New Year's Eve Party
By New Year's Eve, everyone who has ordered something directly from the Bar has received an invitation to Emcee's party, no matter what their means of communication. Or if they've perused the notice board, they've seen a flyer making note of it. Along with emphasizing a fun, casual, and inclusive atmosphere, the invitation provides directions on how to find said celebration: just follow the arrows.
On the night of the party, neon-colored arrow decals that light up if stepped on have been placed on the floor, pointing to the elevator. In the elevator, more arrows point to the button for the garage. And in the garage, even more arrows lead down the aisles between cars, planes, and spaceships. Not sure where you're going? Several of Jay's hive drones are flitting around, making sure no one gets lost. They all guide guests toward a modest, single craft-sized hangar. Except tonight, it's not housing an aircraft (which is now outside next to it, with the note Property of Sahaal on it), but Emcee's New Year's Eve party.
Closed red velvet curtains hang in the wide, open doorway. Pinned to the curtains is a sign that reads WELCOME, and under that, BE KIND. It's an attitude that Emcee hopes is not too difficult to adhere to.
Step through, won't you?
Inside, the party is likely in full swing.
Above, twin mirror balls, one at each end of the room, spin in tandem, casting twinkling lights over everything. The light shifts colors every so now and then, from gold to pastels to rainbows. Placed among the gantries are devices that will release silver confetti onto the crowd below at midnight. The walls are draped with more velvet curtains, hiding the cold steel and providing decorative sound insulation, as upbeat music pumps through the speakers.
On the back wall there's a large digital clock counting down the time.
Meanwhile, Emcee is around, wearing impeccable makeup that will most likely be sweated off before the end of the night; tight, cropped black leather trousers; and a white tank top with the word HOT spelled out with tiny red kisses.
Find your host anywhere, anywhere at all, if he doesn't find you first.
[OOC: Millitimed to New Year's Eve, but open forever! Threadhop, mingle, arrive as couples, have fun!]

Mingling!
There's plenty of space to wander around, and cushy, circular banquettes dot the open floor like islands.
Rest assured, wallflowers will be personally tended to by Emcee. You can't hide.

Re: Mingling!
When he returns, he's in a neater pair of pants that aren't his normal cargo ones and a clean shirt with his black jacket over top, dressing up is something he only ever does for a cover, so he hopes he looks nice. Downstairs, he walks around the space, seeing who's around and trying to spot where Emcee is.

There's a rather vivid hickie on his neck, half hidden by a turned up collar. But still he keeps to the edge, near the door.

There doesn't seem to be anyone he knows around, but that's okay. He'll lounge on a seat for a bit, and then go and find a drink or six.

Re: Mingling!
Barry and Cisco have arrived! Barry with his arm around Cisco's shoulders, and Cisco trying to support his
possiblydefinitely inebriated friend."Dude-- for real? You've got like a foot on me, I can't-- Barry, use your legs!"
It takes a struggle, but Cisco finally shoves Barry back onto his feet, and the pair surveys the crowd.
"Okay, well, we made it," Cisco says, swallowing nerves.
"LET'S PARTY!" Barry declares, throwing his arms up into the air.
[ooc: two pups, one mun. Catch either (because Barry is definitely going to get away from Cisco) or both, info on talking to both here.]

Re: Mingling!
They're wearing what they always wear: a faded coat of orange camouflage paint, patches of moss stuck to their armor, a few dandelions that settled into the remaining moss on their left shoulder and right knee when they inadvertently trampled a clump of seedheading wildflowers on the Swedish shore, and three incredibly stubborn pink flowers that clung to the top of their head, their chestplate, and their right shoulder despite everything they'd been subjected to.

Remy Lebeau and OTA
He wandered with a drink in one hand, and a card in the other, flipping it idly. Three very small cats, from somewhere, wandered to and from him, sometimes, climbing up to perch on his shoulders, sometimes not.

Eating & Drinking!
The self-serve drinks tables are divided into alcoholic and non-alcoholic. There's a keg of German beer with a tap at the ready, and an array of liquor including white and red wine await to be consumed. The non-alcoholic table offers soda, fruit juices, iced tea, and of course water, sparkling and plain.
Also, TruBlood for any vampires who happen to stop by.
Grab a flute of alcoholic or non-alcoholic champagne while they last. The next bottle will be popped at midnight!
Throughout the night, waitrats stream in and out to replenish the tables. Eat, drink, and be merry, there's always more.

Re: Eating & Drinking!
So she's taking at least one of everything. She reserves the right to come back for seconds.
And thirds.
Fourths are decidedly not out of the question.
Right now she's trying to corral a handful of tiny meatballs with a strategic deployment of pastries without having the entire thing wobble off onto the floor.

Re: Eating & Drinking!
He makes a beeline for the food and drinks tables. He's not going to be an impolite glutton and score an entire bottle of whiskey for himself, but he does pile a plate with at least one of everything, and fills a pint glass with beer from the keg. Any party that has a beer keg is a good one as far as he's concerned.
Also, the music is good, so Cassidy is just gonna stand over here, bopping along while he eats and drinks. (He wonders if they'll play Justin Bieber. But he sure as hell is not making a request.)

Re: Eating & Drinking!
Curious - and shy.
The invitation said party so he had asked the bar to borrow some clothes. Which means that for the first time in a while he isn't wearing soft hand me downs but rather clothes that fit.
Black dress pants, a nice pale blue button-down, and dress shoes.
His hair is still a lost cause.
He walks by the buffet tables, looking at the food curiously.
And then he spots the TruBlood.
Have a vampire, who's just tried to surreptitiously wipe his eyes.

He does, however, eat and drink. In moderation.

Singing!
Nearby is a karaoke machine (not an evil one, totally voluntary) where anyone is free to sing a song -- the DJ will cue it up for you!
Have a few drinks first to screw up the courage. It'll be worth it.

Re: Singing!
A Special Dedication from Emcee
Countdown!
"Hallo, my darlings! I hope you all are enjoying yourselves. I know I am! But guess what time it is now? It's almost midnight! And even if it isn't a new year in your world, it still can be the start of something new and wonderful here in Milliways. May you live long, laugh loud, and love, love, love."
He points with a sweeping gesture to the digital clock.
"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Happy New Year!"
Emcee pops open a bottle of champagne, and as it bubbles over, sparkling confetti gently falls like snow from the ceiling. "Auld Lang Syne" comes up on the sound system while the lyrics scroll across the digital display in case anyone wants to sing along.
Will you find your first New Year's kiss? Will you embrace a new friend? Or an old one? However you do it, the Master of Ceremonies, as ever, hopes your heart is happy.
[OOC: Treat this thread as a free-for-all: reactions, continued mingling, cheering, toasting, kissing, hugging, etc.]
