LOG;

ENTRANCE | LOBBY
The entrance hall is sleek, white, pristine and sparkling. The decoration here bright and festive - it's difficult to miss the large pine tree in the entryway, and one of the security personnel will be taking your coats with a bow and smile (perhaps even without a bow and smile, doesn't everyone like the brooding and mysterious type?).

BALLROOM
Up a few flights of stairs or up an equally clean and white elevator is the ballroom, brightly lit and seemingly impossible with its darkened ceiling, twinkling with stars and the gentle fall of snow that disappears as it descends. Long, tasteful garlands of holly and festive greenery sparkle with a frost that isn't cold but melts at the touch. For light, candles float just high enough to be out of reach. Enjoy the panoramic view - the room's surrounded with glass windows. Take a seat and enjoy the music and dancing. Rock and roll and classic piano pieces. Jingle Bell Rock is strictly prohibited.

REFRESHMENTS | BAR
A little off to the side is a fully stocked bar and refreshment area, where waitresses and waiters carry glass trays of various drinks and appetizers. Enjoy a glass of champagne or plate of tiny finger sandwiches. Oddly, there are also donuts. Glazed.

VIP ACCESS
Only those who have purchased the superfly tricked-out cool people package are allowed in this quieter, exclusive bar.

POWDER ROOM
Even people in fancy dresses and expensive suits need to take a break, personal or otherwise. Down the hallway and to the right, you'll find the rest rooms. Don't worry, JARVIS won't be watching.

PLAZA
For those who wish to enjoy the crisp winter night air, the ballroom leads right out to the plaza. No, the palm trees may not be the most traditional, but the layers of decorative snow and pinpricks of light hidden in the large leaves are romantic enough, certainly. A glorious view of the City skyline, the night sky, and at the end of the night, the bright fireworks display.

FIREWORKS
At midnight, enjoy the bright shower of color and light as the Weasley twins orchestrate the final show, spelling words and manipulating trajectories in a way normal snap-crackle-pop fireworks cannot. Whether inside in the ballroom or outside on the plaza, it's impossible to miss. Santa Clause has been forbidden to make an appearance.

OTHER
Various hallways, the staircase, the elevators, and any other location are open for attendants to explore. Workshops and laboratories have been closed off for the event, but an empty room or three may have been forgotten for those who'd like a more private setting. JARVIS has his eye on you.

OOC
Feel free to be completely imaginative in setup, setting, surroundings, furniture, decoration, refreshments served, types of drinks served, music played, and anything else you can think of. Dance, be merry, and don't worry about the specifics. Put up an empty comment or a description of where your character will be and links to what he/she will be wearing or option C (the all-encompassing miscellaneous option). Action or prose is also up to you and your preferences ♥

[Tim ponders that, tugging at the bow tie a little and then raking his hand through his hair. It's only about half slicked back now.] Nah. 'Long as I don't got to do it very often.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

I would not ask that of you. Though I do think it suits you quite well, truly.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

You sayin' I look hot? [There's an eyebrow waggle in there.[

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

[ Thinking on that for a moment, before smiling. ] I suspect that is the correct term for it.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[That makes him chuckle.] Doesn't count if you don't say it. [He just wants to hear her say hot in the modern context.]

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

[ Throwing him a sidewards glance. She's on to you, Tim, but she'll play along. ] You look quite hot.

[ The word sits a little awkwardly on her tongue, but still she smiles. ]

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[That gets a laugh out of him.] Thanks. [And he winks at her.] So do you.

[Get ready for this, Tessa. He puts a hand to the curve of her neck, bare in her dress and pulls her close before he leans down to kiss her.]

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

[ Tessa was just beginning to thank him, but the hand on her neck shuts her up, even before the kiss can.

Perhaps she should have expected that this would happen, she wonders idly, returning the kiss with just the barest hint of pressure. This is Tim, after all, and he's kissed her before. And it is a ball. ]

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[She really shouldn't be surprised at this point. He doesn't let it drag on too long. Not that he's above making out in public. He grins when he pulls back, leaving his hand on her shoulder.]

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

[ And for that, she is thankful. Regardless of the fact that she does not mind Tim kissing her, not at all, the thought of doing so in public is rather embarassing and foreign. Such a thing is Not Done.

But still, it leaves her smiling. ]

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[And honestly he wouldn't think twice about kissing her in public for that reason. He knows things are different in her time. He just forgets it.]

Ought to get you somethin' to eat with your wine.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

I did not have that much to drink. [ She considers, for a moment. ] But something to eat would most likely not be a bad idea, regardless.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

They got donuts over there 'long with a lot of other stuff.

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

Let us go, then. [ And for once, she'll be the one to hold her hand out to him. ]
