The Park, New Years Eve Party 2010

Dec 31, 2010 11:49

The gates and walls of Fandom were covered in lights big and small, and as soon as the sun went down, they went on. They could be followed, like a path, down to the park, where even the trees shone brightly in the night ( Read more... )

Arrivals - NYE 2010 justhisblogger December 31 2010, 10:51:40 UTC

Make your way down from your homes to the park, admire the lights and the sculptures...

Re: Arrivals - NYE 2010 endsthegame December 31 2010, 12:35:09 UTC

In recent years, Ender had worn old suits and older uniforms. But he'd brought back several dress uniforms from Eros. These were his dress greys, devoid of any insignia of rank (he wasn't about to invite questions about his admiral status) but obviously military.

He had a faint smile on his face, but his thoughts weren't entirely with the party.

Well, at least Dolf could be sure there wasn't a real dress code, this time? Beyond coats. He liked his coat. It kept him warm.

He was maybe a little fidgety upon entrance, but he quickly forgot about that as he got lost in all the lights.

Bruce arrived, wearing a nice suit (as if he had any other kind) with a nice coat on over it. Also, nice gloves.

And then he tried to get over to the fringes of the party as quickly as he could. He preferred New Year's to Christmas, but he still wasn't as excited as he would pretend to be if anyone approached him to talk.

Food and Drink - NYE 2010 justhisblogger December 31 2010, 10:52:47 UTC

Take your pick of the food on display. Most obvious are the thermoses of hot soup, coffee, and cocoa, both in spiked and unspiked forms. Warm yourself up for the long night ahead!

Re: Food and Drink - NYE 2010 swordsandsoccer December 31 2010, 12:38:26 UTC

Dolf hovered towards the food, though really, he was a little of two minds about it. He kept sneaking glances at the iced-over pond while he ate his tomato soup, and kind of longed for a good bowl of pea soup.

Spiked drinks? Alex grabbed himself a thermos and started drinking, already feeling warmer. This might not have been the party of last year but it was still a party and there was still alcohol to have.

Re: Food and Drink - NYE 2010 pastmewrong December 31 2010, 21:49:28 UTC

Effy wasn't one for showing at parties early, so it was well into the evening when she eventually slid up to Alex, with a small smile. "Looking festive."

Just like she hadn't seen him for two weeks at all. Nor like the last conversation they'd had hadn't exactly ended well.

Whether you're looking to hide under the picnic shelters or by some of the slightly less well-lit trees, there was still space to huddle up and lurk.

Re: Shadowy Corners - NYE 2010 endsthegame December 31 2010, 12:36:05 UTC

Ender had taken a cup of unspiked cocoa and availed himself to a spot a little while away from one of the bonfires. He sipped from it, occasionally casting a glance towards the fire, but he was fairly content with his spot.

Re: Shadowy Corners - NYE 2010 shes_got_legs December 31 2010, 17:45:33 UTC

"Good view of the party from here?" Ariel, making her rounds, was glad that so many people chose the outskirts, because then it was easier to find them. She sidled up to Ender with a smile and a cup of cocoa of her own, red cheeked and pleased.

Re: Shadowy Corners - NYE 2010 endsthegame December 31 2010, 17:50:15 UTC

"More than decent," Ender agreed, lifting up his own cup of... terribly boring cocoa. "Are you enjoying yourself so far?"

Dancing! - NYE 2010 justhisblogger December 31 2010, 10:54:46 UTC

It wouldn't be a Fandom party if there wasn't music playing, inviting everyone to come dance out under the stars, in the snow, near the light of the bonfires.

Re: Dancing! - NYE 2010 bluth_illusions December 31 2010, 13:41:10 UTC

GOB was still standing just off the side of the dance floor with his "Magical Snowman" directing lonely women towards the dance floor and him. He felt it was a foolproof plan, although it was most likely to prove that he was a fool.

Re: Dancing! - NYE 2010 dojima_hime December 31 2010, 22:40:22 UTC

It was a dance floor, where else did people expect Dōjima to be? The coat had been abandoned hours ago, and she was just enjoying the music.

Skating! - NYE 2010 justhisblogger December 31 2010, 10:57:19 UTC

Or on the other side of the divide, the ice on the pond is thick enough for any would-be ice skaters to entertain themselves.

Re: Skating! - NYE 2010 shes_got_legs December 31 2010, 17:14:32 UTC

There was skating. Skating. As if Ariel didn't already planned on being here, the skating would have definitely convinced her, so she was sparing no time in strapping on some skates and having at the pond, because it was definitely one of her favorites next to dancing.

Re: Skating! - NYE 2010 chief_cheerio December 31 2010, 19:07:07 UTC

Was it really a surprise that Quinn had taken ice skating lessons to go along with the cheerleading and dance? She glided along easily, attempting a few spins and jumps just in case anybody cute was watching.

Re: Skating! - NYE 2010 icecoldfrost December 31 2010, 19:52:27 UTC

This was where people would find Emma most of the night. She'd loved skating, ever since she was little, and it showed in her smooth circuit around the pond and small jumps.
