WHAT in person
WHERE everywhere
WHEN Day 79

[ If you're out and about earlier in the day, you'll come across several kiosks around Quiet Mounds that are decked out in pre-party paraphernalia. There's bottles of champagne with fancy thin stemmed glasses. There's party poppers, bags of confetti, party hats, blah blah, you get the drift. It should be noted that some bottles of champagne have unintended results like "must tell the truth" or "compulsively needy for physical affection" or "feeling very warm and also the need to take off all your clothes" or other fun effects. If you share a drink with someone you may feel their feelings (everyone loves empathy) or accidentally take a trip down memory lane together (woo exciting).

There's also some podiums that have fancy paper, or plain notebook paper, or scrolls, whatever and lots of writing utensils. Time to write down your New Year Resolutions! Just beware, that whatever you write you'll have to actually adhere to for like a week. . . have fun if you write down like "stop drinking and run 7 miles a day".

Later, you'll see some gorgeous fireworks that may or may not spell out your darkest secrets but in big, beautiful, sparkly lights for everyone to see. Or they may just be normal fireworks, you know, roulette. ]

[GONNA DRINK ALL THE DRINKS BECAUSE HE DESERVES, OK.]

[coming to flop next to]

[leaveshishaton]

[this time he is going to get a HEAD START ON DRINKING before his instincts to stay sober so he can babysit dazai kick in]

I guess this isn't bad, but why the hell is it all champagne..?

[takehisheadoff]

[ leans over him, though it's more pus his arm on chuuya's head and drops his weight down on him, to grab a bottle for himself ]

[clocked_out]

[Dave is hanging out at Heavenly Grounds trying to keep a beat going with party poppers.

It's not bad.]

[keijournal]

So it's new years already...

[2beautiful2live]

[inspecting a party popper and, startling himself a bit when. it party pops]

Oh...

[cw_suicide]

[oh no. that's cute.

also holding out a glass for Orga.]

Didn't have those back home, either?

[holds up a party blower and honks at Orga because that's what they're for.]

[takehisheadoff]

[ it is very unlikely you'll find dazai before he has had quite a lot to drink and he's commandeered an entire kiosk to sprawl across the counter and drink. ]

[keijournal]

[pauses on his way to not drink or party and double takes]

What happened to your eye?

[coldhand]

[considering most alcohol doesn't work on her, but she does like the taste and ritual of drinking, Bucky doesn't really see much reason to hold back on drinking some champagne for New Year's Eve.

at least not at first]

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[drank]

Happy new year, Bucky!

[supraliminally]

[ there is a very drunk lady sprawled out on a park bench, surrounded by empty champagne glasses. she is wearing a party hat and panties and a bra and that's about it, the rest of her clothes and shoes folded up on the ground next to her. probably she's having a pretty good time, though. she seems to be enjoying the fireworks, anyway. ]

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[also drunk and happy. Uh wow]

Yukari??

[shortcircuits]

[you'll come across this guy sitting near the lake, taking care of a full bottle of champagne by himself and watching the reflections of fireworks on the water]

Hm.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

Waver! [trotting up :D] Happy new year.

[onelastknight]

[ NEARBY, WITH A COFFEE INSTEAD OF CHAMPAGNE ] I'm having trouble telling if this is meant to be one of the holidays with partying or one of the holidays with somber reflection. I've seen both all over.

[selfidentitytheft]

[scooting by with a couple of champagne bottles in a tote bag. he's stolen so much free booze these holidays, the holidays are great]

Oh, hey, nice viewing spot.

[asmashingsuccess]

[ some dumb nerd is also watching fireworks but also muttering to himself ] I still can't get over the fact that it was Halloween like, yesterday.

[selfidentitytheft]

[tapping a pen and just generally stalling over writing a resolution down]

Is this New Year's?

What year are we going into?

[inhibiting]

[ she's sitting with her back against one of the podiums, surrounded by a bunch of crumpled up papers, working on writing a resolution... but isn't this too many failed resolutions already...????? ]

[nakedeye]

[sight-seeing the new kiosks and podiums, he spots Kennedy from around half a block away and debates with himself if he should go up and say hi or pretend not to see her and walk elsewhere, he shouldn't assume she wouldn't mind company, maybe she's busy, she looks like she's concentrating on something . . .]

[punchiest]

You shut up.

[ Ayer jabs his finger at nothing, before sorting through the party items, palming a few pieces of candy as he goes. ]

's not like that.

[starspangledman]

Guess it's that time of year.

[yeah, helping himself to a glass of bubbly while he watches the fireworks, why not]

[coldhand]

Don't suppose there's one of those for me?

[Glancing at his glass. who better to ring in the new year with?]

[nakedeye]

[picked up a pen for himself and just wanders around looking at the kiosks and podiums. oh, a free notebook]

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[chillin' out to watch fireworks over the lake. Floating out little paper origami boats on the lake, then blasting lightning at them as they float away. measuring distance]

[appliedscience]

[walking up next to him with a glass of champagne]

It seems like it has got to be bad luck to blow up symbolic boats.
