Username: AutumnDove
Name: Sachiko
Gender: Female.
Best friend/one who came with her:
Tau, who is owned by
Howlingtothestars. (Thank you so much.)
Reason behind the costume:
The whole idea for her costume stemmed from a love of one simple thing; Pokemon. And to be more specific, her very first Pokemon, Bulbasaur!
However, due to 'laws' and 'copyrights' and 'theft' and a fear of going to jail, Sachi decided to create her own costume. With a little inspiration from Bulbasaur, Sachi came up with a costume of her own. It held the basic structure of a Bulbasaur, but this one matched her own, natural colors. Not to mention this costume would not get her thrown into jail! (Still, just between her and Tau, though, Sachi is a special 'Shiny Bulbasaur'!) Sachi handmade her costume, making it so that the bulb could also double as a satchel or backpack for when Halloween was over (Tau coming up with the idea of calling Sachi a Pack-y-mon). With the utmost care, Sachi stitched together her beloved Bulbapack, (Only called this by herself. The 'public' name for it is simply 'Pod'). As far as Sachi is concerned, the only one who matters in knowing what she truly is for Halloween is herself and her best friend, Tau. To all the adults who open doors and dish out candy with the coin phrase of 'Aww, how cute, what are you supposed to be, sweetie?' she simply says 'A flower.' What more does one need to receive candy, after all? (230 w/c)
Friend story:
"If you want to be a Bulbasaur, be a Bulbasaur!" exclaimed Tau.
"B-But... I don't want to go to jail..." Sachi murmured.
"Sachi! They wouldn't throw you in jail!" argued Tau.
"You don't know that... They'd throw me in jail and you'd never see me again..." Sachi nervously clutched her tail, squeezing it lightly as she curled up near Tau.
"Well, if you are so afraid, why don't you make your own? You're good at that kinda thing, right? No one else has to know what you are! Just make it a different color. You could be..." Tau paused, thinking. "A shiny Bulbasaur!"
Sachi tilt her head, thinking about this. It was actually a pretty good idea. Leave it to her best friend to throw that one out there. "Tau, you're a genius!" Sachi exclaimed, only to watch her friend puff out her chest and strike a silly pose.
"Of course I am!" Tau giggled.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Whoa... You are amazing!" Tau exclaim as she circled around Sachi. "I can't believe you made this all by yourself!" She spoke again. Blushing a deep scarlet, Sachi press her paws to her cheeks and wiggle from side to side in a mixture of glee and embarrassment. "It was n-nothing! R-really! I'm glad you think so, though!" Sachi was pleased her friend liked her costume, even if it was mostly just a backpack. "I like your costume, too!" Sachi exclaimed, poking at the silly shark costume that Tau was wearing. "I know right!? It's awesome!" Tau shook her body, somehow making the costume look like an actual swimming shark. "W-wow! That's neat!" exclaimed Sachi. "How many times did you practice that, though?" She question, arching a brow. Tau chuckle then offer a light 'Shh' to dismiss the subject. "Let's go, we've already wasted enough time to have gotten... Six pieces of candy! Two of which were chocolate!" Tau said, grinning at Sachi, who jerked and hurried after the silly bobble-headed shark that was Tau. "O-oh! Right, sorry! W-wait for me!" She said, hurrying to Tau's side. "Oh! I forgot m-my buck..." Before Sachi could finish, Tau was offering an orange pumpkin head bucket to Sachi. "I got it! I knew you'd forget it. Hah!" Sachi blushed deeply, dropping her head shyly and smiling. "T-thanks!"
Giggling, Tau winked at Sachi. "Where would you be without me?" She asked.
"P-Probably back at home, looking for my bucket." Sachi replied with a quiet laugh.
And so, the two continued onward, heading towards the first house of the night with high hopes of a profitable haul on a very fine, very chilly, Halloween night.
