New Year's Eve Countdown Party

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.

Heh?

[She's not actually used to being complimented like that. It's like being hit by a car -- she's stunned for a moment. Then she picks herself up and acts like nothing happened as she breaks into a smile.]

It's definitely okay! I'm glad you liked it!

[Orihime blinks in realization that, yes, his culture probably doesn't have the same formalities that hers does.]

Well... Calling someone by their last name with '-san' as a formality is a way of showing polite respect. Old habits are hard for me to break! You don't have to do the same for me, though.

[Hardly anyone does, and she's used to that. Even back home, she's almost always called 'Inoue' instead of her first name. Or Orihime-chan.]

[Listening to her explanation, Jaune blinks a little.] Oh. Oh! Oh I get it, no, that's cool. You can call me Arc-san all you want, it's kinda neat. I was just wondering, that's all.

So, you here all on your own? [Naturally that'd be his first question. Jaune would hate to get between any guy and his date, because he doesn't like confrontation.]

[That gives her pause for a moment. Well...]

...Yes? I thought most people arrive on their own. Was I supposed to bring a date?

[DID SHE DO THE PARTY WRONG? D:]

[personal profile] short_n_sweet 2014-01-18 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jaune blinks a few times as Orihime looks positively struck by the question.] Well, not technically, no. You CAN bring a date, but most people only go with the person they like, y'know?
leekspins: (Holding Out)

[personal profile] leekspins 2014-01-19 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[But that meant she didn't have anyone to go with either way!]

Well, it would have been nice if Dean-san could come too, but I know why he's not here.

[Not that he's a date or anything like that, but he is the one person Orihime knows all that well. They'd been through a lot together, but now he was just doing things on his own while she stands around in a pretty dress. It's frustrating.]

What about you, Arc-san? Who did you come with?
short_n_sweet: (Heh)

[personal profile] short_n_sweet 2014-01-23 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huh. Orihime doesn't look overly happy with what Jaune just told her, and Jaune notices, but... what the heck is he supposed to do about it?]

I didn't come here with anyone either though. Lots of people keep coming up and talking to me though, so... that's just as good, right? [He smiles a little to her.] It's weird a girl like you wouldn't have someone who wants to go with you... but you're with me right now so... Hopefully I'll do, for a while!

That's true.

[She stops fretting (at least on the outside), relaxing with a smile. It's not that weird to HER, but since her last three boyfriends disappeared altogether from the city she was in, she's kind of given up on the dating thing for a while.]

I'm just glad you survived the windstorm all right! The weather was pretty strange that week.
