🎃 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? ]

What do you put him through?

[ she laughs ]

You should have seen some of the ideas he had for my superhero outfit at home. They were definitely no-gos.

[universal_charm]

Oh, the usual for self-defense. I want to get him on the obstacle course next. I think this might be pre-revenge, actually.

_{[ He raises another brow and chuckles. ]}

Really? What does the one you wear at home look like then?

[takingkarabusiness]

If you see Raven tonight you'll get a pretty good idea. It's a long sleeve dark blue top with my family crest on the chest. I have a red skirt I wear with shorts underneath, tights, tall red boots, and a red cape.

[universal_charm]

Raven? Well, it sounds distinctive no matter what, so I'm sure I'll see it.

Why a skirt though? And tights? I wouldn't think tights would be at all comfortable to battle bad guys in.

[takingkarabusiness]

I wear shorts underneath the skirt, but it's actually great for mobility. No weird bunching or pants that you constantly have to hike. Dresses are basically the perfect clothes.

[universal_charm]

Well, to be fair, if your pants fit right you shouldn't be having to hike them. But I think I can see your point. This outfit is short, but rather freeing.

_{[ He swivels his hips some. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe if your hip-to-waist ratio is straight.

[universal_charm]

You have Winn, don't you? I'm sure he could make you some specially fitted pants if you wanted them - couture even.

[takingkarabusiness]

I like the skirt. It's cute.

[universal_charm]

And I'm sure you look very cute in it. You know, when I finally see the person who's wearing it tonight.

_{[ He grinned. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

I find it hard to believe you haven't met Hank's girlfriend.

[universal_charm]

I've spoken with Hank a few times, but I wasn't aware he had a girlfriend.

[takingkarabusiness]

They might be actually married. I'm not sure.

[universal_charm]

Well that was fast.

[takingkarabusiness]

There was a timeskip.

[universal_charm]

Oh, one of those things.

_{[ He sighs. ]}

Well, hopefully I get to see him and her tonight.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure you will.

Anyone you're going to ask to dance tonight?

[universal_charm]

_{[ He holds out his hand to her. ]}

May I?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ takes his hand ]

Of course!

[universal_charm]

_{[ That would be him taking Kara's hand then, and sliding his other hand around her waist, spinning her out to the dance floor. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she's a pretty standard dancer, not too special but she very carefully does not step on his feet ]

You dance a lot at home?

[universal_charm]

Depends on what you mean. Formal kind? Not really - just what I learned in the Academy.

But club style? I haven't for awhile now, but back in my Academy days it was a good way to pass a weekend or celebrate after an exam. I'm not to far removed from those days just yet.

_{[ He winked and spun her. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she spins! ]

I like going to clubs sometimes too. It's a fun way to relax!

[universal_charm]

I can't argue there. We have a kind of club on the Enterprise, but I don't go all that often.

_{[ He gives her a look. ]}

We are talking about dance clubs, aren't we?

[takingkarabusiness]

Right. Not club sandwiches.
