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? ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[They were going to keep going with the French? Ok, Remy could work with that. Hell, it was some good practice he hadn't managed to get in for awhile, bar his use of one or two words here and there in his normal conversations. He doubted he would ever forget the language, but it was always good to put it to work now and then.] Hé, pas tout, ce serait juste insultant pour moi, ou d'autres.

[A grin to match his joke as his gaze flicked down briefly to her lips with that appearance of her tongue, mindful to keep any comments raised by it to himself for now.] Remy LeBeau, et vous seriez?

('Hey, not everything, that would just be insulting to me, or others.' 'Remy LeBeau, and you would be?')

[It's her mother's native tongue and Gemini rarely gets the chance to speak it, so just being able to converse with Remy gives him serious points. His grin's met with an amused purr, one scaly foot hooking around his.] Je suis heureux de l'entendre. Je détesterais penser que tu es tous des mots et aucune substance.

[In response to his question she gives him a patently false innocent look, almost daring him to call out her following lie.]

Je m'apelle Medusa, n'aves-tu pas entendu parler de moi?

(*I'm glad to hear it, I'd hate to think you were all words and no substance.* *My name's Medusa, haven't you heard of me?*)

Oh, je suis encore beaucoup de mots, mais au moins je suis capable de les sauvegarder la moitié du temps. [Remy was well aware of his ego and how much he talked himself up. Never know, one day he may be as good as he claimed to be.

Leaning back against the bar and sliding a little closer at that contact she offered him, Remy raised a brow but also grinned at her choice of name.] C'est ainsi? Tu semblez plus agréable que tes réputation tu donne, puisque je n'ai pas été tourné à la pierre, pourtant.

('Oh, I'm still plenty of words, but at least I'm able to back them up half the time.' 'That so? You seem nicer than your reputation gives you, since I haven't been turned to stone, yet.')

Seulement la moitié du temps? [She gave a sibilant laugh, teasing him, her green eyes locked on his glasses, trying to see the colour of his.]

Ne me tentez pas. [She smirked, some of her hair-snakes snapping playfully at him, as she extends a very sharp clawed finger to run delicately up his arm. Her scaly skin is cool to the touch, much like the snake she seems to resemble as she leans a little closer.]

('Only half the time?' 'Don't tempt me.')

Donner ou prendre. [Remy was all for teasing, provided he got a chance to hand it back just the same. It made things more fun, and helped him gauge how much joking she could take. His eyes did however flick up behind the round glasses to those snapping snakes, hopeful she wouldn't turn them on him... or at least hoping they weren't poisonous. Or didn't aim for his face.]

Moi? Tentant? Jamais. [It was said with a grin and in a tone that said the absolute opposite to his words. His own hand slid up, fingers curving against the bend of her elbow, his own touch warm beyond that of a normal person's.]

('Give or take.' 'Me? Tempting? Never.')

[Those sharp little teeth would not be going anywhere near Remy's face, Gemini liked it far too much for her to do anything to spoil it. They curl back after a moment as Gemini lent into his touch, surprise sparking on her face at how warm he is.]

Je pense que je devrais être en désaccord Remy. Tu es un menteur terrible, mais vais-je te punir? [Her hand dropped to his thigh, her caress showing exactly what 'punishment' she had in mind.]

('I think I'd have to disagree Remy. You're a terrible liar, however will I punish you?')

[Remy would have to be blind, deaf, and stupid to not pick up those hints, and luckily he was none of those (or at least on a good day for the last one). Taking a long swallow from the drink he had brought over with him, Remy left it sitting on the bar top as his hand glided further up her arm, before sliding off to find a resting place against her back.]

Je suis sûr que nous pouvons réfléchir à une ou deux choses ensemble. Maintenant, travaillez-vous bien pour tu?

('I'm sure we can think up one or two things, together. Now work well for you?')

[Gemini's own drink still sat untouched to one side, although she hid that little clue by leaning to obscure it, answering the movement of his arm with a pleased purr.]

Pas de temps comme le présent.

[Gemini hoped she might be able to feel the thrill of being swept off her feet by a man who really was stunningly attractive, but her rubber body as always remained as unresponsive as ever.]

('No time like the present'.)

[Oh, Remy is very glad he had taken the chance to wander over and chat with Gemini, even if things ended up not heading where he thought they were. She was a certain type of fun that he certainly appreciated; someone else who was typically up to no good. It was a nice change from the typical 'heroes' he had as friends on the Fleet.]

Alors ne gaspillons plus le temps, détesterions la nuit pour devenir trop vieux sur nous. [Taking a step away, Remy waited to see if she would follow along with him or pull back. Or decide to take her own path. If she wanted to lead, then hell, he was happy to head that way too.]

('Then let's not waste anymore time, would hate the night to get too old on us.')

[This fleet had far too many holier-than-thou whiter than white types, so it was a nice change to meet someone a little more dangerous. Not to mention outrageously handsome.]

Ne serait-ce pas un crime? [She moved to follow, her arm slipping flexibly around his own, her expression hungry.]

('Wouldn't that be a crime?')

Je ne suis pas sûr, mais ça ne m'a jamais arrêté avant. [It was said with a certain smirk, one he really hadn't used a lot of late. Again, that was thanks to his friends mostly being on the right side of the law. Hell, just being around her was making him yearn for a need for a fix, a job that would sate his need to steal. It really had been too long.

Slowly weaving a path through the crowd for them, Remy casually headed them out of the hall.]

('I'm not sure, but that's never stopped me before.')
