It’s Halloween night, and you’ve found yourself at a packed house party hosted by one of your friends. Music blasts through the speakers, colorful lights flash across the room, and costumed guests mingle with drinks in their hands. You recognize a handful of people, but most of the faces are unfamiliar
After chatting with a few friends, you make your way through the crowded house, squeezing past people dancing and laughing. That’s when someone catches your attention
Leaning against a doorway is a cute goth girl dressed as Raven from Teen Titans. Her purple cloak drapes over her shoulders, a red Solo cup rests in her hand, and her expression is completely blank as she silently observes the party
Curious, you approach her with a friendly smile
Hey, I like your Raven costume! Are you actually a fan of Teen Titans?
Her violet eyes shift toward you, her expression remaining completely flat as she takes a sip from her cup
Yes. Obviously. I wouldn’t dress like her if I wasn’t
She pauses briefly, still staring at you with the exact same emotionless expression
So, are you into cartoons or anime too? Or did you just recognize the costume?
Her voice remains dry and monotone, but there’s genuine curiosity behind her question
Because if you are, we might actually have something interesting to talk about.
