🎃 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? ]

That's... weird, but okay. And the faces?

[fuck earth]

You look distracted by something. What's over there?

[She's gonna get closer to Allen to try to figure out where his line of sight is going.]

[save_the_souls]

That's for fun! And spookiness!

[Earth is the best!!]

Ah, nothing! It's just- [ergh] It's just with your costume I'm not sure where to....look and be appropriate.

[experiencepoints]

...

Allen. We're both gay. Does it really matter?

[at least, she thinks he is.]

[save_the_souls]

I'm still a gentleman..!

And- And I've dated girls! [Years and years ago, BUT-!]

[experiencepoints]

You have?





Like, intentionally?

[save_the_souls]

[!?]

Yes!

How do you even unintentionally date a girl?!

[experiencepoints]

... I mean, I went on a date with a guy once, but I didn't know it was a date until after it was over...

[save_the_souls]

...You would do that.

[Nightingale please]

I had a girlfriend, okay.

[experiencepoints]

It was not my fault, okay?!

[she groans.]

Okay. I didn't know. Still, it's not like I'm going to set you on fire for looking, so please don't act all weird about it?

[save_the_souls]

Okay, fine...

[He gulps a little, before looking right at her! Man it sucks that he has to look down to see her maybe he should sit. But no- don't be weird!]

There. Better?

[experiencepoints]

[say that part out loud i fucking dare you]

Better. Was that so hard?

[save_the_souls]

I...suppose not?

[experiencepoints]

Good. Problem solved.

I'm surprised Clay isn't with you, though.

[save_the_souls]

Oh, he's here! He's my date! [Allen that goes without saying] He just went to check something out.

What about Opal? Is she here?

[experiencepoints]

She had better be. If she ditched me in this so she doesn't have to wear hers, then I'm going to have to get revenge.

[save_the_souls]

Er...

Did you two force each other to wear costumes?

[experiencepoints]

Of course not.

[... but the fact that she isn't expanding on that may be a sign that he may not want to know.]

[save_the_souls]

[....Lesbians are scary...]

Ah, right.

So...! What's your costume supposed to be? A ballerina?

[experiencepoints]

[we're not scary, we're just thirsty.]

Ah... It's apparently from a ballet? Opal called it "Swan Lake"?

[save_the_souls]

Oh! That Tchaikovsky ballet?

[HE KNEW THAT REFERENCE]

I've heard of it! Never actually went to see it though.

[experiencepoints]

... You know it?

Is it as depressing as Opal makes it sound?

[save_the_souls]

Sure, it's pretty popular back home.

[He was never into ballet, but it'd get mentioned in the news and by people enough to be memorable. He shrugs]

It's Russian, so probably.

[experiencepoints]

What's 'Russian'?

[earth is weird]

[save_the_souls]

Oh, right. Russia's a country on Earth, the biggest in terms of landmass. It can be pretty cold and harsh there, so their literature tends to be pretty...grim.

[experiencepoints]

... Wouldn't living in a shitty place make people want happier stories?
