🎃 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? ]

Cisco is definitely what he seems like, I promise. I don't think he has a bad bone in his body.

[ Which is a marked relief, honestly, compared to some of the people she's known. ]

I - ah. [ Here comes the red cheeks. ] So does he.

[apurrstate]

[He'll let Adalwolfe be the judge of that, sorry Hermione.

But the blush makes him feel a little better.]

Good! I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job taking care of one another.

Aaand I should let you know Wolfe is cornering him right now. I apologize for any potential threat he might make against your boyfriend.

[Except, you know, not really sorry at all.]

[brainiest]

[ That makes her turn around, her eyes a little wide and definitely worried. ]

What? No, that - he's not my boyfriend--

[ Nightmare. This has to be a nightmare. ]

[apurrstate]

[Well, now he looks playfully surprised.]

No? That's the part you take offense to, not the potential threat one?

Although, I suppose, if he's not your boyfriend, the potential threats are pointless. I wonder, do you think he'll say the same thing to Wolfe?

[You didn't know this was what you were getting when you got two magey older brothers, but now you do, Hermione.]

[brainiest]

I could take care of myself if someone was a threat.

[ She's done it before - taken part in warfare, fought in battles, attacked someone as a lion... It's not the best set of memories in the world. ]

... I don't know what he'll say to Wolfe, honestly. We haven't really talked about it.

[apurrstate]

Of course you could! I meant potentially threatening Cisco, but all the same, I suppose it doesn't matter.

[He hardly thinks she's someone who needs protecting in general, that just doesn't stop him from being protective.]

Well...perhaps you ought to. Leaving things to see how they go is all well and good to a point, but after a while, it's better to have those lines drawn so no one ends up hurt. [He tries to slip a touch of humor back into the conversation.] And I mean the emotional kind this time, not the physical.

[brainiest]

Either way...

[ Hermione just huffs a little, nose wrinkled. More than anything else it makes her miss her adoptive father. ]

I... I think we might have a bit to talk about before then, but... Maybe we'll get there.

[apurrstate]

[He squeezed her shoulder lightly and offered a smile.]

So long as you're happy, that's what matters.
