Steph's New Years Eve Party Who: Steph, Jayna, Donna, and Kyle NPCs: Steph's Mom, Zan When: 31 December 2009 Where: Steph's House What: Steph throws a New Year's Eve BBQ. Yes, it's odd, but she felt like it. Rating: PG, I assume, but fundamentally TBA. Notes: Usual drill for party threads. Start subthreads as you like, be in multiple if you like. Also, since you'll be seeing Steph's place for the first time, it's a small house out in the Gotham suburbs. There's makeshift gymnastic equipment in the backyard. People who notice such things will see this is the house of people who don't have much money, and that there are no signs of Steph's dad.
Steph was a whirlwind of energy! She was going to see her school friends and her hero friends and it was all going to be awesome! Steph was a strong believer in food-based hospitality. She'd been marinating the ribs since yesterday and found some good roasted veggie recipes for Johanna and there was potato salad and raspberry pie and all kinds of other things. If nothing else, they were going to eat really well.
Her mother had good-naturedly retreated to the kitchen, where she'd been banished after repeated promises not to do anything MOM-LIKE and EMBARRASSING.
Strange as it was to do a BBQ in the winter, it wasn't a bad night for it. Fairly mild, all things considered, and between her winter clothes, the heat of the barbecue, and her constant running around, she was quite comfortable. She had her hair pulled back in a loose pony tail as she checked the sweet potatoes on the grill.
