CARNEY PARTY 4; HOLLYWOOD

The Carney house is decked out in a glitzy Hollywood theme, in red, black, and gold. Get your picture taken on the red carpet as you approach the front doors. For dinner, there are heavy hors d'oeuvres. There’s also plenty of alcohol - beer, liquor, wine, you name it.

HOW THIS WORKS

Everyone is invited, including graduates! You don’t need to be friends with, or even really know, Cameron to come. The party starts at 7 PM, and anyone is welcome to stay the night. There are spare bedrooms, and since the weather is nice, tents set up on the back lawn.

When people arrive, they will be given a movie prop which they must wear or carry for the whole night, or risk being caught and required to take a shot!

There is an improv movie competition where characters will be given RNGed roles and plots. The best scene will win a prize!

There will be party games including “Never Have I Ever” and “Most Likely To”. Feel free to throw in other games if you want!

I'll keep RNGing until 11:59 PM PST on 4/1. Winners for Make a Scene and Attached at the Hip will be announced on 4/2

» FOYER; COSTUME CHEST: The costume chest has made a reappearance! When anyone arrives, they’ll be asked to pull one item from the chest. It will be a famous prop or costume piece from a movie. The chest is charmed so that you can’t see what you’ve got until you pull it out. No matter how silly it is, you are required to wear it or have it on hand for the entire evening. If someone catches you without and calls you on it, you have to take a shot. You may return your item and draw again at the penalty of one shot!

» LIVING ROOM: A small stage area and a video camera have been set up in the living area. Get ready to “Make a Scene”! Two or more characters will be given RNGed rolls to play and a basic plot. “yes and…” your way through a scene. The best scene wins a prize!

» BACKYARD: There’s a heated pool and a hot tub. There are tents set up in the yard for overflow sleeping arrangements, but the low tonight is 39, so find someone to snuggle with.

» DEN; PARTY GAMES: The den has been set up for party games: “Most Likely To,” “Attached at the Hip,” and “Never Have I Ever.” Feel free to add others!

» BEDROOMS: Anyone is welcome to stay, but it’s up to you to figure out where, because Cameron isn’t organizing it. There are five unlocked bedrooms, plenty of couches and chairs, five full baths, and lots of floor space. Work it out.

» MORNING AFTER: Who’s hungover and where did you puke?

» OOC - 🎂 Questions, comments, concerns!

"We didn't disappear from the wedding," Casper protests with a note of irritation in his voice, "We disappeared from getting shitfaced on the beach and competitive skinny dipping." His sharpening expression softens a bit when Iliya joins he conversation and he turns to look at the other boy. He seems to hesitate and unintentionally punctuates that fact by averting his eyes and toying with his hair again.

He could just tell them. It could actually be good to tell them. "...It was fine. He wouldn't let me swim." Or not. He closes his eyes and wishes he'd brought another drink.

"Aw, bless. Look at him, keepin' you in line." Ulysses teases, although he's completely under a blanket, so good luck parsing anything he's said. He wriggles his way out from his woollen prison, and, in doing so, is forced to push himself into a corner. Congratulations, Cameron — your gambit worked.

"Now you know how it feels." And so the protective becomes the protected. How you like them apples, Casper?

"So, the most fun part of the wedding," Cameron says, tossing a piece of popcorn into his mouth before holding out the bucket to offer it to the group. "Someone needs to take care of Casper, anyway. Lord knows he'd never let any of us."

Ulysses immediately grabs a fistful of popcorn before the bucket can be shepherded past him. About two kernels will be tossed into his own mouth; the rest, unfortunately for everyone in this tent, will be ammunition.

"Nobody needs to take care of me," Casper retorts with a faint huff of irritation, knowing that this assertion shouldn't bother him as much as it does. His friends are just giving him shit. And, after last year, even he has to acknowledge the necessity of relying on others to get through all sorts of upheavals. But it still rubs him the wrong way and he's a little too drunk to be rational about it. "Besides. Asher's the one that needs to be taken care of."

"Everybody needs taking care of. But you gotta take care of him too, I reckon, cause you always gotta be the... taker care for people you love," Cameron says, more than a little drunk and leaning across half the occupants of the tent to grab another fistful of popcorn. "Someday, you're gonna have to let someone else."

"Like hell," Casper responds dryly, though his dark eyes have lowered again and he seems to be getting restless. Maybe because all of this needling feels a bit too on point. Maybe because part of him does want to talk. Get this shit out of the way. And maybe...ask what his friends think about this unexpected turn with Asher.

That possibility feels absurd but simultaneously right. Even if there's likely to be some gawking and some crowing and some teasing before any of them will say anything useful. Abruptly, he reaches to grab Wilde's beer and takes a deep drink before handing it back. Then he takes the plunge. Sort of.

"He...wants to. Though."
