wonder whose arms will hold you tight

Who: EVERYONE'S INVITED
What: Maxxie's Super Amazing and Truly Spectacular New Year's Eve Party
When: Dec 31st - Jan 1st
Where: One of Vista City's most decadent night clubs, æther
Warnings: Mentions of alcohol, drugs, sex, all that good rock 'n roll stuff. If there's going to be anything else just throw it in the header or let me know and I'll add it!




The night club Maxxie rents out is in the heart of the downtown, sticking out like a sore thumb with its front entrance looking more like a museum than a club. There's a red carpet leading up the steps, with bodyguards littered about to keep the paparazzi and troublemakers at arm's length. No one with a recognizable face will be turned away from entering the club, and even through the giant, heavy doors there's a distinct baseline and a hint of flashing lights from the dance floor.

Said dance floor is the first step once you're inside. After an extravagant coat check and quick access to the downstairs bar, there's a wide open dance floor with the DJ on stage at the opposite end. There are bodyguards lining the walls, of course - after Naomi's stunt at the solstice party there's no losing them - but there's only one rule at this party: absolutely no one is to touch the mic except for the DJ and Maxxie. The music all night is a blend of genres, but every song is appropriate to dance to. Obviously there are some Flashstep songs thrown in for good measure, but rest assured that every band will probably hear their music in some form or another, whether it's the song itself or a remix to make it a bit more suitable for the mood of the party.

On the two upper levels there are balconies overlooking the dance floor, and it's a bit quieter up here due to some innovative architecture. One may actually be able to have a conversation in the comfortable lounge, and there's another bar here with a few more options for mixed drinks. It's a place to rest up, have a few drinks, and enjoy the music at a more reasonable volume before you head back out to the party. There's even waitstaff floating around making sure everyone has anything they want, and as always the bodyguards are hanging out at the edges of the space to make sure no one starts any trouble.

Finally, there's an entrance to an outdoor balcony on the top level, high enough up to get a nice view of downtown and still be sheltered from the nosy paparazzi down on the street. The temperature has dropped with the arrival of winter, but it's a calm, clear night in Vista city and the alcohol should be enough to keep you warm.

The bars are fully stocked with a few thousand dollars worth of alcohol to keep everyone properly buzzed, and there are a few dealers floating around upstairs ready to sell anything to anyone with a charming smile. The host himself will be bouncing around, enjoying himself as if it was all catered specifically to his idea of the perfect party (it was) and saying hi to anyone and everyone.

[OOC: This is party style! Throw up a toplevel and get tagging! You can get up to any shenanigans you want, but please keep in mind the bodyguards are plentiful and on high alert since the solstice party. Maxxie has, of course, tried and failed to get them to join in on the fun, but they don't seem too overbearing unless trouble starts brewing. The Countdown is here, but please continue making toplevels and threading pre- and post-countdown shenanigans!]
punchesyu: (kinda just looking awesome you go gurl)

never he never does but he always brings it upon himself

I'm just trying to make sure you don't break your ankle hopping from one chair to the next.

[He says matter-of-factly.]

Though, I didn't know you had an appreciation of floors... [He teases her. He's gotta tease.]
gunslingerqueen: (denying limelight)

his life is a hard one in many ways

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-01 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
So what if I do though? I won't die.

[She hums, though, and if he's trying to tease her then she doesn't seem to catch it.] It helps my back.

[This is actually the complete truth, despite how high she is.]
punchesyu: (lineface)

tell him about it

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-01 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're going to sleep on the floor tonight.

[Yeah, she's out of it. Guess this is better than getting yelled at though.]
gunslingerqueen: (Don't tell)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-01 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope! Hopefully I'll sleep in someone's bed tonight.

[She rolls over onto her front, pouting.] ... I should be working on that. [What time is it, man? Does she have a free hour? Is there anyone cute here that she can even bang?]

... But I'm really fucking high and that probably isn't cute.

[More giggling, and she kind of awkwardly drags her body up to sit on her legs. Everything feels decidedly fuzzy and ...] I'm starving. There's food here, right?
punchesyu: (yeeeeeeeeh)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-02 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not going to even approach that first part. She can sleep in whoever's bed she wants, all the power to her, he's rooting for her...but maybe not in this state of being. He gets a little worried.]

You're high too? No wonder you've got the munchies... [He looks around the bar up here. There's definitely food being served, Maxxie's made sure of that because who else can throw a fantastic party like this but him.]

They've got food at the bar. You just sit tight and don't go anywhere, okay? I'll grab something.
gunslingerqueen: (I wanna be yours)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-02 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[UH Yosuke you're not telling her what to do you are not her mom. Garnet is her mom.]

Don't tell me what to do. [It's a surprisingly benign retort, and she doesn't try to move from her spot on the floor so maybe that can be a victory unto itself.] You don't even know what I like! I want chips! And sandwiches! And macaroni and cheese!

[Why would there even be macaroni and cheese? Who knows, but it's what she wants.]
punchesyu: (Bear...)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-02 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
They don't have macaroni and cheese...

[He retorts back, making a note to at least get some chips and a sandwich for her. What a pain, sometimes he's not sure why he bothers to go to parties like this because something of this nature always seems to happen and he's the only mostly sober one there.]

You want anything to drink before I go?
gunslingerqueen: (All 9 and more)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-02 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Aww!! [She's genuinely upset about this obvious reality. But it's easy to focus on a drink she might want!]

An entire bottle of vodka! With orange juice!

[Screwdrivers, ahoy!]
punchesyu: (dude that's not cool)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-02 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was thinking something more along the lines of water. If you drink an entire bottle of vodka, you're going to end up in the hospital!

[He'll get her the orange juice, but probably not the vodka.]
gunslingerqueen: (Rawrrrrr)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-02 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
If you don't get it for me I'll go and get it myself!

[He's not going to babysit her all night, eventually she'll sneak off and do as she pleases!]
punchesyu: (excuseu)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-02 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
You are totally going to have to go get it yourself. I'm not going to be the one responsible for alcohol poisoning!

[He leaves her for a second, to go order her something to eat and drink. He'll return with a sandwich, piping hot from the roast inside of it and a glass of orange juice. She's high, maybe he can just lie to her about the glass.]

Here you go. There's vodka in the orange juice, just like you asked.

[There's no vodka in it.]
gunslingerqueen: (As I move my feet towards your body)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-02 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[In the period of time that he's been gone, no matter how short it is, when Yosuke returns Nariko will have lit up another joint, and she's blearily smoking away. Considering how tight her outfit is it's better to avoid thinking about where she could have been hiding that thing. She smiles at him because anyone who brings food it good! But she sniffs that orange juice and knows, and then she gives it a little sip.]

You're a filthy liar.

[But she takes the glass anyway, and offers her joint.] Want some?

['Thanks for the food, get high'.]
Edited 2016-01-02 01:46 (UTC)
punchesyu: (cuuuuuz i suck)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-02 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Crap. Busted. But he stands his ground, knowing that it was probably better for her that she didn't have anymore alcohol. But the joint on the other hand, he has no idea where that came from and grimaces at the sight of it.]

Uh, yeah, no thanks. I'm not really into that kind of thing...
gunslingerqueen: (Lungs)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-02 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not? S'fun!

[She's not going to pester him about the alcohol, mostly because if she really wanted it Nariko could sort of lurch her way back to the bar but it's really not that important. It had been a few minutes ago! But not right now.]

It's New Years, Yosuke, you're supposed to do stupid shit and have fun.
punchesyu: (yeeeeeeeeh)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-04 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure how to get out of this because of sudden PEER PRESSURE but he doesn't want to make himself look like an idiot. Not that he needs much help with that]

Y'know, b-because I'm allergic!

[It's probably the worst lie he's ever come up with. Maybe.]
gunslingerqueen: (Rawrrrrr)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-04 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[No his best lie was conveniently forgetting to mention he was dating a chick fifty times hotter than herself! It would be a while before he could hope to top that.

But good god would the boy try.]


You're lying again! [She kind of glares at him. God Yosuke you could just say no again and then she'd (probably) leave you alone.] Seriously, aren't you bored being all sober and shit, though? I mean, this must be the worst.
punchesyu: (welp freaking out again)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-05 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's not like I haven't had something!

[He's definitely bored. But that fear of looking like a total idiot battles against it.]

See, look. [He shows a half-filled glass of some sort of mixed drink he'd ordered that he's only sipping.]
gunslingerqueen: (Sure why the hell not)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-07 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
You've barely had any of it like. I think I've probably been drunker tonight than you've ever been in your life! [That might not be entirely untrue! She's gone through quite a few tonight. She pulls her lighter out of the same hidden pocket of her dress, which is located at the epicenter of her breasts, because of course it is.]

Nooootttt gonna stop me, though! [Not that Yosuke was trying, though if he didn't want to deal with the smoke they might have a bit of an issue.]

It's important to let go! [She exhales smoke.] Or run away from your problems and scary ass visions through illegal means!
punchesyu: (glaring at chie how surprising)

I'M SO SORRY work just murderated me

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-10 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's still a guy. He still looks down as she takes the lighter out of her boobs, and his eyes linger for a second before he snaps them back up, stepping away from any exhaled smoke. It smelled kind of weird and his nose crinkles.]

Yeah, and that's why I've got alcohol. You're not seriously hoping you're going to end up in some stranger's bed tonight though, right?
gunslingerqueen: (DT! I can hear oh I can hear)

NO IT'S OKAY I'M JUST really glad you didn't want to drop this thread haha ._.

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, probably am!

[Or she's going to try at the very least and assuming she hadn't lost all of her skills amidst the complete weirdness that had dominated the lives of everyone in Pride and Virgo? Chances are she'd get what she wanted. But it's still pretty early, so it's hardly the first thing on her mind.]

Look, you want to be the designated driver and all that? Go for it. [She's not going to waste time convincing him to loosen up when she could spend said time eating, instead. Pot makes her really goddamn hungry, okay.]
punchesyu: (whinnneeerrrrrr)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-14 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I sorta don't have a problem with that. [He huffs.]

But what if you end up with some super shady guy...I mean, this isn't exactly the best place to be picking up guys. All the people sitting outside trying to get a glimpse inside give me the creeps.

[He grimaces- he can't imagine Nariko ending up in a bed with one of those mouthbreathers out there.]
gunslingerqueen: (Dog days are over)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-14 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is he so stuck on this? She doesn't know why it irritates her but god does it fucking irritate her.]

Again: So what if I do? I'd rather deal with someone than be alone!

[.... God, that's pathetic, she knows it is, so:] Besides, it's not like being chaste ever did me any good!

[That's definitely - not a dig but it is a little call back to him. To them. The fact that she'd tried to be more careful with Yosuke and ended up fucking it all up still stung her pride violently. It was difficult to convince herself that things wouldn't have been different if she hadn't spread it on a little thicker.]
punchesyu: (Why him)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-15 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not exactly sure what to say to that- he gets not wanting to be alone, but she's drunk and high and he knows it. Plus she a pretty girl who he assumes has some real creeps breathing on her pictures in their basement, and that's not something he'd want for anyone, ever.]

Yeah, and what happens when you wake up totally hungover and in bed with some guy who could roll over and crush you because you were high and thought going home with him was a good idea. Seriously, think about it for a second!

[Okay maybe that wasn't the most sensitive thing to say ever oops]
gunslingerqueen: (Interact architect)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2016-01-15 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Now she throws her arms up a little wildly.]

Again: So what?! The fuck's it matter what they look like or whether I regret it later or if I feel shitty about myself for it! At least for five goddamn seconds nothing will feel like shit! What I'm thinking about is not feeling alone!

[Yosuke why are you trying to argue with someone who is so incredibly high, and emotional? It's just a bad idea, because her voice raises, warbles like she might accidentally edge into something like hysteria before she gets a hold of herself.]

Are you going to cockblock me all friggin' night or something? [He's like a dog with a demented bone.] I mean, eventually you're gonna feel awkward enough that you'll go anyway.

[Don't test her.]
punchesyu: (probably just whining again that's a thi)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-17 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[His hands go up in some form of semi-apology; he's recognized that maybe this got a little too far and he's backing off. She is a grown woman and can do whatever she wants, despite being concerned for her, so he begins to apologize.]

No! Geez, I was just trying to look out for you, okay?

[Which isn't always the best way.]

You don't have to bite my head off! [A beat.]

Sorry...
