🎃 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? ]

[beathach]

I think I have to be offended on principle, considering this shade isn't too far off from my fur.

[winn]

Your fur isn't as dead looking.

[beathach]

Well, I'd hope not. I take care of it.

[winn]

Oh yeah, do you have like a special shampoo?

[ okay the mental image of hank brushing his fur is hilarious sorry bro. ]

[beathach]

Er, no. I just keep it clean, mostly.

[he has to okay he sheds sometimes]

[winn]

[ oh, the urge to make a l'oréal joke, it is rising. ]

Oh Hank, there's keeping it clean, and then there's L'Oréal - [ a hand goes on his shoulder, and he leans in a little closer to whisper ] you're worth it.

[ he's weak and buzzed and sleep deprived, you knew he was going to fail. ]

[beathach]

[see this is why he didn't believe you. Unfortunately this joke flies right over his head]

Is - that the tag line or something?

[winn]

...yes. Yes it is.

[ sigh, hank, catch up with 2016 references already gosh!

where's cisco when he needs him. ]

[beathach]

[he's got three-three years before that happens!!]

Oh.

[winn]

[ excuses!! whatever, he'll resume the wild dancing. ]

[beathach]

[they're legit excuses!! He continues his awkward dancing as well, at least until the song ends. And then it's his turn to drag Winn somewhere - off the dance floor]

[winn]

[ wow hank, such a spoilsport. fine, fine, he'll follow along like a good boy. there better be something fun where you're taking him! ]

[beathach]

[listen, sometimes he plays up the responsible adult role, and other times he's actually the responsible adult. Like now, when he drags Winn over to the bar and puts some water in his hand]

[winn]

[ looking at hank.

looking at the water.

looking at hank.

really? this isn't fun. :/ ]

[beathach]

[he rolls his eyes with a smile]

How many drinks have you had? Humor me and I'll dance more.

[he's resorting to bribery]

[winn]

Not nearly enough to forget you said that.

[ here, see, he's drinking the water! your turn!

(bribery is very effective on this one) ]

[beathach]

Oh I'm sorry, is looking out for someone too serious for you?

[he says, and then turns to order a beer.

Look he'll do this okay, he's doing the party thing]

[winn]

[ he throws his arms around him in an exaggerated hug - is it the alcohol, or just winn? ]

Maybe, but I love you anyway, man -

[beathach]

[BOTH. IT'S BOTH.

But he laughs and hugs him back one-armed]

You're such a dork.

[winn]

It's why you like me so much!

[ nodding. he got you figured out! ]

[beathach]

Among other reasons.

[winn]

Ohh, there are multiple reasons! I must be pretty great.

[beathach]

I refuse to confirm or deny that.

[because he doesn't need to]

[winn]

Afraid if you get started you'll never stop? [ sympathetic nod. he might need a couple more glasses of water. ]
