At the Umbra Coven | Renlin’s Party | Agastya
Dante spun around at the sound of Agastya’s voice, a broad grin already tugging at his lips. He was still buzzing from the scavenger hunt, the adrenaline mixing with the carefree atmosphere of the costume party. The makeshift Spider-Man suit clung to him in all its colorful, slightly ridiculous glory, but that only added to the fun. It wasn’t about looking perfect - it was about embracing the moment.
With a dramatic flair, Dante extended his hand, mimicking the iconic web-slinging motion. “How’s it swinging, indeed?” he said, his voice playful and light. “Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, making sure no one’s causing too much trouble at this after-party.” He threw his head back slightly, pretending to survey the room like a vigilant hero. “No evil stands a chance when Spider-Dante’s on the scene.” But then, in true Dante fashion, he immediately broke the act, laughing at himself, the easygoing warmth of his chuckle cutting through the theatrics. He winked, the mask resting around his neck, revealing his playful expression.
The upbeat music and laughter of the crowd swirled around them, but Dante’s attention was fully on Agastya now. With a half-turn and a cocky grin, he leaned in slightly, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial tone, “But between you and me, I think I’ve earned a break after that scavenger hunt. All that running around? Even Spidey needs a breather.”
He struck a goofy pose, one hand on his hip and the other raised in a mock web-sling, holding the ridiculous stance for a beat too long. His eyes sparkled with mischief, perfectly matching the playful vibe of the evening. “You, though,” Dante continued, as he observed Agastya’s costume, "You really went all out, huh?” Dante exclaimed, his voice light and teasing, but with an undercurrent of genuine respect. The sparkle in his eyes mirrored the joy Agastya seemed to exude, and he couldn’t help but grin at the sheer boldness of the look. "Dude, your Betty Boop look is on another level!” He chuckled, shaking his head in mock disbelief. “I mean, I’ve seen some wild outfits, but you’re absolutely killing it!"
With a playful glint in his eye, Dante offered, “Just so you know, if anyone gives you crap for looking too fly, I’ll web-sling right over and throw down for you,” he added with a playful wink. “Seriously though, man, you look awesome. I’m here for it.”
