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!
stefanged: (that's rough buddy)

No, it's more... [He holds up a fried baby octopus. Or uh, something resembling an octopus - there's four legs instead of eight, and the whole anatomy's off.] I don't think this is the calamari we're used to.
robitussin: (you've heard those lies before)

[She tilts her head as he holds it up, squinting slightly at the food.]

Well, hopefully it tastes the same and won't give us any weird alien diseases. Go ahead, you can have the privilege of trying it first. I'll be here for moral support if it goes horribly wrong.
stefanged: (hunh)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-07 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
And first aid, I'm hoping.

[He gives it one final grimace before he eats it whole. He's not exactly human, and his worst-case scenario is an upset stomach. Mm, it's - spicy? Like unexpectedly so, and he lets out a low, slow breath as it goes down.]

Not bad, but also not for the faint of heart.
robitussin: (bleeding out in the--)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-07 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Not bad, but not for the faint of heart. You realize those two things kind of necessarily contradict each other, right?

[She gives the calamari a long stare.]

stefanged: (well okay then)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-07 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's pretty spicy. [He holds up another one, convinced it won't hurt him.] I don't know how you like your calamari. If black pepper's too much, then this won't be your kind of thing.
robitussin: (you've heard those lies before)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-08 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
I am definitely the type who eats something without realizing it's spicy, then drinks a ton of water to save myself without realizing that water doesn't help at all, and regrets every choice that's led me to that moment.

[A sage nod.]
stefanged: (in that case)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-08 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
In that case, I'm very glad I went first.

[He's just gonna inhale it whole; boy not only likes spice, he can handle it better than most people.]

Though in your defense? There's really no way to tell.
robitussin: (when we open up our light)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-08 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it doesn't really look spicy.

[A quick glance to the rest of the food.]

This is why you should be careful of any unfamiliar space delicacies, honestly. Very dangerous.
stefanged: (thinking about it)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-09 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Very, very dangerous.

[He gives her a sage nod not unlike the one she gave earlier, before folding his arms and seriously regarding her.]

Alternatively? I could serve as your taste-tester for the evening. Make sure you don't run into any trouble along the way.
robitussin: (or if they just fake it)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-09 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[She pauses, but then laughs.]

You make eating a lot sound so noble.
stefanged: (easy smile)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-10 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's the most noble task I can think of. I get to sample everything, you get the reassurance that everything's a-okay... everyone wins.
robitussin: (and if other daughters)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-13 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Stuffing your face. So noble.

[A small laugh, regardless.]

I guess I can allow this, in my infinite generosity.
stefanged: (easy smile)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-15 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I kindly appreciate it. [He gives her a triumphant grin. If he were closer, he'd reach out for her arm and kiss it, continuing the noble trend - but he's afraid it could be mistaken for something more than a a joke.] Infinite generosity aside, you enjoying everything else?
robitussin: (when they tell you that)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-17 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Not usually much of a party person, but Winn's an okay guy, so as long as he's having a good time it's cool.

[High praise.]

You?
stefanged: (kinda hopeful)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-18 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much the same.

[Equally high praise; Stefan would rather cut tail and run, but Winn's too important for him to stay inside.]

My friend's huge on dancing, though, so I'm pretty sure I'll be sore tomorrow.
robitussin: (and if other daughters)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-18 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[A chuckle.]

Yeah? What friend is that?
stefanged: (genuine smile)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-19 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He gestures towards a blonde woman on the dance floor, all dressed in bohemian style clothing with a shawl and a long skirt that spins out when she does.]

Misty. [He sounds prouder than he should be.] She helps me with interfaith stuff, and in exchange, I let myself be pulled on the dance floor a few times. Which, honestly. Could be a few times too many.
robitussin: (you've heard those lies before)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-20 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She glances over towards the dance floor as he gestures, tilting her head slightly.]

Don't think I've met her. What's she like?
stefanged: (easy smile)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-23 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding? She's super friendly, first off - like you think I'm ridiculously nice? Misty's that times a hundred.

[Stefan grins, folding his arms as he too observes Misty.]

But she also has one of the strongest wills I've ever seen, and once she's made up her mind on something? Nothing'll stop her. [Not even Stefan, and he's tried.] I think you'd like her, actually, if you ever got the chance to talk.
robitussin: (you've heard those lies before)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-24 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[She pauses for a moment before nodding solemnly to herself.]

Mother hen and a huge softie. I see it all now.
stefanged: (making faces)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-01-26 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, come on... [He groans softly, mostly to himself.] You can't even pretend I'm like a papa bear?
robitussin: (if they love each other)

[personal profile] robitussin 2017-01-28 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
I am never going to utter those words in an unironic manner, no.
stefanged: (real talk buddy)

[personal profile] stefanged 2017-02-01 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
How come? Your reputation isn't the one at stake here.
