🎃 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? ]

Talk's cheap, McCoy -

[ :D ]

[beathach]

Talk nothing, you have proof.

[Winn has seem him act like an idiot before]

[winn]

I don't see any.

[ unless you're about to provide video footage, you're gonna have to backup your idiocy with actions.

winn might be halfway on the road to evil already. ]

[beathach]

I hang out with you all the time. You have to have some proof.

[like he'd give anyone video proof, please, that would end badly for him]

[winn]

Of you being a responsible adult, yup.

[ you know he's gonna follow you around til you dance, right. ]

[beathach]

I spend most of the day teaching teenagers, it's like - a default, to be the responsible one.

[you should go dance with someone who likes dancing, like - half the people here who aren't Hank]

[winn]

[ but he likes hank better than most of them, and the ones he likes as much are busy :c plus it's not as fun. ]

I'm sorry - are you conceding that you designate yourself to be the adult? You hate dancing that much?

[ hank, you're making him so sad. ]

[beathach]

I don't - hate dancing, I just don't know how to do it. Aside from what little I learned all those years—[he pauses, makes a face, and starts again] Aside from what I learned at the masquerade.

[winn]

Dude, that's your mistake right there. There's nothing to know you're not performing here! Just move to the beat - [ he demonstrates by starting to sway. ] and loosen up. [ hands going up, and he's dancing almost as wildly as cisco (he's got a little more shame, and he's really not used to wearing an outfit this tight). ]

[beathach]

[he has no shame left, but he likes to pretend he does. Which is why he just stands there staring]

That's asking a hell of a lot, you know.

[winn]

Come on, Hank, you're too uptight.

[beathach]

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that . . .

[FINE, he's . . . trying . . . it's an attempt at a try]

[winn]

You would have a lot of useless coins.

[ because they use credits here. he smiles encouragingly and claps to the beat. ]

[beathach]

Ha ha. I mean, I'd be rich.

[are you happy he's giving this an attempt Winn gosh]

[winn]

[ the happiest, hank, you made his year! ]

If it'll get you moving some more, I'll donate to the cause -

[ he's got more credits than he's comfortable or knows what to do with. ]

[beathach]

That isn't necessary, thank you.

[don't you dare]

[winn]

[ he laughs ]

Okay, okay I'm done. I'm pretty sure.

[ he's not promising anything when he's drinking. ]

[beathach]

Pretty sure. I don't believe that for a second.

[he's been going easy on the drinking himself. At least for now]

[winn]

[ he's been going easy! it's just that he hasn't slept in days so his tolerance is way off. ]

Wow, just - no faith, nothing. You know, if you set me up to fail, you're not encouraging me to try.

[beathach]

I would never set you up to fail. I just know you're not about to stop just yet.

[winn. Winn what have we said about sleep]

[winn]

[ oh oh he knows that one! it's for losers and he'll get it when he's dead, right? ]

Hey, I can surprise you.

[beathach]

[you know that isn't it god dammit Winn]

I'm not holding my breath.

[winn]

[ well then he's stomped! ]

Good, don't, not making fun of you is going to take a while to prove, and that kind of blue is not a good look on anyone.

[beathach]

I think I have to be offended on principle, considering this shade isn't too far off from my fur.

[winn]

Your fur isn't as dead looking.
