Nërp said no-one had mentioned the tradition of making one's own costume, and as for frightening people, Google had said that (apart from candy) scaring people was the whole point of Hallowe'en.
However, he explained, as it happens he had also bought Hallowe'en Masks for the whole family, and he hopes W could find it in himself to forgive this tactless faux-pas.
Wilson asked if he would at least change out of his costume until Hallowe'en Night – Nërp replied that it had taken so long to apply his make-up etc that it wouldn't be possible, adding that perhaps it would be better if he remained in the bathroom for the time being. Like a Robotic Elephant Man…
I interrupted at this point, to ask whether I might have a shower before he returned.
Wilson dismissed my request out-of-hand, saying I was of far too nervous a disposition to survive seeing the Masks…
