Right right, god damn it. Why can't I stop picturing this? Are you picturing it too? Please say yes, so I'm not alone in this.
But yeah, you might be on to something, ok I'll put the damn thing on, but how in the hell are we going to scare that dickwad? I mean, the guy cuts off and eats fingers for a living, what do you think is going to make his hair curl? (If he has any hair left to curl.)
No! I'm not picturing anything! He has that godawful chicken costume, imagine that!
You could charge him? I can't imagine he'd be all that excited to see his own creepy elephant costume running at him. If you think you're not tall enough to make it work I could sit on your shoulders and we could do it together. Maybe he'll think it's coming back for revenge for all the times he DIDN'T WASH IT. God that was so gross.
Ok that's like marginally better, I'll try. I wish my memory died with my freaking body so I could forget this image.
Ok yeah, I think you sitting on my shoulders will get the height down. It'll be like playing chicken in a pool. For the width, I'm thinking maybe Jake and Claudette could forage some leaves to stuff the belly with? You know, like achieve the proper girth or whatever? We should definitely wash this costume first before trying it on. Maybe find a new pond, not contaminate the already contaminated waters with clown filth.
We might not need to make it all that big. If we can make him think the suit is haunted maybe he'll never wear it again, and a ghost isn't going to be as fat as he is. Probably? Ghosts usually just grab the limbs and get going.
And I promise I washed it already. The best I could. Not in our pond, either, because that would contaminate it forever. It still kind of smells bad, but trust me, it's WAY better than before.
You're making perfect sense to me. Any chance you know any spells or boons that create ghost noises? Like we could really make this convincing, make it glow somehow or like float!?
Ok ok, as long as it wasn't in our pond, I guess I'll just plug my nose. I didn't think we'd fully get rid of the stench
No, but I can do a good ghost noise. A lot of good ones, actually. Julian was better but I

It's just mostly mold and horse smell by now!! He let it hang out by Maurice back before, well. But it's not so bad! I don't know about glowing but maybe if we find some of that creepy blight stuff we can drip it all over the suit and make him think that's what possessed it. Okay hope you're ready to run me around for a while! Be back later, I'm going to see what I can find!
[ Sorry Mikaela, Steve doesn't pick up on subtleties of phone communication and etiquette or timing. He doesn't even know how to use emoji, even though Nancy is somehow a master at it now. ]
I really miss that guy, you know? The smell is going to be nostalgic now. Ok maybe I'll go check for some leftover Blight smoothie in one of those syringes that Quentin keeps around. It's been awhile since leg day, so hey maybe we could make this a regular thing so I can stay in shape, run those bastards in trials for even longer. Let me know if you find anything!
[ Eh, he wasn't that pressed about it. He'll bring it up again if he remembers. ]
Nah you're gonna be totally fine, just perfectly unharmed and very stable on my shoulders, I wouldn't worry about it. Especially since the first time we'll be in a costume, it's like a protective layer. Not that we'll need it
[ Hey what do you know, Nea had some bought serum hidden in her chest she thinks is secret. That's useful, and Steve's only gonna borrow just a tiny bit of it. ]

Great! Thanks! That might be fun! As long as you don't trip and send me flying headfirst right into something but I'm counting on you!
