🎃 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? ]

[And he's pretty much kicking himself for not realizing it sooner.]

This seems like a good time to use the augment as a scapegoat?

[takingkarabusiness]

It's fine, it's fine! I'm okay with you learning stuff about me from me. But yeah, ew, no crushes on Superman.

[arfvader]

Yeah, absolutely! Crushing on Superman, totally gross!

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, you can crush on him if you want.

[arfvader]

[He laughs a little at that.]

Let's be honest, most people have at least a little bit of a crush on Superman.

[takingkarabusiness]

I think you're probably right. Winn definitely does. My cousin's a pretty cool guy.

[arfvader]

Speaking of Winn, I've officially put in an application to be a part of the "think tank" you told me about. I'm feeling pretty positive about it!

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh really? You guys talked? How'd it go? What do you think of him?

[arfvader]

He joined me on stage for "Bohemian Rhapsody", so basically I think we're soulmates now!

[takingkarabusiness]

[ excited fist pumping in success! ]

Yes!! That's awesome! I knew you'd get along, and you're going to be a great addition to the team.

[arfvader]

I may be able to bring some rock-hard-fake-cookies to the table as my contribution!

[takingkarabusiness]

And, you know, having an Actual Medical Doctor on the team will be useful. Because Winn knows a lot, but he might faint at the sight of blood.

[arfvader]

So you're saying I shouldn't count on him to be my surgical assistant?

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe just ask...

[ not Cisco
maybe Hank?
Uhhhhhhhhhh ]

I can do it.

[arfvader]

Do you think your whole "laser eyes" thing could have some cauterizing action? Because that could be extremely useful!

[takingkarabusiness]

Uh, I think it depends on how big the thing I'm cauterizing is? I'd hate to aim for a vein and then just...

[ whoosh. motions going through the whole body ]

[arfvader]

... maybe just for amputations then.

[takingkarabusiness]

As appropriate as this is for Halloween...

Do you want to get a drink? I'm thirsty after all that singing.

[arfvader]

I can always go for another drink! What are you having?

[takingkarabusiness]

Sprite, mostly. Unfortunately alcohol doesn't do much for me.

[arfvader]

I guess a superhero metabolism would do that! I'll join you for a non-alcoholic drink to try and not to deplete my modest pile of "shame money".

[takingkarabusiness]

Shame money? Why are you calling it that?

[arfvader]

That's what Kitty called it, and you have to admit it's kind of catchy.

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay, true. It is catchy. Though that forces me to think about how she got her shame money and I'm not drunk enough for that.

You're a medical doctor. You should fix this for me.

[arfvader]

Being a medical doctor means I recognize that "fixing that for you" could lead to any number of unintended consequences. And since I did that whole "do no harm" oath, I think I'll pass for now.
