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.

[Huh, that actually sounds pretty- waitasec.]

you don't remember what you paid? [Pause, then maybe a little too hopeful-] Are you sure it wasn't just cash or something?

[simon_petrikov]

Wha? No. Am I supposed to remember? [Uh oh, did he go and forget something he wasn't supposed to? He quickly smacks his hands against his temples and rubs them, clenching hus eyes shut as if to try and knead the memory into the appropriate position in his brain.]

Nggggh...! Nope.

[He shrugs.] I got nothin'.

[Inwardly, she's just D: but outwardly, she's trying to keep a lid on it and not ruin the party because she's worrying, even if her posture slumps a little more than usual.] It's.... okay. [She manages to make a smile] Really. I keep forgetting you're, like, really old.

[simon_petrikov]

Me? Old? Gah, for all the-- you young people don't know how to talk to your elders! Callin' me forgetful just 'cause I'm old, sheesh! [He waves his hands as if to dismiss her.]

Well, bottom line is that I got my old crib back and all the boys. I celebrated by throwing an awesome house-warming party with all the Penguins. Should've been there, it was tiiiiiight.

Anyway, moving right along. [The old man shuffles on over to the snack table and... just starts shoving stuff into his robes to swipe.] Y'know I could toss you a couple bones if you really want that bass. You shoulda said so before Christmas, ya dumb.

[...It might have been mostly pride stopping her from doing it. but not entirely. She just floats along behind him, eyebrow raising on his pilfering, but not saying anything of it. Definitely not the worst thing he could be doing.]

It's okay. I'm nearly there anyway. [just not if she wants to make rent this month. And she might have lived outside before and all, but not having a place at the same time sucks. You might have had the right idea getting your crib back. And as for the party.... he gets a slight shove.] If you'd told me you were having it, I would have been there, dingus.
