🎃 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? ]

[And Clay smiles back, leaning his head in again, though not quite touching Allen's. He's just feeling cozy in the closeness right now.]

I'm glad, too. I'm having a good time.

[It's not really his thing, but he got to be something different for Halloween and hang out with his friends. And also:]

And seeing you this happy is always worth it.
save_the_souls: (eheheh yeah I sorta...stabbed a guy)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-01 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He wrinkles his nose in amusement, his grin still on his face]

Ah, you make it sound like I'm not this happy often.

[He's teasing, of course]

Though, speaking of unhappy people- I met Apollo!
geonomy: (☆ everything that kills me)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-01 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you did?

[He leans his head back once more, eyes alight with interest]

Soooo how did it go?

[... And while he'd like to keep holding onto Allen's shoulder, he can't help pulling his hand back to rub at his nose a bit before returning it to its position. Welp. There goes some of that paint.]
save_the_souls: (can't make up your mind)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-01 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh- that poor make up. Allen opens his mouth to stop him, but it's clearly too late. He tried. ]

Um...well...

[how to say it]

I think he was...pretty thrown by my job.
geonomy: (☆ said no more counting dollars)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-01 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, he seems to realize the mistake he made, if the little wince says anything after he rubbed his nose. HE TRIED... but he's not sure he could avoid the telltale itch of his own nerves.

Regardless, his brow raises at that.]


Thrown how? [By the tone of his voice, he seems like he already knows how. But might as well get clarification.]
save_the_souls: (FUCKING BUBBLES)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-01 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, mostly he seemed really stuck on the idea that such a job could exist. And that demons were real. Like he was really adamant on that not being normal, and that he didn't get how I could be calm about my own...job?
geonomy: (☆ without question without doubt)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-01 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah... I was kind of afraid that might happen. Sorry about that.

[He steps a bit out of place now that his concentration's off, and he hurries a bit to catch up. Anyway...]

As an astronaut, I try to think of worlds outside of my own, especially when I came here. I was weirded out too, but I just kept thinking... what if something I find normal in my world isn't like that in someone else's? What if what's weird to me is normal to them? Even growing up in a different country, you're exposed to an entirely different culture, a way of living that you can't even imagine back at home. So a whole entire world in a different universe? Of course everything's going to be outside of our scope of what's reality and what isn't. Demons don't exist in my world, but they're an everyday thing for you.

[... Right, he rambled a bit there.]

Apollo's kind of the opposite. He doesn't really understand when things are outside of his scope. Just... give him some time, I guess. Let him see what everyone's like here.

save_the_souls: (it's chill)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-01 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He listens to the explanation, smiling as Clay finishes up]

I see. It's alright, really. People being weirded out by my job isn't a new thing. At least he didn't try to tell me that I was some figment of his imagination made up during a coma. I've gotten that line a few times.
geonomy: (☆ in my face is flashing signs)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-01 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously?

[People would actually say that to Allen's face? Clay looks a bit appalled by that, offended for Allen's sake, before he gives a snort, then leans in with a teasing half smile.]

Well, if you're a figment of my imagination, then I never want to stop imagining you.
save_the_souls: (whatever man)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-01 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles.] Ah. You charmer.

[Though at least he doesn't doubt what Clay means. Honestly, at this point he's pretty sure the only difference between him and the Allen of Clay's fantasies is that one can spout off space facts more readily]

Also, strangest thing. Apollo seemed quite convinced it was my scar that you found attractive.
geonomy: (☆ there's a longing in the sound)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-01 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[Well, he does find every part of Allen attractive, but the scar specifically?]

What made him jump to the scar?

[Pollo do you think Clay has a scar fetish or]
save_the_souls: (whateeevs)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-01 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The star, I think.

[Maybe a space-scar fetish idk]
geonomy: (☆ i'm in love)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-01 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[Okay, that makes more sense. But still!]

Well, while I think it's cool for a scar, it's not what made me attracted to you.
save_the_souls: (politely ask not to kill us)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-02 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ha, I figured. He was just very insistent.

I think he was just trying to compile evidence so everything would make sense to him. He kept grilling me about what I found attractive about you.
geonomy: (☆ i see this life - like a swinging vine)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-02 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like him. The compiling evidence thing... He's a lawyer through and through.

[He seems a little less nervous now that Allen doesn't seem irritated or disapproving, so he gives a grin and raises his brow.]

So what did you say?
save_the_souls: (Crowley- chilling with the uncle)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-02 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it seems so! Well, as long as he's not planning to take me to court over it.

[Because he rather not go to trial okay. That seems bad.]

What did I say? Well, let's see...your smile, your eyes, your looks, your energy, your charm...it was really hard to pick just one.
geonomy: (☆ i feel something so wrong)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-02 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[... Ah, well... Clay was kind of just expecting one or two things, but all of those? He blinks, then glances away, and though his paint hides his blush, his expression makes it pretty clear it's still there. Shy, yet pleased.]

Uh... wow. That's... cool.

[Smooth]
save_the_souls: (Lets go Tim)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-02 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles. Even if the paint blocks the redness, he knows that expression quite well]

What can I say? You made a strong impression.
geonomy: (☆ so bright)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-02 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
I did try to make a good one!

[The song ends after that, and Clay relaxes his stance. But he'll let Allen decide whether to stop or to keep going.]

I was pretty nervous back then... I was so sure I made a bad impression.
save_the_souls: (you can come with me)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-02 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh don't worry. You made a very good one.

[As the song ends, he glances up at where the music is coming from. Sure enough, there looks to be some people with a few drinks revving up for some karaoke]

Hey...ready to get out of here?
geonomy: (☆ sink in the river)

[personal profile] geonomy 2016-11-02 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He wasn't so sure at the time, what with him being nervous and the botched kiss and all. Still, it was good enough for a second date, and many more after that! So in the end, it had to be good.

But now that there's people going to the karaoke machine, Clay glances at them, then back at Allen, his smile widening as he holds one of Allen's hands in his own.]


Ready to blast off!
save_the_souls: (well then)

[personal profile] save_the_souls 2016-11-02 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles as he squeezes his hand, starting to tug him away from the dance floor and towards the coatroom and door, where Allen has probably smuggled away his stuff and let's face it, a good number of party treats]

Let's go then.
