[As usual, this year's party is held at the ball room. Dance music is already playing, mixed in together with creepy sounds and howls. The decorations are creepy at its best, and there are skeletal waiters walking around this time.

The tables are laden with food for various monsters, ghost, blood for the vampires, candy for the children, and normal food for those who are somewhat normal. Though if you're not in costume, that ugly fish sculpture at the giant punch bowl will spew a liquid at you rudely from it's mouth that will immediately put you into a random costume. If you keep hitting it, it will keep doing it, changing your costume into something worse every time.

Gatecrashers with bad intentions will be grabbed, wrapped and tossed out of the room by that giant spider up there on the ceiling, and it will also grab you if you're being selfish to the kiddies about giving them candy.

For those who lack dancing partners, some of those manakins are not there for show. Those will come to life and ~~harass~~ dance with you if you look a little lonely.

Enjoy!]

Sora?!

That's me.

*he grins, easing down from where he was hovering a couple of inches over the floor*

You're looking well, if Riku-ish.

*he looks you over a bit to take in your costume before dropping the edge of the blindfold*

I think it's the DR's idea of a joke, though I'm glad I'm not in a dress.

*laughs a bit and snuggles Zero, who wants attention*

I remember. That was definitely not something I missed when I left.

What do you mean, when you left? You're still here.

Well, yes, I'm here for Halloween for some reason. I haven't been here for... since I was twenty years old, so I guess forty-seven years. I'm an angel.

................ noooo. I'm pretty sure I just saw you an hour ago, when you yelled at me for coloring 'bug's hair silver.

No, Ri. That's me.

*he floats a little -- he's unused to standing ;;*

No, see, because my Sora isn't dead. He's really alive. And not super old.

*logic and Ri will never be good friends*

Ask me something that only your Sora would know. Think carefully.

... what did you cook for dinner last night?

*you caught him off guard sob*

*he smiles gently and shakes his head*

That's not really something just I would know. How about this: Sora Hikari. I grew up at 121 Hope Way on Destiny Islands. I'm an only child. For years, I slept with two stuffed friends, a paopu called "Pillowpu" and a puppy named "Secret". He was named Secret because you gave him to me for Mother's Day, since I was caring for my baby paopu tree. I confessed that I wanted you, and you told me... that I already had you. And that was our secret.

*that makes him beam because you remember which means you're his Sora but... you're not supposed to be dead*

Is this... like when I'm a dead angel?

*of course he does -- his memories with you are some of his most important*

Exactly. I died of, ironically, heart failure.

But... but this is just a costume, right? My Sora is okay. Even if you're my Sora. But I want my Sora from right now.

*shrugs a bit*

I'm just me. I'm not even from your dressing room timeline. I left the dressing room when I was twenty years old, and you followed shortly after. I've seen your future here Ri, and the one I lived was very, very different. That's why I was so surprised to see you here.

................ what?

Which part?

... all of it? Does this mean you aren't really my Sora? And you're not that older-Sora from the future?
