[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!

I'm having a blast!

[ winn responds happily and if he thinks fenris is being awkward he's definitely not showing any signs of it. ]

Thanks for coming, man.

[wolfuncaged]

I'm glad of it.

[And he genuinely means that, all awkwardness aside. ]

Of course. You are a good friend, I wanted to wish you well on your birthday.

[winn]

You're a pretty great friend yourself.

[ he smiles as he leans on the bar. ]

So, what're you having?

[wolfuncaged]

I...am pleased to hear that.

[No, really. He's kind of a shitty person, and he's well aware of that fact. It's nice to know he doesn't completely flunk at the friendship thing. ]

Is there any wine?

[winn]

[ you sound a little too surprised there, fenris, so you get another pat on the shoulder. it's just the price you have to pay for not knowing yet how much winn appreciates you being his friend, ok. ]

Yeah - red or white?

[wolfuncaged]

Red, thank you.

[He falls into a comfortable silence, because he's never good at initiating small talk. He's happy in the silence though, companionable as it is. ]

[winn]

My pleasure!

[ cheerfully. he places the order and passes fenris his glass before taking his own - some sort of unidentified space cocktail that he grew to like. it's weak enough for him to be able to take the amount of drinks people have been buying him tonight. ]

To old friends in a new year - [ he proposes a toast. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[Ah, now this, this he could do. A smile crosses his face as he raises his glass in turn. ]

And to greeting the rest of it together as best we can.

[winn]

[ that's all he wants from fenris - hanging out in ways that are enjoyable to both of them. ]

I'll drink to that. [ and so he does ]
