🎃 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? ]

[Nami bursts into snickering.] You must've missed him getting a sponsor drop of a whole set of them. They looked like romance novels, I swear. The guy on the front meant to represent Sam was giant and bare-chested with long flowing hair and an axe.

...I think it was an axe, anyway. [Too busy laughing at the strapping physique and Fabio hair tbh.]

[passingthrough]

Think he still has them? I do enjoy reading. [She looks amused.]

[namisan]

Sadly, we had a ceremonial burning. But I did save the cover from one. I'll send you a picture later if you like.

[passingthrough]

I'll take what I can get. I hope you read them first.

[namisan]

I didn't, actually. Though I may regret it in the future. I figured if it was someone's private life it should stay someone's private life. Terrible art of it, though... that's fair game.

[passingthrough]

Some private life to have printed in books. That's messed up.

[namisan]

Definitely. I mean, I get the idea that in someone's world, we might be some kind of fictional character in a story. [She's come across that once or twice.] But apparently Sam knew of these books from his own home. That's just rude. And weird.

[Messed up is a good way of putting it.]

[passingthrough]

So, anyone could just buy his unauthorized life story and read it? Seems like that would make hunting hard unless monsters aren't big into reading. [Pause.] Was the hunting a secret? [There are things she learned in the prison before coming here that she isn't always sure translate into things she should share, but he and Nami seem close. She must know, right?]

[namisan]

More or less, I think. I mean, as far as I know, most people in Sam's world aren't aware there are monsters around, so it definitely sounds like a behind the scenes kind of thing. [She hasn't asked him outright, but some things seem like a logical assumption.] I guess the books' saving grace is that most people won't realise the characters in it are real.

[passingthrough]

I got that impression too. At least from the Sam and Dean I knew before. It's always possible the Sam here isn't exactly the one I knew. [Especially since he doesn't remember the prison so "exactly" is a stretch.]

[namisan]

You've met them before...? I didn't realise.

[More alternate versions. If Sam had been in more than just Adstring he'd have said as much.] Does he know?

[passingthrough]

In the prison, but yeah, he knows. He's also older than the version I knew. Longer hair.

[namisan]

...how old's the Sam you knew?

[Okay look, she's curious. In the kind of way some people ask for baby pics of their best friend to mock them forever.]

He was from the end of season 5

[passingthrough]

I'm not exactly sure. He just looked younger than he does now. Still older than me though.

what a great canon point

[namisan]

Ah, well. So much for hoping he was a gawky teenager or something. [Grin.]

It's weird, though, how so many of us have been to these different places and don't remember, though.

hehe, yes, things were practically simple back then

[passingthrough]

Sorry. No luck. You're the one with the good intel.

Mmm, probably very similar alternate versions of ourselves. Maybe memory wipes.

[namisan]

[Gonna not address the intel. It's true, though, she knows enough about Sam to fill several novels by now.]

I hadn't thought of the idea of alternate versions, actually. Though that's definitely possible-- we've already had several blatant examples of it.

[Dean. And she hasn't missed the ridiculous variance in Kurts they've had.]

[passingthrough]

There were two of me in the prison so it definitely comes to my mind easily.

[namisan]

...that would do it, yeah.

I know I was in a giant ship like the Marsiva. Max told me I kicked him in the shins.

[passingthrough]

Another you?

[namisan]

Yeah. Though I've got no recollection, obviously. I've probably turned up a few places and just don't know about it.

[passingthrough]

I've never had that one happen to me. I have gotten a couple of people who know versions of me from their worlds.

[namisan]

So you've definitely got alternate selves out there. That's ...gotta be weird to think about.

[passingthrough]

Mmm...the big shock came when I heard a time traveler came to our world to tell us everything was wrong because someone changed the past. Everything that's happened in the prison and here with alternates? Easy. [Though after finding out her world was "wrong" it did make her feel like all those other Kitty's are probably more "right" or better versions of her and that's not the greatest feeling.]

[namisan]

Time travel? Seriously? [She thought her world was the crazy one.] We've got someone who can slow time down in ours, but travel isn't a thing. That sounds like a lot of headaches.
