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!

Cameron nods at Casper's conclusion. "Well, there's your plan! I like it. Taking it slow, nothing wrong with that. Gotta get a feel for each other." He nods. "Anyone else got any problems we should collectively solve?"

Cameron waves at Wilde enthusiastically upon his arrival, like he hasn't seen him in ages. "A girl's got a crush on Casper. He was just contemplating telling us who. Eventually. Maybe," Cameron explains. Ulysses has the beginnings of a smug expression, but Cameron can't quite tell if it means anything or if it's just his face. "If we get him drunk enough."

"Casper is already drunk," Iliya reminds him. For his part, he gives Wilde a very manly welcoming nod. He suspects he might be the most sober person here, and gets to work on finishing his drink. "We could try guessing. Many girls have a crush on Casper." He pauses. "And boys."

Oh, good call Iliya. Ulysses drains his glass in one long swallow and it's remarkable how quickly he feels it go to his head. "All right," he says once he's finished drinking. "20 questions, it is."

It's clear he's going to have way too much fun with this.

"Casper could always be drunker. It's the sober truth."

Wilde doesn't need another drink, but he takes one anyway. He grins brilliantly, half at the others and half at himself, then ventures a first question. "Is she in our year? Casper. A senior?"

Casper barely has time to give Wilde a glance and a welcoming nod of acknowledgment before the conversation (which had been, he had to admit, moderately helpful) deteriorates into a game. It happens before he can even protest and his dark eyes move from Cameron to Iliya to Ulysses to Wilde, narrowing. "I'm not drunk and I'm not telling you," he snaps, though he doesn't rise to make any kind of escape attempt just yet.

His mistake. This drink was stronger than Iliya thought. "Ah," he says, sounding totally unruffled by Casper's ire. Iliya looks over at Cameron. "You were right. We must get him drunk."

Cameron nods his agreement with Iliya. "You're right." He stands up, immediately regretting his bare, wet feet once he does. How does Austin do this all the time? "I'm going to get Casper another drink. Anybody else want anything?"

While not drunk enough to be pushed into giving up Gwen's name, Casper is drunk enough to momentarily consider the value of another drink. But no. Now he's feeling stubborn. When Cameron stands, he stands and shakes his head and states flatly, "Not happening."

"But whyyyyy?" Wilde drunkenly wheedles. Then he cracks up, amused by the resolute shake of Casper's head. Like. Very no. "Peer pressure."

"Molya te. Vodka and coke," Iliya requests. Sometimes Casper is quite effective in intimidating Iliya, but not while Ulysses, Cameron and Wilde are in the room. The five of them know each other too well now. "She must be a senior. Casper is eighteen, he would not consider a junior or younger."

Ulysses waves his empty glass in Cameron's direction. "Get me something nice," he instructs, leaving the further details up to his friend's discretion. He twists around to look up at the much, much taller boy. Squints up at his increasingly-blurry face. "Whatever Casper's drinking." He hopes this means champagne for both of them, but... maybe Casper needs some hard liquor.

Then, he turns back to the three of them that are still sitting. "I sure hope so," he says, in reply to Iliya's assertion. "'Cause I only know about... three juniors whose names I could guess."

Actually, he knows eight juniors, but close enough.

Even with quite a few drinks in him and even among his closest friends, there's only so much teasing Casper is willing to take. And he's hit his limit. "You can all fuck off," he informs them coldly before turning and starting back toward the house.

"Heeeyyy," Cameron says, following after him with an odd tiptoed hop, trying to keep as much bare skin off the concrete as possible. "A'ight. Come on, come on," he says, throwing an arm around Casper's shoulders. "We'll all go in. Get some drinks. Maybe play some truth, shot, or strip," he says, then quickly amends, "And no one can ask you about your mystery lady then, 'cause that's just between the cabin, right?" He glances over his shoulder for confirmation.

"Right!" Wilde confirms, definitely too loudly for someone who has no idea what he's agreeing about.
