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!

Yeah - [ he smiles, and a pesky thought comes up. ]

Pretty different from what you remember. [ of him, of his social circle. though he's sure some of these people are just here for the new year's eve part of the bash since he doesn't really know them, but still. even if only his friends showed up it'd be a lot more people than back home. ]

[spacebro]

It'd be hard to fit all of this in Kara's apartment. [Which has comfortably housed all their other events.]

[winn]

That'd be pretty crowded.

[ he concurs, but it's a sweet thought - all his friends at kara's. he takes another sip of his drink. ]

[spacebro]

So you like it here? [He doesn't mean "at your birthday party."]

[winn]

It's got...a lot of silver linings. [ but it's got a lot of disadvantages too. it's great, and he's going to miss his friends horribly, but he knows he belongs back home now. he wants to go home. ] But it's not home.

[spacebro]

[He looks down for a moment.] I know that feeling. [Of course he's talking more about Earth than the fleet.]

[winn]

[ he looks back at him for a moment. ]

We make the best of it. [ he pats his shoulder and raises his glass back towards him. ]

[spacebro]

[He lifts his glass too and does the clinking thing he was shown.] As far as bests go, this one isn't bad.

[winn]

Bests aren't supposed to be bad - you're thinking 'worsts' -

[spacebro]

Hey, sometimes I know what I'm talking about. I was just understating it.

[winn]

...sure.

[ maybe he's too drunk to understand what's going on, maybe there's an undercurrent of something from a future he's yet to live through - either way, he's gonna drink now. ]

[spacebro]

[It's probably the mutual drinking and pages just not lining up. Mon-El doesn't seem too concerned. He gives his buddy who isn't really his buddy but might be a pat on the back and then clasps his shoulder as a friendly bro might.]
