🎃 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? ]

[ with the music playing, and his attention focused on the repair he needs to make, winn doesn't notice his approach until he's addressed - which makes him jump lightly and turn to the stranger with a smile. ]

Uh - yeah, yeah, I mean - me and Cisco, and Kitty, and we had some friends pitch in here and there, but mostly, yeah. Pretty cool, right?

[poked_heart]

Damn.

[God it looks better than the funhouse back in Limbo City, and that was supposedly built by professionals.]

You made all this on these ships? Where did you get all this stuff?

[winn]

[ they are professionals! well, cisco is, and winn has an engineering augment, and a lot of random, unexplained skills and knowledge. ]

We've been picking up anything that looked potentially useful on planets as we went along. [ he's totally loving the admiration here. he and cisco made a lot of cool stuff here but this one's special, in effort, scope, and appreciation received. ]

[poked_heart]

[Then clearly they need to give an educational smackdown to those amateurs in Limbo City.]

So you've been planning this for awhile? Or was it like "hey we hoarded all this shit, let's make a haunted house out of it"?

[winn]

More like - "hey you know what would be cool? A haunted house! Hey, and we can use all the stuff we've hoarded!"

[ they would be happy to, they're both pretty insufferable showoffs at times. ]

[poked_heart]

What a happy coincidence.

[Despite his droll tone, he's still smiling.]

You build other stuff here, too?

[winn]

Yeah, all the time. For example Cisco and I made the karaoke machine, and Cisco and Hank made the ice cream machine.

[poked_heart]

[Impressive on both counts. He's staying the fuck away from the karaoke machine lest he get dragged in. Because then someone will have to get punched and that's not fun to do at a party.]

I owe those two a drink for the ice cream. Best damn thing I've had since I got dumped in this place.
