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!

You totally did. [ they got his favorite people, everything else is just the cherry on top. ] Hell yeah! Let's do it!

[pain_train]

Yeah! [High five?] Yeah me another song, too! Oh, and do you need a drink?

[winn]

[ HIGH FIVE!!!! ] I don't not need one - [ it's new year's eve and his 30th birthday, he's gonna drink. ]

[pain_train]

[Takes her a second to parse that, then she grins.] How do you feel about pink?

[Yes. She brought the infamous pink bottle with her.]

[winn]

I'm willing to give it a chance!

[pain_train]

Awesome! Lemme grab a glass.

[Which she does, and the infamous bottle comes out of her purse. The liquid that she pours a generous amount of into the glass is very pink.]

It even tastes pink.

[It also might make you go blind. But. You know. Small risks.]

[winn]

[ he takes a curious little sniff and pulls his head back ]

Jesus, that's strong - what is it, anyway?

[pain_train]

Um. [Looks at the illegible label and shrugs.] Pink.

[winn]

Well -- here goes nothing - [ down the hatch goes...about a third of the glass before he starts coughing ] shit that's strong - [ he laughs as he struggles to catch his breath and shakes his head. ] You should try this thing on Steve.

[pain_train]

[Wrath cheers and claps and gives him a friendly punch in the arm.] Hell yeah!

Oh, does Steve like pink?

[winn]

[ he almost instinctively answers truthfully with a steve just needs really strong drinks in order to feel anything.

but he catches himself right on time. ]

Yes. Mmhmm. [ nodding ] It's his favorite color but he's shy about it so he denies it but don't believe him, it really is.

[pain_train]

Oh my gosh! Poor Steve. He should get to like pink as much as he wants. I could make him a nice pink scarf, do you think he'd like that?

[Winn, you are a BAD MAN.]

[winn]

I think he'd love that! And you should point out how nice he looks in it, so he feels more confident in wearing it!

[ nodnod! he's basically the worst. ]

[pain_train]

Of course I'd do that! That's really sweet of you to think of, Winn. You're so thoughtful.

[winn]

I try!

[ he doesn't even feel guilty, it's awful. ]

[pain_train]

And you succeed. [Have a hug.] Come on, let's have another shot!

[winn]

[ hug, yay! ]

Can we try something else, I think my throat is still on fire -
