Welcome to Gaia! ::

Magda walked into the class and immediately took a seat. She folded her hands in front of her, and she looked the model image of a student. However, the class was not a lecture, and she was not supposed to sit down, which meant that the length of time she stayed there in the seat was rather out of the ordinary, especially since she seemed to smile so proudly about it.

Finally, after what seemed like a moderately insane amount of time, Magda hopped up from her seat with a gasp of breath, and went to look at the boxes that were in the front of the classroom waiting for her. They were filled with costumes of all shapes and sizes, and she fiddled through each of them carefully, picking out what she found interesting.

The skeleton bodysuit was a must. Who wouldn't want to be an undead? But when she picked out the pirate hats, she noticed that each one had a different color feather.

This was problematic...

Because she wanted all three of them now.

She debated whether she could get away with layering them one on top of the other, by slowly pressing down until they were balancing on each others brims. She put it all on her head, and began to sway to keep it in the air, but as fun as the game of pirate totems was, they fell in a few seconds time.

It was back to the drawing board! But oh, those hats..

Magda strode up to the tiny professor, and straightened out to her full height, stretching out the bodysuit terribly and showing off her outfit with pride.

"Professor," She cleared her throat and bowed in respect. "I am here to show you what I have created. This halloween, with your assistance and this class's materials, I have created a costume wherein I am a ghost pirate. I died by strange occurance - we were attacked by a ship that was shooting pumpkins instead of cannons. A pumpkin landed right on my head, killing me dead. See? Here resides it's corpse as well!"

She pointed at the pumpkin under her hat, with the sword, and then waited for her praise. Instead, she watched as the professor began to sniffle, then cry, then sob altogether.

"No, Professor, please don't cry.. no pumpkins were harmed in the making of this costume. Honest!"

But it was no use, and Magda left dejected, and a failure. She'd thought the idea had such merit.. but all it had managed to do was scare a professor, and leave her without a passing grade for the class she'd been so excited about.

Magda quietly began to take off the pieces of her new costume, and put them back in the boxes carefully where they belonged. She would try again, perhaps, but the sight of Selene's big teardrops were jarring, and she needed time to get over it. And time to think of a better idea than the amazing pumpkin-killed pirate..
