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!

<sub>[ What's so bad about thirty, Winn? Your big bro turned thirty not that long ago, and was going to hit 31 in only a few weeks. Kirk had done the other the honor of putting on his new suit - or at least the jacket. He did like the jacket, but stuck to simple jeans and nice boots for the rest.

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. ]</sub>

Welcome to the 3-0 club, Winn!

[ what's bad is that his girlfriend is 21 and yeah, their age difference hasn't changed, but switching to 3 makes it feel so much more.

but he's way too happy right now to think about that, so there's nothing but smiles when jim slaps his back. ]

Thanks, man, do I get to learn the secret knock now?

_{[ Hey, so long as you two like each other and you're both legal, what's the harm? Kitty is more than perfectly capable of making her own decisions on that front. ]}

Sure, I'll teach it to you tomorrow - since I'm sure tonight you will be far to distracted, am I right?

_{[ Smiiiiirk. ]}

[ she might be more capable of that than he is, after all - she initiated...most things between them. still, stupid feelings are stupid feelings, they do what they want. ]

And I probably won't remember it anyway.

[universal_charm]

Hey now, don't be like that. You have to try and remember some of it.

The party - I'm gonna try to. The secret handshake - I make no promises about.

It's all right, that one always takes a couple of tries to get right. But if you fail on the fifth try, you're out.

Hey, I'm good with going back to my twenties. [ shrug, not really giving him an incentive to learn here! ]
