WHO Everyone
WHAT Post-death, post-trauma, post-excitement party to blow off some steam for everyone on the base
WHEN Forward-dated to Saturday June 16th (night)
WHERE Leisure rooms, etc (if people wander off).
RATING Please mark your threads if they start to veer into mature territory

In the wake of the tragedies at Limbo, the party had seemed extremely trivial – maybe even a little inappropriate. But since everything had already been ordered, and people seemed to need something to cheer them up now more than ever, Amber and Chloe had forged ahead, and spent the entire Saturday decorating, preparing, baking, and arranging. By the time they were done with the leisure rooms, they were decked out with multi-coloured lights and cheeky neon signage, tables overflowing with snacks, baked goods, soda and water bottles, tubs full of ice that were brimming with all kinds of liquor, and speakers blasting decidedly very upbeat music meant to inspire fellow residents to shake off their troubles (if possible) and dance.

C1 (the entertainment room) skewed blue and purple. The gaming consoles were left hooked up, in case anyone wanted to get into some drunk Mario Kart battles in-between all the massive amounts of tasty snacks set up around the room. C2 (the movie theatre) had films set up for the entire night and a table full of beer and coolers prepared inside -- people would be able to happily enjoy Animal House, The Hangover, 21 Jump Street, Wedding Crashers, Oldschool and Superbad into the wee hours of the morning. C3 (the old fashioned game room) leaned towards a red motif -- all kinds of low lighting and much gentler music to allow people to talk and enjoy mellower company. And, of course, there remained plenty of floor space in case anyone decided to break out Twister. C4 (activity suite) was transformed into the closest thing to a club they could manage within their means and had the most impressive speaker system, leaving plenty of room for people to dance. C5 (the laser tag room) was decked out for karaoke -- assuring that anyone who wanted to embarrass themselves in public absolutely could, all with the benefit of some beautiful, bright yellow spotlights.

[OOC: this is posted ahead to give you more time to play the event out before it passes in real time. Everyone who lives, works, etc. at the facility would be able to stop into this thing at any point. Have fun!]

I don’t need to be hitting anything harder just yet.

Jade grinned. “Yeah, this might not be the best night for that.” Besides, it was probably best for the volatility of this place (or at least its propensity for volatility) that there were a few people hanging around not getting hammered for the sake of it. There were always the handlers, but the ratio of them to inebriated Supers? Not a good horse to bet on.

She nodded as she retrieved a couple of beers from one of the tubs filled with ice. There weren’t many bottles left, and Jade wasn’t too sure how many refills the girls who’d prepared this thing had accounted for.

Handing one over to Kelly, Jade settled in by leaning against the nearby wall. “Probably good that they do. I just hope none of them have to deal with training in the morning.” She couldn’t help but grin. “Although now I may have to teleport into Ruby’s room first thing and pretend that she’s late for a session or something.”

Very few people knew about Kelly's ability to influence emotions, her pheromone powers were kept entirely under wraps -she didn't like the possibility that all of her work could be undone just because someone with a grudge found out she was a super and got the real criminals she'd put away out because of her genetics. It meant not slipping up around too many people and this was a lot of people, clearly in need of time to just unwind.

"Some of us need to be conscious enough to get people to beds I suppose." Which Kelly didn't mind, not really. She had a caregiving streak that wasn't limited to just Chloe, it was just that her attention had been exceptionally narrow lately.

Sipping the beer, casually taking in their surroundings, Kelly grinned broadly at Jade's idea, "Now that is a sisterly prank that might get you both in the infirmary. Doesn't your sister have flight and telekentic powers? That's a good way to get an alarm clock thrown at your skull, Jade."

With a wry smile, Jade hung her head and laughed softly to herself. “Getting people to bed tonight,” she ran her hand through her loose, wavy hair. “That’s going to be an adventure. Maybe we can tag-team that? Instead of being DDs, we’ll have our own, off-colour, Regiment version? Designated Bedtime Wranglers?”

Jade spread her arms out and shrugged. That kind of prank might have ended catastrophically or resulted in a suite-wide prank war, but it might be completely worth it. “That she does,” Jade agreed. “And a morning person she is not.”

Scratching the side of her head, Jade pushed off from the wall and moved slightly as a girl stopped nearby to them, looking very tired, and frankly ready to throw up.

“Maybe. But I’m a teleporter, remember? Just keep bouncing around the room. Or creating portals for the alarm clocks and shoes to just go sailing into Theo or Avery’s rooms.”

Sometimes it was just needed; the blowing off steam, the chilling out, the enjoyment of a night, and sometimes people just weren't ready for that. Kelly didn't mind taking it slow so that she could help out if someone really needed to let loose. If she and Jade were both of that mindset and opted to just make sure that their team mates and fellow agents got safely to their beds, the so be it.

"Is anyone really a morning person?" Kelly knew she wasn't, she'd had to tolerate it for work, and because Rockfort was definitely a morning cat.

The sheer notion of telekinetic/portal assaults on the team, provided they weren't at Kelly or Chloe, was bringing a smirk to Kelly's face. "That could be an interesting wake up call, like tag with a twist."

“I do okay with earlier mornings,” she admitted. “We were campers, and when you’re out in the woods… daybreak is usually the best time to catch fish.” Were campers, like all of that was in the past. In many ways, it was; she and Ruby had to wait for the express approval of people in charge of their entire lives to do something so simple, something they loved.

Jade whistled shook her head. “Ooh, don’t tempt me. Otherwise you might get an early rise thanks to a whole lot of angry shouts.”

And it might not be great for overall team morale. Though, truthfully, their entire group was comprised of people who mainly had good senses of humour.

“Might end up with quite a prank war on our hands.”

There were times at home when there was little option but to get up early, especially when Chloe was little and Louis was a terror. Kelly hadn't ever minded dealing with a fussy toddler in the morning while their mom dealt with Louis and yelled at Matt to get the hell outta bed before he missed the bus. It was busy and lived in and family. It got a whole lot different after college, and her days off, Kelly just lay in bed until the cat refused to allow her to put off feeding him any more.

"I can see how you'd get into that though, camping is probably a lot more involved than being hungover and captive." Because even camping, Kelly would not be getting out of her bed if she was hungover. "I'm gonna be sleeping with earplugs in then." Because angry shouts were the worst wake up.

But the idea of a prank war, with the group, so long as it wasn't mean. "Well... There's not really anything wrong with a little fun."

“Usually,” Jade agreed. “Although, when you’re fourteen and you just want to go to the movies and you’re dragged out to the middle of the woods to sit under a tree for a week, it can really feel like being held captive.”

She smirked. “I’ll reimburse you if you have to shell out money for earplugs. Might be worth it in general, anyway. I’m waiting for the doomed day we get a real wall-shaking snorer.”

Jade was glad that Kelly didn’t totally object to the whole mini prank-war thing. So long as things stayed mostly friendly, of course.

The girl next to her, leaning against the wall, began slumping. Her head fell on Jade’s shoulder and she was struggling to keep her footing, mumbling something about pie as she wrapped her arms around Jade’s waist.

There would be a day it would likely come to that, or someone would just be reaching the end of their tether with other people and what they did. Little habits would be big issues to people, they'd be fed up dealing with those little quirks and there'd be an explosion.

It was why blowing off steam like this was probably a great idea. Kelly was really rather proud of Chloe and Amber for pulling it off. "The day will come." Maybe sooner than later, although thankfully their suite was full right now.

At the girl to Jade's side started snuggling in for the night, Kelly laughed, swallowing the remainder of her drink. "You wanna take her upstairs, or you want me to?" Because someone definitely needed to sleep it off.

The girl leaning against Jade became suddenly very alert, looking towards Kelly with big, glassy, wide eyes. “Blueberry!” Then, she slumped against Jade’s shoulder again and looked ready to fall asleep right where she stood. Or, rather, right where she leaned.

In order to keep her balanced, Jade put an arm around the girl’s torso and fought to keep them both upright. Unable to help herself, she shot Kelly a bemused grin and shook her head. “That one mean anything to you?”

She shook her head. “It’s okay, I’ll find out where her room is. I have a handy way of getting her where she’s going in a snap.” Jade had a good feeling the portal service was going to be a well-used one tonight.
