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?

Lenz will give this 3 chances and he'll even be a good sport and pretend he's stuck too.

VIBE CHECK! Dorin Lee

[personal profile] dorinlee 2023-06-30 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Dorin has spent a lot of today worrying. Worrying about what to wear, worrying about what he'll do at the party, worrying about whether he'll mess up. But! He's here! And he's hopeful and looking forward to spending a memorable night with friends; he's never been to a Pride party before. He'll be taking lots of photos and selfies with people. ♥

He shows up wearing a suit jacket decorated with a scattering of bright, tiny roses and shorts of the same material. They've maybe been shortened for the occasion after Rory's confusing informative lesson yesterday! Under the jacket he's wearing a sheer teal top, though he intends to keep his jacket on and closed. He's also wearing a rose earring, a simple silver chain, and sneakers with a floral design.

Dorin will probably go into the closet 1 time and then lose his nerve.

THIS IS SO EXCITING AND SO CUTE

Isaiah and Rye will both be around! Rye's getting shitfaced and hoping that when everyone's also drunk he'll seem less awkward! Isaiah's done some Medical Math so that he can do a little drinking and make some bad decisions.

If anyone specifically wants either of them lmk!! I'll try to also put up opens.

VIBE CHECK! Isaiah

[personal profile] stgermaine 2023-06-30 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Isaiah is in what seems to be good spirits. There are multiple stressors weighing on his mind (Annie, Evan, moles, Eden-Willy, Ernestine) but he's decided that maybe, just for one night, he can let all of that slide. He makes a noble effort to just have fun.

He's rolled up his sleeves* and even skipped wearing a tie, which for Isaiah is quite bold.

*These muscles are nowhere to be seen on actual character.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN YOU STAND HIM?

[personal profile] enodiamod 2023-06-30 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The infamous Dr. Colin Jorgensborg is here and making himself an inescapable presence. He's a boisterous blowhard keen to talk (mostly about himself) and confident enough to approach anyone with a drink and a conversation-starter.

Fill out the form below to see what kind of conversation your character has with him and if they hear anything interesting! Maybe someone will even go back to the Residential Building with him...

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN RORY STAND HIM?

[personal profile] coulee 2023-06-30 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
NAME: rory (ex-)beau fairfax
CONNECTION: 10 (as a lay) + -8 (as a person) = 2. they dated hot'n'heavy for six months, albeit over four years ago, so rory may know him best among the PCs. 0:)
STRATEGY: he's feeling very hot and capable and wants to prove to himself that if he talks to his ex, he won't feel so low that he wants to make the Big Mistake with him. also, he wants colin to absorb the knowledge of how hot and capable and good he's doing. it's SO hot and capable and good!!!!
INTOXICATION: 7.5
ANYTHING ELSE?: rory will not be making a big mistake as both lou and rufus talked him out of the idea.

Is locking yourself in a closet a good idea if you have a thing about locked spaces? No!

3, but open to planned things, too, vs just random.

Lou & OPEN

[personal profile] loudon 2023-06-30 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
At some point, Lou is accidentally handed two Bi-Glory Moles and is too polite to correct the hard-working bartenders when they look so busy already (he's worked in customer service! he doesn't want to be the kind of guy they all complain about later!). Instead, he just wanders around the area with a drink in each hand until he comes across someone looking empty-handed.

"D'you like slushies?" he asks, offering them the drink.

VIBE CHECK! Taby

[personal profile] misapplied 2023-06-30 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi!!! Taby loves Pride and they're having a great time! They show up right on time, stay way too late, and probably drink wayway too much, but they're living their life. Dressing slutty is not super in their wheelhouse, but they are wearing this fringed romper with a neck kerchief and cowboy boots, so that's fun.

Raine shows up a little late, but he does show up. He manages to shake a little of his usually melancholy off for the evening and have a pretty good time. He did not wear the turtleneck but has shown up an in equally insane outfit in these rainbow tie dye jeans and this rainbow tie dye sweatshirt. Also Annie bleached his hair again last night! Sorry Crysta! At least this looks better than it used to, kind of.
artificialgravity: (KR-RE-007)

VIBE CHECK! Rye

[personal profile] artificialgravity 2023-06-30 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Rye consulted with a team of experts (Sal, Taby, Lenz) on which shirt to choose. It was an interesting brainstorming session. In the end, Rye couldn't settle on a shirt. So he's not wearing one. He's still wearing a dark jacket, with a collar for an extra, y'know, whatever.

He's drinking indulgently tonight and trying to be a flirt, which is very hit-or-miss.

Zeke isn't sure what to think when he gets Taby but he thinks he's scared. He's going to be even more scared when they wind up in there for 26 minutes.

VIBE CHECK! Max

[personal profile] buffdebuff 2023-06-30 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Even though his face looks perpetually grumpy, Max is is particularly amenable to basically any idea, good or bad.

He's wearing a boring t-shirt and jeans, but at least the shirt is on theme.
buffdebuff: (026)

Max & Zeke

[personal profile] buffdebuff 2023-06-30 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
As if sensing the spinal inspection, Max sits up a little straighter. "Orcas?" Is this like a popular band he should know, or just the water dwelling mammals? "Like, in general...?" Realization strikes him suddenly and belatedly, because he's been awake for over twenty four hours for no good reason, "Oh! The ones sinking ships?" He spins in his seat, suddenly interested in this line of discussion.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN ISAIAH STAND HIM?

[personal profile] stgermaine 2023-06-30 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
NAME: Isaiah St. Germaine
CONNECTION: Ehhh... 5? Isaiah's a former coworker who can't help but rise to the bait if someone wants to mess with him. It was probably clear he found Jorgensborg irritating back in the day. Unfortunately, he's not completely immune to extremely tall Swedes.
STRATEGY: Isaiah's been trying to take point with Dr. Jorgensborg in the labs, showing him to the moles and explaining what they need. His approach is to be very professional and make this as quick and painless as possible. However, tonight he's a little drunk.
INTOXICATION: 6
ANYTHING ELSE?: Re: making a big mistake? .... maybe.
dissonances: (093)

VIBE CHECK! Ryan

[personal profile] dissonances 2023-06-30 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
After watching the extremely good Juvenile Tiny Desk Concert, Ryan showed up at the party with a well-timed edible in his system. He's a chill guy; he's a simple guy. He's a guy rolling up to a Pride party wearing a white t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

Upon arriving at the party he feels what some—not all, but some—might describe as a wistful pang in his chest. Perhaps a longing for the friends and family he left behind in Washington. Or perhaps it's acid reflux.

Regardless, Ryan's vibes tonight are: going to get wasted, babyyyyy.
