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!]

"It's a Saturday." She chuckled. "You're at a party... your'e off duty." Jo looped an arm around his as she walked with him. "You gotta let loose... live a little. You guys deserve it as much as we do. All the work you do."

Eventually they grabbed some waters and found a spot to sit just as it was being vacated by two others. She cracked the bottle and took a long drink, her body thanking her. She nudged his leg with her foot.

"Hard to switch off sometimes," Noah admitted as he took a seat at the opposite end of the couch that had just been vacated by two others. "But whoever arranged this party definitely needs congratulating. It's really nicely done and exactly what everybody needed."

Noah took a sip from his water, his body not thanking him as much as Jo's but then he wasn't a big drinker. Didn't really need it to have dutch courage or become social, that was just who he was on the whole.

"It's been a rough couple of months."

Jo's drinking was spurned by other things- or had been. Now she'd gotten to enjoy those brief moments of numbness it gave her. At least until her body filtered the toxins and sobered her up.

When he sat at the opposite end of the couch she scooted closer to him, a leg pulled under her so she could still face him. "It has. So many 'incidents', so many transfers." The transfers are what had hit Jo hard. Though she'd met Darcy once and knew her brother so that was a painful loss, death was final. Knowing that her sister was out there somewhere she wasn't sure, or how she was after having gotten her back in her life for such a short time was a stab in the heart. She wanted to think she'd gotten over it, but she was still having nightmares of things happening to her, which didn't help when it was that or dreams of her times with Bear. Still, she played those cards pretty close to the vest- or numbed them with alcohol.

"How are you with everything?" She asked, reaching out to place a hand on his arm. Jo had no idea how or if he'd personally been impacted by any of the recent events.

Noah scrubbed both hands through his hair and left his hands which were now linked together atop of his head before turning it to look at Jo. "Aside from a lot of work I'm okay actually. I'm in the fortunate position that I didn't really know either agent that died but I can sympathise with those who lost somebody you know?"

It definitely seemed like Limbo could do and deserved with a break.

"It's a rough time for everybody involved."

She nodded. “Between the increased transfers recently and the accidents and losses.” Jo stretched, her shirt rising a bit exposing her firm petite abdomen and then leaned back on the couch. “But at least you’re keeping busy.” She has been working out and drinking mostly, which wasn’t the best combo for her, especially since her favorite sparing partner had transferred. “I’m sorry I haven’t helped out in the garage recently...” it would probably keep her out of trouble. Not that others weren’t getting into so much more trouble than she was. Granted there had been a few times she’d areived at training not quite sober yet. She wasn’t sure if her handler had noticed.
