Happy Halloween! May I present to you the Japanese tradition of Mundane Halloween (no relation to except by accident)?

The idea is to go in costume as something quotidian, such as:

Factory Worker With Helmet Hair

Guy Trying To Make A Viral Video Of His Cat Riding A Roomba

Woman Who Is Taking Her Sweet Time Getting To Work Because She Has Proof Her Train Was Delayed

Retail Worker Forced To Wear An Idiotic Store Halloween Costume On Duty

That Girl On The Totoro Poster That’s Not Actually In The Movie

YouTube Conspiracy Nut

God I love this so much it's a joy every year

Totoro poster girl is good

Why does the Totoro poster girl look like the girl from Squid Games?

It Nyanka : similar fashion reference pools?

Possibly.

but now I'm imagining this going on in Isekai Online. Like a group of players trying to cobble together these everyday modern people costumes from the fantasy wardrobe they're stuck with?

I remember a few years ago when people were dressing up as office workers in the wind or something similar. I don't think it was necessarily a halloween thing but it tickled me.

It Nyanka : I brought up there was no relation because the world in I/O is Mundus, making things of that world Mundane.

Mundane Gods. Mundane Magic. Mundane Monsters. Stuff like that.

But “earthoween costumes” as a Playerbase tradition does sound fun
