🎃 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? ]

I'm a morose bastard.

[ Despite the put-on frown and voice, it's easy to tell that he's genuinely, truly pleased with himself. He does give Kitty's costume a questioning glance, though, and finally breaks character with a wide grin. ]

I think I would remember seeing someone dressed like that.

[passingthrough]

[When he says "bastard" it clicks.] Are you supposed to be Jon? Are you trying to get punched in the face? Seriously. Do you wake up in the morning and think, "hmm, seems like a good day to lose a tooth."

And he doesn't dress in uniform on the ships.

[reek]

I lived beneath the same roof as Snow for ten years. All he does is mope and call me an ass. He's never once retaliated. I'm not sure he has it in him.

[ His response is almost matter-of-fact in tone. Jon is younger than him by several years, but Theon can't recall a time when they didn't feud. Jealousy was and remains the sole factor that keeps their fights going. ]

Perhaps not wearing the uniform is to his benefit. If I may say, it makes you look like a walking target.

[passingthrough]

Maybe he's more mature. [Raising an eyebrow at him before glancing down to the outfit as if she'd forgotten how much she looked like a flag.]

This uniform is symbolic. It was meant to inspire and rally troops behind him during a time of war. [Along with public sentiment and inspiring war bonds and all that. It seems the uniform he fought in was a little different, but she figures close enough. She wasn't there. It's all history to her and always possible his history was a little different.]

But sometimes being a walking target is what you want to draw attention away from the ones you're there to protect. Doesn't mean the hits will land. [Says the intangible girl with a smirk.]

[reek]

Or maybe he isn't.

[ He mirrors her raised eyebrow, but she has the right of it. He totally is--usually, at least. He and Theon did both take the low road for this party by dressing up as one another. ]

I don't feel particularly inspired. [ Says the man who owns very few items of clothing which are not covered in golden krakens. ] And my hits always land. [ He smirks, and he isn't actually lying in a certain capacity. He is an excellent marksman. ]

[passingthrough]

It's based around the flag of a specific country. I'm sure it's less inspiring if you're not from America.

[She smirks at him.] Bold words, but you don't know who you'd be up against. [And while the subject was Steve, she can't help but be a little smug being intangible and all and hearing "my hits always land."]
