not that threatening to decapitate each other and arranging moonlight duels isn't oscar-worthy, but for those of us that prefer alternatives to murder...

i'd like to point out that the future still apparently celebrates halloween. sure, there are bar crawls and costume parties everywhere you look... but do we really need the publicity of booze + empathy bonds + blue light specials?

maybe we should consider throwing our own party. any takers?

[ oh... he hates taking breaks... but halloween... ]

Could go for a pre-party haunted house, too.

[ leopold james fitz's passions include: pranking, horror films, and going 2 fast 2 furious. ]

[ Incoming one vintage gal who has no hobbies outside of work but knows enough about American Halloween to know this much: ]

Aren't those for children?

[retravel]

Not the good ones.
Don’t tell me you’ve never enjoyed a proper horror film at the pictures, Carter.

[ LET’S 👏🏻 GET 👏🏻 SCARED ]

[revlon]

The censors weren't overly fond of showing Hollywood's more horrific fare to the British public so not really, no.

[ Which isn't to say she hasn't seen at least one such film (courtesy of her older brother). But she's never been one for the cinema to begin with. ]

[retravel]

And here I thought you'd gone Hollywood.

[ laugh track. he sends a list of halloween showings at the local cinema to her implant. ]

Pick one.

[revlon]

Just because I was working in Hollywood doesn't mean I'd gone Hollywood.

[ The list pops up on her interface and Fitz, pls. ]

That's a bold request. I might have rubbish taste, you know. I can't even recall the last motion picture I saw.

[ The Wizard of Oz, maybe? Back in '39? ]

[retravel]

It’ll be a laugh either way.
If you pick a good one, you get to pick the music in the office for the next two weeks.

Pick a bad one, and it’s my choice for the same period.

[ the office being wherever they talk morningstar on a given day. normally, they
just take turns running the neural jukebox. ]

[revlon]

For the record, I don't think laughing is the right criteria for this sort of thing. But you're on; my taste in pictures can't possibly be worse than your taste in music.

[ Synthwave. Ridiculous. Can't even dance to it. He's gone and done it now, though: Peggy Carter is a competitive woman and he's upped the stakes considerably. Now she's bloody looking up plot synopses and critical reviews. ]

What's the deadline on this choice, then?

[retravel]

That's the spooky spirit.

[ Get it... bc ghosts... He's fully expecting to lose this bet and be charmed along the way. ]

48 hours. Clock starts now.

[revlon]

It started five minutes ago.

For the record, I had no idea your interests were so diverse.

@katelin.philips

[covertness]

i'm in

[retravel]

Our first field mission together.

[ this is a very funny joke ]

[covertness]

you think i'm ready for it?

[ an even funnier joke: bobbi morse, not ready ]

[retravel]

Now or never, Kat.

[ laugh track ]

Got your costume yet?

[covertness]

haven't really thought about one, to be honest

[retravel]

Best get cracking. We're going for it.

[ "we" here meaning "me, it's me, i'm going for it" ]

[covertness]

i'll think of something

[evite]

only if you promise to hold my hand the whole way through

[ is she a fan of haunted houses? not... particularly. a close-held secret!!! ]

[retravel]

Don't you have the Soviet sub-genus of the Great Russian Sasquatch for that sort of thing.

[ is it bullying if it's loving... ]

Are you gonna scream like you did during Paranormal Activity?

[evite]

do you think that professional stick in the mud is going to suffer through a haunted house with me?

[ he's barely agreed to go to a party that's tentatively being held in their home ]

are you going to cry like you did when i punched you for jumping out of a supply closet?

[retravel]

I think when the liquid is red, the technical term is blood.

[ TEASIN’ no fitz’s were harmed in the making of this banter ]

He might be more into the haunted house than the party, y’know.

[ as someone of a somewhat similar mindset.]

[evite]

[ she was really trying to avoid having to go through the haunted house thing at all. if fitz had too many volunteers, she could just... politely let someone go with him. why does fitz want her to suffer. ]

i'll ask him
but if he says no, you're on hand holding duty

[retravel]

You know you don't have to go.
But if you do, you get your pick of hands to hold.

[ left or right, daisy... so generous. ]

[evite]

i love you too, fitz

[ even if you are a maniac re: halloween spookiness ]

[retravel]

[ ❤️ ]

Oh, sorry, I meant of Illya's hands.
He does still have the two, doesn't he?
