🎃 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? ]

It's pure guilty pleasure -- especially toasted over an open fire and sandwiched between cookies with some bittersweet chocolate.

[wolfehawke]

Okay, so not meat, if it goes with cookies and chocolate.

[Which he says out loud despite his meat theory having been kept to himself. He's a bit sloshed, so words may come easier but censorship does not.]

A confection, then? Something made of sugar?

[ladybro]

Meat? No. Sorry. No meat. Well -- except for the part where they definite have gelatin in them and -- [ she stops, laughing. ]

Sugar. It's mostly sugar. Hawkeye's honour.

[wolfehawke]

[He doesn't even know what gelatin is, let alone that it's made of horse, so he just shrugs that off.]

Excellent. We should get some. I'll even roast them.

[He grins wide, letting a bit of fire flare theatrically through his teeth for a moment.]

[ladybro]

You know, it's Halloween. If Winn did half as well as I'd bet he would? There's gonna be something mallow-y around here.

[ she rises onto her tippy-toes and looks at the snack table. ] Probably also pumpkin-shaped, mind you.

[wolfehawke]

I have no issue with pumpkins. We used to grow them, you know. Fairly hardy crop, pumpkins.

[Also the exact taste of harvest season, at least to him. Even before they'd re-secured the Amell Estate, Wolfe had spent his last copper on a pumpkin when it got towards the season.]

Mostly I like the seeds, but soup is good too. Especially if it's got chunks in.

[ladybro]

You know, in my world? In my time? Pumpkin spice is a pretty huge deal, as flavours go.

[wolfehawke]

You know, we never really cooked with many spices until we got to Kirkwall. That's just not really how Ferelden cooking is done. What sort of spice is pumpkin spice? Is it made of pumpkin or what you put on a pumpkin?

[ladybro]

It's what you put in a pumpkin pie, at least. [ and a basic white girl latte. ] Cinnamon, brown sugar, nutmeg. Maybe some cloves. You know, the way autumn tastes.

[wolfehawke]

Mmm, pie...

[Thanks Kate, now he wants pie.]

Do you think there's meat pie, maybe? Or just the fruit kind? Or... well I guess it's mostly been candy.

[Which is all well and good but he doesn't have as much of a sweet tooth as Anders.]

[ladybro]

I think meat pies are more of a Christmas thing. Depending on where you're from.

[wolfehawke]

Christmas?

[Nope don't have that either.]

[ladybro]

Oh, sweetheart, you're in for a treat. [ maybe. hard to say. some people don't take to christmas so well. ]

It's all gifts and mint-flavoured things and presents.

[wolfehawke]

Mint? I don't even like mint tea. But gifts and presents sound great. I love giving presents!

[ladybro]

Note to self: don't get you candy canes for Christmas.

[wolfehawke]

How could anyone eat an entire cane made of candy? That sounds excessive.

[He snorts.]

No I take it back, my brother could.

[ladybro]

They're not cane-sized canes. They're -- fun sized.

[ and she demonstrates by drawing an invisible line between her palms. ]

[wolfehawke]

That's not a fun size for candy. Fun size should be much bigger. Fun size should cause a stomach ache in one sitting.

[ladybro]

Nah, sweetheart, that's king sized.
