Forums » General Roleplay » Trick or Treat: Robin

From one of the bedrooms, Lucina had woken up from a nap she had decided to take before the children who came out for Hallow's Eve would arrive at the door. Based off of some of the commotion she heard on the other side of the door, she couldn't help but slightly smile and giggle. Robin must have had his hands full... Though why did it sound like someone was running in the house? Robin must have just forgotten the candy.. Oh well, as long as nothing bad happens. The princess from the past thought to herself. The princess from the past... That was rather odd for her to think of herself as. Back in Ylisse, she was considered the princess from the future. Lucina found it ironic that that was the case, and now here she was.

It seemed to be time for her to join Robin out with the children. She would pick up a spruce blue sweater and then a pair of black pants, what the store called 'yoga pants'. She didn't realize they were called that until she bought them, so now she has pants for yoga...? She didn't want to waste money getting a different pair of pants, so she decided to keep them. Putting both article of clothing on, she walked out to where Robin was at the door.

"Good evening, Robin." She said sweetly. "Who do we have at the do-" Lucina cut herself off when she saw it was a tiger. "...H-Huh? I haven't seen a Laguz... ever, actually... Not in Ylisse." She whispered into Robin's ear. She presumed it was a shape shifter, so Lucina also presumed it was a Laguz since it was an animal.

Robin: A Laguz...?

A shape-shifting race of creatures that can transform into humans and animals at will. Robin has only read about them, reading about their legends and how some of them fought alongside the Radiant Hero, Ike. Observing the "tiger" and hearing Lucina, Robin thought of it being a Laguz for a moment. Nevertheless, he reached into the bowl, grabbed a handful of candy, and handed it to their "guest."

Robin: Here you go...

As Lucina joins the group in the living room, Ayoka darts past her into the cottage bedroom when the door is opened. She'd beeline for the window, hoisting it open and hopping out into the night, where she'd bolt for freedom. The wagging of her tail would slow her down a bit, but she was intent on escaping with her extra handfuls of candy.

After Robin had given the candy, Robin heard running. He turned around, noticing that Ayoka had been gone. All that he manage to see was her tail. Robin decided to give chase, but not before handing the bowl to Lucina, almost pushing her with his force.

Robin: Excuse me for a moment...

He ran to where the tail had gone, and saw that Ayoka was in the bedroom. Robin ran as fast as he could to catch up, but it was too late. The window was open, and Ayoka must've escaped through there. He tried to see where she had gone, but the night was too dark, and she should be long gone. He sighed once again and thought "Well... There goes half the candy... Might as well make-do with what we have."

He returned back at the main entrance, feeling slightly discouraged that Ayoka got away. He focused back at the task at hand.

Robin: Pardon my sudden disappearance. Now, where were we...?

There had been excitement bubbling in Ei this evening -- she was not sure if it was possibly a sugar rush, or just the fact that the night had been relatively amazing thus far. There had been so many people in differing costumes that had her pretty excited. Not to mention that it pleased her video gaming side a lot. There were plenty of people that were dressed up as people that she either played as in her games, or she got to at least interact with in her games.

It was because of this that Ei was really happy that she brought her instant camera and had lots of film ready for the night.

Approaching the next house, the elven individual found herself giddy at the sight of both Lucina and the male version of Robin. She had been familiar with the games that they came from, and even several more from the series as a whole. Holding her camera tightly, Ei had skipped up to the house, beaming as she anticipated being able to take a photo of some more well-dressed cosplayers in the evening.

"H-hi!" Ei said, catching her breath a bit as she flipped some of her silver hair back over her shoulder. "Trick-or-treat, Robin and Lucina! Can I take your picture?"

At current, having a picture souvenir of the two would have been way better than a sack full of candy. After all, there were plenty of years after this, and the immortal elven girl would have plenty of opportunity for more treats and trickery as time went on. Seeing well-crafted costumes and cosplayers, on the other hand? Sometimes, those moments could be there and never come again.

Robin: A picture...?

Robin didn't understand what Ei Ie was trying to say. All that he knew what that this guest was excited to see them. Probably another person who thought that that Lucina and him were incredibly well done costumes. Still, he was from the past, and he wanted to know how he and his family were so recognizable.

Robin: I guess so?

He turned to Lucina to see what her response was.

Inside of the house, Lucina heard some running. As she was about to look inside, there was suddenly a bowl of candy shoved at her, Lucina was a bit surprised as she quickly took it, and Robin ran inside. Not knowing what to say, she was processing what had just happened. That was odd... Wait.. who's in our house if it isn't Robin or me? Morgan is out... She'd slightly frown to herself when she came up with an idea of what it could have been, but she shook her head, and she saw that Robin was walking back over to her.

"Well... W-" She silenced herself when she heard the voice of a newcomer. Lucina turned towards them. The girl-who looked like an elf from stories Lucina had read when she was younger-was holding a strange metal object in her hands.

"A... picture?" She'd tilt her hand, glancing over at Robin. Was she asking to paint them...? "Umm.. Sure!" Lucina would quickly say, looking back at the girl. She hoped she would say some things that gave the two hints of what to do.

Feeling incredibly giddy in that moment, Ei had done a small dance before moving back a bit and holding up her camera in front of herself, Lucina, and Robin. It was a typically selfie type gesture, though Ei had made sure that she was in a decent enough area before she readied the camera, and it hummed in anticipation.

"Okay! Smile for the camera! One..!" Ei started to count down, grinning widely, and continuing to hold up the bulky item with relative ease (surprisingly enough).

"Two..!"

A glance back to make sure that they were ready.

"Last chance! Make sure to look at the camera and smile!" Ei warned, leaning in a bit closer to the two. Her finger was on the button for the picture, though she had glanced back once more to gauge Robin and Lucina's response to having their pictures taken.

Robin: Might as well.

He shrugged, smiling at Ei Ie's...device.

Olimar began to walk up to towards Robin as he began to hear a few of his blue and red pikmins following him on his footsteps. He began to notice the male with white hair and a robe, a female who has blue hair, and another woman with white hair. He began to approach them as he let out a soft smile onto his face. The blue pikmins began to look at them as the red pikmin looks both left and right to make sure nothing is watching them, even the creatures as well.

Lucina found it odd how the girl seemed to be facing the same direction they were facing... What was she going to be doing? Not so sure, she glanced at Robin one more time, and then she slightly leaned to be closer to the device, which seemed to be making a soft noise now. She put on a smile for it, and waited for whatever was to happen, well, happen.

After waiting for any sign of this process being finished, Lucina would straighten herself. "Oh! I nearly forgot..." The princess quickly said before holding up the bowl that Robin has given her earlier. "Would you like some candy?" She would ask, tilting her head slightly as she waited for the answer.

(I want to presume Olimar has a size increase compared to his usual under 2 CM length, right? If he is, his usual size, please correct me.)

Hearing another man walking over, she'd look over to see someone with... a rather large nose. But other than that, they were wearing a strange suit. It was most likely a spacesuit, however, so she didn't say anything about it and just smiled. "Hello!" She greeted with another smile. There seemed to be a lot more people in costume behind the man, each having a strange... leaf for a head? They looked a bit like carrots, but with color.

After the picture was taken, Robin returned to his original position, standing upright facing the door. He wondered if that device was the same thing as one of the many Anna merchants' "Snapshot Tome."


Again, he had heard more footsteps approaching the entrance. Robin took a moment to carefully observe the newest visitor. A short person, having other creatures behind him each with a different color and leaves on your heads. He greeted with a smile on his face and cheer in his voice.

Robin: Why, hello there!

The strangest thing was that this person seemed familiar to Robin, as if they had met somewhere.

Robin: Care for some candy?

Olimar began to let out a soft smile as he nods. "Yes please. I would love to have some." He said in a normal tone as he saw the blue and red Pikmin looking at the two of them. "Greetings Miss." He said to Lucina as he let out a soft smile onto his face. Without any hesitation, Olimar began to rub his neck as the red Pikmin began to cheer happily as the blue Pikmin tilts his head as if, he was confused. "Allow me to introduce to myself, I'm Captain Olimar, The man who pilots the S.S Dolphin!" He said in a confident voice as he smiled.

|| Yeah, he is short as well.

I tripped over the step as I approached it, causing my candy bag to fly up. One by one, pieces of candy comically bounced off my head. I sighed as I got up, now covered in dust. I had dressed up as a bat, and I wished I could just fly away. Things like that had been happening all night.
"Trick-or-treat." I said, feigning a smile. I held out my hands, my bag still dropped on the floor.

Once the flash had gone off, Ei had excitedly taken the instant photo from the camera and started shaking it around a bit. It would take some time to develop from the initial picture having been taken, but that was fine. Ei was content with sticking around for a while. Hopefully the picture would have been good either way.

"Oh... candy! That's right! I would really love some!" Ei had said, putting the camera away and picking up her pillowcase of treats accumulated throughout the evening. She had still been waiting for the picture to show up.

"And, uh... we can look at the picture once it's ready, too! Right now, it's gonna take a couple minutes..."

Lucina blinked as she kept her smile, looking down at the short hocotate. Of course she would not know this was a hocotate, however. She wouldn't even know what one was. Nor did Lucina know his followers were Pikmin. This man seemed familiar to her... Didn't he used to have a mustache? As well as a red outfit with overalls? Perhaps... No, this was a different person. The nose and name are a bit similar to her, though. She glanced at the Pikmin. "Do your friends want some candy, too?" She asked sweetly. Then, she felt as if she needed to ask the question on her mind... Or at least after she was done being caught off guard by the deep, but confident voice Olimar had. "Sorry if I'm wrong but... Have we met before? I have the strangest feeling that I have seen you from somewhere else.." Lucina asked the question both Robin and herself had on their minds.

---

Her eyes quickly went towards a boy who tripped over. She was compelled to duck, but she didn't. The bag didn't fly at her, rather up into the house, causing it spill over the boy. "...! Are you alright?" Lucina would ask in shock as she would put some candy into his open hands. She handed the bowl of candy towards Robin and knelt to the ground, collecting the candy and putting it into the bag he had dropped. "Here you go. Be careful with it." She mused a bit, handing it over.

---

In her mind, Lucina couldn't help but feel concerned for the white haired girl. Her body was twitching uncontrollably... Was that even healthy? Or was she just thinking about this more than she should? Either way though, she still felt concern, but she decided to not say anything about it. Her humor was rather dry, so perhaps she has a hard time telling some emotions as well? Perhaps not, but she didn't want to scare her away. "I don't think I caught your name... What was it again? You seem to know ours, so.." She chuckled slightly, not knowing how to continue that sentence. She did felt a bit wary form inside of her however. How did this girl know both of their names? Did it have anything to do with those who walked up to Robin saying he looked just like the real Robin?

With a smile, she would hand the girl some candy, putting it into the pillowcase she was using for a bag. Maybe they could have just given Morgan a pillowcase to use instead of a bag? That could have helped cut down the money they had to spend, though they'd never need to worry about using it all, since they weren't staying here forever. She wasn't exactly sure still what the girl was talking about when she said it would take a few minutes to process. Perhaps it was an advanced drawing device? "..Of course!" She would say with a nod.

"Well, my fellow Pikmins can share a piece." He said as he began to split the candy in thirds. Olimar ate one of the candy, the red Pikmin ate one candy, and so does the blue Pikmin as they begna to cheer happily. As he began to look at them, he rubs his chin as he began to remember where he met Robin and Lucina as he looked at him with a normal expression on his face. "I think we met, correct?" He asked to Lucina and Robin. Did he began to recognize them? The Captain somehow noticed the red and blue Pikmins going between him as well.

Illuna walked up to the house rather glumly, her hand tightened around a bright purple pumpkin with very little candy. Kids had been pushing her over and stealing her candy all night, and she couldn't tell them to leave her alone. Her costume if you could call it that, consisted of her usual leggings underneath a long purple jacket with cat ears sticking out of the hood. What people didn't know, was that underneath the hood she had real cat ears, and the tail that she had was real.

Knocking on the door confidently, Illuna held her purple bucket in front of her excitedly. She really did want SOME candy by the end of the night that she could eat, even if it was the gross candy the other kids didn't want.

"Thank you so much! How could I ever repay you?" I asked Lucina warmly with a smile. I suddenly saw adorable little bean creatures. I knelt down and looked at them. I grinned at them, and I could've sworn one of them grinned back. I broke into a huge grin, overjoyed by the adorableness.

Robin: Hmmm... Let me see...

Robin would then look over at Lucina, who was taking care of the young lad, and then back at Olimar.

Robin: Yes... It's all coming back to me. Weren't you in... Ah, what was it called again?
