Who: Tach and Eliot
What: Halloween decorations!
Warnings: It's awesomer!

Tach's mansion was an admission booth away from being a haunted house. Normally it was in good condition, but the amount of fake cobwebs and 'weathering' made it look much creepier. Pumpkins carved into elaborate scary shapes lined the walk to the door.

Inside, there were eerie candelabras and fake blood on the wall. There was a coffin in the living room with it's lid ajar. In the kitchen, the dishes were away in the cupboard, but a few of the glasses had eyeballs in them. The sink looked rusty and when the handle was turned, red 'blood' came out of the faucet.

It was a good start!

	Eliot had the popcorn, as promised, when he showed up at her address. he took in the sights, finding it more awesome than he'd imagined, but then he'd thought she was barely started on the decorations. "Looks like you don't need my help at all!" he said when he approached her. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Tach gave him a bright smile when she saw him, waving energetically. Luckily her balance was incredible, so she stayed perfectly perched on top of the ladder through the greeting. "What? Oh, I'm not finished!" She giggled. She finished placing the gargoyle on the roof and started climbing down.

"Come inside!" She reached for his hand to pull him inside, excited. "This is gonna be fun!" she squealed.

	"I'm sure," Eliot said with a slight grin. He let her pull him inside, and he found the home to be warm and cozy. He felt a little bit awkward, despite how welcoming Tach was. He wasn't used to that kind of excitable hospitality. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The house did have sort of a cozy feel, despite being a big mansion. It was one of the many strange things that just seemed to happen around Tach. She was still trying to offset it with the blood and gory decorations.

"I wish I had big suits of armor like Alf! Those are cool. Hey, can you help me with this?" She picked up one edge of a rolled-up rug-like thing and edged it toward the hallway. "Or bats!"

	"Bats would be better, suit the mood, anyway." Eliot went for the other end of the roll. He had no idea what it was, but he'd find out soon enough. "Especially if you could get animatronics and have them flying all over the house." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Animatronics? Bats don't need animatronics to fly." Tach laughed and unrolled the mat. It had a layer of fake grass, then a mound of dirt-like substance that looked like a grave in the middle. It filled the hallway perfectly, so people had to walk on it. She reached down and shifted the dirt around to find the plastic zombie fingers that stuck out of the grave. She giggled.

"Hey, what movie do you wanna watch?"

	"True, but if you let real bats fly around in your house, you have to deal with the bat shit, too. And feeding them." Eliot shrugged. That seemed like a lot of effort. He appreciated the run with a grin. "Nice." He nodded. "I don't know. What've you got? I'll watch anything. The bloodier, the better." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hm. Maybe they could learn." She'd house trained the lemurs. She shrugged. Real bats would be cool, but she didn't know what she'd do with them after Halloween. And Arth might try to eat them.

"Careful," she said, pointing down the hallway and the grave-rug. "It'll get'cha!" She formed her fingers into claws and grabbed at Eliot's shoulder.

"How about...zombies!" She pulled a few different DVDs off the shelf. She had a whole shelf of horror movies, some cheesy 70's films, some more recent and gory.

	Eliot made his way carefully over the grave in the hall way. "Zombies it is," he said with a laugh. "You pick something, surprise me." He had a soft spot for Tach he didn't often experience. She was fun to be around, unlike anyone Eliot had ever known before. She made him forget to be the tough guy, for a little while, and just relax. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tach picked out an especially bloody zombie movie and bounced over to the television to put the DVD in. Once she had it going, she darted over to the couch and took a seat. "Hm. I wonder what I could do to the couch.." The place just didn't seem festive enough. "Hey, what if there was a zombie crawling out of the fireplace?" she said, twisting around to get a view of said fireplace. "That'd be scary, huh? Hey, can you turn out the light? It's right by you."

	"I think it'd be pretty awesome, but scary to other people, yeah. Really scary, even." Eliot flipped the slight switch, then settled in front of the television to watch the movie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tach giggled. "Cool! I'll do that then." As the movie's opening credits rolled, Tach glanced at the fireplace, picturing a mechanism for making the zombie move to look like it was crawling, maybe.

"Hey.." Tach said, tilting her head curiously, like she noticed something. She scooted closer to him, her fingers moving to the back of his neck to sift through his hair like she was looking for something.

	"What are you doing?" Eliot looked back at her, and his hand came up to swat her hand away from his hair. It wasn't a violent gesture, but there was a definite stiffness in the motion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-26 03:43 am UTC (link)
	"I know you!" Tach declared, fingers dodging the swat only to come back and smooth down the hair back down over his neck. "Chip!" She grinned, looking almost triumphant as she settled back into a sitting position. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-26 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Eliot frowned at the nickname, but the corners of his mouth turned up. "No. No chip, remember? I said no." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-26 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"No chip." She giggled. "I named my horse after you!" She smiled, then squealed a little when her peripheral vision caught a big blood splatter on the television. She settled down, letting her hands return to her lap. "Yay, Ellie," she said, mostly to herself, pleased he was back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-26 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"You're the only one who ever got away with that." He gave her a pointed look. He smoothed down his hair again, feeling it needed to be done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-26 04:16 am UTC (link)
	"With what, playing with your hair?" she teased, reaching out to ruffle it again. "'Grr, I'm Ellie, I'm a werewolf!'" She giggled, shaking her head so that her long hair fell in her face. "Arooo!" she howled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-26 04:33 am UTC (link)
	"Stop that." He thwapped her hand lightly. There was no malice in it, though he gave her something of a condescending look. "I'm trying to watch the movie." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-26 04:41 am UTC (link)
	She giggled, quieting down somewhat. "This is the boring part," she told him. "Nobody gets killed for a little while." She kept stealing glances at his hair. "Can I braid it?" she whispered after a few minutes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-26 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	"You..." Eliot let the word trail off for a moment. "You want to braid my hair?" He gave her a dubious look. He wasn't even sure how to respond to that request. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-26 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Mmhmm! Just for fun! You don't have to keep it braided." She 'danced' her fingers up over his shoulders and toward his hair. "It feels nice! I won't pull, I promise." She grinned, picturing a werewolf with braids. "It'll be fun!" she said in a sing-song voice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just this once, then," Eliot said softly. He had a hard time, even now, refusing Tach anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She grinned, holding back an excited squeal--Ellie was trying to watch the movie, after all. She got up on her knees and scooted closer to him, deciding to work on the side of his hair, instead of trying to shove herself behind him. He probably didn't want to get on the floor. That was okay.

She combed her fingers through his hair, smoothing it out and separating it into sections. She hummed happily--and very softly!--under her breath as she played with his hair.

Eliot had his reasons for keeping his hair long and shaggy about his face, and while he had been with women who played with the long dark locks for a time, he didn't make a habit of allowing it. The soft caresses of Tach's hands as she worked with the braids was nearly foreign to him. It felt nice, but awkward, and he really didn't know how to process it.

He did his best to ignore it. He kept his focus stubbornly fixed on the movie playing on the TV. Zombies were far safer, than admitting he kind of liked what Tach was doing.

	She didn't have any ties or ribbons, so when she reached the end she just let the braid fall apart, running her fingers through his hair to restore it to it's former shape. "I like your hair," she said, sitting back down since he said she could only braid it once. "Oh, this part's scary!" she whispered, drawing her hands up to her face in preparation.

	Eliot gave a soft sigh. As the movie moved forward, he found his hand seeking hers, giving it a firm squeeze. He wasn't scared at all, and he really didn't think she was either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-26 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	She squealed at the scary part, covering her eyes with one hand when zombie dogs attacked. She was still watching through her fingers, though. She giggled, not really scared. "Eww!" she said at the blood-splosion and turned her head to hide her face on Ellie's shoulder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-26 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	"That's pretty gorey," Eliot agreed. It looked all together too fake, but he wouldn't say as much. "Makes me hungry." He reached for a handful of popcorn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-27 03:26 am UTC (link)
	She giggled at his joke. "Braaaiins!" she groaned, lifting her head from his shoulder to lunge for his head. "Nom nom!" She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and gnawed at his hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-27 03:48 am UTC (link)
	He swatted at her hands. "Not the hair, not the hair!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-27 04:13 am UTC (link)
	She giggled, withstanding the swats for more hair nommage. "But it's yummy!" she protested, still clinging to his shoulders. "Brains?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-27 04:20 am UTC (link)
	"I don't need that," Eliot shrugged. "But I look awful without my hair." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-27 04:28 am UTC (link)
	Tach grinned, leaning in and licking his cheek before letting him go. She pat him on the head. "You should keep your brain, too. It's pretty cool." She settled back down in her spot on the couch, facing the television again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-27 04:52 am UTC (link)
	He sighed softly and settled back on the cushions to watch the rest of the movie, hopefully without incident. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-27 04:52 pm UTC (link)
	She shifted in her seat, moving to sit cross-legged. She bit her lower lip, trying to stay quiet so that Ellie could watch the movie. She squirmed a little, keeping her eyes fixed on the screen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-27 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	He sat for a long moment without moving. He was watching the movie, though he knew well what was going to happen at every turn. After a moment, his hand moved, and his fingers found the ends of her hair. He said nothing, didn't move a muscle more than his hand playing lightly at her hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-27 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	She blinked, glancing over at his hand. She tilted her head toward him, just slightly, leaning into his fingers. She wondered if Sophie had taught him how to braid hair too, but she didn't ask. She just sat quietly, watching the movie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatswhatido 2009-09-27 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	There was no attempt to braid her hair. He was content just to play with it, as he was. He wasn't really even aware of it, his focus more on the movie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	williseeheaven 2009-09-27 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	She liked the way his playing with her hair felt. It sort of tickled, but in a nice way. It was all relaxing and soothing. She scooted closer, nestling in to him and resting her cheek on his shoulder. (Reply to this) (Parent)
