Summary: Jaiden and Halloween do not mix very well.
Disguise
"Jaiden!"
"Hell no."
"Just think of it as a disguise in order to blend!"
"I said no."
"Please?"
Jaiden practically glared death at the offending garment being waved in front of her nose by Road. She wasn't aware though, that this had caused her to go cross-eyed. Despite their best effort, a series of silent snickers escaped the twin's mouths. Fortunately for them, Jaiden was too absorbed in fending off Road to notice.
"Please Jaiden?" Road repeated, "It's the best way to move through the city unnoticed at the moment without encountering any Exorcist," Her attempt to hide her amusement failed, as her statement was interrupted by Jasdebi's snickering. Jaiden's expression turned sour.
"Come on, it's not that bad." Debitto started, smirking. "We're not asking you to be happy or anything. You can keep acting like your usual bitchy self. You'll just look more undead than usual." Jaiden twitched at that comment and her eyes narrowed dangerously.
"It's not going to fuckin' happen."
Jaiden glanced at the other three Noahs warily. The twins were wearing the most ridiculous outfit she'd ever seen. They were basically walking toilet paper. Road at least, was better. Actually, Jaiden thought her outfit looked almost like her usual attire, minus the hat and broomstick.
Though it seemed that Road was quickly transiting from amusement to frustration. She held the broom more tightly now, like a weapon, and Jaiden's eyes widened. Now, Jaiden wasn't one to brag—okay maybe she was, but that's not the point. The point is, Jaiden was never really afraid of anything. But when Road got into one of her moods, she was scarier than death itself. It looked like the outcome of this wasn't going to turn out the way Jaiden wanted it this time. Now she just knew she wasn't imagining it when she saw the amused glint in the Earl's eyes when he assigned them to do this.
Though it seemed very simple to do, so simple, an Akuma could've done it. It was the usual 'find-the-Innocence-and-bring-it-back-to-the-Earl' mission. The Innocence was located in a country that was apparently celebrating a festival of some sorts that would offer them a cover. It was called 'Halloween'. When Jasdebi had heard that costumes and candy were involved they had been ecstatic.
Of course, Jaiden had not been happy. In fact, she'd been more displeased when presented with her 'disguise'. She scowled and snatched the costume from Road's hands, stomping off to change.
Jasdebi and Road exchanged satisfied looks, along with evil grins.
A few minutes later, Jaiden had appeared, with a black cape trailing behind her. The other three curious Noahs circled her, over looking the costume they themselves had picked out for Jaiden. She frowned in irritation as she adjusted the fake fangs that pressed into her lower lip rather uncomfortably. Road stopped, straightened the collar of the cape before stepping back, admiring her work.
"I hate you assholes." Jaiden deadpanned, her eye twitching.
"We love you too," Road stated, giving her a sickly sweet smile in return.
"Hey, at least we don't have to put any make-up on you," Debitto smirked, "Since you're already the pale, sunless, freak that you are. You can pass off as a vampire without the costume."
As soon as those words left his mouth, Jaiden's fist connected to his cheek at the exact same moment.
"Happy Halloween, jackass."
