🎃 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? ]

[ he wraps his arms around her in a warm hug. ]

It's always my pleasure.

[ he knows there isn't much he can do tonight, but a good hug from a friend who cares always goes a long way for him. ]

[brainiest]

[ The hug is more than welcome, and it softens Hermione into relaxing against him ever so slightly. ]

Enough of that, though, right? On to better things.

[winn]

[ holding his fist to his lips, he imitates a trumpet. ]

Onward - to the snack table? Have you tried the pumpkin treats yet? They came out pretty damn good if I may say so myself -

[brainiest]

[ That makes her laugh, and she reaches out, nodding her head. ]

- I'd love to. It's been a long time since I had pumpkin treats.

[winn]

[ mission accomplished! :D he offers her his arm as they walk to the snack tables. ]

Then these'll be good on nostalgia alone.

[brainiest]

We used to have pumpkin pasties on the trolly on the way to school - and pumpkin juice for the feasts.

[ Definitely nostalgic, and she takes his arm happily. ]

[winn]

For Halloween or was there a general pumpkin fetish?

[ hoping that talking about warm home memories won't lead them down depressing lane again. ]

[brainiest]

Um... A suppose there would be a general pumpkin fetish?

[winn]

That's legit, pumpkin's delicious.

[ nodding ]

[brainiest]

True, but it was enough to get a little boring after a while. I mean, the pumpkin juice was lovely but I did get quite tired of the pasties eventually.

[ There's only so much you can take... ]

[winn]

Sorry, we don't have juice but -- the pie's pretty good? [ getting a plate and offering it to her. ]

[brainiest]

It's fine, trust me. I'm not quite that nostalgic yet.

[winn]

Well if you decide you are - as long as the pumpkin patch holds we can try to figure out how to make it.

[brainiest]

As long as you let me make you potions in return.

[winn]

Deal, yes, 100% no backsies!

[brainiest]

... You sound terribly excited.

[winn]

It's a good deal! And potions are way cooler than boring old medicine.

[ and he doesn't sleep, he needs to work on that. ]

[brainiest]

They are pretty amazing.

[ She will have to make him a mix and match of different things and see which he finds most fascinating... ]

[winn]

What kinds do you know how to make? Besides the headache one which will pretty much save the fleet tomorrow, guaranteed -

[ the answer is all of them, but he'll be the most fascinated in getting to watch her make them if she'll let him. ]

[brainiest]

Practically anything for most situations. Sleeping, healing, magical, all sorts of things.

[winn]

Yup, best deal I ever made.

[brainiest]

[ That makes her laugh, and she shakes her head. ]

It's a good thing I've been growing my herbs.

[winn]

[ laugh! yes! 10 points! ]

I know I'm pushing it here, I already have the best deal ever - but how about a tour of your herbs?

[brainiest]

Do you realise who you're talking to?

[ She's beaming. ]

I'd be more than happy to show you my herb garden, Winn.

[winn]

One of the coolest ladies ever!

[ beaming right back! she gets another quick hug. ]
