102 Percent: Omega Spire PAR-TAY (Backdated to the weekend, after defeating the Baron)

INVITE TO THE PARTY:
[A. Audio and Visual on Omeganet. Text "Event" posting on Rumblr.]

"OH YEAHH guys and gals! We've kicked Dino butt, we've kicked Slade butt, and now, the Omega Spire is open and I'm ready to party like it's 2099! We got all the free pizza you can eat, and I installed a soda fountain with 42 varieties of flavor! We've got the dance floor, we've got the tunes, AND (for those of you who don't like to dance) we've got a Smash Cousins tournament on a 20-foot Ultra HD screen! (I call dibs on Burro Kong.) Oh, and bring a swim suit if you want, because the pool here is kickin'!

All the teen heroes better be here, ya hear me? And bring a friend. Doors open at 5pm.

Oh, and ya villains can stay at home."

((Note: Word gets around, so there's no reason non-supers couldn't hear about this party and crash it. As long as they don't cause trouble, Cyborg isn't throwing anyone out of the party for not being super enough.))

AT THE PARTY (ACTION):
((NOTE: These are not all threads with Cyborg. The assumption is that if you post at one of these locations, someone else at the party will reply. Also, feel free to request other spots.))

[B. On the ferry or train over to Venture Island.]
The Omega Spire is on an island, so most people are getting there one of two ways. Omegafriends can use the underground train, which drops off at depot in the Spire's basement. Anyone can take the ferry, which heads out to the island every hour on the hour. Both provide opportunities to befriend fellow party goers before actually getting in the door.

[C. Buffet]
In the main dining area, a big buffet table and some picnic tables have been set up. The buffet has lots and lots of pizza of different varieties, as well as chips, fruit, meatballs, punch, cookies, and other yummy foods. There is also a soda fountain with practically ever flavor you could want.

[D. Dance Floor]
A huge dance floor has been set up, big enough to accommodate a few hundred people at a time. Cyborg's wired up lasers and strobe lights, and a top-of the line audio system that is playing music a bit too loud. The DJ will play different types of music, from slow-dances to more upbeat stuff, and takes requests. (There is also a row of chairs to the side of the dance floor, for the wallflowers.)

[E. Rec Room - Videogames, ping pong, etc.]

The main attraction in the Rec Room right now is the HUGE monitor that has been set up for a Smash Cousins tournament. Since that game only supports four players a time, there are other games set up for those who don't want to wait: old arcade boxes, ping pong tables, pool tables, and there's even a chess set in the corner, and another table by a cabinet full of different board games and card games.

[F. Pool Area]
On the roof of the Spire is an enormous swimming pool, about the size and shape of two Olympic-sized pools put together to form a big "T". The water temperature is computer-monitored to hover around 89 degrees Fahrenheit, and the area is well-lit after the sun goes down by lampposts and underwater lights. The area also boasts two hot tubs - each capable of seating ten people - and two large clean changing rooms (one for each gender) with lockers and showers.

[G. Quiet Room.]
A lot of the Spire has been locked-up as off-limits tonight, for security reasons. Only the main party rooms are open for the most part, but Cyborg has set up one small open lounge to escape the noise of the party. The room is insulated and mostly sound-proof, has some nice comfy couches, and an espresso machine. This is a good place to take a break, have conversations that don't require yelling over loud music, etc.

[H. The Coat Closet.]
Near the entrance, there is a large walk-in closet for people to stow stuff they don't want to carry around all night. Unfortunately, the door lock is a bit wonky, and sometimes it just won't open from the inside (Cyborg is working on that.) But as long as no one shuts the door while someone is inside, there shouldn't be a problem, right?

"What? Like getting whipped cream in your eye is any better?" Ben asked.

[personal profile] stalksindarkness 2014-07-08 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"It won't sting and you can just lick it off." He says, making a point to lick his chops.
omnitrixter: (Aw man...)

[personal profile] omnitrixter 2014-07-08 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"...You mean lick your own eyeball?" Ben asked, grimacing at the idea.

[personal profile] stalksindarkness 2014-07-08 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh?" He looks at Ben in disbelief, wrinkling his nose.

"No. Like--" He wasn't really good at explaining his own habits apparently.

He brought up his paw and licked it, then rubbed it against his face. Grooming!
omnitrixter: (Big Grin)

[personal profile] omnitrixter 2014-07-09 12:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I mean, you are a big cat, right?"

Oh boy. Awkward.

"So...uh...ever seen Sumo Slammers?"

[personal profile] stalksindarkness 2014-07-10 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Meow." He says this with a bit of a smirk tugging at his lips. Being coy, but now that he started grooming, he wasn't about to stop.

"Sumo what now?" As he lifts his head to look at Ben. Huh?

omnitrixter: (Don't you look dapper?)

"Sumo Slammers. It's a totally awesome cartoon that's been on since I was a kid," Ben explained. "Don't tell me you've never heard of it."

[personal profile] stalksindarkness 2014-07-11 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't think so. Maybe in a commercial or something?" As unfamiliar as he was, he still knew he's heard the name at least once.
omnitrixter: (Shock)

[personal profile] omnitrixter 2014-07-11 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Man, have you been living in a cave or something?" Ben asked, shocked that Shadow didn't know anything about Sumo Slammers.

[personal profile] stalksindarkness 2014-07-12 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
"I just never watched any TV growing up." There really wasn't much in broadcast where he was from anyway.

"An then once I was a cat it's just harder to stay awake until they made it easier to start where you left off." Just like Netfilms.
omnitrixter: (Smile)

[personal profile] omnitrixter 2014-07-16 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I've got the whole series on DVD. I'll have to bring it by sometime. Not sure if Netfilms has it online yet," Ben offered. "Assuming people let me back, of course."

[personal profile] stalksindarkness 2014-07-19 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and he probably wouldn't have the concentration to binge watch like other people do either.

"You'd let me borrow it?" Or watch only when he was around? Eeh, either way it would work.

"I'm thinking about asking if I can stay here instead of where I live now, so maybe that can work? I'm gonna guess Cyborg won't mind."
omnitrixter: (Confused)

[personal profile] omnitrixter 2014-07-20 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure. Why not?" Ben asked, tilting his head curiously to one side.

Shadow was a superhero, after all. If you couldn't trust a superhero not to steal your stuff, who could you?

"Sounds good to me. Plus it looks like these guys have a killer setup."

[personal profile] stalksindarkness 2014-07-24 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair point, but the real potential problem was what might happen in the journey from the dvd case to the dvd player.

"I'm digging the surround sound and the giant TV. But who's going to complain about that?" His lips curl into a broad cat chesire grin.

"Oh, Hey. Cyborg. Mind getting a smaller tv?"
omnitrixter: (I've got a great idea!)

[personal profile] omnitrixter 2014-07-27 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Ben's sense of foresight was a bit lacking. He likely wouldn't realize the problem until after he got the DVDs back.

"Old people?" Ben suggested with a smirk. He mimicked shaking a cane as he forced his voice to crack. "Darn you kids and your loud music and big screen TVs and interwebs!"

[personal profile] stalksindarkness 2014-07-27 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hah. Yeah. That's about it." Mind you, Shadow has really only spent a lot of time with his own grandfather. He was a little grouchy, but that's only because of other people.

"Or just fun killers and super villains. But I saw Slade's TV. It's massive!"
omnitrixter: (Smug)

[personal profile] omnitrixter 2014-07-27 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do as he says, not as he does," Ben said with a grin.
