🎃 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? ]

I'm not certain if Isabela would find your outfit amusing or...enticing. I'm sure she'd have a comment if she were here.

[He knows the two had crossed paths a while back, he and Isabela had talked about it more than once and it was all he could think of when he saw Riona's outfit.]

I think you look good in it, personally. If you're ever bored with the life of royalty, I'm sure you could make a good life on the sea.

[For his part, Anders' familiar outfit is his costume of choice for the evening. Along with a pair of cat ears perched on top of his head, courtesy of his troublesome other half.]

[With drinks for all three of them, Adalwolfe slips up beside them to deliver his bounty as Anders contemplates Riona's costume. Hope you like sweet cherry flavoring, Commander, because he figured you'd go for that.

For his part, Adalwolfe is in a red dragon onesie but since it's gotten far too hot after his stint out on the dance floor, he's unbuttoned it to the waist and has the top half with the arms tied around his hips, leaving him bare from there up. The thing is made of fleece, after all. When he slides into his own seat, he has to make sure to swing the tail out of the way so no one steps on it.]


I think it looks good too! Though Isabela would say too much pants, I think.

Why thank you. I-

[Isabela. Riona freezes mid-sip, eyes wide at the mention of the pirate's name.]

You two know Isabela?
apurrstate: (Smirk)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-11-03 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[The smirk slowly spreading over Anders' face was far more devilish than playful. Oh, he knew Isabela well enough. All she'd said to him was 'they'd met in Denerim and gotten to know each other before offering to teach what she knew about dueling.' Getting to know Isabela really only happened one of two ways and one night wasn't enough time for one of the ways...but it was perfect for the other.]

She was in Kirkwall a while. She was a friend.
wolfehawke: (Pulling my leg)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-11-03 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Fairly close until some business called her away, but I trust her enough to look after my brother.

[Adalwolfe's thoughts are clearly mirroring Anders on the nature of Riona's relationship with Isabela. Despite her costume, Wolfe knows the queen isn't much of the seafaring type, and so...]

She was awfully chatty on Wicked Grace nights. Did you know she slept with Anders?

[He innocently goes for his mug, just waiting for his two-for-one looks of appallment.]
bryces_pup: (170)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-03 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[If this were an anime, Riona would totally have a sweat drop running down the back of her head right now. Swallowing her embarrassment, she nods and tries to pass it off as nothing.]

She's quite charming.

[Then Adalwolfe throws her a life saver. Immediately her brow wings up as she spins towards Anders, now wearing a grin to match his. Good, now they can talk about this rather than her own escapades.]

Oooooh? Did you succumb to her wily charms?
apurrstate: (Watching)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-11-04 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is a look of utter betrayal on Anders' face when Hawke throws him to the wolves too. This was supposed to be them ganging up on Riona together! Instead, it's back on him and he knows just how to make Hawke pay for it and get what he was after from his friend.]

I didn't 'succumb' so much as waltz into them willingly. It was a fun couple of days in the Pearl. It's amazing what that woman can do with her thighs.

[Not a shred of blush or shame or hesitation.]

The real question here, my dear Commander, is: did you? She can be quite convincing.
wolfehawke: (Speechless)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-11-05 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well obviously, you saw how big her eyes got when we brought her up.

[He pauses for a moment, a thought occurring that tugs his wily grin down into a small frown.]

Wait, both of you know what Isabela can do with her thighs first hand?
bryces_pup: (63)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-06 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh yes, she remembers those thighs. And those fingers. And that wonderful tongue of hers.]

I - beg your pardon, I never said that!

[Haughty noble lady mode: activated.]

Remember that I was very happily in love with someone by the time I met her.

[DEFLECT DEFLECT DEFLECT]
apurrstate: (Thankful | Smile)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-11-07 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He shoots a little smirk to Hawke.]

You missed out, love. I'm sure Isabela would have been willing to join in.

[But then that look is right back on Riona.]

I'm afraid you're protesting a bit too loudly to be believed, Commander.

[And then a thought occurs to him that turns his expression truly sinful. Oh, if he was wrong, he was going to get it...but he had the distinct feeling he wasn't.]

You know, you are right, of course, you were happily in love with someone. King Alistair would do just about anything for you...and Isabela is rather charming...maybe he 'joined in' as well?
wolfehawke: (it can't be)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-11-07 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Bloody King Alistair got in on it too?!

[He looks affronted. Scandalized even. But not for the reason you'd think.

Adalwolfe near slams his mug down on the table.]


Then why in the name of Andraste's sanctified toenails not me?!
bryces_pup: (113)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-07 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[You know.

If this were just about any other situation, Riona would appreciate that she's seeing shades of pre-Justice Anders again. Unfortunately, right now? That completely misses her.

Her face turns bright red as her mouth drops, completely floored that he managed to guess that. Granted, she brought Alistair into it in the first place, but as a means of deflection and throwing Anders off, not to hint at what actually happened. ]


You - but I, we-

[The alcohol doesn't help, but let's face it, she's past the point of lying her way out of this.

Maker help her.]


We were very, very, very drunk. [She hangs her head in her hands.] We met her at a brothel - and no, we were not looking for prostitutes, we were investigating an incident - and she cajoled us into a game of Wicked Grace. And it... went... from... there.

[Where is the nearest hole so she can crawl in it and hide???]
apurrstate: (Happy)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-11-14 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Anders grins. He definitely won this one with Riona turning interesting shades and Adalwolfe beside himself with indignity. He couldn't help but feel a touch smug.]

Ah, yes, that does make sense. Isabela has this way of constantly controlling a situation. I'm afraid you likely didn't stand a chance, my friend.

[He raises a brow at Hawke.]

As for you, I don't know what stopped you, it wasn't like she wasn't interested. I guess you're simply unlucky, that does seem the way of things with you, love.

[Smug, smug, smug.]
wolfehawke: (Anders no)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-11-15 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
You did.

[He's actually a little bit affronted. He knows he shouldn't be, not really. Maybe it's the alcohol or the way Anders is so glib about the whole thing or how if he'd known at the time Anders really wouldn't have minded he would have had possibly the second best sex in his life with a Rivaini pirate and it could have been in Varric's book to answer questions about instead of more intrusive and probing inquiries about whether Anders lights up the bedroom like a beacon when he peaks.

Yes that's an actual question some idiot in a tavern asked him once.]


I'd only just convinced you we would be a good idea, I wasn't going to mess it up. Though apparently it wouldn't have.

[He drinks the rest of his mug blithely.]
bryces_pup: (71)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-16 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Any of you repeat what I've told you, and I'll end you.

[Despite her embarrassment, there's a bit of genuine threat in her voice. The last thing she needs is the whole Thedas gang knowing she threesome-d a pirate.]

Honestly, Adalwolfe. So you missed out on some sex. She's good, but it's not like you're going to die an incomplete man for missing out.
apurrstate: (You give me a headache)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-11-22 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. He wasn't expecting that answer and now he feels a bit of an ass for pushing it. Hawke can probably see how it takes the wind right out of Anders' sails, but he deflects and focuses on what Riona says instead.]

As amusing as I find the knowledge, I swear on my cat, I won't be spreading it around.

And she's right, love. Your life is not lesser for missing out on sex with Isabela. Honestly, most of Kirkwall had that shot, you should feel special for having not fallen into her bed.
wolfehawke: (Pouty)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-11-22 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, special. Sure.

[Nope, he feels left out and it's going to bother him forever until he finds another Thedosian that didn't sleep with her.

He gets up with a small sigh, seemingly letting it go save for a small pout.]


I'm going to refresh my drink. Do you two need a refill?
bryces_pup: (77)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-22 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Anders. Your commander's a private person, most of the time. Especially about the things that embarrass her. Appearances to keep and all.]

The most solemn of oaths, coming from you. [She offers a little smile.]

If you are offering, then yes please. I... could use another.
apurrstate: (With Varric)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-11-22 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles a bit back.]

You should know I mean it with every fiber of my being.

[He glances to Hawke, knowing for a fact why he's moodily running off.]

No thank you, love. [They didn't need a repeat of the last time Anders drank too much.]
wolfehawke: (boohoo)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-11-22 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, two then. Anders apparently likes being left out.

[He knows it's a stupid sullen thing to say but it's out of his mouth now, even if it's got a grimace on its heels. He's probably sleeping in the cargo bay tonight, or at least on the floor. Hopefully Drools will join him, at least for warmth.

He retreats to the bar for more drinks. If the tail dragging behind him off of the dragon costume could be between his legs, it would be.]
bryces_pup: (76)

[personal profile] bryces_pup 2016-11-23 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Riona just... shakes her head as Adalwolfe shuffles off.]

My goodness. Is he always this surly when he feels left out or something?
apurrstate: (Slightly Amused)

[personal profile] apurrstate 2016-11-30 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes. He doesn't like being left out of things he doesn't leave himself out of. I suppose you could consider it childish, but I inexplicably find it charming.

[He inexplicably found Hawke charming from the moment they'd met, he supposed that was what doomed him.]

He'll get over it.

[Or he'd make Hawke get over it later...whichever happened first.]
