Star Wars Day Party!

[bubblewrapped]

May the 4th Party

It's May 4th - Star Wars Day! And Event Committee has seen fit to temporarily hand the reins and resources over to Lucas Kowalski and the school's Star Wars nerds to organize a celebration.

After classes, and with judicious use of magic and modular cardboard walls, the atrium is quickly transformed into four different sections: the Death Star, the Cantina, the Millennium Falcon and Jabba's Palace. Students are welcomed to don a costume, grab some blue milk and celebrate Star Wars day with some fake lightsaber fights and a movie showing.

HOW THIS WORKS

• The festivities begin at 6PM and end before curfew.


• The movie starts at 6:45.


• Drinks, snacks and all other features are offered throughout the event, so don't hesitate to wander around.

» Before the Party: May the 4th is a costume party! While dressing up isn't required, it is encouraged. Make plans and get ready with friends before the festivities begin.

» ENTRANCE; THE GALACTIC IDENTITY ISSUANCE DROID: Those seeking entry to the party start here, in a small, modular room made to look like the interior of the Death Star - clean and shiny; black and gray illuminated by bright white lights imbedded in the walls. On either side of the room are nondescript gray bins filled with Star Wars-esque props - tunics and robes and toy blasters and lightsabers, a wookiee mask or two - for party-goers to root through for accessories. Against the far wall, an open blast door leading to the party proper is guarded by Gee-ID, the Galactic Identity Issuance Droid, a "robot" that looks a lot like a garbage can. Step up to Gee-ID to receive your "designation" for the party.

» THE CANTINA; STAR WARS MOCKTAILS: Passing through the open blast doors, gives way to a new, large room made to look like Mos Eisley Cantina, complete with dim lighting, large bar and plenty of private booths and dark corners to shoot first, conduct illicit business deals or attempt some canoodling. Thrummy dance music is being piped in from somewhere, loud enough to dance to. A couple of freshman stand by, ready to serve up Star Wars-themed mocktails to patrons. There are a few interesting surprises to be found, but if you want alcohol, I hope you brought your flask.

» THE MILLENNIUM FALCON; THE ATRIUM PROPER: A large portion of the atrium has been decorated to look like the interior of the Millennium Falcon. Grungey retro-futuristic, with plenty of blinking lights and odd tubes to nowhere. It's still quite open, lacking the cramped feeling of the starship, but there's plenty of places to mingle. A couple of "holo chess" boards have been set up with wizard's chess pieces charmed to be translucent. And there's a cordoned off area where people can safely have mock lightsaber battles, if they so desire.

» JABBA'S PALACE; THE MOVIE: This part of the atrium is warm and dark, full of comfortable chairs, pillows and blankets, all arranged around a screen that will be showing A New Hope. One of the atrium's old couches has been Transfigured into a to-scale Jabba the Hutt, but, who's going to sit on that?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARI!

[bubblewrapped]

A glittering black and purple banner, proclaiming "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARI!" in Basic has been hung up in one part of the Cantina. In the nearby booth, decorated with streamers Transfigured to look like paper lightsabers, a wookiee cake sits waiting. When Ariadne enters the Cantina for the first time, the music automagically fades to a Star Wars-y rendition of Happy Birthday and even the freshmen join in to sing along.

Nia & Addy

[heyitsnia]

Nia flicks her finger against the reinforced cardboard-painted-like-stone wall of the booth she's crammed into, to test out how sturdy it is. Surprisingly well put together.

"Obsessively recreating movie sets is a much better pastime than trying to eat medical foam," she muses to Addy as she swirls the glowing green drink in front of her with its lightsaber stirrer. "Or...whatever else people are getting up to."

THE ATRIUM: MILLENNIUM FALCON

[bubblewrapped]

Georgie & Chloe

[wholegrain]

"Ooh, what's his name??" Georgie, who knows exactly zero things about Star Wars, points at a chair covered in tubes and lights. It's clearly supposed to be one of those robot guys, right? "Or can I name him?"

Who Gave Them Weapons

[godzillabutworse]

It'd be a straight-up lie to say they'd acquired these lightsabers in a completely above board fashion. But, they also didn't really do it surreptitiously, either.

"How hard do you think I can swing this before it breaks?" Nisha asks, extending the plastic blue blade of her toy lightsaber and loudly making her own sound effects to go along with it.

Jade & Ari

[odder]

This is pretty much the place of Jade's dreams, and she hasn't stopped swaggering around in her Han Solo Halloween costume, short skirt and blaster and all, since she stepped foot in the Great Hall. Or more accurately, today, her ship. She's sunk into one of the glowing chess tables, lazily trying to charm a figure to look more like one of the aliens. Her feet had, until seconds ago, been slung up on to the table very Han-style, but her legs aren't really long enough for all that, and he never had to wear a skirt.

Ari's there, though, and Jade grins at her, as rogue-like as she can. "I'll let you win, for your birthday." She gestures to the board. She's played chess maybe ten times before.

MOVIE VIEWING: JABBA'S PALACE

[bubblewrapped]

SITTING IN THE LAP OF JABBA THE HUTT

[stclair]

Micah's eyes light up and, he makes a beeline for the Jabba couch. Which is really just a big Jabba and not a couch. That's not going to stop him. Micah clambers onto Jabba's back and drapes himself on it like a spice-addled dancing girl.

"You guys!!! It's like not even slimy at all!"

Lucas & Open

[bubblewrapped]

It's rare that Lucas looks genuinely happy in a crowded space. Flashes of laughter or a small smile, sure - usually reserved for when he's buffered by close friends. But, tonight, though his head dips into his shoulders and his arms could stand to be a little less tight at his sides, his smile is wide and earnest. Awkward, yes, but beaming. And how could he not be, after what he'd helped to put together?

Having shooed away the freshman standing guard at the entrance separating the Millennium Falcon from Jabba's Palace, Lucas softly greets each passerby, handing out miniature lightsaber glowsticks. "Be sure to disrupt the movie for everyone." He advises, joking, as he hands off a red one.

Essie still doesn't Understand how you guys think this is cooler than cowboys but she's here and she hopes you guys remembered your blasters from Christmas.

Ursula.... knows what a wookiee is, but not how to spell it, and she's here to support this endeavor. It's.. a lot to take in. I imagine she helped with some of the setup.

Re: OOC - SHITPOSTING!

[racingstripe]

depending on how busy my day is i might throw in at least a couple randos who just tried to wander through the lodge and got caught up in this mess

so
if you have any weird thread pairing requests I'm probably amenable

Re: OOC - SHITPOSTING!

[bubblewrapped]

Just an FYI all of my kids are potentially here. Lucas and Nisha are my earnest Star Wars fans and the rest of them are around because they heard there was a movie/saw something weird happening/etc. So if anyone wants to thread with any of mine lmk!!

Re: OOC - SHITPOSTING!

[cygninae]

ADORABLEEEEEE

Reid is here and of all my characters is the most into Star Wars of all my characters.
Calvin will be following Micah around looking deeply confused.
Spencer is drawn to crowds like a moth to a flame or ants to a picnic. He has sufficient knowledge about the pop culture juggernaut that is Star Wars.

And my others (Ophelia, Archie, Kenzie) will show up if their friends do. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THEM.

Re: OOC - SHITPOSTING!

[websterknox]

This is INCREDIBLE. I'll have Webster here in anyone wants to scene with my boy! He's down to make new friends.
