Unicorn!

Thanks but for that there has to be two. Maybe I should go for something which matches a werewolf.

Oh... a unicorn werewolf. That'd be fun! Or you could both dress as matching fairies.

I just can't decide between unicorn and fairy prince, myself~

I would like to go for something scary though. It's Halloween after all.

A fairy prince does sound more doable if you're on your own.

Something scary? [ Gilderoy ponders for a bit. ]

Perhaps a vampire! A fashionable one.

Werewolves and vampires are deadly enemies. I wouldn't work that well in my eyes.

You could always dress like me~! I'm a... a- [ Oh dear. ]

A... promise you won't tell anyone?

What'd you mean? Are you some kind of supernatural thingy? [Oh dear, not another thing he has to watch out for. Danny scrunches his face slightly.]

[ Gilderoy whispers quietly.... or as quiet as he'll ever be. ] I'm a wizard and a very very fearsome one!

I still go to school for- for it. But I'll be marvelous once I graduate next year.

A wizard? Like a real one? Hmm I guess I shouldn't be surprised with all the werewolves I know.

Why yes~! Isn't it exciting? I'm better than- than a werewolf.

Werewolves probably have messy hair.

Maybe. Maybe not. It's not easy to measure physical strength against knowledge. The werewolves I know has pretty un-messy hair though.

Are they natural blondes as well? [ Gilderoy very much doubts it! Oh my, competition? ]

I'm still learning about my knowledge. [ That's a way to put it. ]

As far as I know? No. But I'm alright with the hair colour my mate has.

Of course. I'm not sure werewolves need to learn though. It's more on instinct. The controlling part is what they need to practise.

You're dating a werewolf? [ Gilderoy lets out a gasp. That'd be highly shocking in the wizarding society! ]

Yes I do. It took some time to wrap my head around it. But I'm happy with him.

Oh...! You're a fellow who fancies other fellows?

I'm a ladies' man, myself. [ ...don't laugh! ]

Yes I am. [Danny nods.] I'm sure you attract a lot of female attention.

What are some of the costumes you've done in the past?

Oh yes! I mean, I could fancy another man if he looked just like myself. [ Gilderoy would inmediately marry a copy of himself. ]

But how exciting! Will you have children together? Will they be werewolves?

That sounds a bit like narcissism to me and that's not a good thing. You should like yourself but not that much.

We're both male so any babies are out of the question. It doesn't work that way.

I've gone as a zombie one year and a mummy another. This year I'm out of idea. I don't want to dress as a vampire and it has to be a solo costume. I want to match my boyfriend whom I think is going as a werewolf. But I'm out of ideas. Maybe a wizard... but I really don't want to deal with some long robe.

Matching a werewolf costume... Hmm, this is tough. I was going to suggest a gladiator. You're definitely built to pull that off. What if you went as a hunter though. That could be clever. Have pistols on your hips that have silver bullets, jeans, boots.

Thanks dude. I try yo keep fit. Hunter does sound like a good idea. Would have pass that by him though. He's not too fond of guns. A gladiator's a good suggestion too though. Not matching that well but there are wolf-men creatures in Greek mythology. Or I could persuade him to go as a Greek.

I vote to persuade him to go as a Greek. That would be so fun and cute!

I shall try to. Thanks for the help dude. I didn't catch your name?

I'm Blaine. You'll have to let me know how it works out. I'm eager to hear what you two decide!

Sexy hamburger.

I'm Danny. Nice to meet you. I'll let you know. Or you might run into us.

Uhm... It doesn't sound like something I'd like to wear.

Why not? It's the one time of year when you're allowed to be sexy.

Hamburgers are not sexy. Doctors or firemen are.

Yeah but then you're objectifying some poor people just trying to do their job.
Hamburgers are a victimless crime.

I mean, don't necessarily limit yourself to hamburgers. There's sexy corn and sexy taco--which is kind of hilarious if you're a lesbian let me tell you.

Last time I checked Halloween wasn't a time for political statements. Besides, dressing up as a fireman can be a compliment and praise for those hard working heroes. It's when out aim to make it slutty when the implications become bad.

For gays a sexy hot-dog could have similar implications.

|Oh, it's always time for political statements... intent's got nothng to do with it. Road to hell and all that. So unless you're planning to run around in a hundred pounds of gear to get it right.

No denying that. You should totally do the hotdog costume, sexy or not.

And dressing up as a werewolf objectifies real werewolves? Same with ghosts and vampires? Take that out and Halloween will become a lot less scary.

I'm not too comfortable dressing up as food.

Hello Danny! It is so very nice to meet you too. I really hope we do run in to each other. I can't wait to see what you two decide to go with costume wise.
