SIXTEEN
Paragraph Plays: Halloween
ONE
The Titans Tower.
Halloween night.
Enter:
ROBIN dressed as Slade.
STARFIRE in a long black dress and witch's hat.
CYBORG in a huge bear suit.
CYBORG: Man! I don't know why I let BB talk me into wearing this thing.
Robin and Starfire stifle giggles.
Enter RAVEN in her usual dark cloak. Nothing is different about her.
STARFIRE: Raven? You have not the costume for the Halloween?
RAVEN: I don't celebrate.
ROBIN: Aw come on Raven. Halloween's the one night you get to scare each other and not feel guilty about it.
CYBORG: Man, wait till you see BB's costume. If that's not scary, then I don't know what is!
ROBIN: So where's Beast Boy?
Enter BEAST BOY, in a cloak identical to Raven's. His skin is a pale white (the work of body paint), and there is even a red diamond-shaped gem stuck to his forehead.
STARFIRE: Beast Boy! You are… Raven!
Raven, on seeing Beast Boy, grows a deep red, transforms into a hideous black creature and chases Beast Boy all over the Tower.
Pause.
CYBORG: Now that's scary. (Beat.) She don't need a costume.
TWO
The Titans Tower.
Halloween night.
ROBIN (dressed as Slade), STARFIRE (dressed as a witch), CYBORG (dressed as Frankenstein) and BEAST BOY (dressed as a vampire) enter, admiring each others' costumes.
STARFIRE: Robin, your costume for the Halloween is so… real.
ROBIN: I looked in the mirror and scared myself.
CYBORG: Yo BB, I think you got your fang on the wrong way.
BEAST BOY: I think you're scarier without your costume, Cy. (Pause.) Hey, where's Raven?
Enter RAVEN in a frilly pink dress, shiny wings attached to her back, and a little golden tiara on her head. Her hair, dyed blond, had been curled. She wears makeup and carries a fluffy star-shaped wand.
Silence.
BEAST BOY: Uh… Raven? Halloween's not about scaring people to death.
