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.

Oh-ho! So now you're the one keeping secrets from me? I have to say I'm a little shocked. Fair enough though, I wont pry any further into your business life.

[It does, but it's a pretty great accessory that goes with any outfit.]

Are there now? Well, thanks for the warning, I wouldn't want to accidentally fall in with the wrong crowd.

[crowning_glory]

You taught me well.

[She smiles, then looks at her punch.] So, humans welcome the new year with a celebration? I have to admit, it seems people will find any excuse to engage in frivolity.

[big_fat_liar]

So well that apparently I'm going to keep an eye on you from now on.

[Because he wasn't already doing that.]

Hey, any excuse to cut loose for a little while is a good excuse to me. Not all of us can be all business like you.

[crowning_glory]

All business? I can have fun at times. I think I am hardly to blame that most times aren't always appropriate. I spend many evenings reading books.

[Yes, Milla is so super fun.]

Though that raises a point: I've never inquired about your pastimes outside of working.

[big_fat_liar]

Okay, okay. Maybe I was being a little dramatic about it.

[At least she has an interesting taste in books.

Alvin pauses for a little, he generally tried to avoid talking about himself.]

Who me? Oh you know, this and that. I try to keep up with the latest fashions, You have to if you want to impress the ladies.

[crowning_glory]

Ah, of course. You mentioned as much about your scarf on more than one occasion. I admit, fashion trends have always been interesting - it's fascinating to see clothing change from year to year. Eras of a bygone time wore such interesting fabrics...

[She stops herself before going into a tangent.] In any case, are you here alone? It seems custom that one brings a companion to such gatherings. A "date."
