Characters: Mei Shu and Keagan McLaggen When/Where: Outside Ravenclaw Tower, 9 o'clock pm Rating: PG-13 Summary: Keagan's meeting her before they head down to the party.
Mei had originally been pondering the idea of attending the Halloween dance as a Geisha, after all some of the Kimono's she had seen were absolutely gorgeous. Who didn't want to be wrapped up in silk. However, having thought it over, the many layers of clothing required for that outfit, while looking fabulous, would have been far too cumbersome. The idea of going as a Ninja had sprung up when she'd opened her wardrobe and had found the pair of boots she'd bought the last time she was in London. If she couldn't wear them to class, she needed another excuse to wear them. The dance had been perfect. Thank Merlin for fabulous boots.
Before heading down to meet Keagan, she gave herself one last glance over. Despite the short notice, the costume had come together nicely, though originally, she'd had a bit of an issue with the typical face mask. Like hell she was walking around the entire night breathing into material. Instead she'd simply taken a strip of red material that matched the sash around her torso and tied it across her forehead, leaving her bangs and a section of hair to frame her face, before tucking the ends through her pony tail to hang down among the remainder of her pin-straight hair.
"Perfect," she smirked, before grabbing her sword off the bed. For the moment she put it across her back. If worse came to worse, she'd move it to her hip, later. She hadn't quite decided which would better for free movement. Once it was safely in place, she left the dorms, eager to locate her date and get down to the dance.
