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!]

Outside Leisure Rooms | Jade + Kelly

“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.
