all into work and leave it in the break room?

[staceylevcns]

Can you imagine how bad it would be if I used my powers for evil?

AS YOU SHOULD BE!!! (Thank you for thinking of my precious tastebuds, because im not a max snack fan.)

At least you only use your powers for good, not evil.

I'll be proud of you AND Max, if you can pull that off in a few days. Treats for both of you (and by treats I mean the full bag of mini KitKats I have at home, not Max's biscuits.)

[staceylevcns]

Stacey was normally regarded by those that knew her as a whirlwind - always up for anything. Most of the time that was correct. She'd go cliff diving though, before she did karaoke. "I've got some surprises about me, Matticus!" she teased with a wink. She put the bowl of candy down on the table behind her and laughed at the mental image of bottle floating like some poltergeist activity. "I'd be right behind you." Stacey looked down at her outfit and nodded, "I sure can. Look!" She quickly popped down into a squat and bent a little, bouncing slightly on her heels. "Super easy to move in, sexy, and it makes me feel like I can take on a bad dude so like i'm happy."

She felt guilty for a split second before he laughed and her hazel gaze fell to the karaoke machine again. "I'll make a compromise with you then. I won't make anymore jokes about the town AND I'll do a song buuut it has to be a duet with you. Does that sound like a deal?"

In mock shock, Matt touched his chest and gasped, "Stacey Evans, the figurative coked-up butterfly you are, has stage fright?!?! Color me surprised as fuck." He teased and then said, "If you're in need of liquid courage, some boozy drinks are floating around. Not literally floating around, or you would've seen my butt run out that door faster than a suburban mom at a Black Friday sale." He laughed. Matt returned to admire her outfit and asked, "Can you bend around in that getup? You look...well, damn good in it, but is it easy to move around in?"

"You better knock on wood or something because we don't need the few who didn't make it to start some structure fire or wreck their call into the town hall," he said, attempting to suppress a laugh but failing. Matticus can most definitely get that tune out. Anything for you, Spacey Stacey." He winked. "But-" he tossed at her, "You owe me a song right back. I'm not talking mumbling words into a mic and calling it a day. I demand a performance. Deal?"

[staceylevcns]

The smile on her face transformed into a brighter grin, and Stacey chuckled at Matt's words, attempting to ignore the way him calling her sexy had her heart skip a beat. "I'm not sure about karaoke, I might have to get absolutely obliterated for that. But, I'll defintely be on the dancefloor at some point. I didn't dress in a bunch of leather for nothing!" she replied, picking up a butter finger, opening it and popping it into her mouth as Matt spoke.

"I was wondering about that, I mean bright side is most of the town is here so you guys might be good for calls. I'm glad it's going smoothly tho. You gonna grace me with a matticus rendition of hot for teacher?"

Matt tipped his head in greeting, though he had to adjust his glasses on his nose as he straightened up. He's not used to wearing glasses, other than the readers he sometimes uses to read at work or before bed. He's stubborn as hell about using them, too. He noticed the nose wiggle but had no clue why Stacey did that. Maybe she's about to sneeze? "Nope. There's still plenty left to gorge on throughout the night," he said around a mouthful of candy.

"You gonna bounce off the walls or burn that energy off the dance floor? Better yet, the karaoke machine! I better see that sexy ass of yours belting out a few songs," he said, balling the wrapper in hand and motioning to where the karaoke machine sat all by its lonesome. "I'm keeping an eye on things, but everything is as smooth as silk. Couldn't have asked for a better crew since the assigned team hasn't given me grief for saying a big NO to drinks, but they have to scatter onto the truck if a call comes through."

[staceylevcns]

Stacey grinned when Matt addressed her. "Hello Professor!" He really did look quite dashing with the mustache. Though it would probably tickle anyone he went to kiss. Her nose wiggled involuntarily at the thought. "I don't think I ate them all, so take a look!" she suggested, moving the bowl for him. When Matt was sucssessful she grinned, beaming at him.

"I am! I've had a bunch of chocolate, I'm chilling out and just enjoying everything. What about you? You haven't had to work too much, I hope!"

Matt came back from combing his mustache, making sure it looks nice and neat. It took him close to a month to grow out this bad boy for this costume. There’s no way he’s slapping a fake one on. As he made his way out he did a quick dance with someone and then spied Stacey off in the distance with what looks like a pumpkin bowl. “Violet.” He said, nodding his head in her direction. “You got any of those peanut butter pumpkins?” He asked, rummaging through it til he beamed. “Score! I love these things. I can eat my body weight in them.” He removed the wrapper and bit into it with a happy noise. “So good.” He said around the bite. “You having a good time?”

[staceylevcns]

I know, its how I get you to usually agree to things.

HECK YES. I will teach my step-dragon to speak. You'll be so proud of me, I promise.

You are, and you also know full well that enabling my coffee habit is the best way to get me to agree to anything.

I mean, he's mastered 'sit' and 'stay' and we're working on 'shake', so I think teaching him to 'speak' on command really wouldn't be that much of a stretch, at this point.

[staceylevcns]

..... Fiiine no take backs. I'm a woman of my word.

I love this so much you have no idea. Do you think I could train him to 'roar'?

SOLD. I would have said yes even without the gift cards, but no takebacks.

If you put him in a costume and then fuss over that costume, he will strut like he's on a catwalk, fair warning. We may have both created a very furry little monster by the time Halloween is officially over.

[staceylevcns]

Yes, yes you are. But he's the cutest diva I ever did see.

I mean, it wouldn't be a bad idea? Though me having kidlets isn't happening anytime soon. I'm sure my sibs would keel over if i had one now. I COULD LKDKGJN NICK.

MY POTENTAL HUSBAND (MAYBE ONE DAY IF WE DONT FIND OTHER PEOPLE).

PLEASE LET ME BORROW THE DIVA THAT IS KNOWN AS MAX SO I CAN HAVE MY DRAGON!!!!

I'll get you giftcards for coffee for 6 months.

God, I'm raising a little canine diva, aren't I? At least he's cute.

Really should brush up on my criminal law before you have kids, is all I'm hearing. I mean, if you're really nice to me you could borrow him for Halloween night -- I have work the next day, so I'm on trick-or-treat duty, even if I don't end up getting many kids this year.

[staceylevcns]

I'm sure there was a way, BUT if he's getting allll the attention then its worth it. Even if you have to stop him from eating the braid every now and again.

My kids are gonna get their criminal mastermind from me, what can I say!? OOOH he does give off Tairn energy so that would have been PERF. ugh. now im upset that I didn't steal him and turn him into a dragon sooner.

See, that's what I said -- his name fits and everything -- but there just aren't any good Maximus costumes for dogs, and I'm not creative enough to figure out how to convincingly dress up a black schnauzer as a white horse. He's just so damn pleased with himself when kids fuss over his costume, even if I keep stopping him from chewing on the braid.

Devious, Evans. I'm just glad you didn't try to steal him from me to cosplay as a dragon for you for the night, 'cause he would have eaten that UP, 🤐

[staceylevcns]

PM: The audiobook is............ Spicy. No candidates yet, but that's ok! I love the costume idea though.

PM: Holy fuck. That's all the things I could ever ask for in a book! I see they've got one of those graphic audiobooks. My ass is gonna give it a listen. Got any Riorson candidates yet?? I would volunteer, but I'm already Professor Plumming it upppppp.

[staceylevcns]

SURE YOU ARE. I mean... Max could have gone as max, but you're right. Max is waaayyyyy better as rapunzel than I ever would be. I cant make that little bean all sad. I'm still trying to get him to love me enough to leave you one day.

I mean what.

I’m kidding, Stacíta, 😂 And no one's denying you would have been cute as a button as Blondie, but then you’d have to look at Max’s sad little face. And I’ll be honest, I can’t handle Max’s sad little face, plus you have to admit he kind of rocks the purple...

[staceylevcns]

open starter

Stacey clutched the pumpkin bowl close to her chest. It was full of chocolate bars for her to snack on thoughout the party. She'd had at least 5 before walking over to the fire hall. She looked to the person next to her and shook the bowl slightly. "Want some candy? I was gonna eat all this myself, but I think that might make my tummy upset and i do not want that."

[staceylevcns]

@nick-duval

Should I be offended at not being deemed hot enough for Xaden? Low blow, Lil S. I may never recover. 😜

I never said you weren't hot enough to be Xaden! I just didn't think you'd want to do a coupley costume!!!! I mean Im not over here butthurt that you didn't ask me to be Rapunzel!!
