[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, sorry. [But she's not pulling the punch that much because...] It's kind of on the common side from what it sounds like. [She's talked to a lot of people here who had been to a lot of different places.]

[Wanda seems to deflate somewhat. A very apparent look of worry on her face. She's not really sure what to make of this revelation. There was no guarantee that just because other variations of places like the Fleet exist does not mean she will be taken there too. However, the possibility of it frightened her. The idea that, even should she somehow find a way to escape this place, she might just be whisked away to another -- perhaps one even worse than the Fleet.]

Hey, come on. This can't be solved tonight. Why don't you come back in and try to put it out of your mind and have a little fun?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda looks back over her shoulder at the way they came. Back to the sounds of the party still going on. She still feels unsure about going back to the party if for no other reason that it was hard to completely dispel the feeling that she was "crashing" it -- even if Kitty insisted otherwise. However, she didn't want to keep Kitty out here any longer like this. Of the two of them, SHE most deserved to be back there.]

[Wanda turns back to Kitty with a weak sort of smile back on her face. It does little to fully mask her unease, but she gives a single nod, signaling her acquiescence.]

Maybe get something to eat? There are some snacks. [And Kitty should be mingling back through, but she wants to make sure Wanda is okay.]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She nods, her weak and sort of uneasy smile fixed in place. Together, the two ladies return to the party, but Wanda immediately breaks off to go stand by the snacks and drinks. Allowing Kitty to go back to mingling with her friends. She resolves that she'll stand around long enough to abate any lingering concern of Kitty's before making a quiet exit.]
