🎃 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? ]

Gemini -OTA

[stretchy_girl]

Near the bar

[To say that Gemini was sociopathic was an understatement, yet even for her the lure of a Halloween party was irresistible, it was that or stay cooped up on the Bishop or spend time down on the planet.

So there's a reptilian looking woman with surprisingly realistic snakes for hair sitting near the bar. She's mostly keeping to herself, watching the others dance, the drink beside her untouched, the snakes on her head hissing and coiling continuously.]

The Karaoke

[After a time Gemini wanders over to the Karaoke to glance at the list of those who've signed up. Perhaps she might sing using the voice of your favourite singer no less, but you'll have to be very good looking to persuade her into showing off.]

[passingthrough]

[Kitty is wearing her old school Captain America uniform as she heads over to the bar for a refill when she notices a cluster of snakes hissing in her direction.] Well, that is a hell of a short-notice costume. [No, really, what's happening?]

[stretchy_girl]

[Gemini's looking in another direction when Kitty comments, and the twenty or so snakes on her head turn first to look at her, followed by her head proper.]

You like it? [She does a little model style twirl, glad she'd chosen to give herself proper legs rather than the tail this form was supposed to have.]

[passingthrough]

It's a classic. [Not exactly a yes. But Kitty doesn't back down from hissing snakes.] Medusa, right?

[stretchy_girl]

Exactly, good movie too. Who are you supposed to be? [Obviously she's not heard of Cap before.]

[passingthrough]

Captain America. Not a hero where you're from?

[stretchy_girl]

Never heard of him. He actually uses a shield? [She makes a note of the name and costume though, just so that she can give him a warm welcome should she ever meet him.]

[passingthrough]

Shields can be useful. [Though not against either of the women in this conversation.] He was up against a lot of regular guns back then.

[stretchy_girl]

Shields, guns. [She grunts derisively.] If someone needs the first they shouldn't put themselves in the way of the second.

[passingthrough]

You really don't know how heroing works, huh?

[stretchy_girl]

I find that the alternative works much better for me.

[passingthrough]

Alternative, hmm? [Well, that doesn't sound good.] As in?

[stretchy_girl]

[Kitty gets an evil smile in response accompanied by a venomous hiss from her snake-hair.]

Bar

[Now that was an impressive costume, so much so that Remy was sure it had to be power created. A shapeshifter, or telepath or something, or maybe a hexer like Wanda. Either way, it was clearly above most that were at the party.

Trying to figure out if she was playing the wallflower by choice and wanting others to stay away, or just taking some time out between other party activities, Remy dressed as Hellsing style vampire, decided to take the chance as he got himself another drink. Worse that could happen was a no, just depending on what form that no came in.] Tryin' to figure out if that costume of ya's is to try 'nd keep people away, or draw them in.

[stretchy_girl]

[It hadn't taken Gemini long to notice the attention of the, from what she can see absurdely attractive man in flowing clothing and hat. Crossing her legs and giving him a cooly seductive smile as he approached, her hair snakes bobbed up to look at him also, small forked tongues flicking out curiously.]

Which do you think?

[Her voice was a serpentine vaguely Greek purr, an eyebrow lifting challengingly.]

Re: Bar

[cajunspice]

Well, [Remy let that word draw out, a smile accompanying it as he spoke.] It certainly 'caused me to come up 'nd chat, so guess I can only speak for what I think, not others.

Name's Remy. [Oh, that purr to her tone was nice, but hopefully not as dangerous as her hair could turn out to be.]

Re: Bar

[stretchy_girl]

[Were Gemini still human that smile and very sexy cajun voice might have her tummy doing butterflies, but now physically she feels nothing, although she tries not to let that ruin the moment.]

Then maybe it worked as intended. [She answers slyly, patting the stool next to hers in an invitation to sit, the tip of a forked tongue slipping out to lick her lips before she slips into fluent french.]

Parles-tu français Remy? Ou êtes-vous l'un des cajuns qui prétend seulement la connaissance de la langue maternelle?

Bar

[cajunspice]

[Now that wasn't expecting, and it was a very welcome surprise, enough for a real, wide smile to pull at his lips rather than his normal flirting one as Remy took the offered seat. It was always nice to hear another speak French, and so smoothly as well.]

Oh mon chérie, tu as fait sauter le cœur de ce Cajun, en t'entendant parler comme ça, même si les mots derrière lui piquent et me font mal. Pour même suggérer que je fausse une telle chose. [Before his smile turned wicked again and his tone gained a dose of humor to it.] Or I just memorized that 'ncase I ran 'nto anyone that might question my language skills. One of the two options.


[OOC: translated thanks to Google: Oh darling, you made this Cajun's heart skip a beat, hearing you speak like that, even if the words behind it sting and hurt my pride. To even suggest I would fake such a thing.]

Re: Bar

[stretchy_girl]

[There was something in the Cajun's prior smile that was a little too smooth, although Gemini really couldn't say she minded too much, meeting his wicked smile with one of her own, albeit with sharper teeth.]

Je pense que tu fausses ce qui te convient.

[She leaned a little closer, forked tongue slipping out to lick her lips.]

Je ne crois pas avoir pris ton nom?

[*I think you'd fake whatever suited you*. *I don't think I caught your name?*]

[cajunspice]

[They were going to keep going with the French? Ok, Remy could work with that. Hell, it was some good practice he hadn't managed to get in for awhile, bar his use of one or two words here and there in his normal conversations. He doubted he would ever forget the language, but it was always good to put it to work now and then.] Hé, pas tout, ce serait juste insultant pour moi, ou d'autres.

[A grin to match his joke as his gaze flicked down briefly to her lips with that appearance of her tongue, mindful to keep any comments raised by it to himself for now.] Remy LeBeau, et vous seriez?


('Hey, not everything, that would just be insulting to me, or others.' 'Remy LeBeau, and you would be?')

[stretchy_girl]

[It's her mother's native tongue and Gemini rarely gets the chance to speak it, so just being able to converse with Remy gives him serious points. His grin's met with an amused purr, one scaly foot hooking around his.] Je suis heureux de l'entendre. Je détesterais penser que tu es tous des mots et aucune substance.

[In response to his question she gives him a patently false innocent look, almost daring him to call out her following lie.]

Je m'apelle Medusa, n'aves-tu pas entendu parler de moi?

(*I'm glad to hear it, I'd hate to think you were all words and no substance.* *My name's Medusa, haven't you heard of me?*)

[cajunspice]

Oh, je suis encore beaucoup de mots, mais au moins je suis capable de les sauvegarder la moitié du temps. [Remy was well aware of his ego and how much he talked himself up. Never know, one day he may be as good as he claimed to be.

Leaning back against the bar and sliding a little closer at that contact she offered him, Remy raised a brow but also grinned at her choice of name.] C'est ainsi? Tu semblez plus agréable que tes réputation tu donne, puisque je n'ai pas été tourné à la pierre, pourtant.


('Oh, I'm still plenty of words, but at least I'm able to back them up half the time.' 'That so? You seem nicer than your reputation gives you, since I haven't been turned to stone, yet.')

[stretchy_girl]

Seulement la moitié du temps? [She gave a sibilant laugh, teasing him, her green eyes locked on his glasses, trying to see the colour of his.]

Ne me tentez pas. [She smirked, some of her hair-snakes snapping playfully at him, as she extends a very sharp clawed finger to run delicately up his arm. Her scaly skin is cool to the touch, much like the snake she seems to resemble as she leans a little closer.]

('Only half the time?' 'Don't tempt me.')

[cajunspice]

Donner ou prendre. [Remy was all for teasing, provided he got a chance to hand it back just the same. It made things more fun, and helped him gauge how much joking she could take. His eyes did however flick up behind the round glasses to those snapping snakes, hopeful she wouldn't turn them on him... or at least hoping they weren't poisonous. Or didn't aim for his face.]

Moi? Tentant? Jamais. [It was said with a grin and in a tone that said the absolute opposite to his words. His own hand slid up, fingers curving against the bend of her elbow, his own touch warm beyond that of a normal person's.]


('Give or take.' 'Me? Tempting? Never.')

[stretchy_girl]

[Those sharp little teeth would not be going anywhere near Remy's face, Gemini liked it far too much for her to do anything to spoil it. They curl back after a moment as Gemini lent into his touch, surprise sparking on her face at how warm he is.]

Je pense que je devrais être en désaccord Remy. Tu es un menteur terrible, mais vais-je te punir? [Her hand dropped to his thigh, her caress showing exactly what 'punishment' she had in mind.]

('I think I'd have to disagree Remy. You're a terrible liar, however will I punish you?')
