🎃 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? ]

Kara | OTA

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Despite some personal discomfort, Kara is dressed as classic Black Canary more out of necessity than any knowledge. (Winn, bless his heart, didn’t quite finish the costume to Cisco’s design direction). At least she has some shorts on?

In spite of her discomfort, she wants to have a good time and she is cheery and also hanging out near the bar, drinking soda and periodically pulling down on the shorts. She smiles whether she knows you or not, but if you’re someone familiar she’ll probably wave excitedly as soon as she spies you!

For karaoke, get ready! Kara is holding out for a hero (sans duet). She seriously has some pipes! After that performance (when it’s fair) she’ll perform wrecking ball as her encore.

She’s not much for the haunted house and she’ll need to be prodded to the dance floor, but it won’t take too much persuading, promise! ]

[winn]

[ she can blame that fix on kitty, who put fishnets in his head. she pulls it off, in his opinion! a little too well. all the ladies look amazing at this party, he can't help but notice.

she gets a very enthusiastic cheer after her solo, complete with jumping up and down and whooo!!-ing. truly, he does the flash name proud. ]

That was awesome we should sign up for a duet!

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she hops down from the area and comes over to him, adjusting her outfit ]

Definitely! Any ideas?

[winn]

[ he takes a little time think it over, passing on awkward choice after awkward choice in his head, before an old secret favorite jumps into his memory. ]

Anything you can do I can do better - [ not quite singing it all the way, but definitely not just saying it. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Parent Trap style?

We could always do Eye of the Tiger.

[ladybro]

[ with a toss of her cape over one shoulder, kate settles next to kara -- by the bar, of course, but without a drink in hand. she offers a sympathetic cluck of her tongue. she may have caught a glimpse of kara pulling at those shorts. ]

You can borrow my cape, if you want. [ ... ] Not that it'll reach that low.

[takingkarabusiness]

Kate!

Thanks, I think I'll live, though. Who are you dressed up as?

[ladybro]

Buy me a drink and I'll tell you all about it. [ kate winks. she's gonna play this hustle as much as she can -- which probably won't be long. it's not a great hustle. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

You got it. What do you want?

[ for her part, kara is sticking to soda ]

[outstandingbalance]

[Looks like Kara has an audience. Natasha showed up somewhere during Holding Out For A Hero, and stayed for Wrecking Ball, watching with some amusement—and a little surprise. She's impressed.

One way Kara is not, in fact, girl Steve Rogers.

Natasha's clapping when she finishes is only, say, 30% teasing.]

Nice.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she smiles when she sees Natasha, and bows theatrically ]

Thank you, thank you. You're going up, right?

[outstandingbalance]

That remains to be seen. For the moment, I think I'm still too sober for that.

[takingkarabusiness]

You have to! We talked about karaoke and everything.

[athru]

[ Raven doesn't bother trying to hide her costume from Kara; the whole point was that she was matching Hank, so she imagines the other woman might have a good idea of what she's wearing anyway. She moves up to stand beside her at the bar, grinning as she rest her elbow against it. ]

You look like you're having fun.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Kara turns to talk to her but gets distracted by Raven's costume ]

Oh! Hey! You're— Did Winn make that for you? You look great. I should probably retire!

[athru]

No, I made this one myself.

[ Raven's lips twitch a little, though, before she shakes her head. ]

Don't get ahead of yourself - I can't fly yet.

[arfvader]

[Ravi is in the audience and making enthusiastic "mind blown" gestures with his hands when he catches her eye and lets out a whoop.]

Bravo! Encore! Whatever other fancy words people use at the opera!

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Kara laughs and blushes and comes over and gives him a high-five! ]

You're just flattering me!

[arfvader]

Who me? I haven't a single insincere bone in my body! Except maybe the very tip of my left pinkie finger, that one was always a troublemaker.

[He grins as he reciprocates the high-five.]

But in all seriousness, that was a brilliant performance! Is there anything you can't do?

[passingthrough]

[Feels like she's being blamed for things in Winn's head when it comes to those fishnets.]

Hey, Kara! [She feels like Winn told her who Kara was going as but looking at the outfit right now she is blanking and all she can think is "dominatrix."] Who are you dressed as again?

[Kitty managed to buck the tradition of sexy Halloween costumes by going as old school Captain America. You'd probably have to be really into flags to find this hot though the skin-tight part helps a little.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Uh, Black Canary, apparently? She's an ally to an ally to the Flash, I guess. I have a bad history with sound-powered people and Winn kind of ran out of time but it's not... too bad?

I love your costume though!

[passingthrough]

Thanks. Winn does good work. [And makes questionable choices.]

I hope her power is knowing when there are harmful gasses in coal mines. [And possibly stopping fish.] But I guess it's sound-related from that comment.

karaoke

[beathach]

[he isn't paying much attention to the karaoke, but when he sees Kara's taking a turn, he does decide to watch. He applauds when she finishes and steps over to greet her, trying not to look too awkward. . . . considering he's dressed up like her cousin]

Is there anything you can't do? That was great.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she smiles and bows theatrically ]

Thank you, thank you. I can't make lo mein the way that House of Noodle makes it? Does that count?

You're looking pretty super. Winn's idea?

[beathach]

That definitely counts. [because he knows how important food is] I'm starting to think everyone from your world can sing.

[he huffs, looking down at himself and trying not to look too amused]

Definitely his idea.
