Show us your best Tourist Halloween costumes

Who: Touristas & visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: On the Tourist
When: The month of October!

[ Maybe October doesn't really happen in space, but since time is arbitrarily defined anyway, maybe it does. Throughout the month, members aboard the Tourist might notice subtle(ish) decorations going up. A paper garland of candied apples here, some adorable paper Jack-O-Lanterns there... The ship was destined to be a Pinterest board the moment Kara was brought on it. Sorry not sorry. ]

I like this plan. [You had her at dancing.] Tell me more about the things we're making for it. [The better to help you with, my dear.]

[winn]

We need decorations, and some things to pop out at the haunted house - holograms are great but if nothing's real it's not gonna be any fun. So I'm trying to make some mechanisms to make things jump out at people right now.

[passingthrough]

I could just jump out of walls at people. [Kidding. She's good with building mechanisms. Totally on that. Less on the arts and crafts part.] Where are we hosting this haunted house?

[winn]

And who am I gonna dance with?

[ besides, that would actually be legitimately scary. ]

We're still working on that.

[passingthrough]

Good point. All the dancing then.

The Iskaulit? [She knows he's been going there more and more. Is he really comfortable? And what if Sascha wants to come to this party?]

[winn]

Well, yeah, of course - we're gonna use the lecture hall question is where to put the haunted house - I guess we can use an empty room or maybe extend to the hallway...

[ he will deal. there are lots of people around, and he'll make sure not to be left alone with him. ]

[passingthrough]

[Good. She doesn't want Winn uncomfortable at his own thing, but she doesn't want to see Sascha left out and basically this is the theme of everything lately where those two are concerned. It's getting better. Just slowly which she understands. It's just hard for Sascha too. And hard for her to see either or both of them hurting.]

Gotcha. Might be easier to work out in an empty room.

[winn]

[ he's been trying his hardest - he even went with kara to deliver him one of the bears he got, made it an eyepatch and everything. it's just that his hardest isn't going to so easily be enough. he's mostly recovered, but it was still a serious trauma. ]

Yeah, once we see what we can manage in terms of building we can decide where to put it up.

[ they have limited time and they don't want it to look lame. if they can only put together a few things, it's not gonna look impressive in a big room. ]

[passingthrough]

[Small open room? Okay, she's fine with keeping it loose. Not her zoo. Not her monkeys.] How do you feel about exploding heads?

[winn]

As long as they don't look realistic - we don't wanna be too scary or gory.

[passingthrough]

Like confetti poppers? [Smiling.]

[winn]

That'll only work a couple rounds though, unless we keep closing to clean up and reload...

[passingthrough]

First come, first serve. Not everyone can expect head-popping glory.

[winn]

"The early bird gets the exploding head" has a much better ring to it, who wants a worm anyway?

[passingthrough]

Exactly! You get me, Winn. You really get me.

[winn]

[ she gets a kiss at that. ]

[passingthrough]

[She approves of how this works! She kisses back warmly.]

[winn]

[ he knew she would. you know how? because he gets her. ]

Mm - maybe we can figure out some sort of reloading mechanism - [ sorry kitty, nerd mode is activated. ]

[passingthrough]

You're not going to be satisfied until everyone gets an exploding head, are you? [She nuzzles her nose against his.] Leave it to me.

[winn]

Everyone has the equal right to enjoy an exploding head.

[ he nods, super seriously.

no really, it's important to him that everyone has a good time. they don't have equal powers, equal understanding of technology, equal amounts of loved ones from home to provide them comfort. but everyone who chooses to walk into that haunted house or that party is going to get to experience the same conditions if it kills him, dammit! (ok that's going too far, he's not going to die for a holiday but you get the drift). ]

I'm counting on you.

[passingthrough]

I got this. I won't let you down. [This is why she has to be careful about her random ideas! Look at them now! The morale of the fleet rests on her shoulders!]

[winn]

You never do.

[ he kisses her cheek and ok - backs off to get to work because there really is a lot to get through. ]
