Master Of None

Walker really couldn't figure out what Lisa could have made for costumes. There was too much possibility for their to just be something simple like a cloak and hat. Especially since Lisa had been gathering materials slowly but surely since they had moved in to the mansion. 

When he and Midnight reached the top of the stairs and turned the corner to reach the work room that Lisa had been using, Walker noticed a change. "Onyx, does the work room seem bigger than before?" 

"Yes brother, it looks as if Sister Lisa had taken up three more rooms in a row." Walker was sure he wasn't seeing things but he wasn't sure if he was counting wrong.. Onyx confirmed that Lisa had taken up three more rooms, for a total of four rooms for her work area. 

Knocking on the door, Walker entered, finding that the first room was a full display of different clothing and apparel. There were mannequins that Lisa had purchased to display vibrant colored clothing and detailed dresses. They were all more than Walker had ever expected his sister to be able to create. 

The next door appeared to be a modification to the room to separate the display area from the work area. Once he moved through there was a set of shelving and cubbies that stored all the threads, needles, fabric, and additional mannequins. From this, he finally found the large work table and sewing machine that had once been too expensive for his family to own. 

"Walker! Finally, I have been waiting for you three all day. What would you have done if I didn't make the measurements final?" Lisa's hard glare made all three of them unsteady. She was measuring them with just a look and they were sure that she had many plans for their costumes. 

"Sorry, I had to speak to a few people before I came. I also didn't want to interrupt Elise and Su. I can see the white feathers there, I guess the twin angel costume worked out?" The many white feathers Walker could see laying about the room made it too clear that the costume had come together very well. 

"That is something you will have to wait for tomorrow. I won't be telling you what Gil and Su are wearing either and if any of you ruin it I won't dance with you at the festival." Walker felt this threat was too real. Dancing was a big part of the festivities and it was a major loss if Lisa boycotted it. 

Well, Midnight, Onyx, and I can see each other's costumes right? That would be silly to split up now." Walker saw that his bargain was accepted and Lis pulled a sheet from the top of the table to reveal Walker's costume. 

"I present the evil gentleman costume. Top hat made of black sheep wool. The same with the pants and jacket. The shirt made with scarlet rose dye and the clear glass monocle is required no matter what to complete the ensemble. Not to mention the black silk tie." 

Walker was impressed. The costume was fancier than what most nobles would wear and exuded an air of mystery. However, there was one thing, "Do I really need to be an EVIL gentleman? I'm supposed to be a hero. I thought I would be in some light armor and sword with lots of white and silver." 

"That's so predictable. This is cool and aloof. You will get more attention with this because it goes against the personality you have. It also will look dashing." Lisa was dead set and Walker had no way to refuse. "Now, Midnight. It's time to try things on. Come with me." 

Lisa pulled Midnight away to the final room which Walker was sure was a changing room if things were working the way he believed in the four room layout. "First costume idea, Midnight and Onyx sibling costume, the chimera!" Midnight jumped out with a lion like fur around her neck along with a golden coat covering the majority of her body. Onyx had seamlessly taken a spot by Midnights' tail in a red sweater like fabric that made him look demonic. 

"Not the one? Doesn't shock you? I have more." Lisa pulled them away. A few moment later the door swung open again. "I present, Zombie dragon and the worm eating it, combo costume!" 

Midnight shambled out. Lisa had made a piece of fabric that had leftover bones on it along with green and brown cloth scraps. It definitely made Midnight seem like a zombie that had started to fall apart and show off her bones. Onyx was in a white sweater pattern now that made him look like a bone white worm. 

"Ooo, that one is really good. But is it wise to let Midnight walk around with bones?" Walker pointed to Midnight that seemed like she would eat the bones in the costume at any moment. 

"Alright alright, next try." Lisa pulled them back. A few moments later she opened the door again. "Princess Midnight and her faithful fairy Onyx!" Midnight had been adorned in pink and purple fabrics with a points ribbon had. Onyx had a similar fabric causing all but his head to blend in with Midnight. His head had been made to look like a floating fairy. 

Walker proceeded to nearly fall to the floor laughing looking at this costume. It did not fit Midnight and Onyx in the least. It was the opposite of their personality completely. "Please- hahaha- just ahahahhh- stop!" Walker laughed until Lisa brought the pair back away again. 

"Fine! This is the final trump care I have been holding on to. You will be blown away by this last costume. I swear you won't be able to say no to it or even judge it a little. Lisa's voice was strong and it snapped Walker from his laughter. He, instead, eagerly awaited this costume.
