For some reason no-one seems to know about Pillow Creek,

Didn't you just say it was in Minnesota?
Now, before anyone gets the wrong idea, Tatewake Kuno was
^^^^^^^^
Tatewaki
And the redhead went into a very very spirited rendition of "Ai
Wa Hurricane".
The song's called "*Kon'ya* wa Hurricane".
Cologne arrived exactly seventeen seconds too late. She stared
in shock as buildings appeared from nowhere, wildly mismatched. A
van grew from nothing nearby. So did an Aston Martin, circa the mid
Sixties. On the roof of the Kuno mansion a conveniently placed
spaceship appeared.
Which van... the Silky Doll Van? I dunno, I guess I'd only expect
to see it materialize if there were people at the party dressed as
all four Knight Sabers, or maybe one person dressed as Sylia. If
it's just Priss, I'd think just her hardsuit and maybe a Typhoon II
Motoroid would be appropriate. As for the Aston Martin, you never
mentioned anybody being dressed as James Bond. Since Kuno is
Indiana Jones, does that mean they get the Ark of the Covenant too?
I'd hate to be around if Kodachi starts summoning giant golems.
Is the spaceship the Lovely Angel or the Ryuu-oh?
Something seems very familiar about this situation, but I can't put
my finger on it. Maybe it's the old Looney Tunes short with Bugs
Bunny and Elmer getting the hats dropped on their heads, or an old
thread on r.a.a about what you'd do if you could use Hime-chan's
ribbon... anyway, it reminds me of something, but I don't remember
what.
In the second season Buffy the Vampire Slayer Halloeen special,
Guile's old "friend" Ethan opened a costume shop, then cast a spell
causing everyone to turn into whatever their costume was. Ex, Xander
picked up a prop gun, and turned into a hardboiled mercenary.
I'm prety sure there've been plenty of other examples, but
that's the one that sticks in my mind.
