VELVET ROOM PARTY

[finchmods]

VELVET ROOM PARTY

All of the students who RSVPed on Khalil's journal post fall asleep surprisingly early Saturday night, some recognizing their own fatigue and calling it a night early while others drift off accidentally on couches or at desks. Regardless of how difficult they normally find it, this sleep is deep and comes over them quickly and completely. When their eyes open next, they're not in their dorms anymore. Instead, they're... in an old school roller rink? The rink itself is large and has a disco ball suspended above it; music is pumping through the speaker system, though the DJ booth off to the side of the rink is vacant. There's a concession stand stocked with various snacks, different kids of booze, and soda, alongside which there are tables to sit at. Off to one side there's a circle of low, ottoman-like seats for Spin the Bottle, and nearby is a utility closet, complete with broom to totally get in your way, for Seven Minutes in Heaven. There are also a few 'party rooms' if you need a little bit of privacy, but the doors don't lock and there are windows in the doors, so, you know. Everything looks pretty typical, except for the blue door at the far end of the building where the entrance would be.

As at the other parties, the students find that they're not wearing what they were when they went to bed. Now, they're dressed in (primarily blue) clothes that are a little bit retro. Like, 80's and 90's retro. There's an abundance of neon, tight fitting materials, and loud patterns, all of which, honestly, look pretty great under the lights on the rink. The party's host, meanwhile, wears a striped referee shirt with deep blue instead of black stripes, and has a whistle hanging around his neck that's going to be a little ineffectual, what with his mask and all. When the partygoers arrive he's standing behind the counter at the skate rental area, arms spread out and braced on the counter. Come check out a pair of skates and get to skating! Or, like, whatever you want to do, he guesses.

Early in the evening, Khalil approaches Thalia Mitchell with a request... can she name his friend? Alongside him is the mysterious Velvet Room denizen Thalia had seen before. Though her body language suggests she's not entirely pleased with it, they settle on Joni (Mitchell) as her name, and she spends most of the party wandering around and avoiding speaking too much with anyone. Meredith Rhydderch overhears a conversation with Khalil and Joni, where Khalil suggests she personally apologize to Marzio Sarno, Slade Winchester, Russell Reeve, and Luke Pokorny for scaring them. She refuses, but does at least take the time to sneak a glance at each of them.

» SKATE RENTAL: Khalil is handing out skates when he's not 'policing' the rink! Fill out the form to see what, uh, unique skates or blades you get!

» THE RINK: No one will yell at you if you walk out in your sneakers to dance in the center, but it is more fun if you skate, you know? The DJ booth alongside the rink has a computer hooked up with access to a lot of music, if you want to pick some beats.

» CONCESSION STAND & TABLES: Stocked with just about anything you could want food-wise and drink-wise. As usual, a couple of the items are blue that shouldn't be, like the popcorn. Right next to the concession stand are tables where you can take a seat, chill out, and stuff your face with everything you grabbed.

» PARTY GAMES: A small circle of ottoman-like seats has been set up for party games off to the side of the tables! Spin the Bottle and Seven Minutes in Heaven are the mainstays, but it's easy enough to start your own games, too! Nearby there's a tiny utility closet that's a tight squeeze for two people.

» PARTY ROOMS: There are three side rooms set up with tables and lots of blue balloons, like they've been set up for birthday parties. The doors on these rooms don't lock, and there are small windows on the doors, so they're only slightly private.

» END OF THE NIGHT: At some point (god, how long has it been?), there's a feeling of restlessness in the air, as though night is coming to a close and they'll be waking up soon. Best to get your last hurrahs in!

» OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS!

Please note: Students arrive with nothing they had on them in the real world (including their journals) - so no journaling while here! If you can find Khalil, you can ask him for things, though.

THE RINK

[finchmods]

Scout & Flint

[star_boy]

It's still fairly early in the evening, which means Scout hasn't gotten up the nerve to check out skates yet and instead is just leaning on the low wall around the rink, watching his classmates enjoy themselves. He's sipping at a mixed drink as he does so, the alcohol slowly unwinding the tension in his frame. He'll go to Atticus's party at some point, and attempt to skate, and maybe make his way over to the party games if he's feeling really adventurous, but for now... a slow start to the evening seems nice. Especially with everything that's been going on. And especially with all his worries about Flint rattling around in his head.

CONCESSION STAND & TABLES

[finchmods]

Blake & OPEN

[undebted]

Blake hasn't gotten drunk in over a year. She won't—can't—make a claim of saintliness, only that it hadn't felt... safe. The way she used to party, they'd down straight shots and sugary drinks until they were barely standing at the end of the night. Arms linked tight, leaning against each other in sequin dresses and slippery high heels. Laughing.

But it's safe here. A dream. No way out of this party except right back home, into her own bed. Blake selects a bottle of clear liquid, and pours herself a shot, which she knocks back with practiced efficiency. Vodka. Good. Blake pours herself another.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATTICUS

[opalescents]

Thanks to Khalil's generosity, Pearl was able to put together something that LOOKS like that birthday party your mom threw you when you were twelve, with fancier hamburgers. (She doesn't like blue cheese and makes a point to separate them on to a different plate from the good ones as best as she can.) The whole room is definitely haphazardly decorated; she looped friends in to help, but the streamers are off center and the balloons are less artful, more let's fill up as much of this space as possible. There's several tables for board games, one for food, and Pearl spends an inordinate amount of time and volume shooing people into the room, if she thinks they should be there.

The benefit of this is that she will only make the small room, and not the entire roller rink, sing Happy Birthday when it's time to cut the cake.

END OF THE NIGHT

[finchmods]

Neal and Dustin

[heliocentrist]

It's late, and everyone is taking off their skates. Time is meaningless here, but it feels like they're nearing the end. How long have they been partying? Three hours? Six? Ten? Neal can't tell. The old digital watch on his hand doesn't seem to be reflecting any real numbers.

Just in his socks, Neal weaves his way over to Dustin with a bright grin. "Guess who doesn't love me," he teases with all the trappings of someone who's in a good mood.
