When Augie saw Claire, he found he couldn't help himself. His eyes widened, and tough his mask muffled it, the volume was still clear as he started singing: [color=A43333]"Spooky scary skeletons send shivers down your spine! Shrieking skulls will shock your soul
Seal your doom tonight!"[/color]. He'd learned the first few verses specifically because he had hoped someone would dress as a skeleton. He was absolutely thrilled he could put his knowledge to use so perfectly.

Thoroughly chuffed at his wit, he went and grabbed a small handful of assorted snacks. When he turned around, he saw something he never thought he would. Rob, the metalhead, dressed in a skimpy cheerleader outfit. For a moment, Augie just gaped. By turns, his face was surprised, amused, confused, and then it seemed that a moment of clarity came over him, and he almost jumped right into the air. [color=A43333]"Oh my god Rob... You fucking madman! Now..... it all makes sense! This is why you're singing Dancing Queen! Because you're a dancing queen! You know what you really are though"[/color], he said, looking the madman straight in the eyes, [color=A43333]"You're a bloody genius."[/color]. When Alice came downstairs, Augie looked away from Rob and his ridiculous getup to see what she was dressed as.
    Augie didn't get it immediately, but when he did, you could tell by the smile and slow nod of comprehension. He waited for Bernie to get it to speak up. [color=A43333]"Very clever, Alice. Seems we've got your Queen of Hearts here, too!"[/color], he gestured to Rob, raising an eyebrow. He realised how deranged he must look, what with his hair sticking out at all angles, gas mask, bloodshot eyes, and pointing at a guy dressed as a cheerleader. He promptly rectified this situation.

Still paying attention to who was talking, he found a cup and poured himself some cider. Unclasping his gas mask, he hung it around his neck and took a sip.
