Caritas - New Year's Eve [Open]

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

At 8:00, the doors to Caritas opened.

Unlike previous years, the host for the evening was not dressed up. He was still wearing his robes. Tino and the zombies were dressed in their fanciest clothes (which for the zombies meant "only several holes and very few patches of dirt).

Jolee had taken the time to get some cleaned-up T1-series utility droids to roam around with free champagne for anyone who wanted some. Tino was behind the bar to serve other kinds of drinks, but those were not free. The lounge had been replaced by a dance floor with a nearby buffet and there was a ball hovering above the stage ready to drop at midnight. That part was Jolee's doing. He was totally showing off his Force skills, but he would claim that it was some kind of machine doing it that he couldn't begin to understand and don't poke around looking for it because if you break it you'll be thrown out in a very impressive fashion and that's only if the utility droids don't get you first..

[OOC: Tino and the T1's are totally moddable. I'll be around a little later but I need to celebrate the fact that I have a paycheck again by eating food. Please wait for OCD. Have at it!]

The Bar [NYE]

A place to sit and gather. Feel free to mod Tino or the T1's. Jolee's on the customer side of the bar. He'll have his own subthread if you want to bug him.

The Bar [NYE]: Talk to Jolee

In case anybody wants to stop by and chat with the host who is dressed in his best robes. That is, his most recently washed robes. Look, Jedi can live in these things without taking them off for years, don't judge him.

After the Christmas she'd just had, Eve so needed a drink. Or twelve. Which was why she'd beelined for the bar and told Tino to give her something strong and surprise her.

John waved at the familiar face. "Hey Savannah, how's it going?"

Eve laughed. "Sorry, wrong Levine," she said, giving John a mock salute with her drink.

"Wow, you could be her twin," he said, a little shocked. "I'm John, we're on cheer squad together."

Jaina had no problem spending her first New Year's Eve on Earth here, glad John didn't seem to mind it either.

And she was sort of really amused by the droids.

"They've set this up a little differently for the party tonight," he commented, looking around the bar. "And are those droids?"

Re: The Bar [NYE]

[solo_sword]

"They are," she said, watching one. "Much older than I'm used to, too, if I don't recognize them."

Re: The Bar [NYE]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Me too," he said, peering at one nearby. "I hope they don't cry."

"Look at the droids," Luke said, grinning and pointing as he and Jo walked into the bar. "They're so old!"

Re: The Bar [NYE]

Jo tilted her head at them. "I'll take your word for it."

Re: The Bar [NYE]

"We had some really old droids on the farm and even ours weren't this out of date," he said, smiling harder. "Master Bindo must be from further back in the timeline than I thought."

He leaned over to kiss her cheek. "And you look lovely, by the way."

Re: The Bar [NYE]

Jo slid her arm around Luke's waist. "You're looking pretty suave yourself."

The Dance Floor/Buffet [NYE]

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

If the zombies play YMCA, get off the dance floor and take cover. The tape that keeps their arms to their shoulders isn't strong enough to support the arm motions. Someone may get hit by a flying arm.

There's also food over there. Beware the food after any YMCA performance.

[OOC: There will be no YMCA performance. Feel free to generally mod music, though.]

Re: The Dance Floor/Buffet [NYE]

[solo_sword]

Moving out to the dance floor and luckily missing any YMCA performances, Jaina asked, "This better?"

Re: The Dance Floor/Buffet [NYE]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yes," he said, placing his hands low on her back. "It's all working according to plan."

Re: The Dance Floor/Buffet [NYE]

[solo_sword]

"There was a plan?" she asked, looking up at him.

Re: The Dance Floor/Buffet [NYE]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," he answered. "It involved you, a dress, and dancing."

The Final Countdown [NYE]

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

Jolee had no clue why the band broke out a synthesizer and was playing this song now. It sounded like a Wookiee gargling.

He thought that of most of the music tonight, though.

In any event, the zombies were playing Europe and counting down. All the while, the ball lowered at a steady pace.

"Aiiiiigh... Rrrrrrrrrr... Eeeeeeeeeee... Oooooooooooo... Uggggggggggh... Aaaaeeeee ooooooogh eeeeeear!"

If anyone kisses for too long and Jolee sees it, they might get Force smacked. But he's making a point not to look. It's his gift to all of you.

Re: The Final Countdown [NYE]

When the Final Countdown began, John shook his head and looked at Jaina, "Do they use this song for everything here?"

Re: The Final Countdown [NYE]

[solo_sword]

"Maybe it's a theme," she suggested. "This is it?"

Re: The Final Countdown [NYE]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It seems to be," he said, observing the room. "There's even a ball dropping and a countdown."

Re: The Final Countdown [NYE]

[solo_sword]

She frowned. "Is that what they're doing? Counting down?"
