KOF Extras

Halloween 2024

This time, Benimaru was hosting the Halloween party. K' excitedly put together his Okarun outfit. He had no idea what even happens in Dandadan, but knew enough of the character to put together a costume. Zayn, on the other hand, was dressed like Noctis from Final Fantasy. They were surprised that he even sprayed his hair black.
Krizalid frowned as he sat on his bed, watching as K' painted a row of large teeth across the lower half of his face. He didn't see any use for dressing up this Halloween, seeing how the others would be more interested in shipping him with Foxy every chance they get instead.
"You sure you don't wanna come for Beni's party?" K' asked, turned to look at him with outlined teeth across his face.
Krizalid shook his head. "Yeah. I don't feel all that good," he lied. "Must be because of the Thai food we had for lunch yesterday."
"Really? But I feel fine," K' turned back to the mirror to resume colouring in the monstrous teeth.
"Maybe my stomach isn't as good as yours," Krizalid frowned. "You guys go ahead and enjoy, and maybe bring home some candy if you can."
K' shrugged. "Sure, if I can get any."
Krizalid sighed and decided to leave the room. Everyone were going all except for him. Maxima was dressed as the Hulk, walking around all green, Diana was coming as some demon with sharp teeth, Kula was going as Kagura from Gintama, and Isolde was going as an elf princess. Even Seirah had dressed up as Anna from Tekken, using a false fringe to get the right hairstyle.
And then there was Krizalid still lounging about in a grey hoodie and sweatpants.
"You're not ready yet?" Maxima asked, fixing his black wig as he looked at him in surprise. "Kriz, it's almost time for us to leave."
"You better not be planning to wear that same stalker outfit of yours," Seirah sighed as she hid her trusty whip under her red cheongsam-inspired dress. "You know that never works, right?"
Krizalid rolled his eyes, shaking his head as he did. "Guys, I'm not coming." Everyone gasped at this information, each murmuring their own versions of 'Why not?' and 'WHY?!'. Krizalid sighed. "It's because I'm not feeling all that well after what we ate yesterday."
"Really?" Kula frowned. "I don't usually eat spicy food, and even I'm okay."
Krizalid frowned. There goes his strong reputation. Well, he didn't care. If it meant he could have a peaceful night, that was enough.
"Excuse you," he said. "But I'm just gonna spend the night eating Indian food to honour Diwali. It fell on Halloween this year."
K' walked out of the room, his frown hard to see because of all the face paint. "You sure they're gonna be open? You do know that they might be closed for celebrations, right?"
"Then I guess I'll just eat something else, then," Krizalid shrugged and turned to go back to his room. "Anyway, enjoy your night, you guys. Don't worry about me."
"You sure about that?" Seirah asked, looking a little concerned.
Krizalid nodded. "Yep. Go on, go have fun at Beni's. And if you can, bring back some of the food."
"At this point, I feel like Beni himself would pack some for you out of pity," Maxima sighed. "Don't get yourself into trouble, okay? Don't do anything stupid."
Krizalid just looked at him, shaking his head before making his way back towards his room. "I ain't no toddler."
The others exchanged surprised glances, then shrugged before going downstairs. Their neighbours had already left so they planned to meet up with them at Benimaru's mansion instead.

Zayn perked up when he spotted Iori talking to Benimaru, who wore a 'knight in shining armour' costume. The redhead was dressed in his iconic costume of black, white, and red from the older tournaments, something that was an uncommon sight now. Zayn grinned and slowly went towards Iori, meaning to surprise him from behind.
"YAGAMI!" Zayn exclaimed rather loudly, causing Iori to jump out of his skin before turning around to look at him.
But that gesture alone made Zayn freeze mid-laughter, his smile vanishing as he stared at Iori in shock.
His eyes were fully red and there were specks of red dripping down his chin. Zayn backed away in surprise, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Nice Noctis costume," Iori casually complimented, a smile on his blood-streaked face.
Zayn gaped, still unable to speak. That made Benimaru laugh.
"Oh, Zayn, Yagami's just wearing a costume," Benimaru chuckled. "It's Halloween, after all."
Zayn relaxed and smiled when Iori started laughing at him as well. "It's such a realistic costume, dude. You scared me for a moment there."
Iori smirked. "Well, yeah. I was thinking of a scary costume, and then Kyo suggested that he had never been more scared of anything besides Orochi Iori. So why not do that? It was simple too, all I needed was contacts and fake blood."
"Yeah, but it's a good one," Zayn chuckled as he nodded. "Good costume." He lit up as he remembered something. "By the way, Dash is wearing an Okarun costume."
"Okarun from Dandadan?" Iori gasped. "Normal form or possessed form?"
Zayn smirked. "Possessed form."
"Oh gosh, I wanna see that!" Benimaru smirked. "Where is he?"
"On his way," Zayn said. "We took different cars, I came with Diana. Foxy stayed behind though."
"Oh, now that's a shame," Iori sighed. "We can't do our ship if she's at home, right?"
Benimaru snorted. "What I find funnier is the fact that the ship still hasn't worked out yet."
Zayn sighed in agreement. "Tell me about it. Those two just don't wanna come to terms with it. And I know that we're not forcing it upon them, not one bit. We all know how the two of them act around each other when we're not around."
Iori smirked. "We just need to set the mood."
"We should plan about it sometime," Benimaru said, giving the redhead a slight pat on the shoulder. He frowned as he suddenly realised something. "Wait a minute, where's Kyo?"
Iori started looking around as well. "Wasn't he just here?"
"He wasn't here since before I arrived," Zayn added, trying to look for him too.
Benimaru groaned. "Oh, gosh, where did he go? I hope he didn't go to the pool."
"What's wrong with him going to the pool?" Zayn asked curiously.
"It's restricted for partygoers," Iori said. "Not that we aren't allowed, it's just that it's being renovated. And Kyo isn't exactly the person you want around renovation works."
"Especially since Shingo was tagging along with him," Benimaru added. "The pool is a literal pit now, all the water has been drained to replace the tiles."
Zayn frowned. "Should we go look for him or something?"
Iori snorted. "Nah. Let him fall in that pit. Shingo will save him."
Benimaru shook his head with a frown. "That guy would probably fall in as well."
"Yeah, we should look for them," Zayn said at last.
