CARNEY PARTY 3; WILD WEST

Saddle up, partner. This New Year’s Eve, we’re heading out west!

The Carney house is decked out in a rustic Wild West theme. The place is covered in hay bales, mason jars, and cacti (even inside). Cameron greets each guest that arrives with a silver pistol that shoots paintballs. For dinner, a house elf catering company appears, cooking barbeque over a pit in the yard. There’s also plenty of alcohol - beer, liquor, wine, you name it.

HOW THIS WORKS

  • Everyone in the school is invited! As with parties Cameron has held in the past, the rules are simple: have fun, don’t make too much of a mess, and if you break something reparo it. The party starts at 6 PM, and anyone is welcome to stay the night and take the bus back to school from here in the morning.

  • Characters without costumes can pull an item from the costume chest, but once they pull, they’re obligated to wear it or risk mockery for being a spoilsport. There is also a mechanical bull riding contest out in the yard. The character with the longest ride will win a prize! You may do each of these up to three times, and I’ll keep rnging for them until 11:59 PM on 1/1.

  • There will be party games including truth, shot, or strip and spin the bottle/seven minutes in heaven.


» FOYER; COSTUME CHEST: Those without costumes are encouraged to pull at least one item from the chest set up in the foyer. Whatever you pull out, you have to wear! The chest is charmed so that you can’t see what you’ve got until you pull it out.

» LIVING ROOM: Have a seat on a hay bale! Or a regular couch.

» BACKYARD: The yard is surrounded by facades that mimic an old western town. There’s a heated pool and a hot tub, but the lows tonight are 21. Beside the pool, there’s a mechanical bull surrounded by padding. If you can go for the longest ride, you’ll win a prize!

» DEN; PARTY GAMES: The den has been set up for party games, including truth, shot, or strip and spin the bottle/seven minutes in heaven.

» 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.

» MIDNIGHT: Near midnight, Cameron encourages everyone to stop what they’re doing and come outside, where champagne and sparklers are handed out. The fireworks start about ten minutes til, crescendoing during the countdown, with a big finale at midnight. Grab someone to smooch!

» MORNING AFTER: Who’s hungover and where did you puke? Did you stick around to catch the bus back to school from Olympus?

» OOC - Questions, comments, concerns!

Two alternatives to just lying. Very nice.

Ruby gives a look like Hazel just stripped off her stinky socks in front of everyone. "No." It's a bit too emphatic. Ruby lifts her shot glass, but doesn't drink. "What about you? You're not really into attachments either."
lilwitchhazel: (sizin you up)

[personal profile] lilwitchhazel 2018-01-01 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
The urge to tell Ruby to not have a stankface is strong, but Hazel just takes a sip of her non-game-related drink instead as she shrugs. "I'm open to them, if something comes along. But nothing has, soooo, here we are."

Fuck it, she's not drunk enough yet. Ruby drinks her shot. "It's just boys for you, right? Slim pickings in this school, if you don't want an idiot."

"Liiiike, I'm not anti girl or anything, just never felt a thing for one or been as into the kissing, so. Probs just dudes."

Hazel shrugs, thinks about it, and grabs a shot to hold it up to Ruby to clink with her empty shot glass. They agree on something and it feels like that deserves a cheers. "At least most of them are cute!"

Ruby smiles as their glasses clink. She's grabbing a bottle for a refill. "They're something, alright. Good luck. I don't think these boys can handle you." She holds the bottle out for Hazel, ready to pour.
lilwitchhazel: (i'm not gonna say anything)

"Something," Hazel echoes, and she's smiling a bit too. Maybe Ruby is ok sometimes. "And they probs can't, but maybe one of them will surprise me." She holds her glass steady to receive the offered alcohol, because why not?

"Is the school still standing?" He trusts her enough to not know if the answer's yes or no.

"Unfortunately. Although I was getting bored enough to set something on fire." She drinks a shot, because she wants a shot. "Speaking of fires. Kissed anyone cute in Maine?"

"His brother's dating a pretzel man," Spencer adds uselessly, too dunk to comprehend the entire conversation. Please ignore him.

"He's right, he is." Ira nods. Actually. He checks his phone. "They kissed and they didn't need me to save them after all." He updates the circle with something they probably didn't need to know anyway. "But no, I didn't kiss anyone in Maine, personally."

Ruby smiles, more genuine than her usual. She understands doting on a little brother.

"Boring. No one in Maine cute enough, or no one in Maine thinks you're cute? What's the quality of potential kiss partners in Portland?"

"For kissing? I'll kiss anyone once." She means it too. They don't even have to be super hot; Ruby's standards are dirt low. "More than once... I'm not getting into it with someone I live with. I have to be able to sleep in that cabin." She salutes Fern with her shot glass and drinks, because the rules of this game are dumb. "What's your deal breaker?"

"Poor hygiene," Fern answers without having to think too hard. "Nothing ruins the mood like B.O."

Did Fern blush a little? "Generally pretty good," she answers.

She doesn't argue, but does press, "Who is the cutest human being in the school?"

Ruby's eyes scan the circle, but there's not really an easy answer. "Cute" is a word reserved for teddy bears. Cute is fun, but not particularly intriguing. "Right now? You, birthday girl."

London didn't miss the 'right now' part, but she beams none the less. "Thank you!" she says, effectively distracted from her line of questioning.
