🎃 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? ]

[Well, a very oddly-dressed woman has been watching Cisco and Hermione for a while. She's not sure how to feel about this, but once she gets a chance to talk to Cisco alone, she's going to approach.]

Why, hello there, sir. You seem to be very close with Hermione!

[benames]

hi - whoa -

[ there is a moment when he stares at her before reaching back to adjust his bow and plastic arrows. he forgot how Halloween usually meant seeing more of girls that usual. ]

Yeah?

[ he eyes her before going for a little wave ]

Cisco Ramon. No one called me sir since - ever.

[castrationfist]

Well, I have to be at least this polite. You're on a date with my dear Partner, after all!

[She bows politely in return to his wave.]

I go by Caster. It's an honor to meet someone Hermione holds in such high esteem!

[benames]

--- Your what now?

[ that sounds 120 different shades of weird. ]

Uh - hey. Likewise?

[castrationfist]

Likewise? Ah, have you heard about me?

[what could possibly be weird about this, gosh]

[benames]

Uh, definitely not.

[ it's mostly stunned-honest than rude. he tries not to stare at her. ]

run the whole uh, partner thing by me again?

[castrationfist]

Eh, you don't even know that much? How disappointing... Well, whatever. You can think of me as the beautiful, awe-inspiring goddess who has Hermione's happiness as her goal.

[benames]

--- How about the weird lady who uses weird words to describe what I hope is a semi-functional friendship? is it a semi-functional friendship?

[ halp ]

[castrationfist]

It's more than semi-! Don't be rude.

[.... well, it's something, anyway.]

And how can you call such a cute girl weird? How cruel!

[benames]

No, girl, you're weird.

[ just embrace it ]

I mean not creepy weird, I think - but weird.

[castrationfist]

[She is never going to admit it. But she absolutely is weird.]

Geeehhhh, how rude! Beautiful people aren't ever 'weird', we're at most 'eccentric', you know!

[benames]

Girl, I knew gorgeous people who were super weird.

[ preach it. ]

You just gotta embrace it, you know.

[castrationfist]

Absolutely not. Anyway, aren't you supposed to be a little more in awe when you're talking to a goddess? People have been smote for less!

[benames]

I knew a girl who was an Egyptian Priestess who grew wings and could knock out this entire hall in less than five minutes, my best friend runs faster than the speed of sound.

[ line face. ]

As Shania Twain once said, that don't impress me much.

[castrationfist]

This entire hall save for me, perhaps.

[She huffs.]

Well, you have guts, I'll at least give you that much.

[benames]

I'm the tech team of superhero, guts is what we run on.

[ hmph. ]

[castrationfist]

Hm... Superheroes, are you? I'd like to hear more about that!

[benames]

Superhero tech team.

[ he corrects her. For all that he is the Vibe, he is hardly a superhero in his own eyes. ]

The voice in their ear, the one who builds their toys and equipment, the one who always Ciscos a solution to a certain area of problems.

[castrationfist]

The swordsmith who makes the heroes' weapons becomes a part of the heroic legend themselves, you know. But if you say so... What is this superhero team of yours like?

[benames]

We're the team of a superhero called the Flash, the fastest man alive. We're there to be the voice in his ear, tell him what needs to be done and solve any problems that may come with the whole fighting the bad guy, saving the city thing.

[ and he is damn proud of it. some people might think he wants to be a superhero himself but in truth, cisco is happy with his job, content with helping barry instead of being out there himself. ]

[castrationfist]

"Fastest man alive"? Now that is quite a claim. Is he really all that?

[She seems very interested, but there's definitely something she's not saying here.]

[benames]

Yep.

[ with full confidence. ]

faster than the speed of sound, fast enough to rip through time and space. fastest man alive, at least on our earth.

[castrationfist]

... Well, I can't move quite that fast, but... Fast enough to go through time? Surely you exaggerate. Even the famed Achilles wasn't that fast.
