MINGLE — NYE & Winn's Birthday PARTY!
Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Broadcast — Earlier than now for planning
Action: Hotel Corona — Winn's birthday / NYE party!
When: Action — Dec. 31 / New Year's Eve
[Broadcast (open to everyone but Winn)]
At the risk for earning a reputation as a party planner, I have a thing for everyone to attend again. Don't worry, lots of other people are helping pull it together. It's going to be on New Year's Eve, but the real event is the countdown to Winn's birthday which is also on the first. It's going to be in a club we rented out for this in the red shift district. Starts around seven-ish. Ends when you pass out?
It's kind of a surprise maybe? At least the part where it's for his birthday. And if you don't know Winn but you still want to come that's fine too. You can trade a gift for Winn for a free drink at the bar. Otherwise, bring some money. Cake's on us though.
[Birthday/New Year's Party]
[The space is well decorated and so glittered you can probably tell Wrath was part of the team putting this together. Lots of Winn's friends came out to help whether it was getting decorations up, managing food, music, or chipping in to buy out the space and a drink for anyone bringing a gift. Not to mention drinks for the birthday boy all night.
There's a table for presents and another one with a spread of openly available food though the bar has appetizers you can buy too. There's a big cake at one end because of course there is and some punch that didn't start the night spiked at least. There's space for dancing and a karaoke machine set up on a small raised platform for those who want to try their hand at entertainment.
The night really kicks off when Winn walks in and instead of a balloon drop there's a fluffy blue stuffed bear drop. Feel free to take one of those home. There are a lot.
When midnight comes closer some people will file out to one of the observation areas to get a good view of the nebula for the big countdown. Bring your own person to kiss!

but how can anyone not love a birthday party that starts with a (non-lethal) plush attack?
you can find winn mingling, laughing, eating, and drinking - so much drinking - he will drink with anyone who wants to toast with him! if you've met him at least once, chances are you're getting hugged (and if you haven't and you play your cards right (or wrong, depending on your pov) - you'll get hugged too), and whoever you are, you're getting thanked. ]

But hey, at least Fenris is older than him? Who knows exactly HOW much older than him but it's something. Fenris holds out the gift with one hand- god it really is so crappily wrapped. Someone did not go to gift-wrapping class. ]

He leaves Winn to mingle as he will for a bit before coming up to great his little brother, a medium-ish box in his hands, wrapped with the care of a professional (aka - not him). His grin is wide as he slaps his little brother on the back. ]

partings were such difficult things, especially when made so abruptly. It made the lack of Tyrells in the fleet a small advantage, she had no family to lose.
except for her metaphorical one but a name day was no time to think of such sad things. she comes to the party dressed in the colors and flowers of house tyrell.
Knowing little of this holiday does not stop her from wishing 'happy new year' to those she passes. One certain thing about Margaery, she's easily adaptable. ]
Happy name day.

she makes a point to find winn with two glasses in hand -- one for her, and one for him. she pushes it gently into his palm. she won't be leaving this interaction without a toast, sir. ]
Here's to you, [ she answers in a sprightly voice -- betraying, perhaps, that she's already had a drink or three. ] Were you surprised? I know Ms. Pryde wanted you to be surprised.

She'll also be snacking the night away and doing the occasional co-hostess thing of making sure everything is running okay. She isn't drinking much, but if someone gets her a drink what is she supposed to do? Just not drink it? Winn is rubbing off in some bad ways too! You might even find her in the hall having a smoke break and she really hasn't done much of that lately. One for her missing Remy? Another of the X-Men gone except he was never actually an X-Man back home. Those thoughts don't last long though and it's back to the party where she spends some of her down time playing quick card games at the bar. Maybe another tribute to Remy.
You might even see her doing a duet with Winn at the karaoke. He's definitely the worst kind of influence.]

Actually, he'll be dancing too, and maybe trying this karaoke. He doesn't know the songs, but he'll do his best. ♪ I believe in a thing called love! ♪]

Plus, it's not like she has anything better to do.
She'll drop off a gift at the bar in exchange for a shockingly blue cocktail, but for the most part, she spends her time on the floor. Anyone who comes too close might find themselves pulled into a dance. Do you risk it?]
no subject
winn's dancing his way through the floor with a drink someone bought him - he's not sure what exactly it is, but he's had a couple, his spirit's high, and really he's beyond caring, it tastes good, whatever it is - when he finds himself occupying the space next to natasha. she gets an excited wave and a ridiculously happy smile. ]

kate bishop » ota
(1) -- regardless of the genre or the pace, she can be found on the dance floor for at least two thirds of the night. she's half-grace and half-exuberance, inevitably hitting a point in the evening where she kicks off her heeled shoes and dances in her bare feet. oh, sweet dance partner, you'd better not step on her toes.
(2) -- did someone say punch? because kate's likely to be at least one of the people who have spiked it tonight. with a wink and a pile of credits, she buys a pint of god-knows-what hard liquor from the bar and proceeds to top up the punch bowl. if she's caught, she'll claim innocence until she's blue in the face. unless, of course, you'd like to help her spike the next round?
(3) -- well past 'midnight', she's still here. kate has two of the stuffed bears from the initial plush-drop during winn's arrival, and she has them both tucked under her arms while stretched across two chairs pushed together like a makeshift bed. drunk as a skunk, and evidently feeling cuddly, she slips in and out of little cat naps and sleepily-sung verses of auld lang syne. she's probably partied out, but clearly doesn't want to rush back to the blameless. ]

Wanda Maximoff - OTA
[Wanda is almost just as surprised herself. Both that she'd felt a kind of odd compulsion to accept the invitation to attend, but also that she apparently had a rather suitable dress for just such an occasion. At any rate, here she was in a fittingly scarlet-red dress with her hair appropriately teased somewhat -- adding some light curls to the end of its length. It was New Year's Eve after all. She wasn't going to come in just her regular choice of attire.]
[Despite the slight social discomfort she's feeling, Wanda's having a hard time compelling herself to leave. Instead, it's like she feels she should be here for some reason. Still, it wasn't enough to get her out from the fringe of the room. If anyone would like to speak with her, they'll have to be the one approaching her.]

Do you know how hard it is to selectively phase off glitter? [Not actually annoyed. She's in too good of a mood. Winn is happy so all is well with the world at least for his birthday eve!

Stefan Salvatore-Alesci | OTA
While he's been pulled into one too many dances with his favorite witch, he'll also linger by the dance floor should someone else want to pull him in for a song.
He's also quick to head by the buffet, helping himself to a random assortment of food - some of which he helped prepare, as perks of his chef job! - and well. He's squinting at the calamari, because that definitely looks off even by his standards. Yummy, he decides as he tries a few, but off.]
because i don't have enough cr with you. c:
but the next time she sees him, he's lacking a partner. kate walks confidently up to the guy, taps him on the shoulder, and meets him with a bright smile. ]
It's criminal that you're not dancing right now.

So Winn gets two gifts presented to him, and to all his friends? Yes. You get one too. He's onto your Winter Gifting now. Hah!
One can find him smugly sitting at a table with his sack of gifts, along with a blue drink, later on. He's never been much for dancing but for talking? Oh yes. He can definitely talk.

He retreats to a quiet corner as the countdown begins and the bright cacophony of the club finally starts to catch up to him in the form of the beginning of a migraine. Still, he quietly grits his teeth and pillows his head on a forearm to stare out at the undeniable shifting beauty of the nebula for a few minutes longer, contemplating exactly what meaning the turning of a new year meant in a place like this]

when he's not playing music you could find him either dancing or otherwise getting more than slightly drunk.

but also, it's winn's birthday which is the really important part of the evening. it feels nice, being able to celebrate birthdays and special events with people he would otherwise never meet.
still, he'll be busier making conversations with those he knows. it seems that as a rule, captain america prefers to stick to the outskirts of such events.
sometime later during the night he'll be watching the karaoke-ing people with an amused sort of cringe. ]
this went more smoothly at Halloween -
[ if only because more people were sober. ]

What are the chances of finding a pack of cards? [ she asks -- voice lifted over the bass in the current track. the alcohol has brought a flush to her cheeks and an ease to her posture. tonight, she finds herself rather happy. she feels vibrant. ]

[closed] - the very beginning of the party
[Robb has not gotten the message entirely. There has been a buzz about a party to celebrate the coming of a new year in space and he figures it would be a nice thing to do with Jeyne. The fact that it was actually the celebration of Winn's nameday never truly made it to his brain.
He thinks that it would be a good thing for them to show up together as a couple. It felt good to be a man wed once again. To have found what he had lost.
Kitty is the first one he sees and he smiles.]
It is good to see you. I am here to attend the new years feast.
Closed to Jeyne
[He grabs her arm rather firmly when he returns. The look on his face is somewhat stern, his lips pressed together to a thin line.]
