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!]

"Hey, mind if I stand here?"

As it happens, B's taking a break at around the same time; he's standing a couple feet back when he speaks up, smiling brightly with his hands tucked into his pockets. He'd rather not sneak up on someone - especially after the fiasco at the last party he went to - but there's always the chance that his arrival may be a little sudden.

She bristles at first, especially at a stranger's voice. Then she lowers the scar from her face and turns to him.

"Sure, if you want. Not like I own the place." It's said in a friendly enough way to not shove him away.
killerbeep: (:D)

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-01-06 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, I couldn't've known that," he replies half-teasingly, as he heads over to lean on the railing next to her. "Never know who's gonna show up at one of these."
blindfoldcode: (hopeless and taken)

*scarf

"Nope, just a bassist." She shrugs and offers a slight smile. "It's crowded in there."

"Yeah, kind of an unavoidable side effect of stuff like this. Think it's part of how Maxxie measures the success of his parties, too." His voice is sympathetic, though; B may not have too much trouble with crowds, but he can see how others might.
blindfoldcode: (is falling down on all)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-01-09 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
"By size? I think at this point we should start measuring success in a low body count." She shakes her head. This is how she deals with stress.

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-01-10 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
B snorts, because fortunately his sense of humor is morbid enough not to be too distressed by that. "Maybe. But, hey, if you can get a high attendance and a low body count, that's even better, right? Ratios 'n stuff."

B, no.
blindfoldcode: (that i've ever known)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-01-11 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh thank god. Everyone seemed to be super upset when she joked about it before. "If we're going percentage, here, how about 0% of us die."
killerbeep: despite actually not being that big for a robot (pretty good at looming)

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-01-13 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
He nods thoughtfully. "Yeah, that'd be for the best."

Except maybe for a few of those Virgo assholes... he frowns slightly and pushes the thought away. He may not like them, but that seems a bit much... right?

His smile is back almost as soon as it flickers. "And hey, we seem to be sticking to it so far!"
blindfoldcode: (we stole our new lives)

i lost this omg

"Well... you're right about that, at least." She leans back a bit, stretching. "It's kinda relaxing without the murder shit. Partying without competing, I mean."
killerbeep: but DAD (uuuugh)

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-01-24 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mm... guess so." He gives a slightly begrudging shrug. Guess who's a competitive asshole, it's this guy.
blindfoldcode: (Default)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-01-25 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no don't be competitive Kido is just happy being successful. "I have too many friends on both sides."
killerbeep: (weird squishy creature)

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-01-26 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
He makes an uncertain humming noise and crosses his arms. "Good for you, then. Not sure I could."
blindfoldcode: (i won't forget this heat)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-01-26 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
She raises an eyebrow. "You don't buy into the label war do you?"
killerbeep: but DAD (uuuugh)

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-02-01 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"If you're asking if I'd rather have nothing to do with Virgo if it could be avoided, then yeah." He huffs, leaning against the railing.
blindfoldcode: (go to the city that goes)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-02-01 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
She gives him a soft huff of a laugh. "My girlfriend's Virgo."
killerbeep: (weird squishy creature)

im so sorry about him

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-02-01 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
He snorts. "Sorry to hear it."

"I'd rather be sleeping with her than Xanxus." She's making a point.
killerbeep: (weird squishy creature)

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-02-02 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Okay, granted, but I'm pretty sure most people don't want to sleep with Xanxus just as a rule."
blindfoldcode: (said if you won't save me)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-02-05 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Tell that to his fans." She sighs, running her hand through her hair.
killerbeep: (baby eyes)

[personal profile] killerbeep 2016-02-06 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He gives a snort of laughter. "Can't say I'm too surprised. Fans get weird."
