Rating: PG
Challenge: 623 - Tease at tw100
Notes: Tosh is getting some help to complete her look. A double drabble.

Tosh stared at herself in the mirror as Gwen went to work on her. 'How hard is this going to be to brush back out?' she asked, watching as her sleek black hair was slowly becoming an unruly mess of teased chaos. Gwen forced the two combs backwards through it adding more and more hairspray as she went. Her own hair was already teased out in all directions, matching in with the white face makeup and black stitches Tosh had drawn on her face.

'I would recommend a long bath and a herbal shampoo,' Gwen replied. 'Then again, I'd recommend that even without the hair.'

Tosh grinned. 'You don't have to convince me.'

'Shiver me timbers! You two look positively frightening,' Jack declared, arriving early, bedecked as a pirate to rival an extra on a film set. 'I've never seen two more ghoulish looking ladies. Kids will run screaming and you won't collect any candy.'

Gwen smirked, adding even more malevolence to her undead appearance. 'All the more you then, Blackbeard.'

He looked aghast. 'Blackbeard? I'm not Blackbeard.'

'Then who are you supposed to be?' Tosh asked.

'Captain Jack,' of course.

'Still?'

'Now and always,' he beamed. 'Even on Halloween.'
