🎃 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? ]

Unless you got a secret wardrobe, that's gonna have to wait cuz after this party I'm officially [ it's so not official, he didn't clear anything wit jim in fact he just decided it this second. but something tells him jim will be all for this. ] on vacation.

[ and by that he means that unless something comes up and if he isn't disrupted by nightmares - he's sleeping in, playing video games, and working exclusively on fun pointless shit. ]

[passingthrough]

So, we just stay inside naked? Deal! No take backs!

[winn]

[ he snorts at her eagerness. ]

Well, I don't have any orange on, but I still got some green and purple - [ someday he'll get better at training. it has to happen, right? ]

[passingthrough]

I feel like you're trying to get out of naked time.

[winn]

No one with a smidgen of sanity would try to get out of naked time with you.

[passingthrough]

[That actually get a soft blush.] I'm going to start thinking you like me. [She knows he loves her.]

[winn]

Then I've been doing everything very wrong -

[ he loves her a lot. ]

[passingthrough]

Not possible. Feels too right. [She loves him a lot too.]

See any great costumes? Meet anyone new? Dance with anyone better than me?

[winn]

[ tilting his head. ]

Are we avoiding a subject, or working towards reaching one?

[ what's with the sudden third degree? ]

[passingthrough]

Working towards. Just curious. I know no one dances better than me. [She didn't mean for it to sound third degree-y. She thought it was more light hearted, but see how he might not take it that way. Maybe a little surprised he did after all the warm bonding talk though.]

[winn]

[ very sudden change of topic is one of his preferred deflection techniques ok. he's learning a lot from her, she could be picking up one or two of his bad habits. ]

In that case - yeah, yeah, and depends on what you mean by 'better' cuz Hank definitely has great entertainment value -

[passingthrough]

[Being in love with Winn is a great topic. It's always on her mind if not always on her lips. But it's there a lot too.

She laughs.] He does. I managed to get one out of him too.

Nightingale is wearing a dark swan costume from the ballet. I showed her how to do some basic moves.

[winn]

Did she do them? Tell me there's video -

[ another person who's usually so serious, he would love it so much if this party is loosening everyone up. ]

[passingthrough]

Well, yeah, she was the one who wanted me to teach her. I don't just force that on people wearing costumes or someone in a ninja costume might have some real problems. No video unless you ask the Atroma.

[winn]

Hmmn...[ shaking his head ] Tempting, but I haven't exhausted my looking-cute-and-asking-for-a-demo options, yet.

[passingthrough]

You always look cute. Demo is up to her. Unless you want it from me but I feel ridiculous doing ballet in this outfit.

[winn]

Hey, it could work as an adaptation - the Captain America ballet -

[passingthrough]

Stretching. Definitely stretching. I'd need my boots adjusted for sure.

[winn]

I know a guy -

[passingthrough]

You mean Cisco? My usual guy is on vacation after this.

[winn]

By the time you work out your choreography, I'm sure he'll be back. [ if he'll be on vacation for more than a day it'll be amazing who is he kidding. ]

[passingthrough]

I feel like we aren't giving one of us enough credit, but I promise I'm not actually going to compose a ballet based on Steve. I would die of terminal awkward.

[winn]

And we all know that's how I'm gonna go.

[passingthrough]

No going. [Light headbutt.] Not even in pretend.

[winn]

Right - [ he kisses her ] that would mean the awkwardness will have an end, and my awkwardness cannot be stopped.
