🎃 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? ]

You make that sound as if it's on par as the car with the little helicopter blades on top that I built out of Lego blocks. Take a little more pride in your work, mate!

[beathach]

I - I have plenty of pride in my work. [he absolutely does. He just doesn't like coming off as though he's bragging, either]

[arfvader]

As you should! Because I certainly don't know many people who can say that they rebuilt an entire jet!

[beathach]

I'm sure plenty of people have had to rebuild a jet . . . [y'know, people who actually do that sort of thing for work. He's reaching, though]

[arfvader]

Right. Great American past-time and all that.

[beathach]

[he huffs a little weakly]

All right, all right. You win.

[arfvader]

Look, I think it's pretty brilliant! It's rubbish that the augment means you can't do it anymore.

[beathach]

I can't like I usually do, no. But we have a great engineer on my ship - Cisco, if you've met him - and sometimes I ask another friend to help, too. So it's not too bad. Just - frustrating, sometimes.

[arfvader]

Still, nice to have friends you can rely on! Have you built much yet?

[beathach]

That's true enough. [but he shakes his head] Not much here, no. I couple of things for a friend, but small scale. That's about it. Studying samples from the planet keeps me busy enough.

[arfvader]

You've been down there? What's it like?

[beathach]

A few times. Erik and I went out to the crashed ship, too. [his nose wrinkles a bit] It's - interesting? I don't hear or feel any of the things other people have mentioned, so I'm not really getting the - ah, full "experience", but - there's a lot of plant life and animal life that's grown to incredible proportions. Ferns and flowers taller than I am, rodents the size of horses - things like that.

[arfvader]

So it's almost like a real-life version of the "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" movies!

[beathach]

Yes, exactly like—wait, what?

[arfvader]

... right, sorry, probably doesn't actually exist for you yet.
