you know, you shouldn't limit your halloween costumes to fictional characters with metal arms
you can still be anyone you want to be

even sven the reindeer if you really want to be him

[armeyets]

yeah but i've never really done the whole costume thing- halloween was different back in my day. so kinda seems like a waste to have this prop and not get to do anything with it, right?

[...]

did you ever do halloween after you left the states?

[viuva]

this might be a silly question but is just your hand removable
we can replace it with a hook so you can be captain hook and i can be tinkerbell

[ she was not expecting that question — but, it doesn't make her as sad as it should've. ]

no
this will be my first halloween since
what about you? have you done halloween since defecting

[armeyets]

[ He snorts; half-laughs. ]

nope it's the entire arm, unfortunately. comes off at the shoulder.

and i haven't, no. i was on the run by myself for a while, which wasn't really the best for answering the door for little kids when my face was in all the newspapers? and then it was me and steve and nat and co, but we were wanted fugitives then, too. so it just never like... seemed like the right time for this sort of thing

until now

[viuva]

the wakandans should have made it so your arm comes off at your wrist and then your elbow and finally at your shoulder specifically for when halloween comes around

but that is fair
so it will be both our firsts! how exciting

[ yelena hears more about nat's time on the run from bucky than from her own sister, but she digresses — ]

i really do wish trick or treating as adults was a more common thing
because i would really love to flaunt my costume and get rewarded with free candy from strangers

have you decided on a costume out of all the ones we mentioned

[armeyets]

who says we can't try?

and not really. i'm indecisive. instead of helping you with all your options i've gotten stuck on my own

maybe elsa and the reindeer except then i've got to watch the movie

[ he's thinking low-key costumes, mostly. wearing a set of soft antlers would be easy enough, plus there's that rudolph cartoon (which he has seen; that one came from barton's list of must-watches). ]
