Welcome to Gaia! ::

Minis dress-up competition, huh. Halloween themed? Normally, Pelagion didn't dress up his minis – they were cute enough as it was – but somehow, it seemed fitting.

He picked up Poly and headed out to the show, petting the little sunny creature's head. Poly, of all his minis, seemed the one most likely to want to dress up and have a mask. Pelagion had a small amount of minis decorations, and he intended to see what he could do with Poly at the booths. Finding one, he set to dolling the little Bloom up...

Poly's ears perked up at the sound of something not his own name – whether he knew his own name had yet to be determined – and, upon seeing the Moon Bloom – wiggled out of Pelagion's arms and bounced over to it, meeping playfully.

“Hey Kamakura.” Pelagion said, close behind him, a ribbon, a pumpkin mask, and a few booties in his other hand, “So you'e doing this too?” He wasn't surprised, “Cute bloom.” he commented, “What's their name?” he offered a finger of his free hand for the moon bloom to sniff.

Polu pawed at the moon bloom – clothes and dress up were fine, but he wanted to play!

“This is Poly – he's a Sun bloom.” Pelagion explained, “He's a sweetie. Probably the happiest of mine to go out...”

Awwww.

Pelagion would have happily pet the bloom a little. Or a lot... but they appeared to have other priorities and as long as Poly didn't run off into the wilderness, it would be okay.

Poly sniffed Kamakura's hand and gave it a vigorous rub with his cheeks, but he had the same priorities as the moon bloom, and it was clear – it was time to play. He squeaked at Maris, bounding after them enthusiastically and bopping the other's poofy silver tail. He squeaked again, bounding away and shaking his own tail meaningfully. He wanted to pounce, and play, and chase, and wrestle! He wanted to play! Silly mask things could wait.

Pelagion grinned appreciatively at the moon bloom's costume. “He's pretty, that's for sure.” he said, “Interesting choice, though – he's a witchy bloom, huh.” he held up the mask and ribbons and other accoutrements. “I was going to go for a more, uh, 'spice' look. You know, like the spice treats?” Except, of course, a bloom. However... he contemplated Poly's big tail, a sudden thought occurring to him. “You know, if I put the mask on his tail... He'd look kind of like a pumpkin?” It was a silly idea, but Pelagion didn't see anything completely wrong with it.

“Have you ever seen one of those spice treats? They're cute, aren't they?” he smiled as the blooms bounced and played, “Nice smells and cute colors and...” actually, something smelled really nice, right now. “Oh, hey, did you bring treats with you?” good plan – Pelagion had a few himself, but this smelled much better... sweeter.

Yeah, that was the problem with fake horns and wings. “Yeah, especially on wiggly minis...” he said, noticing how actively their blooms were playing... cute little fluffs. He chuckled at their antics as Poly bopped Maris back and then ran around to bop her again, yipping and squeaking in delight.

Pelagion inspected the offered boots. Oh! Yes! The green booties would be perfect for the costume... if he could get Poly to wear them. “Thanks.” he said, accepting the boots. He felt the need to trade – that was only fair – so he brought out a chew toy – unused – in the shape of a broom. “Here, this might be good. It's flavored. Not Sinnamon, though, I don't think.” Pelagion was a little disappointed that they werent Fear treats, but hey – he wasn't going to say no to a Sinnamon bun. “Thanks.” he said, nodding appreciatively. Maybe he could learn to bake too?

“Yeah” he thought he might do the jack o' lantern costume. Yes indeed. “Poly, c'mere.” he called to the bloom, though since Poly obviously didn't care about their name, he had to go over and pick him up. They squeaked in protest but Pelagion scritched their soft fur until they purred. “Lets go do that.” he held a hand out to Kamakura, “May the best-dressed minipet win.” he said with a straight face. And let it be one of ours he thought, not a little competitively.

And with that, he returned the happily wiggling Sun bloom to his booth and went about dressing him quickly... The mask went over the tail, the boots went on the feet, and the other mask - a more theify face mask - went on Poly's face. For a final touch, Poly got a little leaf accessory, sticking out of the top of his tail. He looked very pumpkin themed by the time Pelagion was done, and he got a treat for his patience - to keep him still as the judges began their rounds.

Poly was remarkably patient as he was prodded and inspected and nodded over. The treats before and after probably helped, or at least pelagion figured that they did. Finally, the judges scribbled down a score on a slip of paper, folded it, and handed it to him.

He petted Poly as they moved on. "Well, that went well." he whispered to the sun bloom, who chirped... Was he done with this? He wanted to play with his friend now...
