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.

You know, the voice seems, like, vaguely familiar? But between the music, the alcohol, and the Cocked Pistol horniness rating, it's not really registering as a problem right now.

"Hell yeah!" The bartender plops the new drink by Zeke's arm and he slaps an unknown bill denomination on the table in thanks. Please don't hurt him if it's a one he's just a blind lil bone guy. "You a fan or a hater?" He slurps at the drink. "Gotta know before I can hit on ya."

Re: OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN YOU STAND HIM?

[personal profile] kobalt 2023-06-30 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
NAME: Rufus, the guy Colin almost got killed on an Exploration a while back.
CONNECTION: Harboring a doubly deep dislike for: almost killing him in the field through his own ineptitude and lack of insight!; being Rory's ex. So I think we're at a 1, if I understand this scale right haha.
STRATEGY: No, he's going to shoot Looks at him all night (hopefully that's the extent of it).
INTOXICATION: 5.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Look, Rufus TRIES to be coldly polite, but.... Who knows.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN JACK STAND HIM?

[personal profile] nolitangere 2023-06-30 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
NAME: Jack Jung
CONNECTION: Jack talked with Dr. Jorgensborg for 10 minutes two days ago. His impression of Dr. Jorgensborg is a clean 0, but not because Jack is a hater. Because he feels nothing toward Dr. Jorgensborg.
STRATEGY: Jack has actually sought Dr. Jorgensborg out as part of his Martin Scorsese's Silence (2016) strategy—he figures if he stays within Dr. Jorgensborg's area of effect, he will become invisible to everyone else. His strategy is merely to exist, nod at timed intervals, and make noncommital "mmmm" (falling tone) and "mmmm" (rising tone) noises when appropriate. And Jack's special ability is that once he has written someone off, Jack gains an infinite amount of patience for their shenanigans because they simply do not matter to him as a person anymore. Dr. Jorgensborg is now in that zone for Jack. In Jack's mind, Dr. Jorgensborg has become his enormous blonde catspaw.
INTOXICATION: 0 on the alcohol, 5 on the THC.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Jack will not be making any Big Mistakes.

Crysta & Not Raine

[personal profile] rainbowfish 2023-06-30 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
For about five seconds it looks like someone has roped Raine into participating in this very stupid game, but when he immediately spins Crysta he takes it for what it is (vibe check from the universe) and just gets up and leaves.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN RAINE STAND HIM?

[personal profile] rainbowfish 2023-06-30 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
NAME: Raine Riley
CONNECTION: Not 100% on the timeline I thiiink Raine missed Dr. Jorgensborg when he was working at the Station, but I imagine they've met a few times in a professional capacity since then. Maybe like a 4.
STRATEGY: Just catching up! Raine 1) is great at identifying narcissists and 2) has an insanely high tolerance for bad personalities, so he's happy to just ask what Jorgensborg has been up to and then listen to him talk about himself. This is a normal conversation for him.
INTOXICATION: A respectable 2.
ANYTHING ELSE?: He'll leave the mistakes to someone else for tonight.

Rory's more than a few drinks in when he leans back against the wall beside Rufus, one hand clutching a Bi-Glory Mole (ordered for the name alone) and leaving the other free to flop across his buddy's shoulders. His fingertips might brush a bicep as they settle. Who can tell.

"That note." He starts out of nowhere, like it's a totally insignificant thought that's only just now occurred to him and that he totally hasn't been thinking about it for days now. "Did you really think I was gonna back out?"

TECHNIQUE: Hi, did you know that Taby McLeod is an ✨Olympic Gold Medal Gymnast✨? (Don't ask follow up questions, thanks.) They're doing flips and stunts and wipe out a few times as they try to balance the bounciness of the bounce castle with their liminal abilities, which are at the very least no longer on the fritz.
EFFORT: 10!!!
INTOXICATION LEVEL: 7. Very drunk. Could still be drunker.

Rufus & Rory

[personal profile] kobalt 2023-06-30 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Rufus, a Brave Boy, has ventured from the safety of nice wines and whiskeys and is now trying a Ginderqueer. He doesn't hate it. He hates Rory's proximity even less, though the buddy thing can go burn in a big ol' blaze.

He feels like he's somehow been expecting this kind of question. "Sometimes I think you've gotta be lassoed and pulled in a particular direction," he says, which isn't exactly an answer.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN RORY STAND HIM?

[personal profile] enodiamod 2023-06-30 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
The conversation between the exes is shockingly civil and even brushes up against nostalgic once or twice (79). Jorgensborg acknowledges without prompting that Rory looks good but, per usual, mostly seems interested in talking about himself.

In talking to Jorgensborg, Rory learns that the residents of other Stations have been talking about Enodia Station. It has a bit of a reputation for always being in the middle of something and there's debate about whether it comes down to bad luck or incompetence. He tells Rory he should get out while he can and goes so far as to tell him that Culsans Station, where he currently works, would be a superior fit for a guy like him.

Ooh! A drink! Taby takes it and immediately knocks about half of it back. Then they go "bleurgh!", revealing that their tongue is already dyed a sort of muddy shade of blue-purple from their previous drink mistakes.

"Who doesn't love slushies?" they ask after taking a second, much daintier sip of the drink.
coulee: (🌲 59)

Rufus & Rory

[personal profile] coulee 2023-06-30 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
His first response is to slip a pinky under the harness on his chest and tug the implication of an entirely different style of lassoing. His second is: "So that's a 'Yeah'?"

Crysta & Zeke

[personal profile] bwnedpronouncedboned 2023-06-30 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Unfortunate.

Not because he doesn't like hanging out with Crysta!!! But for... other... reasons...

He looks to Beulah to confirm that this time we're going to stick to the seven minute time frame he was promised, but she pointedly ignores him. Welp, at least he'll look hot when he dies of embarrassment or something.

He knocks back his drink before dragging himself up.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN OPHELIA STAND HIM?

[personal profile] cardinal 2023-06-30 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
NAME: Ophelia Cardenal Roy
CONNECTION: She's coming into this BRAND NEW, aside from getting a couple distant glimpses. Honestly, Fee is absolutely satisfying her curiosity on what apparently makes this man such a hot topic and is just excited to be part of the experiment.
STRATEGY: She's going in to OVERWHELM with her own dumbass knowledge and positive energy. Like, trying to match his energy but only after molding it into what she wants the energy to be.
INTOXICATION: For anyone else it would be an 8, but Ophelia's so used to her own power that it's maybe more like a 6.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Do what you will with this mess prayer dot emoji

"That's a good question," Lou says, actually taking a moment to think about it. He takes a small sip of his drink; he can't compete with Taby's impressive gulp anyway.

"Maybe some people with sensitive teeth, I dunno," he decides with a shrug. He holds his cup out to get another look at it. "It's pretty good though, what do you think? Have you tried any of the other ones?"

[personal profile] enodiamod 2023-06-30 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
The conversation between Jorgensborg and Isaiah is...actually good (98)? While the guy is undeniably egotistical, he's quite bright and tonight the two are on the same wavelength. The banter between them is quick and adversarial, but intellectually stimulating and spurred on by mutual intoxication. There's...maybe a spark.

God help him, there's a spark.

Isaiah is called away at some point...but maybe they'll touch base later tonight.

OTHER PARTY GAMES: CAN LOU STAND HIM?

[personal profile] loudon 2023-06-30 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
NAME: Lou Sweetapple
CONNECTION: 1; he's Rory's ex, and while Colin didn't do anything personally to Lou, Lou is protective of Rory :')
STRATEGY: Lou accidentally makes eye contact with Colin while he's trying to get to the bathroom and then he feels like he has to talk to him and try to be polite. He mostly asks lots of questions about Colin because he knows Colin likes to talk about himself (and Lou does not like to talk about himself). Eventually he pretends to get a work-related phone call and politely excuses himself.
INTOXICATION: Maybe like a 2.
ANYTHING ELSE?: No mistakes for Lou! He just wants to be Professional and Courteous and get out.

"Mhmmmmmm," Taby hums through a mouthful of slush. They have the common courtesy to wait until their mouth is empty to speak at least.

"Jello shots are skippable, you know what jello tastes like. Ginderqueer is nice but doesn't taste like much. The Juice is the best one."

"Hmmm, good to know. Maybe I'll try that next, if I have another. Cheers," Lou says, raising his glass to clink his to theirs.

"Did you hear there's a bouncy castle?"
