🎃 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? ]

Huh. Like "ette". Or just "a", I suppose.
takingkarabusiness: (6)

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-12-11 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Essentially, yeah. There are variations but you know. It's a trend.

-- Huh. [ gender norms are WEIRD. ] What are some other Kryptonian names?

Well, my dad was Zor-El, his brother—my uncle–was Jor-El. My cousin is Kal-El... You get the idea. Alura was my mother and her sister was Astra. Astra's husband was Non, but he was a jerk.

In case you can't tell, we're big on the house names. Mine is "El", my mother's was "Z"— her father was In-Z.
ladybro: (➵ she has her arms)

[personal profile] ladybro 2016-12-12 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
-- Did she keep her maiden name when she married your father? Like, was she still Alura-Z or did she change her name to Alura-El?

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-12-13 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Alura In-Z...

Like my name is Kara Zor-El? Krypton was a pretty progressive society but there are always artifacts from history. Girls take their father's names, wives take their husband's name, and boys get a new name...

It sounds crazy when I say it like that, but it's not that different from Erikson or Robertson...

To the point at hand, my mother took my father's name and became Alura Zor-El.
ladybro: (➵ breathe in)

[personal profile] ladybro 2016-12-13 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ and because she has no filter at all: ] Yeah, like Odinson.
ladybro: (➵ breathe in)

[personal profile] ladybro 2016-12-19 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Thor. Who is, uh, Odin's son. [ ... ] So Odinson. Although he's not Thor, currently. It's complicated.

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-12-22 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds very complicated.
ladybro: (➵ funny how a lonely day)

[personal profile] ladybro 2016-12-22 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a worthiness thing.

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-12-23 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
So is Thor a title?

[personal profile] ladybro 2016-12-26 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess it is. Honestly, Asgardian culture isn't really my area of expertise. My one primary source was Loki, and it's not like you can trust that rat-bastard.

[ said almost affectionately, although she is DEFINITELY not talking about the loki here in the fleet. ]
