Faculty Party, The Danger Shop, Thursday afternoon through evening

Invitations had ~~handwavily~~ gone out to all Fandom High faculty:
Party on a cruise ship in the comfort of our own shop!
Thursday, May 3!
The Danger Shop!
Faculty Party!

When the faculty members stepped into the Danger Shop, they saw that it did indeed look like the deck of a cruise ship on a nice, sunny day. There was a snazzy buffet, shuffleboard, deck chairs, a string quartet, and much, much more.

And an open bar.

Above the door leading out of the shop was a banner:

But enough of that. Now it was time to boogie.

[OOC: Post is open all day, huzzah! NPCs are completely free to mod. And, um, sorry about the egregious punnery inside the OCD. This is pretty bad even for me.

ETA: Also, if there are any terrible typos or other general errors anywhere, I wrote this at 3:00 AM. You're lucky I strung three words together, let alone a series of painful puns.]

Hey, there's a boat here! And over here is a dartboard with a picture of Jamie Madrox on it. The Tick couldn't figure out how that got into the shop programming and couldn't figure out how to remove it.

He didn't think anyone on the faculty would mind, though.

[OOC: *gives a cookie to the little troublemaker* All of the faculty has something in common thanks to you! Annoyance!]

There was a general tropical theme to the food selection. The only difference between this and a typical luau set-up was that the pig was alive, eating the apple, and roasting anyone who came by. That's "roasting" as in "to ridicule or criticize severely or mercilessly."

[OOC: The pig is not a Muppet nor a Looney Tune nor anything else like that. He's just a normal, generic, run-of-the-mill anthropomorphic pig.

Actually, think Babe if Babe learned to speak in human tongues and was voiced by Don Rickles. Adorable but merciless and sounding like an old man!]

Lounge and get served by strapping, shirtless young men ("young" in this case meaning "several years past high school" because otherwise that would be creepy at a school faculty function). Maybe get a tan.

Just stay away from the one chair that's punching anyone who treads near it. It's a deck chair that's not afraid to deck people.

[OOC: And that chair is a normal, generic, run-of-the-mill anthropomorphic chair with a boxing glove on the end of either arm. Feel free to mod it taking a swing. You get a cookie if you let it deck you!]

You could gather here and talk.

Or you can do the obvious Titanic reference.

Come on. Do it.

Do it.

A string quartet that was surprisingly adept at playing both island music and Top 40 hits from all eras and charts was performing.

They will prove to you that you haven't lived until you've heard calypso music performed by a string quartet.

Sing a song! Anything you'd like. The string quartet is amazingly adjustable due to the whole hologram thing.

Dance a dance! The string quartet can also perform club music that is easy to dance to.

It's over here if anyone knows how to play it and wants to do so, or if you just want to push a big puck thingy with a stick!

Also over here is a dancing 2x4.

[OOC: Play the game or gawk at the shuffling board.]

Holographic NPC bartenders are made of awesome. Just watch out, there is in fact a bar (as in a metal thing on the wall behind the counter) that is terribly open about its feelings and may try to talk to you.

[OOC: Bartenders and the emotionally open bar are free to be modded at will.]

OOC threads: Preventing the end of the world since 2005.

Also, I warned you aboutn the egregious punning.

*facepalms*

Logan escorted Thursday into the Danger Shop, breathing deep of the warm, salty air. He glanced at her, smiling. "Well, looks like we made it."

"Made it here despite these strappy shoes I'm wearing or made it through the year?" she asked with a tinge of amusement in her voice. Both were certainly applicable.

Emma gave the dartboard a happy look. The radio had informed her that Jamie hadn't been absorbed. Emma had been most disappointed. She went looking for darts.

"Both, I think," he said easily, nodding. "Despite trolls and exams and random acts of de-aging, we're here and we're in one piece."

Emma approved of strapping, shirtless young men, and also of lounging. So she was lounging on a deck chair and for once looked like her outfit fitted her surroundings.

Thursday thought about the year that had passed. "More or less," she agreed. "You forgot the most important part of that 'despite' list." She gestured with a nod of her head towards the dart board.

Logan smirked as he caught her gesture. "How that kid survived the year, I'll never know," he said, amused.

"I actually meant the lot of them, but from the rumours, I've often contemplated the same thing. Still, here we all are. I think a trip to the bar is in order."

"That," he said, offering his arm with a grin. "Is an excellent idea. Shall we?"

The Doctor was there, with his notebook, writing, surprise, notes.

She took his arm. "Lead the way."

"I wonder if the cocktails are holographic as well."

Fraser arrived, looking carefully around for the 'maple sugar brother' before catching sight of the dartboard and laughing.

Fraser took a seat in one of the deck chairs and probably looked decidedly uncomfortable lounging in one of the chairs still in complete uniform.

The dork.
