Stark Tower Writ Small - Birthday Bash - Thursday Evening

[imafuturist]

The ballroom was all done up in appropriately red, white, and blue bunting. Because bunting felt very Steve if you asked Tony. And Tony was the one picking the decorations for this one. Sorry, Steve.

There were a few fireworks themed chandeliers set up in the center of the room to drive home the celebration as well. And a wide selection of foods that Steve liked most. So all the foods. It was all the foods, but straight-forward stuff (burger bar, taco bar, hot dog bar, ice cream sundae bar with a chocolate fountain (because who didn't want a chocolate fountain on their birthday?)), and not appetizer portions. And pie! Either because Steve liked pie or because Tony thought it was hilarious.

Or both.

And after all of that, there would be a birthday cake with a truly obnoxious number of candles and a 'fireworks' show that was visible from the ballroom windows if you didn't want to brave a trip to the roof. It was actually a drone show because Tony was Tony. And the noise would be something else if they did actual fireworks.

Gawk at the chandeliers, admire the bunting. Consider how fun a word 'bunting' is.

The best thing about this slew of parties going on right now was that it provided Summee with endless opportunities to dress up and look cute. And while she had considered leaning into the red, white, and blue theme she was pretty sure this bash was going to have, she decided to stay thematic in her own signature style instead.

Really, did the party need more RW&B? Come on.

"Summer! Tony said with a bright smile. "You started a trend, it seems. After the party drought, we've been inundated."

"Summer!" Steve said with a bright, welcoming smile. "I'm glad you made it."

"Hi," Stark said softly, walking up.

"New dress? It's...very nice."

Kitty, somewhat predictably, was wearing blue today.

And much more predictably, looking for the chandelier as soon as she git there.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[heroic_jawline]

"Hi, Kitty!" Steve said, also in blue.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[imafuturist]

"Kitty!" Of course Tony was happy to see her out and about.

Liliana had also eschewed the traditional colors (did she know they were nods to anything more than Tony and Steve's signature colors? Almost certainly not), but she was in something modern to celebrate. A sharp suit seemed just the thing after Steve and Tony's excellent showing at the engagement party. She'd had several other suit options, some over lingerie and even one without a top at all, just the jacket, but since it was Steve's birthday, she'd gone for this look instead. You're welcome, Steve.

Everybody else? Blame Steve.

"Are you certain we can't run away together?" Tony said, whistling his appreciation for her outfit.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[heroic_jawline]

"You came!" Steve exclaimed, leaning in for a hug.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[stykera]

"Liliana," Stark said, nodding a hello.

"I like the suit."

It was different and she looked good, as always.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Don was fully aware that Liliana was taken--he'd recently been at her engagement party, after all--and kind of scary (but maybe that was part of the appeal?) but a lady like that in a suit like that deserved at least a second look. He would imagine she was expecting it.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Stark probably should have consulted with his stylist about the evening but he looked acceptable, he was fairly sure, with a blue silk shirt and a light pair of pants.

The chandeliers got an appreciative look, of course. They always did.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[heroic_jawline]

"Hello, Stark!" Steve said with a smile. "I'm glad you could make it."

Color themes only mattered to Ignis insofar as his own outfit choices were aligned well with Liliana's, and with her eschewing her collection of gowns for a sharp and delightfully textured suit this evening, Ignis' own focus was on complimenting but not distracting from the all-too-well-deserved spotlight.

And he couldn't wait to hear all about the chandeliers.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[ifwebeworthy]

Don wouldn't miss this for the world!

Okay, he would miss part of this, for reasons, but the earlier part of the evening? That was his.

Lydia was unsure of how formal an event this was, but, well, it was being held in a ballroom and she had canceled Supper Club for the week lest it conflict. She had so few opportunities to wear her red evening dress; she was going to grab the ones she had with both hands.

Raiden arrived carrying an unconscious Gray over his shoulder fireman-style. Whether or not Gray would wake up in time for cake was anybody's guess, but, well. Here they were.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[ifwebeworthy]

At some point in the evening, before the cake and the drone show, Don quietly slipped out of the party, and a few minutes later lightning struck the tower. That was probably fine.

Shortly thereafter, Thor made his fashionably late entrance.

Food/Drinks

[imafuturist]

The aforementioned assortment of foods were at the ready and the drinks were appropriately themed.

Bomb Pop Cocktail
Blueberry Jam Spritz
Birthday Cake Shot

Would anyone who knew Steve be surprised to find him with a plate that had two cheeseburgers, a taco, and a hot dog on it, and a hot dog halfway to his mouth? Probably not, huh.

Dance Floor

[imafuturist]

Feel free to go for a dance! The DJ was playing a mix of modern music and some songs from the 1930s and 40s for the birthday boy.

Fireworks!

[imafuturist]

Or, well, 'fireworks'. Easier on the animals on the island, after all.

OOC

Aw yeah
