🎃 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? ]

[outstandingbalance]

What, getting me a date? I'd be surprised. But he's surprised me before.

[takingkarabusiness]

Anyone you have your eye on here?

[outstandingbalance]

Some nice guys here. I wouldn't say I have my eye on any of them, but we could get a drink, have some fun.

[She raises an eyebrow.]

You?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I don't know. I mean, I know there are guys here, and I have seen them, and some of them are pretty attractive but I don't kknow if they'd go for me or anything like that.

[ awkward ramble alert! ]

[outstandingbalance]

I didn't ask if they had their eye on you, I asked if you had an eye on them.

[Which is a very important distinction.]

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean, uh, yeah there are some people I'd get drinks with?

[ her voice is pitched up and she scratches her ear ]

[outstandingbalance]

Yeah? Like who?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, uh, Pietro asked me out but we haven't been able to get that together yet, and have you met Ravi? He's new, he's a doctor. He's got pretty great hair. Winter and I get dinner a lot but that's mostly just a friend thing, I'm sure...

[outstandingbalance]

Pietro's a good guy. So is Ravi—tall handsome doctor? You could do worse than getting drinks with him. Plus he's fun.

[He and Kara might be a little too much alike, though.]

Winter... you're better off just friends.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, like I said, it's not like anything's happening. The last guy I made a move on is currently dressed as my cousin and his girlfriend is dressed as me. I'm gonna say that is not a success.

[outstandingbalance]

I think we can categorically say that won't happen again.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm just saying, Winn has had more success than me at this point.

[outstandingbalance]

I bet you could turn that around real easy.

[takingkarabusiness]

You say that...

[outstandingbalance]

And it's true. Go ask Ravi out. I'll bet you coffee he says yes.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she laughs, because she's uncomfortable on the topic and she feels put on the spot ]

Me? Oh, no, he's so new I wouldn't want to bombard him.

[outstandingbalance]

It wouldn't be bombarding. It'd be inviting. I really don't think he'd have a problem with it.

I'm not saying you have to. Just if you did... he'd say yes.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'll... think about it.

[outstandingbalance]

Let me know how it goes, if you do.

[takingkarabusiness]

Only if you let me know if Steve succeeds in setting you up. Or if he fails tremendously.

[outstandingbalance]

Which do you expect?

[takingkarabusiness]

You know what I expect. He's a very nice guy, but I don't think he's going to find you The One.

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, I really hope he's not looking for The One.

[takingkarabusiness]

Disappointment all around?

[outstandingbalance]

Probably. I'm not really looking for someone like that.
