[passingthrough]

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!

[ and winn doesn't mind in the least~ ]

So what does it make you, prehistoric?

[beathach]

I'm only ten years older than you.

[winn]

They're some damn long years.

[ why do you like him, again? ]

[beathach]

They are not.

[because he's a nerd, duh]

[winn]

It's scientific fact - anything that's got Jazz on the soundtrack takes at least 3 times as long to get through.

[ he doesn't even mind jazz that much he's just giddy and argumentative because arguing with hank is fun. ]

[beathach]

. . . what's wrong with jazz? It's decent music.

[this is a reference he just will never get, it isn't even age, it's that he's a giant nerd]

[winn]

Mmhm, much better than that noise those rascally whippersnappers listen to nowadays!

[ in an old man voice that is just way too polished. ]

[beathach]

What, like Michael Jackson? [HE KNOWS WHAT'S HIP WITH THE KIDS . . . in 1983] His music is decent, too.

[winn]

[ oh god hank that is just too funny, your bro is laughing so hard tears stream out of his eyes, and he leans his head against his shoulder. he looks like he's having a fit.

that is some...ineffective way to not sound old ]

[beathach]

[oh my god Winn he was being serious!! He knows what the kids are into!! How can he not when they play it at the loudest volume and he has sensitive hearing]

Are you done? [he asks after letting Winn laugh for a solid minute]

[winn]

[ he shakes his head, still snickering away ]

Nope! [ he is drunk and happy and you are just freaking hilarious, hank. ] Michael Jackson - [ he just made himself start full-on laughing again. he's sure it really is what the young people are listening to in hank's time, but from his 2016 perspective it's just the funniest thing in the world. ]

[beathach]

[he just hangs his head back and sighs]

I really don't see how it's that funny . . . what, is he not popular anymore?

[winn]

Not with the whippersnappers -

[ actually that's a whole other can of worms he'd rather not touch with a 10 foot pole right now, thank you. ]

[beathach]

Need I remind you what year it is for me?

[don't be mean he gave a legit answer ...... for the 80s]

[winn]

Dude you need to remind me what year it is now.

[ he's so wasted, sorry hank. ]

[beathach]

That I couldn't tell you.

Just how much have you had to drink?

[winn]

[ holding a finger up with his mouth open for a moment. ]

...I don't know. A lot, and the stuff Wrath had? [ whistling and gesturing with his hand, he's pretty sure something died in his brain just from smelling that. ]

[beathach]

. . . ah.

[so that's a lot and then times that by a million] Make sure you drink plenty of water.

[winn]

[ PRETTY MUCH ]

I tried, but it turned out to be vodka. [ he needs adult supervision ]

[beathach]

Winn.

[oh my god he does]

[winn]

[ hand shooting up ]

Here, yes!

[ be a bro and help kitty get him to bed? ]

[beathach]

I think you've had more than enough to drink.

[he will carry him there if he has to]

[winn]

[ that's why you're a best bro. ]

I thought you wanted me to drink -

[beathach]

Not as much as you've obviously drunk, though.

[there's enjoying yourself and then there's what has happened here]

[winn]

I can't win with you. [ long suffering sigh that turns into a quizzical look ] Maybe it's the name. Does that mean people can only win with me? That's really unfair I'm changing it - what would be good...[ thinking this over super seriously now ]
