PRIDE TIME

PRIDE NIGHT!
Welcome to Enodia Pride Night 2023! Crysta has transformed the Space Between into the hottest club in Vermont to fully and correctly ring out the best month of the year, the LBGTQIA+ community, and the collective queerness and vibrance of the station. This is a space for expression! Shameless celebration! Make music, make noise, make mistakes, it's all love! The music (A VERY SPECIAL playlist) is loud, the lights are low until roving rainbow spotlights catch you, and a constant stream of rainbow glitter flows through the pride flags curtaining the walls. Thanks to Enoch, though, it's not actually contributing to pollution; just an illusion. Please don't worry about microplastics.

The vibe's a little messy, chaotic but warm. The bass beats loud and frantic, but its heartbeat undercurrent screams that as soon as you're through the door, you're home, whoever you are. Though obviously influenced by her party roots, Crysta did try to be aware of where she lives now (nerd city) and included overflow areas for people to celebrate a little more quietly if they so choose. And privately. Wink. Dress code is honestly whatever you feel comfortable in, but with the encouraged prerogative to look and feel drop dead hot. Ground rules are simple; just welcome each other how you'd like to be welcomed, look out for each other, and party hard. EVERYONE is invited! There've been (OOC) net announcements for several weeks now, and colorful fliers hanging everywhere. You CANNOT miss this.

DRINKS!

Along with normal bar selections there's some specialty cocktails including but not limited to:
THE JUICE with blue curacao, vodka lemonade and cranberry juice
BI-GLORY MOLE: Confusing as it is delightful. A frozen sprite, butterfly pea and rosella tea slushie with or without a shot of liquor of your choice
RAINBOW JELLO SHOTS which are plentiful and self explanatory
THE GINDERQUEER for the refined; sparkling lemon water,empress gin, little bit of lavender syrup

FOOD:
Oh. Shoot!
Crysta forgot about this until literally today and sold the commissary out of chips and snacks and basically hostage-situationed the chefs at Food Here to make enough sliders and miniature grilled cheeses and other party food at the eleventh hour. Maybe best to eat before you come.


VOLUNTEERS?

Zeke Zelizer and Volunteer B lock themselves in the closet for the kissing game...right as everyone else walks away to do something else. Beulah walked away to get another Juice so she doesn't automatically hear their panic after half an hour. Better get comfy! They'll be in there for at least 45 minutes.


Maximillian Hart does get comfy. Like. A little too comfy, and falls asleep in the corner of the bouncy house. Volunteers D and Volunteer E are trying to just get some bouncing in, but instead join in for a little nap break.


Zira Bailey knows how to WORK that stage and that pole and has so many bills thrown at them they make kind of a killing. Career change time?


Annie Song gets super annoyed at how slow the bar is and jumps behind it and gets roped in for an hour shift for their trouble.


Taby McLeod drinks one too many and is convinced there's glitter in their eye. They panic until Finn MacCool takes pity and dumps a water bottle into their eye to placebo-effect it out.


Volunteer J has a big time wardrobe malfunction but Volunteer K saves the day and drapes them in a VERY haute progress flag toga from the wall.It's a GOOD look.


Volunteer L's feet keep sticking to the floor. Like a lot. They cannot get out. Is this too much spilled jello? Is this that guy in Operations who can't control his weird sticky flytrap limb powers? Doesn't matter! Help!
LOCATIONS
It's very important today! Post your outfits! The people you came with! Your vibes! Also a good time to note that the moment you walk in there's a photobooth opportunity to take a selfie in case you want to preserve your lewk in the moment before it gets spilled on or messy. That's IMPORTANT.
Get a drink! Stay awhile. The bar staff received these specialty drink recipes less than 24 hours ago, but they're doing a great job. Everything is free!
Dance until you die! The carefully curated playlist booms through the night so there's not a lot of space for singing performances, but there's absolutely a slightly elevated stage area with a pole to dance on in case anyone feels Inspired. Otherwise, grab a partner, or just feel those beats and dance solo.
This is where some of the official/unofficial party games will take place, it's a cozy corner laden with bean bag chairs and pillows for a little breaktime area, cordoned off by a door made of tinsel. It's quieter, thanks to someone's muffling powers, and more well-lit. A great place to have actual conversations and get to know people better. Speaking of. Conveniently located right next to the corner is a maintenance closet big enough to fit two people at once. Hmmm...

Volunteer M loops in Beulah Stump, an Operations employee with the weird liminal power of locking doors for a certain amount of time. Time for a cheeky game of Unknown Number of Minutes in Hell Heaven!! A group of people begin to spin a beer bottle to tempt destiny and choose a partner for a good time in the closet. One problem. The closet is only supposed to lock for 7 minutes, but Beulah's honestly a lil tipsy and her power isn't very well-controlled right now. You could be stuck in there with your bottle partner for up to 30 minutes. (This is JJ's idea thank you JJ)

HOW IT WORKS: Post your character's name and the next ordered number in the fashion of 1) Crysta Waldinger in the subject line of a comment. In the body of your comment, please indicate how many times people you would like to be able to land on your character's number. (If someone has enough partners, just skip them and roll again!) When enough people have posted that you'd like to tempt fate, roll 1-(number of people there are) and then comment on the corresponding person's name. Also roll 1-30,which will determine how many minutes you'll be spending with that person and stick that in the comment too. This is still a place for enthusiastic consent! You don't have to kiss in the closet! Maybe it's a time for a nice chat.
Right outside the Space Between, there's a quieter area where people can go outside to have a little drink in even more silence underneath the beautiful manufactured sky. However, there's also a rainbow shaped bouncy house!
If you would like your performance graded, please fill out this form! The judges are two identical twin nurses from medical with synchronised movement powers so they know about Style. But in reality this is all RNG bb. There's an unknown terrible prize for the unofficial winner. Please do not bonk your head in order to win.
Questions, comments, concerns?

Oh no. Eden looks up at Sal, then down at the bottle, then up at Sal. Her strategy since The Big Think Tank Talk has been duly avoiding him, just to keep from having to explain the whole if-you-touch-me-smart-people-said-I-might-die thing, but that's easy to do without someone noticing if you aren't super close.

This situation, in public and drunk, makes that so weird. Although in her daily journaling she likes to philosophize about how NOTHING is weird, actually, right now it just is. It just is!!! Trying to look unbothered and sexy as her adrenaline spikes, she breathes out through her nose and smiles at him.

The second they're in the closet, though, she flattens her back against the wall.

"I can... throw your hand?" Hypatia, very slowly, looks down at the hand in her hand. Fascinating!!!! She examines it, still awkwardly wiggling her hips to the beat.

"Ohhh, but I don't want to hit anyone." She sounds a little disappointed that she is not going to get to throw a hand.

Rye responds by moving in a little so their shoulders touch. "Yeah, sure."

He knows Evan's been avoiding him ever since his fuckup mentioning the moles and all that. Maybe he should've checked in sooner, but he didn't. So here they area. "It's, uh, been a minute. You okay?"

Linus considers this. "What if ... they just like hot chocolate though. Or what if it's a brand of something! I wondered if it was a brand I didn't know maybe. Then it's not they're fault either and it just gets bigger." It's deep.

Evan admires his outfit for a moment and then reaches around to pull him into a brief embrace. “I’ll be better once you accept my apology for being such a dick to you.”

She frowns at him as she shoves her hands into the pockets of her overalls. “I didn’t mean to—“ She bites off the end of the sentence and fills the space between them with her silence. “Will you forgive me for being an asshole to you?”

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN VIDALIA STAND HIM?

[personal profile] enodiamod 2023-07-01 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Surprisingly, Jorgensborg and Vidalia seem to hit it off (93)! Whether she has obvious old soul energy or not, the man seems pleased to have a willing audience and speaks in his self-assured, self-aggrandizing manner to her at length. She talks to him (lets him talk at her?) longer than anyone else in the Station!

...Somehow, they end up with a secret handshake before parting ways.

While talking to Jorgensborg, Vidalia learns that some other IRIS agents have been reluctant to come to Enodia Station because of everything that's happened there in the last handful of months. He, however, isn't the type to turn his back when he's needed. She can tell some of her peers that if she wants to.

RAINBOW BOUNCY HOUSE: Raine & Enoch

[personal profile] imaginist 2023-07-01 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Without warning, the fans on the bouncy house spray a deluge of glitter, covering Raine, his phone and his plate of sliders. Unlike inside the bar, someone's put more effort into this effect, so Raine can enjoy the full sensory experience of being covered in obnoxious multicoloured microplastics.

Noah laughs, shaking his head, still finding this to be much more amusing in person. "What the hell kind of brand would 'hot chokky' be? Jesus. And only a four year old who likes hot chocolate would call it that. You're giving this mystery weirdo too much credit."

After a moment, he nods to the jello shots in Linus's hand. "You should have another one."

"Okay, but is the making out part of the metaphor?" Zeke runs his hands through his hair and down his face, because his hands are sweaty and it feels like time is moving so slow right now oh god how long has it even been?? "I don't— I never went to Sunday school, I don't know these things."

"I mean..." Yes, technically, although as Sal scopes the bar again, his choices tonight are standing around bored or hearing what Noah wants. He's never been good at keeping idle. "Nah. My friends are kinda doing their own thing."

He had seen her kick that mole, and remembers their strength in that. Without any further questioning of faith, he sort of jumps at Taby ungracefully.

[personal profile] artificialgravity 2023-07-01 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Rye exhales and drapes his long, lanky arms around Evan, pulling her back into the hug. "Ev, c'mon. I wasn't even mad in the first place." He ducks his head, and quickly plants a clumsy kiss on the top of her head. "Sorry for not taking, like, your shit seriously."

"These," Linus holds up the two remaining shots, "Are for sharing." He holds it as an offer. "Doing jello shots solo is sad."

QUIET CORNER: Rhodes n Lou

[personal profile] quickpickled 2023-07-01 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
"The shirt was first." He admits, "I found it at a thrift store and then I thought I should probably come by." This is not entirely the truth and hides that Rhodes actually would've felt just a little left out if he hadn't come at all.

At the request, though, he scoots a respectful distance down the bench. "Don't. You can stay." It is, after all, just a chair. He holds his hands in his lap very casually (sorta) to prove this.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN LINUS STAND HIM?

[personal profile] enodiamod 2023-07-01 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Surprisingly, Jorgensborg and Linus also hit it off (96)! Apparently, he's popular with the youngsters and his willingness to throw back jello shots only helps in that regard. While the man is as boisterously overconfident as ever and dominates the conversation to talk about himself whenever he's given the opportunity, he's got a lot of interesting things to say and will answer most any question Linus has about...well, most things. He likes to hear himself talk.

In trying to glean some of the man's history, Linus learns that he was here when the Station opened and worked diligently in Research for some time before also branching out into being an Explorer, though it didn't last long. He talks around the reason for his dismissal so naturally that Linus doesn't realize he'd avoided the topic until they've already parted ways.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN RHODES STAND HIM?

[personal profile] quickpickled 2023-07-01 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Wow. What a man of widely varied opinions and thoughts. Rhodes is only one little man, and if someone can ferment-flirt, of course he's weak. He leaves the buttons unbuttoned, and fiddles with them thoughtfully throughout the evening. Maybe they will.

"I never came out, I just started seeing bones." And, you know, the rest just follows from there right??

But his hands are sweaty again. This is so fucking stupid, he's 32 years old, clammy hands and flippy stomachs are for fucking teenagers. "You d— you seriously don't have to. I'm the only one 'round who can perv on y'all in here, Beulah don't know shit."

Sal isn't sure why he's doing this, aside from his friends being here. It'd seemed pretty funny when he was watching this from the outside, and he's in a chill enough mood tonight that he isn't bothered by the possibility of getting locked in with any gender. (He might be trying to prove a point to himself, but swiftly terminates that line of thought before it leads to any realizations.) Anyway, it's just a game, right?

He rapidly regrets his impulse decision the moment Eden's bottle lands on him. Eden's cute as hell, but bro code dictates that Sal not kiss a girl his best friend has a crush on. He should turn her down, except he doesn't know how to do that without seeming like a jerk, and now Eden's already getting up, and Beulah's at the closet door, and um, shit, okay, they're doing this.

"Hey," Sal says, as several seconds of awkward silence ticks by. "Rye thinks you're pretty cool."
