The Park, Saturday Evening

Dec 31, 2011 15:20

During the afternoon, workers had built up a large firepit in the center of the park. Smaller ones were built a short distance away from it, just to make sure nobody froze during the festivities ( Read more... )

Arrive/Mingle! | NYE 2011 endsthegame December 31 2011, 14:23:35 UTC

The way down to the party is well-lit with tiny yellow and white lights along the way. Do dress warmly - it's still more than a little cold out.

Re: Arrive/Mingle! | NYE 2011 wrongkindofsith December 31 2011, 15:24:47 UTC

Cara's leathers were more than warm enough to stand the cold, especially considering the prospect of fires, which frankly were the main thing drawing her down to the park, rather than spending the evening in the gym or her room.

Nathan's skinny frame was going to take a lot of layers to make him warm but he had a disguised flask in his pocket that he figured would more than help him warm up a little later.

For now, he had some cocoa in his hand and even if he felt like a fucking pansy, he had to admit that it was pretty fucking good.

There were bonfires (and more free food)? Mercy was there. It may have been cold, but compared to winter in Aspen Creek, it was nothing.

Food and Drink! | NYE 2011 endsthegame December 31 2011, 14:24:59 UTC

Set up along long buffet tables not too far from the main bonfire, there's plenty of food to choose from, hearty stuff to get you through the winter. There's also cocoa, and for the more enterprising among you, there's a section dedicated to raw food to cook above one of the fires.

If Peter was going to be stuck here, he might as well stick to where the people were. So he loaded up with food and sat down here, keeping an eye out.

If this place was gonna keep giving him free food, Alec was gonna make fun of Jace for being fat next time he saw him. He'd work it off in the salle this place apparently had later or something. Right now he was gonna eat to his heart's content.

Re: Food and Drink! | NYE 2011 need_no_moon December 31 2011, 16:26:48 UTC

Food. Of course, Jake would be here and he would be roasting some sausages over the fire as his stomach rumbled in anticipation.

Where it's nice and warm. Either settle down by the main bonfire, or huddle around one of the smaller ones, where there's less people.

Re: By the Bonfire(s) | NYE 2011 wrongkindofsith December 31 2011, 15:31:40 UTC

Cara had found a fire on the edge of the festivities and was sitting with her back to it so her eyes stayed somewhat adjusted to the darkness beyond the light up areas.

Yeah, she was never going to be very good at either being social or faking it.

Re: By the Bonfire(s) | NYE 2011 endsthegame December 31 2011, 15:36:25 UTC

Ender had a small plate of food that he probably wouldn't finish, and with it, he settled down by the main bonfire. He didn't want to retreat too far from the crowds, but he wasn't inclined to dive in, either.

Re: By the Bonfire(s) | NYE 2011 momslilassassin December 31 2011, 21:00:09 UTC

Ben sat down next to him after some time spent mingling and snagged a snack from Ender's plate.

"Happy New Year."

Skating | NYE 2011 endsthegame December 31 2011, 14:26:48 UTC

The pond has frozen over! And one clever entrepreneur has rushed in to take advantage of it. You can rent skates here and go for a round on the pond, or brave it on your normal shoes...

Re: Skating | NYE 2011 swordsandsoccer December 31 2011, 15:43:47 UTC

It'd been over a year since the last time Dolf had gotten to skate properly. He didn't mind ponying up some of his hard-earned money for a pair.

Soon, he was taking to the ice, half-pretending he was at home.

Re: Skating | NYE 2011 asgardcreated December 31 2011, 17:20:56 UTC

There were ice. And skates. Which meant Jon was there, having a blast.

At some point, he'd head over for food and drink. Right now, he was going to try and get a group together for a hockey game.

Re: Skating | NYE 2011 batwaffles December 31 2011, 17:51:18 UTC

Ice skating on a pond? Like, an actual frozen pond? Instead of an indoor rink (and those were kind of dodgy places in Gotham anyway)?

Maybe she had to fork over money for it, but Stephanie paid for the skates and hit the ice. She was all over this experience, wheeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Countdown! | NYE 2011 endsthegame December 31 2011, 14:28:16 UTC

As the midnight hour approached, some squirrels turned up with a stack of numbers.

They lined up near the bonfire and started to flip them in turn.

10.. 9... 8...

Re: Countdown! | NYE 2011 willbethenight January 1 2012, 02:06:15 UTC

With the countdown starting, Bruce stood slightly off to the side, counting down along with everyone else.

[OOC: I'm heading off for NYE fun times now, but if anyone would like to step up and make a quick play for a midnight kiss in SP, please, go ahead.]

Re: Countdown! | NYE 2011 wrongkindofsith January 1 2012, 02:47:42 UTC

Cara wasn't counting down, but she had also been standing off to the side. She wasn't exactly trying to creep up on Bruce, but she was making an effort to move silently.

It was her duty as a friend to keep him on his toes. Yep. Really. That.

[She thinks she's so clever.]

Re: Countdown! | NYE 2011 willbethenight January 1 2012, 10:13:41 UTC

"Kissing anyone at midnight, Cara?" Bruce asked. It was tough to sneak up on him. And once he realized that someone was, it was a matter of figuring out who could, would, and was at the party. Elementary from there.
