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!

Bianca showed up a little later in the night. Her plan had been to stay at home and watch the ball drop on the no-maj television in her den, but she got bored and antsy after an hour and decided to make the trip out to Cameron's party instead. This was her last year to mess around before she'd be a senior, she may as well have some fun while it was still possible.

While it was fun (in a depressing way) to watch his parents enthusiastically perform various classic karaoke songs, Milo did not want his last day of 2014 to be spent with his parents. He missed Bianca, for one, and it just seemed sort of lame for another. Fortunately, they understood, and he was quickly freed to do as he pleased. Calvin's offer had been tempting, but the opportunity to kiss his girl at midnight had won out.

As he entered Cameron's, he glanced around, a smile tugging up his lips when he spotted her. Slipping up behind her, he placed his hands over her eyes playfully.

Bianca began to laugh, trying to hide the fact that she'd been startled. "Now who could that be?" she wondered aloud, having zero indication that Milo had arrived or was even coming. Who else would come up behind her like that though? Knowing she'd never figure this out, she gently tugged his hands down and spun around, gasping in delight when her eyes laid upon her boyfriend.

"Milo!" She flung her arms around him, hugging him a little longer than was probably necessary. She'd missed him, though, and now that he was there everything felt right in the world again.

Finally releasing him from her grasp, Bianca took a step back and grinned like an idiot. "How'd you get free from your parents' clutches?"
