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.

[a thought comes to her!]

I never thanked you for my gift! I liked it.

[Jaune blinks and looks at his tie, and attempts to straighten it. It was kind of like emtaphorically patting out the fire left behind by Weiss' cold burn. After that, before he could even say anything, there's a silence as Weiss thinks back on things with her family. Jaune just raises a brow,but soon the topic shifts.]

Oh, yeah! Well the silver kinda matches your hair, right? That's what I figured, anyway, and that you like jewellery. I liked my presents too! It was very... thoughtful. [Though he IS rather attached to his bunny pajamas.]

[combatskirts]

[ah yes, that's much better. She's starting to feel more like herself.]

I did think of you when I saw them. Now you don't have to wear the bunnies all the time.

[code for: please stop wearing the bunnies]

[short_n_sweet]

Haha, yeah... Yeah now I can.

[He looks into his punch cup. He likes those pajamas.]

... Anyway, you seem to be all settled in already. This place is pretty freaky huh?

[combatskirts]

I'm not sure about that. Then again I did speak with a ghost yesterday, or at least that's what he said he was.

[short_n_sweet]

[Normally that would be really surprising, but then again...]

I saw a lady get her arm ripped off. It grew back. [He spits that out quickly, obviously not enjoying to recount the tale, but it was the strangest thing he'd seen yet. He looked out over the party, and spotted Ruby hovering around the edges.] ... You have to have heard what happened to Ruby, too.

[combatskirts]

[Weiss blinks at his story, her mouth open. Okay, he was right, this place is WEIRD. That's just not supposed to happen. but then he looks past her at her partner. Her heart sank a little that she couldn't be there for Ruby in her time of need, but at least she was healing. Weiss was glad that Ruby came out with them.]

Yeah... I heard it all from Yang. I couldn't believe it at first.

[Ruby was so strong. How...?]

[short_n_sweet]

[Yeah, Jaune was just as confused as Weiss is in that moment.]

Neither could I. I feel kinda dumb looking back on it, because when she called for help I didn't think she was serious at first. [He sighs, but tries not to look too beat up about it.] But we're all on guard now, which... is good, but kinda sucks.
