🎃 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? ]

Are you saying you can't dance?

[uprightness]

[ a grim sort of nod ]

I suppose I am. Can't really avoid it.

[ awkwardly sticking to the sidelines as he is. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

That's the saddest thing I've heard, Captain.

[uprightness]

[ he laughs, shakes his head. ]

Well, it's not even the music. I admit I don't really understand it but I can't dance to music that I can understand, either.

[ and well. ]

It was thankfully never in the Captain America job description.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, it's our loss, I'm sure.

What do you like to do?

[uprightness]

[ he sort of stares at her for a minute. not many people ask him that, funnily enough. People seem to think they know Steve Rogers pretty well based on his Captain America image. ]

Music, not that and cinema when it's done well. Baseball, definitely.

[ a little smile, he appreciates her asking. he doesn't really get to tell people those things. ]

I read a lot, I draw.

[takingkarabusiness]

You draw? What sorts of things? What do you like to read?

[uprightness]

Scenery, mostly. I never learned it's just something I like doing, you know, to clear my head.

[ as for reading, well. ]

There's a lot I need to catch up on so, everything, really.

[takingkarabusiness]

Art always seems like something you learn by doing, anyway. That's nice though. I love to do crafts and paint, sometimes.

[uprightness]

You are?

[ a smile. he counts - ]

Paint, craft and signing. I didn't know you were so artistic. What else?

[ now that they are discussing hobbies, he realizes he never did ask her about her own. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I write a bit, and I like to watch tv and eat. Pretty standard 20-something girl, most things considered.

[uprightness]

[ he has to smile, reach over to squeeze her shoulder. ]

You know, I think this is why they look up to you. You still use the word 'standard'.

[ when she's anything but. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she looks down and pushes her hair behind her ear, laughing slightly ]

Oh, I'm sure it's not like that.

[uprightness]

Little girls don't go around your city dressed like Supergirl?

[ he arches an eyebrow at her ]

I find that hard to believe.

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay, they do, and they're so adorable.

[uprightness]

[ ok, this is one of those being a superhero feats which he can entirely relate to ]

do they pretend to fly? do they have the cape?

[ and smiling, he adds: ]

I've seen some girls wielding the shield, made me very proud.

[takingkarabusiness]

They totally do! They sell replica costumes at Target. It's just so cute I can't stand it!

That's so cute about the shield, though, too! You must be so honored.

[uprightness]

It's very humbling.

[ but you know what - ]

can you imagine how many of them you'll see during next Halloween in your world? Trick or Treating?

[takingkarabusiness]

It's almost criminal that they're depriving us of that, you know.
