▶ THE VENUE ◀ Welcome to Insomnia 2.0! While renovations are still ongoing and things are likely to change and improve over the next several weeks, the bar is now open for business on this very auspicious day. The bar is being opened in conjunction with one of it's owners birthdays; Tony Stark. So for that reason, the bar will be free for the duration of the party! So please come, enjoy and have a fantastic time! -------- What you will see when you arrive at the bar will be twinkling lights. All signs of construction have been cleared away. Outside there are three long tables and chairs, two of which will be covered by a white table cloth and a variety of food and drink. Fairy lights hang from the walls and roof, scattered about like little stars. As the sun goes down more lights will brighten the area giving the outside of the bar an almost magical feel. Inside the bar it has also been cleaned up. There are more lights, hanging and lining the walls, but there is also music and a space lined up for dancing, should anyone wish to enjoy Tony's Earth music. Most tables and chairs have been moved outside, but the rest have been moved toward the walls to give more secluded, private areas while leaving the main room free for people to mingle and dance. While the décor is simple. It is elegant and as the night creeps in the magical feel will only grow. ♫ THE MUSIC ♫ There WILL be karaoke! ▶ THE FOOD ◀ There are two tables set up containing food, these tables are covered with a table cloth and outside. Gladio would like to thank Lup and her team for helping with some of the catering. As well as Ignis, Mina, Ann and Pyra for help with other cooking and the making of the cakes! Finger foods: • Various kinds of sandwiches • Affurgato's signature quiches. • Salad bowls. • Meat and fish skewers with vegetables with interesting and tasty sauces. Desserts: • Various flavours of fruit tart. • Assorted flavours of cookies. (Including white-chocolate macadamia) • Nyalasadas • Croquembouche. • Three Birthday Cakes! Strawberry, Chocolate and Coffee. Drinks: • With thanks to Affurgato: Red, white and rose wine will be available. • There will be ales, cocktails and champagne on offer. • As well as fruit sodas. • The bar will be open so all ale will be free for this night. ▶ DRESS CODE ◀ The dress code for the party is: Fancy. Suit and tie and party dresses are a must. Why? Because when else do you get a chance to dress up and have a good time? If the girls want to wear suits and the guys want to wear dresses, that is within the rules! Colours don't matter. The idea here is to have a good time and to enjoy yourself! ▶ O.O.C ◀ There are going to be a few prompts below should you be interested to join those, but feel free to make your own top levels and enjoy the shenanigans!

[It was either nine, nineteen, or ninety and only two of those worked with alcohol. It might not be wise in a health sense, but if a ninety year old wanted booze, they earned it just by putting up with everyone's crap that long.]

He did. He had some help though from Ann, Pyra, and Aerith. Familiar with those three?

Anyway, this is..

[His face had brightened immediately as Gladio's name was mentioned but as he glanced around, it was noticeable when his gaze fell on the large man- warm, soft, and proud. There was no hiding any of that emotion either, not that he was trying.

It took a second before he remembered what they were talking about.]

Uh, yes, this is a 'fancy party' with a Gladio twist.

[With a little effort his eyes peel off of his partner and back to Kyoko. He chuckled.]

I suggested fireworks and a chocolate fountain, but they were going to tar and feather me if I came in the room again.

[daikonrose]

Ah, a little bit. [ She sorta knew Pyra, and she thought she'd spoken to Aerith before? But those expressions he made when she mentioned Gladio were more interesting than pondering acquaintances, at least for the moment.

Not that Kyoko was going to pester him about it. It wasn't like this was news, right? Seeing him get all soft was just kinda cute. She met his chuckle with a light little giggle of her own. ]

A chocolate fountain would be a pain to clean up, so you can't fault him for not going for it. But it's plenty lively without all that anyway, isn't it?

[runs_on_batteries]

[He grinned at her and winked.]

That's what the wizard is for.

[He pointed with his thumb over to the party's caterer, Lup.]

But we'll forgive him this once.

[He chuckled. He smiled as he glanced around the room. Lively was a good word for it, though if he was doing a comparison it was nothing close to the wild, extravagant parties he once attended regularly.

Whoever would've thought, he'd prefer something like this where every direction he could see friend or a friendly acquaintance's face. Or... Kaiba's. Well, whatever. Even when you look at a cute cat, the thing still shoved it's sphincter in your face.]

Enough about me though, what kind of parties are you used to? Did you have any school dances or events you attended?

[daikonrose]

[ Surely cleaning up chocolate fountains was an insult to Lup's spectacular talents!

And really, Kyoko was sure this was pretty small and tame for someone like Tony. Not that she actually knew what his habits had been at home, but she could guess--rich guys, you know? Certainly, she doubted her own limited experiences could be that interesting to him. It was nice that he asked, though. ]

Hm? School... dances? [ She blinked a couple times, but then-- ]Oh, like in American movies--Um, Japanese schools don't really have that kind of event, for the most part, I think. [ And it's unlikely she would have attended them anyway. ] But I've been to wrap parties, and I've worked at some parties too. I even organized a pretty big one with a friend of mine, once--it wasn't quite like this, but it was fun!
