driftfleet | 🎃 HALLOWEEN MINGLE 🎃

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? ]

Well, whether I can or can't, I guess I'm not now.

[WHY DID YOU BRING UP THAT IDEA]

[Because I have a terrible sense of humour! But also, whoops.]

Aw, come on! Don't let that stop you. Will it help if I tackle anyone I see trying to get you on camera?

I would rather not be responsible for a scene like that?!

Then I won't. But just sing. You shouldn't let me make you nervous. [Pause, amend:] More nervous, anyway.

I don't know any Earth music, anyway!

Music only from one place? [She raises her eyebrows and glances over the many and varied people here.] That's kind of limiting, considering.

Your girlfriend will be disappointed, though, won't she? Maybe you should drag her up there with you.

[Also she's curious, because last time she talked to Nightingale there was no girlfriend. But she's not broaching that conversation when she's already flustered over singing.]

Everything here is all about Earth.

[ugh, though. you just had to bring up disappointing her.]

... Opal's absolutely amazing with music, though, there's no way I'd compare.
