🎃 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? ]

[ She laughs softly. ]

Perhaps not. What about "realistic"? Though I must say, I've never seen some of these creatures before.

I have once, but they were not real then, either. I begin to wonder if such a thing exists in truth at all...

If they're supposed to be frightening, it might be better that way.

Why would that be?

The stories about them-- whether they're real or not-- are meant to be scary. If they truly don't exist, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Ah, I mistook your meaning... It is quite true. That which exists is always more frightening than mere stories.

Though, real or not, I do not understand why these are meant to be frightening.

I'm having a little difficulty too. I don't know why the men in face paint are "scary." I think Winn and Cisco are from Earth, so it must be a cultural difference.

I agree! Scarecrows and the... strange women as well.

[What she thinks of as a witch and what they think of as witches may not match up.]

But I am glad there is naught truly frightening here. Monsters would make for a poor party.

That's true. It's nice to see everyone enjoying themselves without any ill-intent. My understanding of the holiday is incomplete, but I believe some people will play pranks as part of their celebration.

I see...

[She tilts her head, thinking, tail swishing back and forth (and going through another ghost, but she doesn't even seem to have noticed.)]

As long as they are not mean-spirited, that is probably all right, then? I confess, I do not understand this either.
