Happy Halloween! Fanfiction version on archive under DappleEcho!

It was October 31, Australia. Australians didn’t tend to celebrate Halloween, but Mind was different. In his eyes, Halloween was the perfect time to mock someone. An akaryocyte? A demon? …A chicken? Dress up and be a cruel parody. In fact, that was exactly what Mind was doing right now. Well, he also had the most slight fondness for American culture… He might possibly use an American accent when he sings. Irrelevant.

Donning a pair of white, plastic wings, Mind adjusts the light sweater he’s wearing. He inspects the white nail polish — is that Heart’s entire aesthetic? — and applies blue lipstick. He would’ve used purple, but, as it turns out, Heart’s just been using his the entire time and having Soul edit the videos… Frankly, Mind’s not sure how he didn’t notice sooner.

He powders his face, so that he’s just as pale as the idiot who never goes outside, then examines himself one more time in the mirror. He feels like something is missing… The blindfold. Mind does not fancy being blind, although it would be an ironic punishment, but he’ll have to deal with it for the sake of the costume.

Glancing around his room, the Mind spots a fitting piece of scrap fabric. He’ll make a blindfold out of it. It seems to be quite thin, too. He might be able to see through it, after all.

He halts at the footsteps outside. His costume isn’t ready yet, and he’s not going to let someone find out before it’s been perfected.
