I'm half drunk, I can't see straight

WHO: REGGIE MANTLE, ARCHIE ANDREWS, and YOU.
WHERE: Archie & Reggie's apartment in Heropa.
WHEN: Weekend of June 16th-18th.
WHAT: Reggie and Archie celebrate their newfound independence and take advantage of Reggie's new ability to generate alcohol in a typical teenage fashion: by throwing a party. The theme this month is SUPERHEROES and the invitation is public, so anyone is free to tag in regardless of existing CR!
WARNINGS: Underage drinking mainly, though potentially other party-typical (or otherwise) sensitive content (e.g. drug use, sexual implications/activity, etc.); please mark threads for content as applicable!


INSIDE ( FRI )
    ARRIVAL, FOOD & DRINKS:
    The apartment, granted, isn't huge -- one of the standard government two bedrooms -- but that's obviously not of major concern for this party's two charming hosts. There's still room outside should it get too crowded... but also, a good party is always a little crowded.

    The dining room table is laid out with paper plates and pizza boxes -- the different kinds labeled with post-its -- a stack of red plastic cups, and a cooler of soda, although as specified in the invites hopefully guests also brought their own drinks along if they don't want to be sipping tap water by the end of the evening. Reggie will tell guests as they arrive (if he's the one to greet them) to come find him whenever they need their drinks "freshened up": find him, talk to him, he'll work his magic to turn whatever your drink of choice more alcoholic. All for free this time, too! So generous of him.

    The party will be going from "6 PM - ????" but feel free to arrive earlier, and to stay as long as you want. Odds are the festivities will spill over into the early hours of Saturday morning, which gives everyone plenty of time to mingle and make new friends, enemies, love connections, or whatever else, and there's a couch, the floor, tables?!, or even Archie or Reggie's own beds that can be crashed on in a pinch. True that last option might be awkward, but only maybe. They might not even notice!

    OPTIONS / ACTIVITIES:
    Since it is a party, the whole of the apartment is effectively at any guest's disposal, even beyond the common areas; it may not be considered the most classy to pop inside the hosts's bedrooms, but also hardly unheard of if anyone's in need of some privacy or just a moment alone to take a quick breather.

    In the common areas, of course, people are free to mingle, drink, and dance-- hell, it's encouraged. Go wild, grind on each other, show off yours costumes, enjoy the free food, do shots, sit on the couch and chat... the night is full of options, and that's not even including the potential for party games: various drinking games are bound to be organized and played throughout the night, as well as a tipsily-judged (and dubiously categorized) costume "contest" and, naturally, there's always the classic ice-breaker game Never Have I Ever.

    Just try not to get too rowdy or turn the music up too loud, in case the neighbors complain! Or you know what, fuck those guys. Smoke in the bathroom, make out on the balcony. If it gets too crowded for you, clear off a table and dance there instead! Seriously, do whatever you want.

OUTSIDE ( FRI )
    Outside things might be a little quieter and less crowded, depending on the time of night-- although that's still a "maybe," because on a warm Florida night there's nothing more fun than partying at a poolside. Hope you brought suits or incorporated them into your costumes! But hell, even if not, no one's really going to judge anyone too hard for jumping in (or getting pushed in) with their clothes on or even in their underwear. Anything goes, after all!

    There might not be blasting music except for the dim sounds of what can still be heard from the apartment -- unless someone's come prepared and brought their own, of course -- but there's the ambient sounds of conversation and traffic and other such night noise, and the pool area is nicely lit up. It'll close for the night eventually, but still feel free to sneak back in after hours if you don't mind the darkness. Just, y'know, don't drown.

SATURDAY ( MORNING )
    By the time Saturday morning rolls around, a lot of people may or may not have left already -- one never can really tell how long a party will last -- but those who haven't may either still be awake (talking, swimming, making out, watching TV, or whatever else) or passed out asleep wherever they found space to.

    Sleep in as long as you need, drag yourselves awake and help each other tend to your potential respective hangovers, dig into your hosts's leftovers and/or fridge, or just take the opportunity to have a quiet conversation or moment alone with someone you didn't have the chance to while the party was in full swing.

That's tragic. Inexcusable. You can't let them do this to you. Never give in.

[ Like rivers in a dry land...? ]

We should create something beautiful. Show them what they're missing!

[personal profile] pale_blue_arrow 2017-06-17 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
We should. [Mostly because Brendan wants to see what kind of offensive thing he can pass off as art and he has way too many feelings he needs to get out of his head and apparently, doing so via fistfights is frowned upon these days.

More like gasoline and fire.]
But what medium? Multi-medium? In spite o' this place's many shortcomings I've built up a halfway decent jazz collection. [By which he means he shoplifted all of it.]

FRIDAY

[personal profile] juniberries 2017-06-17 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Allura had come out for a bit of fresh air, feeling a bit dizzy and giddy from whatever it was she had been drinking throughout the night. She came with her team--or well, the three that were here, at least, but she can take a tick or two to sit poolside on her own, removing her shoes and dipping her feet in.

Her princess dress doesn't exactly make for a good swimsuit, and she's about to enjoy a cup full of corn nuts when--

--a shirtless Reggie runs past where she's sitting and jumps into the pool, splashing her and her corn nuts.
]

Hey!

[ He has been known to partake in graffiti protest art... ]

A rambunctious jazz soundtrack. Lightning bolts, raining terror on us all, but it's only fear. The rebellious spirit of youth perseveres, we all stand in the crater with a defiant smirk. I have lightning bolts in my bag.
deadsmizing: (Correction: ONLY angel.)

[personal profile] deadsmizing 2017-06-17 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it helps that one of her powers here lets her do a costume change in all of a second or two, but yeah. Karen definitely smiles in his direction and looks his outfit up and down.]

Thanks. I saw... it online, and it was just too fitting.

You look cute too, by the way.
pale_blue_arrow: (Default)

[personal profile] pale_blue_arrow 2017-06-17 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
White Lightning was a kind of booze back home. Could do some sort of connection with that, with intoxication and impaired judgment being what the white lightning bolts stand for - wait, do you have white or just yellow?

[If they're going to do drunk art they will do it right, damnit.]
deadsmizing: (Either dead or totally hot.)

[personal profile] deadsmizing 2017-06-17 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[She leans in a little to make sure she can be heard without raising her voice.]

I can't get drunk. But I can still dance.
pale_blue_arrow: (Smug)

[personal profile] pale_blue_arrow 2017-06-17 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Dance is apparently a relative term these days, [he notes, looking back at the human disaster who had been dancing before.] But at least the bar's been set so low even I might look halfway decent at it.

They...white, I think. Does it matter what color they are? They disappear. The wreckage is the symbolic part. We just have to not. Hit the pool.

[ Um yes he is referring to actual literal godlike destructive power here! ]
pale_blue_arrow: (A Freaking Drink)

[personal profile] pale_blue_arrow 2017-06-17 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'm aquaphobic, I - there's a story there I am not nearly drunk enough to tell. [For a moment, he sees Emily's body in the water, gentle waves lapping at her blue bracelets, her gorgeous pale skin made porcelain-pale by the embrace of death, and he locks up, going stiff and breathing in deeply.] Not going near the pool. I need a drink. Something strong.
lempereur: (Hmm?)

[personal profile] lempereur 2017-06-17 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
We're not going near the pool. We're avoiding it, if you shoot electricity down there, everyone will die.

[ The unexpected reaction sobers him up a bit, he takes a sip of his half full drink, and then offers it to Brendan. ]

Do you want to go sit down?
hondoyota: (laugh)

[personal profile] hondoyota 2017-06-17 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Immediately grinning, Adam scoots a foot back out of the circle and leans in close, resting his shoulder against Noah's and lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.]

Yeah? Who spun the bottle? I hope it was someone cute.
couldbebeautiful: (i could be good with you)

SLUSHIE FOUNTAIN

[personal profile] couldbebeautiful 2017-06-17 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[The video turns on to a very wobbly and very giggly Veronica, positioning herself on the table. She looks straight at the camera, and it is very obvious from the flushed look to her cheeks that she is Drunk and should therefore not be on tables. But is that gonna stop her? No.]

Okay, okay—are we recording? [A laugh, and she very slowly gets to her feet, letting out a little whoa as she rebalances herself.] Hey, everyone! Who wants slushies?

[She won't even wait for a response before she tries to pose like she's one of those cherubs spouting water on fountains, balancing one leg as she stretches her hands out and slush comes pouring out of her palms. It is, quite frankly, a ridiculous sight.

Then she overbalances and falls off the table with a shriek.

Don't worry, she's okay.]
pale_blue_arrow: (Regret)

[personal profile] pale_blue_arrow 2017-06-17 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
That - that'd be nice, yeah. [He takes the drink from Yusuke, tilting his head so his hair falls into his face and he has an excuse not to look at him.] Sit with me, doll? Parties aren't supposed to be a solo endeavor.
beautiful_monster: (Eh?)

Yuri Plisetsky | OTA | CW Underage drinking

[personal profile] beautiful_monster 2017-06-17 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Arrival
[It's been a long and exhausting week, and frankly Yuri isn't sure what he's doing coming to a party. He still feels emotionally spent, but being alone sounds even worse than navigating...whatever the hell people do at normal parties. All his experience with them before now have been post-competition galas where he was shown off to sponsors, or ridiculous drunken debacles hosted by the older skaters—always things he felt bored or irritated and out of place in.

But here? With friends(??? How did he ever get more than one of those?) and people his own age, he's lost. There's no one he needs to impress, and no drunken idiots trying (and failing) to stay age-appropriate to ignore. If he were less mentally exhausted, he might actually try to mingle. Instead he grabs a slice of pizza, takes exactly one bite, and picks out a spot on the wall to lean against and hope he'll be ignored until he's gotten a read on things.]


time to DANCE
[Holy shit did you know the drinks are spiked? Yuri did not know. He might have a sneaking suspicion now, of course. Now that he's noticing the fuzzy feeling at the edge of his mind and the way laughter is coming a little easier. No fucking wonder adults like this so much. It's lifted the weight of the week off his shoulders like it was nothing, and he's eager to take advantage of the lighter mood it's left him in.

The music shifts, and there's just enough of a clear space in the living room for him to reach out and grab whoever happens to be in arm's reach at the moment.]


Hey, dance with me!

Wildcard
[Got something else in mind? Go for it! Hit me up at [plurk.com profile] jiora if you want to run anything by me.]

It's just my normal clothes.

[He always looks like a preteen piece of cotton candy, though he's not always so drunk.]

Except the cape, I mean. I'm not a superhero.

I'm not sure that sounds appealing after other people have been swimming in it.

[Gansey is stripped down to just the pants of his flattering supervillain costume--it was much too hot for the rest, however handsome he looked in it.

He sits down next to Noah shirtless, beer bottle in hand, pleasantly tipsy.]

[Veronica snickers, ducking her head and tucking her hair back behind her ears. Well, at least one of them is actually conforming to the theme.]

You must be one of those space Amazons I keep hearing about. [She pauses, glances at the backpack.] I didn't know space Amazons had backpacks.

[personal profile] couldbebeautiful 2017-06-17 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
They're, um.

[She falters, a little off her guard when she realizes that a hot girl is responding to her. Oh my god. Stay cool, Veronica. Stay very, very cool. She coughs, gives Allura her best and most charming smile. She's drunk, so it's a little wide.]

They're snacks! Deep-fried corn kernels. They just, uh, crunch in your mouth. [A cough. Okay, she is not doing so great on this flirting thing.] I can get you some. There's probably some around here.

[personal profile] hondoyota 2017-06-17 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well. I only know one ghost. And he's super cute.

[Adam leans in a little closer, lips just an inch away from Noah's.]

Guess I'm pretty lucky, then.
lempereur: (Idea man)

[personal profile] lempereur 2017-06-17 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Just doll now, is it?

[ Yusuke sounds playful, winking as he wraps an arm around Brendan's waist until he can get him where he needs to be, whether he needs the help or not. Where they need to be, or the closest thing to it, is a couch with one cushion mysteriously missing. No matter, still plenty of room for the both of them. ]

Is that one strong enough? I can get you a new one.

[personal profile] admemoriam 2017-06-17 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
I was trying to make some afterlife joke about Seven Minutes in Heaven, but...

[He's far too drunk for that.]

Wanna go make out in the closet?
admemoriam: (miss you terribly already)

[personal profile] admemoriam 2017-06-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Alcohol, like, cleans stuff.

[Noah turns towards Reggie, looking for backup.]
