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.

[He's already giggling and absolutely loving the look on Futaba's face. She was so cute when she blushed. He kept his hands near her face, brushing some of her hair back behind her ear with a couple of fingers.]

I wanted you to know how nice it is. And I wanted to see you blush like that! You're really beautiful, Futaba.

[She was beautiful and she deserved to get all of the kisses, and not just from some serial flirt. But even if he was a serial flirt, he did truly love his friends. Maybe not necessarily in a romantic way, but he loved them just as much as he could love anyone.

Futaba was just getting some laser-targeted love right now.]

Thank you...? [She's not used to those kinds of compliments and has no idea what to say to them or how to react. All she knows is that it was kind of nice hearing them directed at her. She isn't sure if the rush of her heartbeat is from having a first kiss or being called beautiful or both--but it's a good kind of rush, the kind that sings in your veins and causes you to giggle and grin like an idiot.]

It...was nice. [She had to at least say that much, a shy smile tugging at her lips.]
crimeboy: (m25)

[personal profile] crimeboy 2017-07-07 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Akira smiled back at her. She looked happy! Good.]

It was! And you are welcome. You deserve a lot more kisses. Like that one, and better! But I don't wanna steal them all, just a couple here or there.

[He gave her a wink at that.]

And that's why you should play spin the bottle!

[Okay, those giggles are not going away anytime soon. They'll just stick around like the rose color in her cheeks apparently.]

Can it really be called stealing if you're warning me about it?

[Ah, and then the game comes up again.]

I'll think about it. I'm not sure about kissing people I don't even know...
itcanwait: (pose yup)

[personal profile] itcanwait 2017-07-07 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Well larger than me. It's like with organics, we come in different shapes and sizes.

[He nods and takes Robb's hand before leads him outside where there would be room for him to change. In his human form, he is just as happily drunk but he has no idea if that'll change when he turns back.

Outside, he let's go of the hand and keeps walking towards the sidewalk.
]

K, you'll want to stay there so I don't bump into you or hurt you.

[And with a little concentration the girl vanishes and is replaced with his Cybertronian form. Which looks down at Robb and waves.]
itcanwait: (Shrug)

[personal profile] itcanwait 2017-07-07 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never had anyone get in before. I don't think they'd would fit, our avatars scaled would, oh and humans. You'd fit.

[Where's the voice coming from? Who knows. But just call him Knight rider.]
taraincognita: (binch????)

[personal profile] taraincognita 2017-07-07 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No, dude. That's my power.

[ too bad there aren't any rocks handy, or she'd give him a little demonstration--say, a pebble to the back of your head, reggie. maybe another time. she can fill their pool with mud, or something. that would be fun. ]

How much good luck are you supposed to have if you wound up here?
taraincognita: (binch????)

[personal profile] taraincognita 2017-07-07 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Like, saving kittens from a tree useful, or kicking bank robbers in the teeth useful? There's a lot of different things you can be doing, yanno?

[ she raises her eyebrows. this guy doesn't look like he could punch anyone, apparent superpowered jacket aside. ]

[There's certainly no sport to it. Provoking Gar is easy as breathing. The fact that they look kinda good is definitely making him grin too, buzzed and kinda smug. Brendan has teased him and made him feel weird and unsure, but he's nice. And he's fun.

So he allows himself to be dipped, cackling and holding on as best he can, and even kicking up a leg for dramatic effect.]
pale_blue_arrow: (Smile)

[personal profile] pale_blue_arrow 2017-07-07 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Brendan laughs. It's not a common thing for him, not really, but it just happens, and he manages to twirl Gar on the way up from the dip, still grinning stupidly, feeling - feeling good, for once. Uncomplicated. They're just having fun, being stupid teenagers, being normal guys at a party and not superpowered whatevers.

Everything becomes a blur, until finally the music switches to a slower song. Given the ridiculous, obnoxious amount of effort they've put into making a spectacle of themselves, the reprieve is welcome. A man can only do so many twirls before his arms start to tire, after all. That leaves him with Gar in his arms, though. That's not bad, but it's not how he foresaw this evening going.

He doesn't want to pull away. They've been having a nice night. Selfish as it might be, he doesn't want that to end.]
beastboi: (unimpressed)

[personal profile] beastboi 2017-07-07 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Exhaustion hits him belatedly, and the fight seems to leak out of Gar. Riptide just doesn't really seem to read as a threat. Just a mild annoyance, like Cyborg going big brother mode on him.

He shuffles vaguely in the direction Riptide shoved him without much idea of where he's actually going.]


Whatever.

Oh, frag, don't tell me you don't live here! Ugh! Organic stuff is so confusing...

[he frowns for a moment.]

I can give you a lift home. Literally. I can lift you up.

[personal profile] hunksmash 2017-07-09 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Believe me, man. I am contentedly intoxicated enough in both directions, and nobody at a party full of ridiculously hot, literal super-people is gonna lay the local fatass.

[ He says it pretty lightly. He wants it to be more humorous than to make it a thing. It's just an incidental truth, which he doesn't even know is an absolute truth. He doesn't care about who would and wouldn't sleep with him right now, though; he just to make sure his roommate doesn't die sobbing in a ditch somewhere.

So he bends a little further to get his free arm under Brendan's knees, and he simples stands up, ready to just straight-up princess carry Brendan from the house. ]


We're going outside. Please don't vomit on me.

[ Which is ironic, coming from Hunk, but whatever. ]
pale_blue_arrow: (Smug)

[personal profile] pale_blue_arrow 2017-07-09 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
If I were more sober I'd make a pass at you, [he declares, because firstly, he might, and secondly, this is Brendan's version of solidarity/being a bro. As evidenced by how bad that statement is, he clearly has no experience with it.] God, your hair is so soft. Like an angel's. If I weren't me, would you date me?

[This is the level of drunk he's at, but at least Hunk has distracted him, for the moment. He lays his head against Hunk's chest, frowning.] The room is spinning. [Oh. That's worrying. This is not usually a good sign. But maybe it's not spinning outside! Hunk is so smart.]

Well sure! It's still stealing, even if I send a calling card, isn't it?

[He gave her a playful wink at that, letting the idea of a spin the bottle game drop for now. He was more than happy to be the one giving her the smooches anyway.]

You can always just kiss me instead! [He was a flirt and a menace.] I guess we can't call it stealing if we make it even.

[How old was this kid? Maybe fourteen? Either way, she's not usually that uptight about people drinking something when they're like seventeen. She sure as shit had. He on the other hand looked too young to be drunk.

Getting up from the pool, Daisy moved closer to him.]


Why don't you go get some water instead, okay?

[Yeah, because he came here to have an adult 'tell him what to do'.]
codeoracle: (Surf it // Scroll it)

[personal profile] codeoracle 2017-07-09 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you going to send a calling card whenever you decide to kiss someone now, too?

[She teases with a laugh. Honestly, the idea was hilarious. He's a flirt and a menace, but she can give as good as she gets sometimes. She's not called a troll without reason.]

You know, if we make it even...it is more of a trade, isn't it? [It's an interesting thought. And she's just this side of tipsy for it to seem like a fair deal--though she's not quite bold enough to go for a true kiss. Instead, Akira will find himself on the receiving end of a quick kiss to his cheek.

It's a start?

[Archie smiles and nods for a good second and a half before his face falls and he actually processes the confession.]

... Wait what?

[personal profile] songwrite 2017-07-09 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably more like the second thing. [BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY DO IN COMIC BOOKS. Well, sometimes. Mostly it's fighting their own supervillains but Archie doesn't have any of those so... bank robbers will probably have to do.] Not that I'd like, leave a kitten stuck in a tree if I saw one...
crimeboy: (022)

[personal profile] crimeboy 2017-07-09 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Only if I have some made up in advance~

[Because who knew when kisses would happen? He hadn't planned on it this night, after all.

Akira laughs a little as Futaba plants a kiss on his cheek. For all of her trolling and everything, she was still a very innocent and shy thing. It was adorable and great, and Akira wasn't going to ask any more of her than she wanted to give.]


That's a fair trade, I think. A kiss for a kiss~
crimeboy: (058)

[personal profile] crimeboy 2017-07-09 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, yeah.

[It was... probably not that bad? Maybe it was a little bad.]

There was a girl singing on the roof and it kinda made me, uuuuuhhhh... go berserk or something? Ssssorry. I'll help cleaning up and stuff.
songwrite: (AA4069617)

[personal profile] songwrite 2017-07-10 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Uhh... [Honestly he's imagining this skinny nerd "going berserk" as some sort of sad, lone moshing, which is hilarious enough that he coughs out a dizzy laugh.] Don't worry about it. You okay?
songwrite: (AA2023954)

[personal profile] songwrite 2017-07-10 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Archie doesn't drink, because he hasn't really tried honestly, and what's worse is that he's a bad enough liar that he'd absolutely get caught if he did. It's just facts.]

No one here even asks about it, or I'd totally have that one.

[NOT THAT HE'LL ADMIT IT TO HIMSELF.... He looks thoughtful though, bolstered by the fact that Reggie let the subject change without protest. A Good Bro, maybe the Best.]

Never have I ever... skipped class!

[Listen, it has been a busy Sophomore year. He drinks, proudly.]
crimeboy: (043)

[personal profile] crimeboy 2017-07-10 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Akira sorely wished that was what happened, but he's not about to give details, so enjoy that image, Archie!]

Yeah, I'm good. Didn't hurt anyone either, from what I hear, so it should be all... good.
songwrite: (AA3047385)

[personal profile] songwrite 2017-07-10 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, cool. So how's the party so far? You're having fun, right? [Because going nuts at a concert can probably be fun, right? Archie would know better if he didn't listen to, like, Hozier......

Look whatever getting ill advisably hammered and kissin on fools is its own fun!!!]
