🎃 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? ]

[ he has to prove he deserves his friends. ]

If you change your mind, I'm pretty sure you'll like her, and not just because everyone does - but that's definitely part of it.

[mucked]

Oh? [ she gives a beat. ] What makes you so certain?

[ not challenging. just curious. ]

[winn]

She's a total badass.

[ nodding. ]

[mucked]

You know, such people also have a tremendous capacity to be insufferable.

[ POINT IN CASE, YOURS TRULY. peggy isn't making this easy on either of them. ]

[winn]

Believe me I know -

[ but it's ms. grant he's thinking of, not peggy. he likes peggy. peggy's nice to him. ]

But Kara's not like that. She's the nicest person I ever met. [ she saw him when no one else would. ]

[mucked]

-- Captain Rogers also speaks highly of her.

[ which, to be fair, is actually one of the few character references she'll take without much qualification. ]

[winn]

Of course he does, he's got good taste.

[ nodding. ]

Kara's my best friend from home, I've known her a long time. Whatever Steve's told you - it's true and probably doesn't scratch the surface.

[mucked]

[ flattery will certainly get you somewhere winn -- though that somewhere might still involve laughter. ]

I think he values the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with someone who doesn't bruise so easily.

[winn]

[ hey, he loves getting laughter! laughter is a great place to get to! ]

She mostly does the bruising. [ nodding with a smile ]

[mucked]

I'm sure it's a fascinating match-up. Although, Steve might be at a distinct disadvantage as he certainly can't fly. Not without a jet, at least.

[winn]

I'd bet on her on ground level, too.

[mucked]

I'm certain you would.

[ loyalty is sweet and predictable in that fashion. ]

[winn]

[ he's also certain he'd win, because kryptonians have so much power it's ridiculous. ]

How 'bout you, holding out for more information?

[mucked]

I have all the information I need, I think -- but I'm not fond of making wagers on fights. [ even fake ones, though her tone is still jovial enough to suggest she isn't really disagreeing with him. ] But I will say there's far more to Steve Rogers than what the serum gave him.

[ -- a brilliant tactical mind might not guarentee him a win, but peggy understands it gives him a helluva chance against tremendous odds. ]

[winn]

There's much more to Kara than superpowers.

[ an iron will, an indomitable spirit. yeah, there are some things she can't win against - but he can't picture her ever not trying. ]

[mucked]

[ her smile is both wry and friendly. believe it. ]

I have a hunch neither of us are going to win this little game of hypotheticals.
