End of the World Party

4 Days Until the Horde

Everyone in the Quad is deep in preparations for the massive horde coming from Danforth when word goes out from Whitney Field Depot: you're all invited to the Lobby tonight for one last(??) big shindig before we all die(??)!

At 7 PM, the theater troupe presents a one-hour episode of Supernatural, which any true fans will soon realize is Tegan's AO3 fanfic and not an actual episode. Brothers Sam and Dean Winchester (Evening O'Leary and Bo Bloodgood) team up with the angel Castiel (Odyssey) to investigate a series of ritualistic murders meant to kickstart the apocalypse. After Sam is captured by Lucifer (Blythe Ferry), Dean and Castiel must work alone together and discover that the murders are the work of John Winchester (Edgar de Leon), now evil and resurrected by demons. Featuring: Sexual tension! Casual blasphemy! Daddy issues!

From there, everyone's invited to return to the Lobby to drink, relax, make new friends and plan for the horde if you absolutely must do that.

Guidelines

⚾ Tonight's Theme: The apocalypse!! Again!!!

⚾ Hot Weapons: Firearms, ammo and explosives must be checked in at the gate and will be returned to you when you leave. Cold weapons (blades, bludgeons, crossbows) are fine to take inside.

⚾ Drinks: One free drink per hour, whether that's mystery punch (moonshine, water and whatever mixture of powdered drink flavors they have on hand, which today is blue-green in color) or non-alcoholic punch. Water is available any time. Other drinks are on the menu but must be traded for.

⚾ Cannabis: No free samples tonight, but it's in stock at the trading post.

⚾ Overnight: Four (4) beds are open in the guest quarters in the sublevel, going to whoever claims them first, and the rest can camp in the outfield. There are enough sleeping bags to accommodate everyone, but only six (6) small tents. Up to you where your character ends up tonight!

Locations

ARRIVALS

Check in if your character attending! Are they in a partying mood or here against their will? Dressed like it's 1999 or just wearing whatever they had on hand? How do they feel about the approaching horde?

THE LOBBY

The bar serves alcohol and water, and a few other options if you've got merit or items to trade. The trading post is open if you need to stock up on essentials. A table is set up with snacks, including a big charcuterie board with bread, cheese, dried fruit and meats, and honey.

THE REC ROOM

Formerly the gift shop, now stocked with books and board games, and tables and chairs. There's also a pool table and a foosball table!

THE OUTFIELD

Step outside for some fresh air or a bit of quiet. The community garden is a nice place for a walk.

✨ THEATER

The stage is a cobbled together collection of wooden pallets in the parking lot, plus portable stairs that seem very rickety whenever an actor jumps on it. What did you think of the show?

MONARCH OF THE APOCALYPSE

If the one drink per hour limit isn't doing for you, you're invited to join the drinking contest. Whoever's still standing at the end gets 3 merits and a tiara!

END OF THE NIGHT

Last call is at 2 AM. Are you headed back to your community, or staying overnight at Whitney?

ARRIVALS

[orator]

ARRIVALS: Zelda

[autoclaves]

Zelda arrived with her dad, because it's an Edgar de Leon party and because she recently learned that her father is going on a date with Blythe and she's very curious about who this guy is. She's also so happy she has an excuse to wear a cute but seasonally-inappropriate dress because so rarely is her vacation wardrobe ever actually practical. But, for once, it's almost practical. A win!

She's cheerful and plans to have a good time because she is not trying to think about impending doom and will almost certainly embarrass herself after she gets drunk to try and win herself a tiara.

Re: ARRIVALS: Zelda

[trustmeimadoctor]

he's going to try not to hover too much! go have fun!!!

ARRIVALS: Zelda

[orator]

Having quit the drinking contest early, Edgar has the improbably good sense to grab some water bottles and pass them out. (These bottles aren't sealed natural spring water, unfortunately, but water's water, and we can't be too worried about plastic leaching with a zombie virus going around.)

"On the house," he says, holding a water out to Zelda.

ARRIVALS: Mud

[left5dead]

Mud rolls up with Petra on his heels. Doesn't realize there's a party, just came for booze and followed the sounds of people inside. He's wearing a bathrobe and sweatpants and there's gum in his hair.

ARRIVALS: Blythe

[soliloquacious]

Blythe is where he's meant to be: on the STAGE. Even if the role Tegan has presented him with is quite literally terrifying for a boy who grew up in a church afraid of being turned to salt for thinking about beards. He doesn't change out of his costume when he gets off stage, though, which means he's rocking a real bad boy leather jacket and slicked hair for the rest of the party, and every time he notices this he gets extremely self-conscious. Oh no, these don't go with his soft sweaters and pastels vibe!!

The horde has him kind of very wigged out, BUT if everyone else around him and in a position of authority thinks it's best to ignore the danger then... denial it is!!! Whoo!! How's everyone doing???

ARRIVALS: Niko

[trustmeimadoctor]

Niko arrived with Zelda! As per usual, he is not drinking (you never know when you might have to do emergency doctor/responder stuff!) so is available if anyone wants a DD back to Prescott at the end of the night (can't guarantee his driving won't make you barf, though).

He traded for a Lundegaard flannel shirt and some jeans, so he finally has a third outfit (the cool leather jacket stays, though).

The horde is freaking him out, so this just makes him feel like he has to be more cheerful! Keep up that morale!! Everything's fine!!!

ARRIVALS: Arlo

[halligan]

Arlo's only DAY SHIFT first-in-command for the time being, which means he gets to party. And that's great because he's kind of hanging on by a thread here; he probably seems like a guy trying to distract himself from the inevitable and failing miserably. Which is fine!!!

He's not wearing anything special, it's just a worn flannel and worn snapback and worn whatever, and it's only been a couple days since his first strike from Nat so he's still sporting a black eye. His split lip and little miscellaneous cuts and bruises are beginning to heal up, hooray!

He promises not to get into another fight in The Lobby.

ARRIVALS: Mara Kaufman

[afairtrade]

Mara is, seemingly, not very concerned about the giant horde of zombies inbound towards her at all. She is in an upbeat mood (by Mara standards) and starts doing shots nearly immediately.

Her outfit is Y2K inspired tonight, featuring a matching set of a racerback crop top and bell bottom pants both in a pastel blue shade of iridescent lame fabric. Her eyeshadow matches her outfit, and her hair has been straightened and crimped in places. There are bits of multicolored tinsel in her hair which stick up like cowlicks since she couldn't crimp them.

ARRIVALS: Evening

[malarkeys]

After the show, Evening goes from Sam (Winchester, tall boy of the Supernatural show, in her own flannel, jeans and someone's Carhartt) to Slutty Sam (same look but jacket's over her shoulder, black skirt, big boots.) She keeps the wig on for irony's sake, but loses it somewhere around her fourth drink. Please feel free to find that mop of hair. She's here to spy on some dads, make dumb mistakes, and put away all the forgotten props in their correct places while extremely wasted. One cannot be unorganized even at the end of the world.

ARRIVALS: Calliope

[spoofed]

Calliope arrives with whoever else is coming from the Container Fort. While she's her normal lurky self, she did prepare for the occasion: she painted an old sweatshirt (and got a [1] [20]!) so that the front has
🌎🔚
😨🎉and the back has
🐺🌛
⚾🍻

ARRIVALS: Edgar

[orator]

Edgar is wearing an old Carhartt jacket and some cornstarch in his hair and beard to give himself a salt-and-pepper older man look, and doesn't bother to change after stepping off the stage. Is he freaked out by the horde? Unbelievably. Is he showing that at all? No, darling, he's an actor.

He honestly feels out of his depth with all the plans and preparations, so instead he's doing what he does best: throwing a big stupid party to raise everyone's spirits!!!! He gets a little drunker than he should, and is flitting around all over the place trying to make sure that people are having a good time.

ARRIVALS: Dutch

[deadhunter]

Dutch, perhaps emboldened by Mud's presence, also brought her dog: a huge, mostly-black German Shepherd named Uzi. While he looks intimidating he is actually an incredibly sweet and goofy dog who highlights Dutch's natural anxious cheetah energy.

She's in her typical get-up of black jeans and a black leather jacket and has done her eyeliner and nailpolish fresh for the occasion.

ARRIVALS: John

[lineman]

John was at the Depot on trading business and then went to talk to Nat at the Lobby.

Before he knows it, he finds himself in the middle of a very bad Lana Del Rey song (Did You Know There's a Party at Whitney Depot, When the Horde Was Coming We Kept Partying, or (How Can I Party When) I Learned How to Make Conversation From the Movies). He is not dressed to impress, just in his ordinary, dark-colored clothing, including a Carhartt jacket. He's mortified to find he is dressed like the characters in Supernatural and never quite recovers his already-frail mojo after that.

ARRIVALS: Lola

[swordwife]

Lola is wearing an enormous Fair Isle sweater over leggings. The sweater is genuinely gargantuan, gives her sweater paws, and smells strongly of chamomile oil, all of which Lola is oblivious to. She just wants to be comfy.

She moves about the party with forced cheer, preferring to stay near Billie, although she really enjoys Supernatural and doesn't seem to realize it's not a faithful reproduction of the actual show. "They were super in love, huh?" she'll remark about Destiel after the show is over. "That's great."

ARRIVALS: Jem Carmichael

[paramedicals]

Jem's here, but he's more overseeing the situation than he is partying. He's not super happy this is going on, but knows better than to try to stop people from partying. At least they're getting it out of their systems?

He takes it upon himself to make sure everyone is getting home safely, a job he is not very well suited for since he cannot drive at the moment. But he does match several people up with designated drivers or usher them into guest rooms/tents instead of letting them drive home.

ARRIVALS: Roswell

[homesteading]

Roswell puts in an appearance due to FOMO and possibly also has three to four drinks due to FOMO but he spends most of his time at the Depot sitting quietly at the bar not bothering anybody else.

ARRIVALS: Beck

[blissout]

Beck's unveiling his personal Whitney Field Wildlife uniform at this party, which is a fox kigurumi paired with a trucker cap and his usual bomber jacket.

The vibes could be more pristine, to be honest. His face is default frowny as he thinks about all the preparations he needs to do on the farm tomorrow morning. But we're here to have fun! This is so fun. Aren't we just having fun?

ARRIVALS: Carter

[fixeddown]

Carter arrives with Beau after a pretty long day of checking out the horde and accompanying her to Prescott. She's especially unchill today, and hasn't let Beau be more than like 500 feet from her all day, and even that's a stretch. So she doesn't follow her around the party or anything, but she's not really socializing. She sits at the bar, sipping a mocktail, reading whatever book she's most recently found about How to Build Bombs in all black funeral clothes to at least be on theme.

ARRIVALS: Arwen

[veryrealnurse]

Arwen is... fine, at least on the outside. She doesn't appear any more or less bothered than usual, and spends most of the night making sure no one hurts themselves and tending to any small wounds that aren't handled by someone else. She does, however, partake of a single drink during the evening, an oddity for her. But it's all fine.

She's wearing a flowy skirt and a cable knit sweater that's been patched at the elbows with mismatched fabric, all in very drab colors.

ARRIVALS: Beau

[fixedup]

Beau loves a party but is feeling Overwhelmed right now by her insistence on splitting up the horde and destroying it. She's never shied from danger, but it's another thing entirely to corral the rest of the communities into such a risky plan. She and Carter left early this morning to get eyes on the horde, and yeah, okay, ten thousand zombies is nothing to laugh at.

She's dressed the same as always, practical and tomboyish. Maybe less motor oil stains than usual, because she was at Prescott today getting some training in, and she wanted (sort of, kind of) to look impressive. After tossing Carter her car keys, Beau goes straight to the bar to get her head clear.

ARRIVALS: Henry

[barrow]

Henry just got the bandages off his hand, which makes life so much fuckin' easier, even with the dull pain of all his still-healing cuts. Everyone's doing their damnedest to make sure Lundegaard gets through this in one piece, but he's chosen to pretend that they're all going to die. All of them. Weirdly, this makes him really cheerful tonight.

ARRIVALS: Nat

[malting]

Nat is of course present and accounted for, her and the distillery team/bartenders went all out stocking the alcohol for this one! She also doesn't seem particularly bothered by the coming hoard, and is as openly friendly and social as she always is, though she's not drinking much tonight. She's never actually seen Supernatural and honestly just assumed the play was about Twilight because it seemed horny and her supernatural tv education starts and ends with Buffy.

She hasn't dressed up much. Still in jeans, still in her leather jacket, though this time she's in a crop top and the sides of her hair are slicked back slightly so her curls half resemble a faux hawk. At one point she misplaces her jacket (which is a small crisis for her).

ARRIVALS: Billie

[bedchem]

Billie put in the bare minimum of effort into looking presentable for this party (a loose ponytail, blue sweater and jeans) because she is in a Mood (a nat [1]). The party is happening where she lives though and if it's really going to be the last chance for her to party before a zombie horde wrecks everything, then she's not passing it up even though she is not in a partying mood at all. She does try to at least not let her rain clouds get in the way of anyone's good time and hangs back in a corner smoking most of the time.

At some point, she leaves and changes her outfit entirely and is notably a little bit cheerier in her denim vest and giant sunglasses.

ARRIVALS: Court

[castnet]

Court shows up in her usual denim on denim, but is wearing this shirt in an attempt to get in the spirit of the party. She really isn't, as she's in a weird mood over the horde and how it doesn't seem like they have a cohesive plan, yet here they are partying when they could probably be planning BUT WHAT DOES SHE KNOW.

Has a couple of drinks, but instead of becoming bubblier as she hoped, Court becomes oddly pensive and spends most of her time at the bar deep in thought.
