This Progressive October as Alexander calls it... had a lot of noteworthy happenstance.
It was coming to an end though but a noteworthy festivity happen to coincide with that.
'October 31, 1985' has co and Halloween was finally here.
This also ant that costu season had peaked and Creed Costus and its products should have done their best.
Of course, Alexander's divisiveness and pessimistic ambivalence towards costus were sowhat of a crutch for the business endeavor. Which was why he actively requested sothing that should give him so sort of supportive silver lining to it.
------
As Creed Costus were sowhat spread and may be worn all over the Halloween-enjoying communities, Alexander happened to have boxes of custom costu props for his own.
It was delivered straight to his ho just this Halloween... in a twisted sense of timing.
"What's in the boxes, Alex?" Milla asked as soon as she saw his "thinking gaze".
"I'll tell you as long as you tell why you have a box too." Alexander bargained since an extra boxed package arrived among his bunch.
The extra box was actually ant for the girl.
"Oh, goodie! It's finally here!" Well, Milla just pounced on her box to open it. She wasn't like Alex that analyzes everything.
"You still haven't told what's in it." He reminded.
"Hehe! I already know that your boxes have costus by the way." Milla knew a lot since she had plenty of Creed employee connections. "When you asked for Creed Costus people to design sothing for you, I also asked sothing for myself. So, what's in my box is also a costu. "
That was quite unexpected and it made him curious. "What costu did you ask for?"
"I'll tell you if you tell yours." Milla bargained with a bit of a twist. "Oh! How about we do this to make things fun?"
"Let's change into our costus and we will both be able to tell each other then." Well, it seems she had a much different preposition to go for and that was to play dress-up.
"Yeah. Why not?" Alexander played along since there was not much to do. It was a holiday and a Sunday after all.
"Great. I'll change upstairs and you change wherever!" Milla was quite excited to have Alex on board. "et back here in the living room. Then, let's go have an Arican Halloween!"
"Sure sure." Alexander appeased as he picked up his box and she picked up hers.
All the while, her 'Arican Halloween' comnt got him to wonder what Halloween in the Soviet Union was like.

Eventually, they both changed and convened again at the in-house costu showcase venue.
Alexander changed at an astonishing pace like the boy he is... and Milla arrived later like the girl she is.
In any case, as soon as Milla stepped into the living room... their secretive custom costus were revealed to each other.
Alexander sighed with exasperation. "Chichi. How'd you even know about that axed costu design?"
"I have many friends in many Creed places!" Milica had her chin up with pride and interrogation. "Why did you not approve the Chichi costu? I think it looks amazing and shouldn't it be good for business?!"
After which, she twirled around like a model with the whole Chichi ensemble. She even pressed that Chichi helt button and said. "I even feel like I could slice a dinosaur up like how my Chichi did."
Of course, she needed so explanation from Alex. "From Charlie toys, that shotgun , and then this Chichi costu... do you have sothing against the products of the characters I'm connected to?"
"I have reasons." Alexander looked away from that great Chichi-ness as he explained. "For starters, that helt is impressive and everything but it is incredibly hard to mass produce. Profitability is so low that it's not worth it.
"As for the rest of the Chichi ensemble..." He didn't really want to look back at the girl's bold clothing choice. "The way you look already speaks for itself."
Milla looked by the mirror and found her gloves, boots, and helt great. Then, she looked at her bra and panties to understand what Alex ant. "I'm sexy."
Alexander would have choked if he was drinking water. "Reasons enough for you."
It had to be noted that although he had seen her attire for the pool... the Chichi costu was just a step above. He had to look away so as to really not weird up the already weird friendship he has with little Milica.
A comic book or cartoon character wearing that kind of thing is barely within the limits of acceptable.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
If Creed makes such a costu available in real life, then the 80s conservatives will burn them by the stake.
"Yeah, I get it." Milla look at her costu and said with regret. "... but it's still a sha."
Of course, with her costu revealed... she intent-ly looked to Alex for what his costu is. "What are you even costuming for? You're just wearing white clothes all over."
"Generally, I like dark thes." Alexander had always opted for them due to the hair and eye color that he has. Simple but effective. "However, a costu is about wearing a different persona. White seems like perfect opposition to my usual. Hence, I am costud."
"That may be a costu for you since you don't wear much white..." Milica found it odd. "...but it still isn't a costu, I think?"
Of course, she realized the whole thing was odd from the get-go. "Didn't you not like costus because it is silly? Even if your costu is not really a costu, how co you're doing it now?"
"Rember what you said in Comic-Con about how not wearing costus myself is bad for the business?" Alexander admitted. "Well, the costu products are being on sale as we speak. In the off chance that what you speculated is true, it can't hurt to try stuff out."
"Aha! I was right!" The girl savored the mont. It was rare for her to be right against the correction-er Alex.
The boy even seem to not want to look in her direction which made her believe that he was ashad or maybe he didn't want to admit things.
She was a good sport though and cheered him up. "It's alright, Alex. People can't be right all the ti. How about I just help you with a proper costu to really not trouble your business?"
Alexander didn't bother trying to correct the misunderstanding much. However, she was coming close and in her Chichi costu, so he had to do sothing.
Picking up sothing from his costu box on the side, he wore the thing in a hurry and said. "Tada. I already have a proper costu so no help is needed."
Fortunately, that stopped the scantily clad girl in her tracks as she looked at his whole costu reveal in amusent.
Milica could now see that the whole white clothes were trying to match sothing and that white bucket that is now in his head was the missing piece.
The white bucket has weird eyes and curved-up lips designed for it.
Of course, she didn't know what it really ant but it looked familiar to sothing in Star Wars. Alex's costu seems sillier than that though, so she laughed. "Haha! You look like one of those white-armored soldiers around that Darth Vader guy. Those white soldiers looked cool but your look crappier than them."
"Those are stormtroopers." Alexander voiced under his bucket helt. Granted, the stormtrooper misunderstanding was understandable but... "This is sothing different."
"If it's not that. What character are you basing this on then?" Milica still found his costu funny but she was also curious.
"I'm not basing this on any character." Technically, he is but she didn't need to know the whole truth. "This is for a new character that I'm developing."
"You're releasing new comic titles again!" A new character ant a new comic for Milla.
That was a welco surprise. She knew a lot of people had been bumd that Alex didn't make new titles ever since those law-thingies.
"Not exactly. But when you go about it in comic terms... I'm actually making a new identity to hide my true one." Alexander explained as he was quite looking forward to this one. "Kind of like Bruce Wayne and the Batman persona that he developed into."
Milla was shocked. "Oh my god, Alex! Are you going to be a hero?! In real life."
That was quite a leap of comic logic that Alexander had to take his bucket-like helt off. "Uhm... no. That would be reckless and stupid and I don't even have the tech or superpower."
"What is it about then?" Milla tilted her head in confusion.
"Instead of going for the 'I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman' stick" He continued on as he ti it while placing his bucket helt back on. "I will go with..."
"I am lody."
"I am music."
"I am... Marshllo."
The Marshllo helt perfectly fit with that and a new and different music icon was conceived.
Alexander has Christopher Cornstock to thank for this option as he inspired him with a solution to things that plagued him.
Aside from solving the non-costu-wearing jinx... the mysterious music persona strategy will help resolve the concerns he has with starting a music career.
Hiding the apathy and indifference he really has... that painted smile will throw people off from who he really is.
Marshllo will be Alexander's musician alter ego that will take the music industry by storm!

Clearly, another noteworthy progress has been made. It was even at the brink of Progressive October... making it a Halloween special indeed!
