genessia | 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.

“Well that’s good news.” It was reassuring, and somehow when she smiled it made Murphy feel like maybe everything was ok, like everything. Which is kind of unsettling when you realize you just had a moment of such enormous weight.

She read the next message and stumbled over her tongue. “God?” Not like God, God. THE God, one third of the holy trinity.

[Her response? Is a wave, not unlike the greeting one. If a little more enthusiastic.]

"Hold up, you are telling me that you are God, and you're a woman?" Murph was dealing with this surprisingly well, in fact when her lips split into a huge grin she looked like this was the best news she'd ever heard.

"I've told people for years God could be a woman, can I buy you a drink?"

[she nods enthusiastically, and then again when she asks if she can buy her a drink. But wait! She already has one here.

But it would be rude to refuse.

And illogical to have two at once.

...She shrugs, then tips the drink on the floor. Then frowns at the puddle, quickly waving it away. Away away - it's completely dry like the drink had never been emptied there. Then she holds out the glass to Murphy, frown gone. She might not be the most conventional problem solver, sometimes - but she looks so darn proud of herself.]

Ok that was...weird. But the water to wine to nothing was a nifty trick. And Murphy just clicked her tongue before she shrugged and held up a hand for the bartender.

"Whatever she's having is one me, I owe her one. I owe her a lot actually." She was loving this, true or not it just tickled her.

[She looks at Murphy, a touch confused as to exactly what she's done to be owed, but then it disappears as she supposes it's one of those things - such as the people that think she's to be blamed for everything also.

The bartender pauses a moment, then brings over a glass of the finest champagne, and one for murphy. Okay, so she might have ordered for you as well. But it looks like you're ready to celebrate, so this is a thing, right?

she's just gonna shrug, smile, and offer a toast.]

Karrin isn't super religious, hard to be a cop and not have to find a balance between faith and personal responsibility. But she did believe, faith enough to make her worthy of wielding one of the Swords of the Cross, imbued with the power of heaven itself. But that faith was tempered with life and watching people make decisions on their own to help or hurt others. It gave her a sense of perspective.

"Thanks, I guess this is to everything, and what we make of it." She raised her glass to toast with and smiled back.

[She nods back, and touches the glasses together before sipping off the top of the glass. Her legs swing back and forth slightly as she sits where her feet don't touch the floor, not entirely unlike a child might do.

She takes another mouthful, then writes a new text out.]

you can ask questions. If you wish. [Bear in mind you probably won't get a straight answer, however...]

[She read the text and just sort of gaped a minute.]

Where would I even begin? I mean there is so much meaning of life, are we meant to do your will or chose our own way regardless? Are you still listening and watching over us? I mean there are a ton of questions I should be asking but...

Come on, fess up chocolate was your idea, right?

[The chocolate thing gets her laughing quietly behind her hand.]

Do you believe I put the Cacao plants there for no reason? [A grin] As for the other things... [she's just going to reach out and poke your nose gently. Boop. But what does it mean?]

[Clearly God has a master plan. Karrin laughed and shook her head.]

I get it, the big stuff is meant to be lived not known. Thanks for the chocolate though, it's helped.

[See? You do get it. Unless she just likes poking noses. It's God, who knows but her?] Thank the Mesoamericans for figuring out what to do with it. I just put the plant there. [She grins. Human ingenuity - there's nothing like it.]

[Intended or not she got Murph to thinking and maybe that is the whole point after all.]

Well I'm sure there was some divine inspiration there.

[She taps the side of her own nose with a wink. Maybe, maybe not.]

[Either way, it works.]

I always thought I would have more to ask. And I've noticed you don't talk much.

Sometimes it's better not to take the mystery out of things.

[And she's nodding.] Creatures of the mortal plane tend to explode when exposed to my voice. And I'm not too sure how that would work here so better safe than surrounded by headless corpses. [shrug! She's used to it. Kinda. she usually had Metatron at least, but hey. It is what it is.]

Explode? Wow you don't go in for small talk huh? Well if that's the case thanks for not talking then, kinda like my head on my shoulders.

I like it too. It's a sensible head.

[And then she pats her on said head while grinning... and slips off of the stool to wander away back to the dancefloor. She's about as good at exits as she is at greetings. Sorry about that.]
