Stark Industries, Friday Night
Steve had let Tony do the decorating for the party tonight, so there was no chance at all that anyone walking through town wouldn't see that there was a party at the renovated Stark…Mini Tower? Tallish Building?
There was a red carpet (because that's what all of the galas Tony and Steve were invited to had) on the sidewalk outside that led to the open glass doors, through the renovated shop area (with a sign pointing out that the new second floor maker space would be available to anyone in the mood to invent whose name wasn't Beaker), and to the elevator that would take them to the third floor ballroom.
Because, much to Steve's chagrin, they had a ballroom that took up almost an entire floor. Enormous windows filled the room with light from outside and offered a pretty view of the castle. The walls were decorated with enlarged, professionally matted and framed drawings of the Avengers that kids had sent to them over the years (and a Jackson Pollock Tony was trying to pass off as a picture of Wanda and Scott made by a small child. Steve was letting him get away with it).
There was a stage across from the windows with space for Steph's DJ equipment (and also room for the small-ish non-zombie orchestra for when Steph took breaks. The stage had looked much smaller on the blueprints when Steve had approved them.) and the dance floor was spread out before it. A Chihuly glass sculpture hung over it in Iron Man colors of gold and red. (Tony was Tony.)
Silent waitstaff were passingmoddable high-end appetizers, but because Steve could spend his entire night eating passed appetizers and still be hungry, there was more substantial food just off to the side of the dance floor.
The room--and the couple welcoming you--was a mixture of the practical, the beautiful, and the casual misunderstanding of just what things cost. Welcome to the new Stark…Towerlet? Was that a thing? Steve and Tony were so glad you came.

For a minute there she had been worried she had overdressed but, nope, if there was one thing she could count on it was for Tony to be over the top.

Re: Arrive and Mingle
And you'd think she'd be used to this level of opulence and extravagance, considering she'd lived part-time in Seven Tower for over a year, but -- nope, still stupidly impressed, and it was all over her face as she looked around.

Re: Arrive and Mingle
But, more importantly to Irene -- if you knew to look for it, there was a neat little blue steel clip in the shape of two criss-crossed maces at the base of her neck, pushing her hair over one shoulder in pretty waves, and that designer was, of course, much more important to her than any label on any dress anywhere.
But never mind any of that -- Irene was half-tempted to take out her mobile to take pictures of this place, it was so beautiful, but how tacky would that be? (Better to sneak some later when fewer people might see!)

Re: Arrive and Mingle
Amaya would also consider it somewhat of a miracle that the dress she showed up in could, by some description, even be considered a bit pink, but, hey, the whole gala thing was already out of her comfort zone, at least the cut of the sleeves was a style she felt more comfortable in than some of those other dresses she'd tried. She might not even feel tempted to have to pull and adjust it all night!

Re: Arrive and Mingle
Oh well.
"Holy moly," he was murmuring as he took in not only the carpet, but also the surroundings, and like -- okay, dude, be cool. He'd never actually been to an Avengers party, but, like, he could act like he did this sort of thing all the time, right?

Either way, he was all dressed up in his nice (and versitile!) black suit and was going to try to just enjoy a nice out at a fancy party without checking his phone for updates every five seconds.
He'd try to go at least ten seconds between checks!

He did know that Amaya had made the mask with its Damascus steel accents. Did that count?

Re: Arrive and Mingle
Besides, he, too, rather enjoyed dressing up, and perhaps may have indulged a little with a new cane to offset the whole look...while also being very functionally valuable for making his way around.

... Wearing a scruffy white button-up with a nondescript black jacket and his usual pants, but, you know.
(No, he hadn't changed after class, why would he?)

He wasn’t all that sure about socialising but it had been a while since he’d worn his suit and he was trying to make an effort.

Re: Drinks!
And, of course, flanking her, one on each side, were elegantly stylized signs featuring the drink specials for the evening:
And, of course, as mentioned, the bar was well stocked, so your lovely bartender for the evening will be happy to get anything else for you, as well!

Re: Dance!
She was set up behind the turntables and dancing (like a dork) along with the music, and yes, she'd totally take requests!
...if she judged your musical tastes at all, she'd keep that to herself too.
And yes, of course her playlist for the night was jam-packed with as many queer artists as she could come up with, because what else did you expect from her during Pride month? Seriously.
