🎃 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? ]

her steps slow. the dancing stops. concerned, she asks: ] Is that truly what he does?
no subject
If it were almost anyone else, Natasha wouldn't even have hesitated to shrug it off, joke it off, wave it away.
But Peggy is on the short list of people who she can't do that with. She pauses her dancing as well, her expression serious to the point of concern as she considers how to answer.]
Steve's lost a lot. [She settles on answering.] I don't blame him for being hesitant to get back in the world. And in some ways, he's not doing so bad... But in others, yeah. He finds ways to isolate himself.
no subject
I suppose I can understand the inclination.
no subject
[Natasha realizes she's in a glass house on this one. Her dishonesty could easily be made for a way to keep her distance too—and she couldn't say it's wrong without more lies. But it's different. She and Steve and different.
She would hate to see him lose his humanity. It's part of what makes him such a hero.]
But you can see how that's not the best thing for him.
no subject
she clears her throat and suddenly feels less like steve's friend and sweetheart and much more like the agent who had once assessed his suitability for the serum experiment. ]
Stubborn git. [ because she knows coaxing him away from that isolation can't be an easy task -- not even for natasha. ]
no subject
no subject
[ that's lightly put. ]
And I was the idiot asking him why he never ran away.
no subject
[And apparently never had been.]
I can't tell you how much easier my life would be if we had roughly one man on the team who new how to compromise.
no subject
no subject
[A pause, and she adds.]
It's possibly I shouldn't include Rhodey in that count.
no subject
peggy tries to keep up. it's not always a simple task. ]
no subject
[And we all have to realize that the only way to be friends with Tony in the lon run is to be able to compromise.]
He's a good guy.
no subject
not quite beneath her breath: ] The man must be a saint.
no subject
Even he can be pretty stubborn, though.

[ ahem. ]
no subject
It can seem that way sometimes.
[By which might mean she's often frustrated by the inflexibility of her teammates. Or it might mean that Natasha's apparent flexibility isn't exactly what it appears to be.
Either way would be accurate enough, in its way.]
Imagine I'm the only one who can do the splits, at least.

Peggy deserves the opportunity to draw her own conclusions.]
You can't tell me you got as far as you did without being flexible.
no subject
no subject
[Or any kind. Literally any kind of flexible.]
no subject
peggy clears her throat. ] Right! Well, I'll do what I can. [ she gives natasha a friendly tap on the arm. ] Can't make any promises, however.
no subject
[She is clearly amused as she says it, the conflation intentional.]
