🎃 HALLOWEEN MINGLE 🎃

[benames]

You are cordially invited to Cisco and Winn's Not-Too-Terrifying Halloween Costume Party!

Who: everyone ( yes, you too!)
Broadcast: N/A
Action: aboard the Iskaulit!
When: current



[ on the night of the 28th, the lecture hall will open its gates though it'll look remarkably different. Winn and Cisco would have decorated the corridors leading to it with Jack-o'-lanterns made from the pumpkins gathered at the little patch on the planet. The hall itself will be similarly decorated, along with other traditional scary Halloween decorations made from paper and fabric ( don't ruin the little paper spiders, they took hours to make! ). There will be music from various times of Earth-1 and Earth-3, so don't be surprised to find Lady Gaga playing alongside the Spice Girls! Feel free to make requests or otherwise, just show your skills on the dance floor!

There will be a bar run by Nami offering free sodas, though you'll have to pay for your own alcohol ( remember, don't drink and fly! ). Alongside the bar, characters will find a few tables offering candy from Earth-1 won by Cisco at the game room with a little sign reading TAKE ONE, LEAVE SOME FOR OTHERS and quite a lot of space chips and protein dips as well as various candy from all over the different planets ( cleverly hoarded by Winn! ) and a large selection of pumpkin pies and pumpkin treats. Characters will also find a line leading to Cisco's trusty ice cream machine, though it'll only offer peanut butter flavored sorbet.

At the corner of the hall there will be a karaoke machine with a little sign-up sheet. Characters could sign up solo or in groups and list the song they'd like to sing. Keep in mind though, the entire hall will be able to hear your rendition of Sexy and I Know it!

Adventure-seeking characters will be able to follow signs reading HAUNTED HOUSE and reach a large hall that was turned into a maze by large cardboard blocks painted black or covered by dark fabrics. Making it out of the maze won't be too hard and the maze itself won't be too frightening but will be mildly startling. It'll include some nifty engineered animatronics of witches, scarecrows, scary clowns and skeletons as well as holograms of ghosts! The song featured in the invitation will also be heard here, on repeat. It's a good break from the dancing and for some private conversations and moments.

Remember, costume are mandatory! you don't want to be caught by tonight's pumpkin kings, do you? ]

[Video] + action for the Tourist

[helladoomed]

Who: Chloe and open
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Tourist!
When: The 27th? Sure why not.

[Network]

[The feed clicks on to show Chloe's room on the Tourist, Chloe sitting cross legged on her bed, unlit cigarette between her lips. Once the feed is working she tucks the cigarette behind her ear and grins.]

I have spent for-fucking-ever over in that stupid game room they set up over there playing those games. They are so boring and I am so good at them now that I never want to play one again, but it was totally worth it because-

[She reaches off-screen for something, then frowns, clearly not finding it.]

Hey where did you...come back here you little shit!

[This last part is muffled a bit as she goes crawling out of sight, the camera feed bouncing. When she returns a few seconds later, there is a squirming ball of fur between her hands, and Chloe is smiling one of the more genuine smiles she's had in months.]

[She lifts her hands up and the tiny creature she's holding finally stops squirming...and settles in to reveal a blue kitten with streaks of purple fur, looking so unhappy as she hangs there from her hands. She's maybe ten weeks old.]

Tadaa!

[Chloe sets the cat down on her lap, scritching her, and the kitten seems comfortable enough to not go running away for a second, at least.]

Haven't named her yet, but I sure wasn't gonna leave her wherever the hell they were storing her with the other prizes. I mean, they pack us in like sardines already right? What if she was sitting in a cage in a back room or something.

[Chloe was clearly more of a softie than her attitude would imply.]

Anyway, just totally showin' off my fancy alien kitten. Feel free to be jealous. [Chloe snickers.] Tourist peeps, she keeps finding ways to sneak out of my room so if you see her running around don't scare her or anything alright? Just...pick her up and I'll come get her. She doesn't bite hard.

[Action for the tourist]

[And Chloe can indeed be found chasing a kitten around the ship on several occasions. Also there's a litter box in the bathroom now? And some food from the Marvisa's pet room in the kitchen. Yeah...the ship has a cat now. Oops.]

-one-

[notanoptimist]

Who: Leonard McCoy and ota
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: on the Marsiva
When: Oct 29, morning

[McCoy has a blanket wrapped around his shoulders when the broadcast flips on; he's still cold, by God, and he's not above looking a bit silly in an effort to warm up. There's unoffensive music playing in the background and McCoy's eyebrow is fairly twitching in time to it.]

Two questions, for whoever's listening. [He's read everything he can get his hands on, but some things are better from people he can actually question. He holds up his index finger.] Where in the hell are we? I can't make heads or tells of what I'm seein' here.

[He holds up a second finger.] Where can I get a drink? Doesn't have to be good; it just has to burn.

[These are important things to know.]
