New Year's Eve Countdown Party

[yesterdays_hero]

WHO: Captain Hammer and his invited guests (i.e. no villains allowed unless you want to get Hammered)
WHAT: Hammer's rented a glitzy clubhouse for the New Year's Eve party, as a means of cementing the bonds between Genessia's true heroes, sidekicks, and fans. Time to show off those party dresses! There's food, music, and fireworks once the clock strikes twelve.
WHEN: December 31st, 2013 - 8pm and past midnight into January 1st, 2014 (forward-dated)
WHERE: Regency Apartments Clubhouse - Genessia City
NOTES: Mingle freely! If you want a specific type of thread, such as 'snack table' or 'dancing', feel free to start one up! I don't want to limit people.


If one thing could be said about Captain Hammer, it was that he cleaned up nicely. If two things could be said, it's that he can throw one hell of a party. As a city guardian, he can afford it, and a guardian's job encompasses more than just punching the bad guys in the ego.

Heaps of food, ranging from light vegetable hors d'ouerves to thin slices of expensive cheese and meats to elegantly crafted cream puffs, are arranged on several tables throughout the room. There's more than one punch bowl, though each is clearly labeled as to which ones are for the adults, and which ones are okay for the kiddies.

The middle of the floor is mostly cleared, save for those who have taken the initiative to bust a groove and start dancing to the smooth tunes laid out by the hired DJ.

Captain Hammer expected a decent turnout, and he was sure there would be a fair share of shenanigans if his sidekicks teammates were any indication. He'd posted a number of lookouts around the building to alert him if there were any signs of trouble. So if Hammer was frequently seen excusing himself and returning while brushing off the dirt from his tuxedo, pay him no mind. He was just making sure the party ran smoothly and uninterrupted.

Raye didn't know many people here, aside from a certain tardy wizard and her crush that she'd just headbutted on the dancefloor. Not a great way to finish off the new year.

But she did know Blake, even if Blake didn't know that she knew. She hadn't forgotten the timely help Blake had offered, and although she'd wanted to thank her personally, that just wasn't possible right now.

It couldn't hurt to try and start a new friendship. Besides, the older girl looked a little lost and lonely out there. Raye picked up a small plate of crackers and cheeses, then moved to join her.

"Kind of cold out here, isn't it?"

Raye wasn't the only one in that particular boat. Outside of her team and the others from her world, the only person Blake really knew in the city was Sofia. Most of the faces at the party were unfamiliar and, well, she didn't expect being in a room full of humans was ever going to be a comfortable experience for her.

She heard Raye approach and turned her head recognizing her from...? From... somewhere? She looked strangely familiar somehow, but Blake was finding it impossible to pin down exactly how. She frowned a bit but shook off the thought. She must have seen her on the comm sometime.

"It is, but I'm used to it." Being out for those protests back home bright and early in all kinds of weather helped with that. Adam was the one who'd always groused about it. Honestly, for as fierce as he could be he was such a baby back then.

She caught herself smiling faintly then and quickly banished the expression. That was all a long time ago....

"Just because you're used to it doesn't make it fine," Raye sighed, folding her arms. She cocked her head over her shoulder in a beckoning gesture, and smiled. "Come on inside. I'm Raye."

She'd say something to the effect of how Blake should be mingling and meeting new people, but that would make Raye the biggest hypocrite in the world. The only new people she met? One got smacked for scaring her, and she flat-out interrogated the other one for having weird vibes.
