NYE Party- Caritas- Saturday

[throughaphase]

The year was over! Almost!

Caritas was all set up. There were lights all around and the Christmas tree was still up, sprigs of non-yelly mistletoe hung from a couple spots in the bar, and there was great music for people to enjoy. All anyone had to do was show up and count down to 2023 with other people!

And maybe prepare for confetti at midnight. Sorry not sorry.

With your illustrious DJ, Steph!

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph was indeed here behind the DJ setup, and unabashedly grooving along with the music.

And occasionally trying and failing to talk shop with the zombie drummer.

And there would be Kitty, giving her a thumbs up from the floor.

And here was Vi standing around making calf's eyes at her like some kind of besotted security.

Bar

[throughaphase]

Tino is at the bar, serving your modded orders. And technically Jaye is too, but really she's just there to hand off beers.

Lounge

The mechanical bull has been moved here temporarily. It's wearing a Santa hat. Enjoy!

NYE Party- Back Room

NYE- Arrive and Mingle

[throughaphase]

There's a photo wall of lights (Kitty still thinks it's a terrible idea but it made Tino happy), a disco ball hanging from the ceiling, and a ton of moddable snacks and appetizers. There's a countdown on the tv on mute so you can count down while also listing to the music. There are also lights around the stripper pole. Nice touch, Tino.

Summer, of course, was there, dressed to impress, with a shamelessly moddable matching boyfriend on her arm, practically like another accessory that she would eventually be parting ways from as she flitted about like the little pink social party butterfly that she was wont to be.

And trying not to roll her eyes too hard about the lights.

It was New Years' Eve. If you thought Margo was going to be anywhere else but at the local party while getting totally blitzed out drunk, well, you didn't know Margo.

And yes, the skirt on her shiny black dress absolutely needed to be that short. "Let's kick this off with a Dark and Stormy to say fuck you to 2022, all right?"

Shunsui could have made it back here for the welcome picnic, but, after two weeks of having been back in the Soul Society and actually being a Captain of the esteemed Gotei 13, there was no way he was dragging himself up and through a portal that early. But he wasn't about to miss a party, especially one ringing in the New Year, and was able to muster up the energy to drag himself up and make it over to Caritas when things were in full swing.

Whether or not he'd stick around here or go flitting off to the mainland to diversify his party experience a little more was still to be determined, because while the mainland offered a multitude of new beautiful faces to appreciate, it did require a bit more effort, and that truly was the ultimate conundrum, was it not ♥?

[stykera]

Stark had considered not coming tonight but had decided that being here was better than being in his apartment. And, of course, his stylist had encouraged him with a very nice shirt.

So Stark had arrived, ordered a dirty snowman from Tino, and headed to the back room.

Ignis wanted to get a drink that was more in the spirit of the celebration, and was assured that the Kir Royale would be right up his alley. And it boded well,he felt, that he had not been steered wrongly.

And he'd managed to set a few helpful alarms on his phone to help him keep track of how far into the night they were and just how close to the moment they might be getting, although he suspected the energy and anticipation of the patrons would do a lot of heavy lifting for him in that regard, as well.

Rey actually liked New Year's a lot, though it really brought into focus how different things were from this time last year. But she wanted to be around people for it.

So she was reusing the sparkly top and pants from a NYE or two ago, and had gotten a Confetti Champagne that was definitely going to be nursed all night after discovering what Pop Rocks were.

[sword_chocobro]

It was Caritas, so Gladio did have a shirt on, but for how long was anyone's guess.

He also got the Dirty Snowman because it had the funniest name, to him.

He was, at time, truly a simple man.

[heroic_jawline]

Steve was still not really sure about his beard, and even less sure about the suit jacket, but both Tony and the weird French tailor had insisted it looked fine, so here he was, ready to be the designated walker for the evening.

Were mighty steeds allowed at New Years Eve parties? Graham sure hoped so, because he and Triumph were riding in, as casual as could be. Well, Triumph was. Graham was clearly brimming with excitement and very impressed with the decor and the ambiance, if the awed look on his face was any indication.

He'd never been to a New Years Eve party before! This was all quite the thrilling event!

Re: NYE- Arrive and Mingle

[justalittlerepressed]

Well, it wasn't that Eddie was anti-social, it was more that he had a kid and it wasn't exactly easy to go out without a reliable sitter.

Buck didn't count because he'd probably be the one going out along with him. Like a best friend did. Such as he did tonight!

"It doesn't look too crazy." He had not seen the lit up stripper pole yet.

Re: NYE- Arrive and Mingle

[notagoose]

Goose was there and much relieved to be at this New Years Eve party rather than having to do security at BETA Mountain’s party.

He was even dressed up, admittedly it was the same suit that he had worn last year courtesy of Doc but that was still an improvement for him.

Re: NYE- Arrive and Mingle

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

Jon was feeling...fairly well, and the concept of New Year's Eve wasn't nearly as fraught as some other holidays, so he was here. With a cider in hand and dressed...look, his clothes were clean and neat. He wasn't exactly the formalwear type.

Re: NYE- Arrive and Mingle

[two_idiots_one_body]

Oh, Arthur! Go that way! No, left! There are lights all over! John was enamored of the wall of lights.

Arthur just wanted a drink.

Re: NYE- Arrive and Mingle

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Even though he'd convinced Tino to put his drink in a much bigger glass than standard, it still looked comically small in Sidon's hand, but he didn't mind! He was just glad to be there and enjoy the party....and watch his head, to make sure he didn't accidentally wind up hitting it on the disco ball.

Re: NYE- Arrive and Mingle

[carbsliftthespirit]

Raiden had ordered one of each of the themed cocktails, because 1) Gluttony 2) YOLO, and now he had them lined up in front of him as he tried to decide which one to drink first. It was a surprisingly difficult decision. He was munching from a piled-high plate of snacks as he considered the problem.

NYE- Midnight

[throughaphase]

The countdown started and presumably at least some people counted down with it, and as midnight hit, the disco ball exploded into confetti. Don't ask too many questions. At least it's not glitter.

OOC

[throughaphase]

Open to students and adults alike!

I'll be going out tonight but ping here if you need anything!
