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

VIBE CHECK

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.

BAR AREA

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 FLOOR

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.

QUIET CORNER

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.

BOUNCY HOUSE

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.

OOC CHATTER!

Hypatia, honestly, spends most of the party on the dance floor, so it's easy to catch her at various points in time and various levels of intoxicated. She is not a good dancer, but this is somewhat remedied by the fact that she's not shy at all, and she's quick to invite others to dance with her. The drunker she gets, the more insistent she is, but given how nice she is, she never pushes that hard. But also, come dance with her!!!

Vidalia is weird about moms. Dads? Men twenty years her senior? Best friends, they're her peers, she's basically a 40-year-old man herself (invite her to your poker games you cowards!!!). But moms are someone to keep an eye on and carefully gauge before she approaches.

But she's lost in the ZONE, vibing to the TUNES right now, and she bumps butt-first into Hypatia on the dancefloor before she even remembers there's other people at this party.

"AHHHH!!" she calls out as a hand hits the floor. "Oh, wait, that's mine, don't worry!!!"

Not one to be bothered by being bumped into (even if she was mid shopping cart dance), Hypatia is bothered by apparently knocking things off of people. Especially hands.

"Oh!!" She goes to pick up the hand from the floor, managed to do so with some grace, before offering it to Vidalia. "Oh my gosh I'm soooooo sorry!!" Despite how drawn out the 'so' is, it's entirely genuine, if a little slurred.

"Oh, no! Nononoooooo." Vidalia spins around and waves her arms in apology. "I took them off earlier and put them on aaaall wrong and I think I'm--" She stumbles slightly and tries to grab the hand with her stump. "I think I'm the drunkest I've ever been allowed to be okay I said it."

There are so many words coming out of Vidalia's mouth, and also Hypatia is surprised at how not plastic-y the hand that flew off her feels, but she picks it up and stands, wobbling on her feet and offering it to the girl with a smile.

"Hey! Me too! I feel like everyone is really drunk!" she semi-yells over the music. "Do you nee help putting it back on?"

"Actually I'm just gonna replace it, you kin—cun—crun just throw that anywhere." Vidalia waves vaguely toward... the sky kinda, and drops her voice. "I do it all the tiiiime."

"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.

"That's good LUCK!" Vidalia yells and hops up and down. No one has ever called this specific thing good luck before, but Vidalia believes in it. "Oooooooooh or or or." Leaning in, she grabs Hypatia's arm with her still-attached hand, squeezing maybe a little too hard. "You could KEEP it and make WISHES on it!"

"Good luck?" Hypatia repeats, looking back down at the hand curiously. Her poor little drunk brain, inundated with light and music and movement (still dancing), is trying to catch up to all these ideas that are being thrown out at her.

"I shouldn't keeping it, that seems illegal! Retaining human... remains...?" She's thinking too much. Suddenly, she lights up. "Oh!!! Let's! Go in the hallway for a minute! I can throw it there!"

Right... she's supposed to take those to Medical to dispose. But it's a PARTY!! Isn't that, like, CRAIG'S job or something??

"Uhhhhhhh yeah totally illegal without permission probably," she mutters and looks away, suuuuper innocently. "THE HALLWAY IS PERFECT! We can throw ALL my hands." LET'S GET YOU THROWING HANDS, MAMA.

Hypatia reached out her free hand for Vidalia's attached hand, because she's not sure she'll be able to get through the dance floor without losing her if she just goes, and it seems rude to throw her hand without her there???

"Onnnnly because it's good luck and I'd love some good luck!!"
