Varric stood holding a black sheet, his eyes stuck on a pile of armor that has been painted flesh tone with red spikes. The Inquisitor's Quarters were back full of props, candy, and a team of helpers.
"and run it by me why I need to be on your shoulders?" Varric asks, looking up towards the inquisitor. "Because you have broader shoulders." the inquisitor sighed, "yeah? and so then tell me why Chuckles is under you?" Varric asks with one brow raised.
Lavellan smiled, "because he had the narrower ass, You're the shoulders, I'm the arms and Solas is the ass-er...feet." they said.
Varric laughed quietly, setting down the costume, "I think you meant it a little too much the first way around." he said.
"It was Sera's Idea." Lavellan said, "a good one actually."
"You do know you'll be the one some panicked sleepy soldiers gonna wack in the gut right?" Varric asked.
"didn't think about that..." Lavellan murmured.
Bull walked out of the nook below the loft, Sera snickering behind him. "he won't come down." Bull grumbled. "He'd better, I pulled all sorts of strings to have those stockings hand made." Vivianne said with a grimace. "those shoes weren't easy to find either...ghastly blocky black heels..." Dorian chimed in.
"Solas, don't spoil the fun," Blackwall called up to the loft.
A bald head peeked over the railing, Solas' cheeks started to turn a soft shade of pink as he scowled. "It's embarrassing, this will surely be a terrible idea at such an hour in the night. someone could get hurt, or we could draw the attention of demons!" Solas raged.
"Cole would be our only concern." Vivianne spoke dryly, looking towards a very quiet Cassandra "I agree with Solas. this is preposterous! shouldn't Sera be Calpernia...what is the point of this reenactment?" said Cassandra.
"see! it's silly." Solas said.
"Come off it, I don't mind being Samson, Bulls going to be a Pride demon," Black wall reasoned. "and I'm doing to be a Terror with Vivi-bitch. it's fun, right? making fun of Coryphenis. even better that you have to wear the stockings!" Sera cheered.
Bull grinned, "I've got Krem all set to rally the refugee kids to save Skyhold from danger." he said.
"Did anyone tell Curly what is going on? If not, I bet all my money that he storms in and knocks us flat." Varric said.
Sera giggled "and two clackity elves won't be much cushion. Land on an elbow and you mike poke your eye out." she said.
"slip him a few drinks...that would fix everything." Dorian whispered to Bull. "oh, and I've got just the stuff...I'll be right back." Bull replied leaving the room.

Under the fierce glares of Lelianna, Cullen, and Josephine, three figures are piled up on the floor. Solas glaring at a pair of black shoes with one broken heel that lay before him. Lavellan lay across his back and Varric sat upon the Inquisitor's belly, holding his side.
"at least it wasn't an eye..." Varric muttered rubbing his rib, he could swear a bruise was forming.
Behind them came the roaring of children, "Take down the pride demon!" Krem called in the distance. " what have you to say for yourselves? half of Skyhold is in a frenzy... it's only minutes til dawn!" Josephine lectured.
"It was a holiday?" Lavellan asked.
The three advisors' glares remained in place.
"I was roped into this." Solas sighed.
"I'm a sucker for kids? The tiny folk of Skyhold needed some fun." Varric said.
"Maker!" Cullen gasped, as red tricked from between Lavellan and Solas. "is that blood?" he asked.
"You did through a dagger at us...." Varric said.
Lelianna sighed "get them to the infirmary, and let's try to make this whole night go away." she said.
Varric and Lavellan looked towards the cheering kids, as they stood proudly over the "slain demons" while the Chargers handed out reward candy.
"I could make you forget," Cole said, appearing between the Advisors. He chewed happily on his own piece of candy "But you wouldn't want me to." He said looking towards the kids as well "everyone had fun."
