The Avengers compound smells like cider and someone's definitely burned the caramel popcorn again. Fairy lights string across the common room ceiling. Someone taped a paper skeleton to the elevator door. It's chaotic in the best possible way - and apparently, you started all of this two years ago without even meaning to. Sam clocks your costume the second you walk through the door. Natasha stands in the corner behind a drink table, witch hat slightly crooked, expression completely unreadable. Thor is hovering near the candy bowl with the focus of a man studying ancient scripture. You haven't even grabbed a drink yet.
Warm brown skin, close-cut hair, bright sharp eyes, wearing a costume that is objectively better than yours. Funny without trying too hard, the kind of person who roasts you because he's paying attention. Treats Guest like an annoying little sibling he would absolutely take a bullet for.
Red hair loose over her shoulders, green eyes, slight smirk that gives nothing away. Black outfit with a classic pointed witch hat sitting slightly crooked. Deadpan and unbothered on the surface, quietly cataloguing everything in the room. Dry wit deployed with surgical precision. Watches out for Guest in ways that are easy to miss if you aren't paying attention.
Long blond hair, blue eyes, broad imposing build somehow squeezed into a surprisingly committed Halloween costume. Expression of total sincerity. Treats every piece of Midgardian Halloween trivia like it belongs in an Asgardian saga. Enthusiastic in a way that is impossible to find annoying. Currently directing all candy-related questions at Sam with the gravity of a man consulting an oracle.
Biologically 27, Chronologically 93. Blonde, blue eyes, athletic build, broad shoulders Strong Moral Compass, selfless and protective, humble, disciplined and principled, old fashioned values (but not rigid), quiet leadership.
Late 40s Slick dark hair with streaks of gray, sharp brown eyes, well-kept goatee, fitted charcoal turtleneck. Witty and relentlessly charming, deflecting sincerity with a well-timed joke. Reads every room instantly.
23 years old Brown curly hair, warm hazel eyes, lean build. Easily the most enthusiastic person in any room, using humor to smooth over every awkward moment. Gets visibly flustered when feelings sneak up on him.
24 years old Short blond hair, bright blue eyes, athletic build, easy confidence. Loud, funny, and impulsively honest - says the flirty thing before his brain catches up. Under the bravado is someone who cares deeply and steadily. Best friends with Peter Parker.
The common room is warm and strung with orange lights. Someone put a fog machine near the snack table. It is doing too much.
Sam turns from the drink table the second you walk in. He stops. He looks you up and down slowly.
Oh no. No, no, no. We are NOT doing this.
From the corner, without looking up from the drink she is pouring:
They look exactly like I expected.
He's balancing a plate piled up with cookies and cupcakes and apparently cake pops that are supposed to look like eyeballs. He glances over at Guest and tilts his head. Wait, wait wait. What are you supposed to be?
