driftfleet | 🎃 HALLOWEEN MINGLE 🎃

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? ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Your local bartender seems to have picked up a costume that's half witch and half barwench, juggling orders as fast as she can and bopping along to the music while she works. Sometimes she's on the customer side or by the snack tables to take a break while Sam helps out, but for once Nami feels less like mingling and more like working for reasons she's not gonna bring to the party. Why spoil anyone's mood, least of all hers?

That's it, that's the tag. Soda is free, so anyone can have as much alien not!coke as they like, and alcohol comes in at slightly reduced prices from its normal fare. Help keep a girl busy and get drinking.]

Cherie, ya look stunnin' tonight. [Remy commented as he moved to lean against the other side of the bar, a flash of fake fangs within his smile as he was dressed up as a certain Hellsing vampire for the night. That was quite a dress she had on.] Not to say ya ain't normally a sight to see.

Of course not. [She grins shamelessly, sliding another order down the bar to a customer.] I've been called a witch often enough, I thought I might as well embrace it for once. I see you've exchanged one fabulous coat for another.

Ahh, for shame such people would think to call ya that, [Remy playfully tsked before letting her own flattering comments strike home.] Well thank ya, that be mighty kind of ya. [A grin and a step back to offer a bow to go along with it.] What can I say? 'm a sucker for a lot of pockets.

Hey, pockets are useful. Especially hidden ones. [She props her chin on her hands, leaning on the bar.] Can I get you anything or are you just here to socialise? Not that I'll complain either way.

M' usual, if ya don't mind. [After all, it wasn't like he didn't drink while working for Nami. A glass or two helped the cooking experience, so he was well use to helping himself or having her make him up a drink while on the clock.] Though I certainly came over for both options.

Ya ain't plannin' on stayin' stuck behind the bar all night, I hope. Got to stretch ya legs 'nd have some fun.

[We're all just a bar's worth of working alcoholics. S'all good. She slides the drink over a minute later, grinning.]

Sam's here as well to spell me when I need it, so yeah. I get my time to enjoy the party. Though I've got a pretty good view of the stage right here.

[She's looking forward to hearing certain people sing.]

Ah yeah, got karaoke to come, non? That goin' to be 'nterestin', dependin' who's been drinkin' 'nd how much. [In fact, it was very tempting to try and persuade a few to sing who wouldn't normally.] Plannin' to take to the stage yaself?

Nope. I know my strengths. And I know the audience has cameras.

[Grin.] I might film it for later amusement, though.

Oh yeah? Use them as blackmail for those who haven't been payin' their tabs? [A wide grin to show he was joking... mostly.] It's a smart idea, stayin' clear of it, otherwise might end up as part of a singin' montage for our mystery audience out there. Be the star of late night replays.

See, that was exactly my thought. Which would be okay if I was as good a singer as I was in other areas. [Ratings, man.] But as it is, I'll just run bar and be happy.

Aww, don't tell me ya goin' to hide behind there all night. Need to at least get out for a dance or two, provided ya would be ok with a certain Cajun askin' ya to. [A dazzling smile, possibly playing it up a bit too much to push it towards the edges of joking, keeping it all light and playful.]

See, dancing is something else entirely! Especially if my partner is good looking. I'm sure you'd pass.

[Grin.]

Ah, so kind of ya to offer such charity to this homme. [A wink was sent her way over his glasses as Remy took a large sip from his drink.] Want me to give ya a bit of time to get sorted here 'nd steal ya 'way later in the evenin', or think ya can sneak 'way now?

I bet I can steal away now. Lemme just check.

[She'll wave to catch Sam's attention, and doesn't so much exchange words as point out to the floor and waggle her fingers. Then a moment later she's vaulting across the bar, one hand on the brim of her hat to keep it steady.]

Dancing it is.

[There was a grin from Remy at her rather masterful jump over the bar, half tempted to applaud her actions but instead taking the moment to quickly drain his drink. No point putting it to waste. Leaving it on the bar top, he offered a hand for Nani to take.] Gotta love a girl who's eager.

[You should see her parkour her way through a hurricane sometime.]

Or a girl who just wants to stretch her legs. Besides, I should get you while you're not being swamped with other offers.

[Maybe another time, but, you know, without the natural disaster side of it all. Remy knew hurricanes well, it came with living in New Orleans, and he knew what kind of damage they could do.] Ah, was goin' to say ya wound me, cherie, but ya manage to sooth m' ego with that end bit. Too kind of ya. [It was delivered with a smile and an arm offered to her.]

[She just flashes a grin at that and takes his arm.]

Well, you can pay me back by being an amazing dance partner.

[Again.]

I'll try 'm best to live up to those expectations then. [Remy made sure to throw on his 'charming' smile with that comment, playing it up so it became a joke between them rather than actually trying to seriously flirt with her.]
