driftfleet | 🎃 HALLOWEEN MINGLE 🎃

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 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!

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.

Okay, okay fair. But still, I'm not sure I can say I expected someone to dress up as Supergirl for Halloween here.

Hank is Superman. It made sense.

[ Her body flickers blue for a moment and then Kara's face is staring back at her - only for a second, and then Raven turns back. ]

At least I didn't go all the way?

[ she looks unsettled at the transformation but is trying to keep a jovial mood ]

Yes, thanks for that. One Bizarro in the multiverse is good enough.

He's Superman? I'll have to find him and see his costume. See how it stacks up!

Don't worry, I'm tired of looking like other people.

[ All she does is smile, leaning against the bar again. ]

But... I had no hand in his, so don't blame me.

Whose bright idea was it?

It must be either Cisco or Winn. Who else would get him to do it?

Oh, true. And then Hank convinced you?

You do know me and Superman are cousins, right?

I wanted to match him. [ She shrugs. ] I know you two are cousins, but - they're just costumes for us. I don't think anyone's going to think we're related.

I'm just teasing, anyway. I definitely don't get half these costumes. I think you're in the clear.

Are you having a good time?

It was either this or come as myself, and I was not prepared to have dozens of people ask me how I did my 'makeup'.

[ At least she's smiling, though. ]

I am, even if I feel a little too old.
