Cameron’s mama has found somewhere else to be tonight, so the kids have the run of the house. As with parties Cameron has held in the past, the rules are simple: have fun, don’t make too much of a mess, if you break something reparo it, and don’t try to get into any of the locked rooms (the master bedroom, office, and recording studio).

There are heavy hors d'oeuvres in the first floor kitchen, and plenty of alcohol - beer, liquor, wine, you name it. The house is decked out in Vegas/gambling themed decorations like giant foam dice and playing card garlands.

♠ FOYER; ARRIVING

Cameron is there to greet each and every person that arrives, and also hand them a small purple drawstring sack with “CARNEY’S AWESOME NYE PARTY 2013” embroidered in gold thread. Inside are 100 (faux) gold tokens with CC on one side and Cameron’s face on the other.

The purpose of the tokens becomes apparent once you get to the living room, which has been turned into a CASINO! There are a few slot machines, as well as the standard games (black jack, poker, etc).

If your character would like to play, let us know below and we’ll RNG to let you know how much you won or lost. Characters are welcome to play until they go bust - but if your character loses all their money, they won’t get to redeem their winnings at the prize wall. Who wants to be the only person without a mustache ring and a guitar eraser?

IC, the NYE King/Queen will be crowned at midnight, honoring the attendee who managed to win the most. OOC, we’ll keep RNGing for you until 11:59 PM Eastern Time on 1/1, after which I’ll announce the winner.

The theater room is set up with comfy couches and a screen the size of the wall. Tonight, there’s also speakers and a microphone hooked up. Karaoke time! The Carneys are fans of all kinds of music, so feel free to sing whatever you want!

Temperatures are hovering right above freezing tonight - but that’s downright balmy compared to Gooseberry winters! Plus, the saltwater pool is magically heated, so jump on in, the water feels great!

If you don’t want to drink or gamble or play party games, why are you even here? Just kidding - Cameron just wants everyone to have a good time. So if you just want to hang out and chat, that’s okay too.

Party-goers looking for some games should head up to the the second floor living room (quaintly referred to as the parlor despite its impressive footprint). There will be truth or dare (rules), kissing games, and never have I ever (rules).

It’s STB/7MIH time again! There’s even a linen closet for Seven Minutes in Heaven. It’s roomy.

Near midnight, Cameron encourages everyone to stop what they’re doing and come outside, where champagne and sparklers are handed out. The fireworks start about ten minutes til, crescendoing during the countdown, with a big finale at midnight.

After that, the NYE Queen/King is announced: Ennis Harper, with a total of 181 coins.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to stay, but it’s up to you to figure out where, because Cameron isn’t organizing it. There are five unlocked bedrooms, including Cameron’s (and you’re welcome to sleep with him in his kingsize bed! … but he’s six and a half feet tall and flops). There are also plenty of couches and chairs, five full baths, and lots of floor space. Work it out.

Who’s hungover and where did you puke?
