🎃 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? ]

Your identity is public, isn't it?

[ladybro]

There wasn't a press conference or anything but -- yeah. But honestly? I've been in the public eye since before I could walk. Dropping the act almost made it easier.

[ even if derek bishop will never forgive her. frankly? she can live with that. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Has it been okay for you? Anyone go after your family for revenge?

[ladybro]

Honestly? [ her dance steps slow. ] I'm a little more concerned about the opposite.

[ family coming after her. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Right. Bad terms. I forgot.

[ladybro]

I wouldn't go so far as to call my dad a villain but -- you know, I'm guessing he goes out to eat at a lot of nice, fashionable restaurants with villains.

[ not even an ounce of a lie. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Family can be really complicated...

[ I mean, her aunt was misguided, but probably not evil. Non on the other hand..... ]

[ladybro]

Complicated family should refer to, like, being black sheep'd because you skipped out on bail. Or stole your sister's boyfriend. Or your dad remarried a girl who went to school with you.

[ and not a dad who takes part in ordering hits on avengers. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Sorry.

[ she doesn't really know where to take the conversation from there ]

[ladybro]

[ she looks askance at kara -- a little confused by her awkward handling of the moment. then, crinkling her nose: ] Wait? Did you think those were real examples? God, no. I was just BSing.

[ ... ] Well, apart from that second marriage thing. That actually happened.

[takingkarabusiness]

That does seem really awkward. I know how it is to have some morally questionable family, though.

[ladybro]

Yeah?

[ -- well, why not. might as well ask. kate figures the full story wasn't something kara wanted to hear, anyway. ]

Why's that?

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh. Well. It doesn't have to be party talk.

[ladybro]

Doesn't hafta be. But it could be -- if you wanted. [ kate shrugs. ] I'm good with it. Your call.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, just that my aunt and her husband showed up after I became Supergirl and kind of tried to take over Earth for some reason...

[ladybro]

[ there's always something. ]

Someone always tries. Eventually. [ ... ] Unsuccessfully, I hope. No offense.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she has a troubled look ]

My sister killed my Aunt Astra, and then lied to me about it. Non is still at large though, last I remember. We could've pulled Astra back into the light. I know it.

[ladybro]

-- Where does that leave things between you and your sister?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, it was justified. I was very angry, and we moved passed it. Then I was basically turned into Evil Me, I was pretty cruel with her. She forgave me but we still had to work through some of the feeling.

[ladybro]

I'm glad you can. [ work through it. ] I don't know if I could be as gracious about it as you.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she laughs nervously ]

Well, I wouldn't say I was gracious.

[ladybro]

You patched things up, right? That takes grace.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ there's so much more to it but they're at a party ]

Well, yeah. She's my sister.

[ladybro]

I'm just saying -- that wouldn't be 'enough' for just anyone.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, we have a strong relationship.
