new years eve party! ota

WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: De Chima Grand Hotel (and the entire block around it)
WHEN: December 31st, 2017
WHAT: New Years Eve Bash!
WARNINGS: Drinking, partying, etc.



[De Chima's Grand Hotel is the city's most luxurious and expensive hotel, mirroring the sophistication and art-forward nature of the neighborhood that surrounds it. The space inside is an electic mix of cast-iron detailing and majestic masonry columns, all of which create a leap from the street outside to the accomodations inside. Bruce rented the entire hotel months in advance, wanting to make a gesture to imPorts and native citizens for all of the turmoil they endured over the past year. Now, instead, they could all come together and celebrate their entry into a new year, and hopefully, better circumstances.

The hotel leads party-goers up the iron wrought grand stair, hand painted silver leaf ceiling overhead, to equally beautiful hand painted elevator doors. It takes them all the way to the rooftop, a spacious outdoor oasis with unobstructed views to De Chima's own glittering New Years Eve ball. There's a premium open bar, with catered hors d'oeuvres and dessert stations. Festive hats, horns, and noisemakers are complimentary as well as Champagne at midnight.

Not to be outdone, Tony Stark has the entire street outside of the hotel set up with a DJ and the largest speaker setup anyone has ever seen, blasting an upbeat playlist of blood-pumping music. Woden is, unfortunately, uninvited from performing after the events of last month, his photo passed around to security and bouncers alike to remove him from performing. Unfortunately, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, who had planned on attending, is immediately removed from the premises by mistake. He can be heard screaming through his vocodor that there is some sort of mistake, but his cries go untended. As with the rooftop above, complimentary Champane and alcohol is served at ground level.

At midnight, the countdown begins to 2018, with a fireworks display the moment the ball drops at 12:00, a joint effort between both billionaires, and one of the few things the both of them could actually agree upon for the evening. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE AT MOM!]

[ Well, that's one way to spark a conversation? To cut right to the chase and leave out all the awkward chit chat, it has Jean glance to him for a moment before she looks back out towards everything else. ]

Seems like it. [ She swirls her champagne around in her glass for a moment before looking back to him. ] I'm guessing the same can't be said for you?
redheat: redheat. (❝he's like a weekend lover❞)

The not recognizing me part.

[ It's said softly, as if slightly amused, a glance given to him before she helps herself to a sip from her champagne. ]

Not one for the crowds?
redheat: redheat. (❝you never know when love will come❞)

[ There's a hint of a grin at that remark. It's only after another sip of her champagne that Jean holds her hand out then, taking his into hers. ]

Jean Grey.
redheat: redheat. (❝she's hanging her hopes on stars❞)

[ Well that certainly earns him a raised brow. ]

How else am I supposed to look?
redheat: redheat. (❝she can't remember being needed❞)

[ Jean's gaze drops to her glass of champagne as she takes that in. Somehow it's not exactly all that surprising to her? Considering where they are and what she's been briefed on from the government, she can't say it's that far-fetched to think. It's just that... she doesn't remember being here before. ]

I'm assuming we knew each other then?
redheat: redheat. (❝but you're not the one who left her❞)

[personal profile] redheat 2018-01-02 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Curiously, she tilts her head and it's really no surprise that she assumes such a thing- ]

The X-Men?
redheat: redheat. (❝she thought it would last forever❞)

[personal profile] redheat 2018-01-02 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
They are. It's what I'm a part of.

[ Finishing off her champagne, she looks to Bruce again. ]

But I guess that's not the case here.
