oh man, the place is absolutely packed tonight. makes sense - fright night is, like, one of the biggest paydays of the year.

( no further justification left her lips; that slight smirk remained ever-present, however. ) ... gonna put one on?

( chin resting upon those upturned palms, expression carrying the hint of scheming nature; ) ... I wanna see you in a dress.

... I meaaaaan - 'do think that rangers still do their job, kinda! yer'kinda the brooding type, huh.

y'got the fuzzy cuffs, that big ol' slayin' hat, the scarf - I mean, wha's the difference 'tween Alaska an' Illinois, really? maybe the oil industry, and the natives.

I'unno - 'kinda gettin' the feelin' y'could be a suit 'gal. don't get me wrong - that-... alaskan ranger fit is super c'yute - but in terms of a costume-...

... I ain't gonna ask as to what would drive y'ta do that - 'just a suggestion, nothin' more. maybeeee-... oh, I am /sure/ you would look g'uh-reat in a suit.

yeah, yeah! we could, like, dress y'up as a-... mummy, maybe!

n'awh - why not? ain't it fun?

aw' heck - might need a new outfit.

( lips pursed as if she were truly pondering something, Celeste took a meager little moment before chirping up - ) ya'nno - there's kinda this urban legend thingie. although, legend doesn't really fit - 's kinda a story about a haunted library an'all.

oh, please - knights are so out'ta fashion nowadays. 'been a whole two centuries, at least! but y'know what I'd really like? for'ye to tell me a story!

... knights, huh? ( attention having snapped back to her bespectacled acquaintance, Celeste could not help herself but to furrow that brow. ) anythin' else? 'cause I gotta be honest - knights ain't all that fun, if'yer above the age'a twelve.

( instinctively, paws brushed a non-existant skirt straight as she squatted on down in an effort to get a closer look at that strange object. muttering appreciation - "... cool ..." beneath her breath; ) 'mean-... what would be fun to, y'know, make up?

never said I'd be usin' it - jus' wanna see, is all!

was I askin' about that, glasses? dresser - now.

summon'a dresser, miss smartypants - now.

wha'sat supposed ta' mean!? y'think ah' can just snap my fingers and summon a ta-... can yew' do tha' - summon a chair from some /supposed/ folklore story and jus' sit on it?

oh, look at'chu - miss "ah've the cash for a nee dresser jus' layin' about"!
