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.

"Noooo...." Zee drags the word out, "Because that would be irrational and stupid." If she repeats it enough out loud, eventually it would be true.

"If only we can all be as wise as you, babe." Zee laments with a soft sigh for the dramatics. The soft glow pulsating from her skin brightens just a smidge, turning a warm orange. "Thanks."

"I for one am glad." Zee announces and gives her friend a quick half-hug with her free hand, "Cole doesn't count because he's family."

Thomasin returns the half hug. "Hey, if you're in the mood to dance, you should find other me out there. She's tearing it up."

Minty whips around, nearly sloshing her drink everywhere, sure someone has yelled for her. But even though she's three sheets to the wind there's still a single working brain cell left to remind her that Noah is the only one who gets to call her that. "NOAH!"

She abandons the person she's talking to without so much as a word, bolting towards the sound of his voice. When she reaches Noah she's out of breath and is happy to cling to his side to steady herself. "Noisy," Minty admonishes, but she's grinning.

Max looks down at the twenty dollar bill and back up at his orca-interested-friend. He recognizes him, but he can't remember his name. He's bad with names, and with remembering where his phone and his glasses are (the latter is fine, he notes, as he pushes them up the bridge of his nose).

"Uh! Fan. Definitely fan. Isn't it fascinating behavior?"

[personal profile] buffdebuff 2023-07-03 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Maximilian could opt for something like 'hi, what's your name?', but after a solid minute of silence spent twitching in the light of his own tangerine aura, he blurts, "What's your favorite Star Trek series?"

Zeke leans in closer, the tips of his fingers walking the bar toward Max's arm. "It's the fish on a face phenomenon all over again," he says, his idea of dirty talk after spending a week with an extremely charismatic marine biologist. "'Cept, like, this one's gonna end with us all dead 'n' shit."

Milo hums absently along with the scolding, head bobbing agreeably and attention fully on the rainbow-hued plastic monstrosity they're standing next to. It's - Gosh, it really is perfect. What a genius and not at all potentially life-threatening idea.

"Uh-huh," she says, also absently, and when she turns to face him it's with a half-startled little huff of laughter. "I think they only require you to take off your shoes, Noah."

"YES!" Max says, throwing his hands in enthusiasm, enough to accidentally smack Zeke's hand away. "Like. A fad! I don't know that much about marine life, actually, but it's fascinating. Animals being that smart is-" He struggles to articulate what, exactly, it is, because he's well and truly inebriated. But he's enthusiastic about it. "Did you know that killer whales are dolphins? Well, they're still whales. Because dolphins are whales. But not all whales are dolphins. Like squares and rectangles."

Unlike the vast majority of people here, Maximilian actually does know Eden - which is, frankly, awful. Something about the evening made him forget he's not a peer pressured teen and he can, in fact, say 'no thank you' to his spin --- and anyway, wouldn't that be rude? It would. So here he is, a boy standing in front of a girl, asking, "If you were a character in Dungeons and Dragons, what would your class and alignment be?"

"I will." Zee promises with a warmer smile than any of the ones before. "This you should also have some fun."

Zeke might be getting in over his head with this conversation. If there's one thing he should know better than, it's to try and keep up with an excited nerd when he's a full dumbass high school dropout. But... this guy smells nice and Zeke is a weak, weak man.

"Okay, no, I didn't— that was not in my knowledge, but I know about, uh," he sips at his drink and says the first cetacean-related thing that comes to his mind. "Genital buzzing."

Enoch can't help it, he laughs at the mental image of dryly delivering a queer sex history eulogy for his little sister. The shots are having an effect. "The last thing I want is for people to share a single personal detail during my funeral. Everyone getting maudlin and lying about how wonderful I was? Sickening."

He's being flippant, but this conversation is drifting into serious territory. Time to course correct.

He leans forward, staring at the two shots like he might able to divine their molecular structure if only he looks hard enough. "Which of these is more drinkable? For your information, I have lie detection powers now." (It's not quite that straightforward, but Crysta doesn't know that yet.)

[personal profile] bwnedpronouncedboned 2023-07-03 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Zeke doesn't even know how to put into words the things roiling in his head. There's his deeply ingrained fear of being perceived, his history of fleeing at the first signs of comfort and attraction, there's... all the alcohol. So he tries to push it down, to squash it under his boots.

"Taby bit me," he laughs, though it's a little more dry and dark than mirthful. "NOT in a sexy way."

"...But I'm still glad I came." He says, maybe out of the blue, but he is. "Everyone's happy." The fact that he hopes Lou also is, no matter what's happening, is maybe unspoken.

There's definitely a part of Zeke's brain that's still trying to save him from himself. Like, it would be perfectly acceptable to pull out his phone and ask Crysta for help drafting horny messages. Acceptable AND normal, in fact, assures that little voice in the back of his mind.

But Zeke doesn't like to listen to that part of his brain. That guy's into stability and maintaining his mental health, and Zeke doesn't fuck with that.

"I mean, I'm always fear-filled, but." He looks to the door. It's been so long since they came in here. So long. And Beulah... might not even be there anymore. That doesn't look like her bones on the other side of the wall, and that person is definitely asleep anyway. He offers the non-bitten side of his neck toward Crysta. "Looks like we got time. Wanna even a girl out?"
