Second Floor Common Room, Monday After Classes

[not_a_moonie]

There were two reasons for the party being organized in the second floor common room tonight. The official one was that Sparkle and Alana were both campaigning for seats on the Student Council and needed to get their names out there.

The less official one was that Minako's fifth floor party the week before had been amazing, and the hosts wanted to prove other floors could host something just about as awesome.

Other than the VOTE FOR ALANA and VOTE FOR SPARKLE posters taped to the walls, the set-up was standard for a dorm party. They'd filled a table with pizza and snacks (including, at Sparkle's insistence, homemade sparkler-topped cupcakes), and Alana had set up her tablet to play a mix of trancey pop music. The electronica battled for ear space with an intentionally campy sci-fi movie playing on the TV.

Everyone in the student body had gotten an emailed invitation, so now it was just a matter of seeing who would show up.

Come! Chat! Admire the posters!

A party sounded like exactly the sort of distraction Raven needed. She even took the time to find a new cute little party dress to mimick for the occasion.

It was nice to put the effort into looking sweet and pretty, after spending the weekend going for big and powerful. And, you know, trying not to die.

"Hi, thanks for coming," Alana said when she wandered over aspart of her attempt to at least say hello to everyone. "That dress is adorable. I like the bubbles."

"Oh, look at you." Sparkle looked thrilled. People coming to the party and dressing up for it? Nice! "Super cute, I approve."

He could appreciate the gesture and the dress. That was adorable.

As though Celia wouldn't come out to support her roommate, no matter her own condition at the moment. It helped that she'd gone back to sleep immediately after her class this morning, and had eaten her way through nearly everything she'd had stashed away in her own common room, so she was at least awake, if not especially bubbly at the moment.

She'd managed to dress herself, though it took longer than usual, in a proper dress (http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c3/53/08/c3530896cd6a8e0e98afb88bc65957fa.jpg) with a bustle, relishing the opportunity to dress like herself again. After a weekend of running around in trousers, half-covered in blood, it felt like home, in the strangest and most welcome of ways.

"I like your dress," Raven greeted. "The color's gorgeous."

She was maybe a little biased towards blue.

Re: Arrive & Mingle

"Thanks for coming," Alana said quietly. "I wasn't sure if you were going to need to hide in the room a while longer or what."

Not that she knew much about what Celia had been through, but it wasn't exactly hard to tell it had been more than your average weekend getaway.

"How are you feeling?"

Gwen got the invite, and since she knew the people throwing it, she thought she'd show up. Apparently they took their Student Council seriously here.

Also, Tony Stark had apparently totally sent her to a party school.

Was that a party? Yes it was. So was there a Johnny? Of course, don't be silly.

The posters were very useful for him because they reminded him that he needed to find out if he might accidentally sway any junior representative races with his complete inability to not flirt (or more than flirt). He didn't want people to fight over him during a debate or anything. Or did he?

Strike that, he wanted his affections to be a political issue, he just decided.

[OOC: Slow play during work and then after work too. But still, PARTY!]

Ichabod hadn't been aware that he was supposed to vote for the Student Council. He didn't know Sparkle, but of course hewas here to support his 'big sister' Alana. He had even put on some nicer clothes for the occasion.

Edward hadn't even known there was any sort of election - whatever that meant in a place such as this - let alone that anyone was interested in vying for his vote.

And he hadn't received the invitation due to his inability to figure out most basic functions on the internet just yet, but that hardly mattered - it was hard to miss the noise. "So are we celebrating Mondays now?" he said, grinning.

"What are we voting on, again?" Mara asked, frowning at the sign..

Voting wasn't really a thing where she was from, these days....

Vider had taken a moment to verify that she was in the same class as at least one of the people throwing this event before she just sauntered in. (If she hadn't been, she would have been in and gone with one of the pizzas before anyone noticed, just in case nonvoters weren't allowed.)

She hadn't dressed up or anything, but she'd brought a six pack of honey soda, because the regular soft drinks on offer in this reality were still weird.

This was Kathy's second entrance. The first time she'd shown up, Sparkle had taken one look at her dress, groaned, and then marched her back to her room, threatening to set that dress on fire if he ever saw it again.

He hadn't had anything nicer to say when he'd seen the rest of the clothes in her closet, but he'd finally, grudgingly, found something else for her to wear that didn't offend his delicate sensibilities.

Kathy was giving considerable thought to voting for someone else now. Some of the things he'd said were downright rude. But she was allowed back to the party now and, so long as Barry wasn't lying about her paycheck, had a date to go clothing shopping with Sparkle at his job sometime.

Lucky her.

Sparkle modded with permission, of course!

Of course Karina had shown up! If only to mock Sparkle's attempts at being better than Minako at throwing parties.

(And, okay, because she'd wanted a distraction from class. Shut your face.)

She was glad she'd poked her head in on the way up, because that had given her the heads up that changing into a cute dress (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/indie-darling-dress-in-coral) was the way to go for this party.

This was probably a bad idea. Eleanor was still -- shell-shocked, really, from all of the events of the weekend. But she was here, because Sparkle and Alana were both nice and she was going to vote for them. If she could vote for them. She had no idea who was even in her own class.

At any rate, she was here, and wondering if she ought to talk to the people who had gone down to Rapture with her, or, possibly, if they would rather she kept her distance. She was going to linger near the doorway and then find an out-of-the-way place to sit down.

Sparkle and Alana were totally a pair of copycat cheaters or something, but Minako didn't care because there were CUPCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!

Eat & Drink

[not_a_moonie]

Make sure you take a cupcake. Sparkle is very proud of them.

Re: Eat & Drink

[doesnotkneel]

Edward would swipe something of everything, as a matter of fact. Hello, cupcakes. Strange things that you were.

Movie

[not_a_moonie]

This is bad. Like, aliens-in-gorilla-suits bad. Mock and mod away. There's even popcorn to throw.

Re: Movie

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

Barry wasn't really watching the movie. He'd had enough of watching... well, anything for a few days. But he was sitting on the couch with some food nearby and texting a few people he knew on his smartphone.

Talk to the Candidates

[not_a_moonie]

Get their thoughts on the many serious issues facing Fandom. Or just say hey. Your choice.

Re: Talk to the Candidates

[not_a_moonie]

Alana sat on a table next to a stack of extra campaign fliers, hands folded in her lap as she tried to look responsible and approachable.

She managed it for entire minutes at a time before getting the giggles or wandering off to claim more pizza.

Re: Talk to the Candidates

[myownface]

Sparkle was feeling pretty damn good about his cupcakes, okay? He'd iced them with plain vanilla icing, but decorated them with those rainbow sparkly sprinkles, and each one had a sparkler on it, just waiting to be lit.

Memorable campaign cupcakes, right? Right?

OOC [campaign party]

We are both on work-related SP until tonight, but we will tag as we can!
