[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 will find the required pancakes. [Smiling. He did not say he would make them. That clearly requires powers he doesn't possess.]

[ladybro]

It's settled. You, me, pancakes for the hangover. Shopping.

[ this is where people might beam and say it's a date. but frankly, kate's too self-aware to go stumbling over an amateur word-slip like that.

dating's for chumps. ]

[spacebro]

[And there are no chumps here! Just a guy who is lonely but also hung up on a kryptonian who doesn't trust him and having a really good time with a dancing Avenger! Nothing could go wrong!]

And now we are twirling!

[ladybro]

[ twirling! she keeps her poise. impressive, really, given how much wine she's already had. in fact, she announces with a laugh: ]

A lesser dance partner would have yakked on your shoes by now. FYI.

[spacebro]

It's a good thing I'm with you then. [But he probably should cut that out.]

[ladybro]

Oh, a very good thing. [ a smile. ] You're in great hands.

[ though now that she mentions it? her finger pads are a little calloused. ]

[spacebro]

Then I will look forward to tomorrow. [And she'll totally show up and it will be fun and no one will feel lonelier than he did before.]
