Costumes. Seriously.
My Okasan is trying to kill me. I just learned that that party I got invited to and have to now take Liza to (although I’m hoping that someone will dub her too sick to go and I’ll be able to skip the wretched affair myself) is a costume party. Yes, a costume party. To be specific, a ‘time warp.’ I made the mistake of mentioning this to Kaa-san, who immediately got a wicked twinkle in her eye.
“Time warp, you say…?” She giggled, as Oto-sama winced visibly in the background.
“Ellie…” He said warningly, half glaring.
“Don’t give me that look, Seto! You know it would be perfect!” Her voice had reached that high pitched trill she sometimes did when she was really excited. Then, I proceeded to be dragged out of the room by Kaa-san, while Oto-sama gave me a pitying look. Damn you, Oto-sama. Anyways, I proceeded to be measured and prodded for another half-hour, sent away, and called back, presented with a long, flowy, blue and white linen…thing. And hat. Large, pointy hat.
“Egyptian High Priest.” Kaa-san said smugly.
