🎃 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? ]

[ at some point, she'll be approached by the gentleman in skintight red. ]

If you made that outfit, you're gonna owe me so big for holding out on me.

[ translation: hi opal, I like your costume :) ]

[robitussin]

God, I wish. No, it was a sponsor drop. Nightingale's got one too, wherever she is.

[she looks him over]

Who are you supposed to be?

[winn]

Ah.

[ he nods. well, at least it's a useful drop. ]

Me? I'm the Flash - [ striking a pose ] the fastest man alive. In, his universe. In an infinite multiverse, it does stand to reason that there's someone faster out there - but that kind of ruins the tagline.

[robitussin]

Let's not even start with multiverses. Way too confusing, in my experience.

[anyways.]

How long did it take you to put all this together?

[winn]

Deal.

Ah, a couple weeks.

[ being a speedster for real would have come in real handy, he wouldn't be so dead on his feet right now if he had superpowers. ]

[robitussin]

Dang. Well... It's actually pretty cool. Nice job.

[which for her is high praise]

[winn]

...thanks.

[ it's the second time she gave him 'pretty cool', he might start thinking she likes him, or something! ]

I might be pushing my luck here, but, wanna duet?

[robitussin]

Hm... Depends on what song you pick.

[winn]

What if I let you pick?

[robitussin]

That also depends on whether you have any Rolling Stones on there.

[winn]

Got a couple songs.

[robitussin]

Then I'm pretty sure a karaoke battle is about to go down.

[winn]

You're on -

[robitussin]

You are so going down.

[she wanders over to the machine, before the first few notes start to play]

You know it?

[winn]

It's my musical selection. [ well and cisco's too but they have a lot in common, ok! ] Ladies first -

[robitussin]

Fair enough.

[giving him a smirk as she wanders up to the stage and starts singing. she's actually very good. this is what happens when your canon is a broadway musical, etc etc.

after the first two verses, she stops so he can take his turn.]

[winn]

[ and take it he does. he's pretty good himself - untrained, but a lot of natural ability. considering all the drunk karaoke that must've been going on tonight, they make a pretty great combo. ]

[robitussin]

[and then, once they're both done—]

I totally won.

[winn]

Uh, no, I'm the obvious winner here.

[ he doesn't even care, and he thinks she was fantastic but why let go of an opportunity to squabble? ]

[robitussin]

Wanna ask our girlfriends and see what happens?

[winn]

Why not.

[ he's expecting them to take her side, but gotta fake that confidence!! ]

Lead the way.

1/2

[robitussin]

...Wow, wasn't expecting that to work.

[off she goes, though!]

Nightingaaaale. Tell Winn I beat him at karaoke.

[experiencepoints]

Sorry, it wasn't even close. Opal won by a landslide.

[was she even listening? probably but her answer would be the same no matter what.]

[winn]

Wow, not even pretending to have integrity, bold choice. And before you celebrate there - [ giving opal a look ] we said girlfriends, we get to ask Kitty too.

[experiencepoints]

Don't even pretend that if the positions were reversed you wouldn't be doing the exact same thing.
