🎃 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? ]

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.

[ladybro]

Hopefully, you'll see her again soon.

[ however that happens. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Thanks. I kind of want to share this whole thing with her, but that's probably kind of selfish.

[ladybro]

Not at all. I get it. I empathize.

[takingkarabusiness]

Who would you have here?

[ladybro]

[ she points at her costume. ]

They guy who normally wore this, for one. His boyfriend, too. [ ... ] Or maybe America. I've been missing America a lot, lately.

[takingkarabusiness]

America?

[ladybro]

America Chavez. She's -- [ indescribable. ] From home. Rolled with the Young Avengers, for a bit. Now she's with the Ultimates. I can't figure out whether you'd like her or not. She's sort of an acquired taste.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I'd give her a fair shot since you're such good friends.

[ladybro]

I'm trying to decide whether she'd be considered an alien or not -- I'm thinking...yes? She's Earthlingish. But the girl's got mad powers, and technically she comes from a dimension where I'm pretty sure the Earth isn't even a thing. A little more interdimensional than intergalactic.

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay, that's really cool. I have tons of interdimensional friends.

[ladybro]

Everyone else calls her Miss America -- which is a little silly, if you ask me. But she's just America to me.

[takingkarabusiness]

She's from a dimension without Earth and her name is America?

[ladybro]

You know, I've never actually asked if her name was always America...

[takingkarabusiness]

I guess that's fair. I lucked out. Seems like Kara is a name in both places.

[ladybro]

Y'know, that kinda is unbelievably lucky. Jeez.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's not that exciting. Ka and Ra are like, super common building blocks in languages.

[ladybro]

Sure. But by that logic, you coulda been named Raka.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe. There are some interesting parallels. Women's names on Krypton usually end in "ra", for example.
