🎃 HALLOWEEN MINGLE 🎃
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? ]
no subject
Haunted houses aren't my specialty! And I wasn't trying to be mean.
[grumble grumble]
no subject
But, you know, I bet you'd make a great attraction in there. We could put some wings on you and call you a cockroach; everyone'd run screaming.
[ … Apparently "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" doesn't apply when Aoko feels like bullying him. ]
no subject
[opens mouth]
[closes it again]
[. . .]
[SNORTS]
You're really scraping the bottom of the insult barrel, if you're falling back on ones you've used before.
[nevertheless, he reaches for her hand and gives it a tug as he nods at the haunted house in all of its Halloween-y glory]
You coming?
no subject
[ Like he's any more original!! ]
[ With a long, heartfelt (not really) sigh, she twines her fingers loosely through his and bumps her hip against him. ]
Lead the way.
no subject
[the noises of the party die down as they slip into the haunted house area, though it isn't completely silent thanks to the annoying Halloween music playing on repeat. Kaito gives Aoko's hand a light squeeze and continues to hold it as he walks towards the first bend in the maze]
Sooooo. . . having fun?
no subject
[ Contrary to her earlier sass and snark, Aoko's hum is distinctly thoughtful. She leans into him as they walk, companionably not-quite underfoot. ]
It's been a really long time since we last got to enjoy a proper party. I'm glad we came.
no subject
Hn. . . a proper party that didn't have some kinda ulterior motive, anyway. Be it memories, or to provide energy for an Echo, or. . .
[he trails off, also thoughtful]
Feels weird, doesn't it?
no subject
Weird … [ Another hum, this one lower. ] That's a word for it, yeah. But it's not a bad feeling, for the most part.
no subject
[he flashes her a grin, visible even in the darkness. he could totally get behind "fun for fun's sake," honestly]
[also as they approach the flashing light a HOLOGRAM GHOST SUDDENLY POPS OUT IN FRONT OF THEM!! oooooooooooo. . . spooky. . .]
no subject
[ Aoko kinda twitches a bit, but (fortunately?!) that's the extent of her reaction. ]
It's ... kind of cute ...?
no subject
Since when have ghosts been cute?
no subject
[ That's a word, right? Right. It's also absolutely, definitely a nice distraction from how silly she feels for being startled by a dumb hologram ]
Plenty of ghosts are cute. Haven't you ever heard of Casper?
no subject
[he says with a scoff as he leads her further down the haunted house's makeshift hallway. at least he isn't picking on her for being startled??? but there is something else moving underneath a black cloth up ahead. . .]
And 'course I've heard of Casper, but I wouldn't call him "cute."
no subject
[ Don't pick Kaito up and throw him at it, don't pick Kaito up and throw him at it, don't pick Kaito up and throw him at it – ]
[ It's really, horribly tempting to pick Kaito up and throw him at it. ]
[ But because she's still feeling nice for far, she refrains, instead settling for tightening her grip on his hand and on her broom. ]
What would you call him, if not cute?
no subject
Round. Ghostly. Transparent.
Very round.
no subject
Round things are cute! It's a scientifically proven fact.
1/2
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
no subject
[the sound is SO LOUD and SO SUDDEN that it even gets Kaito to yelp in surprise and stumble back right into one of the boxes flanking the maze. it causes a couple to topple over on top of his head-- thank goodness they're only made of cardboard!!]
[the real problem here?]
[. . . he never let go of Aoko's hand, so he's probably taking her with him]
no subject
W-Waaaaah!
[ Aoko falls, half toppling with her own poor balance and half yanked down by Kaito, landing with an oomph right on top of him. Her knees and-or elbows may end up digging into unfortunate places. ]
no subject
Ack! Can't breathe, can't breathe. . .!
[this is so dignified]
no subject
[ There's more than a hint of whine in Aoko's voice as she struggles to extricate herself, shoving boxes this way and that to clear the way. ]
Are you okay?
[ She pauses once she's managed to sit up, carefully plucking the box of Kaito's head. ]
no subject
[but he breathes a sigh of relief when she moves off of him and pushes himself up into a sitting position as well. when she removes the box, she will find herself treated to the GRUMPIEST EXPRESSION tinged with a very light red blush]
no subject
[ And once she's given him a quick look over to make sure that he's okay ... she grins. ]
Wow, that was smooth.
no subject
[and as soon as she speaks, his face turns even redder]
S-- shut up! It was loud, that's all. It startled me. I wasn't scared.
[his pride is hurt]
no subject
Now we're even. Do you wanna keep going?
