The Crosby Bar

info.

♠ Takes place at the end of week 4 of the levitate (january 2026) event. Everyone is invited! Although there's at least one bouncer to toss you out on your head if you start a fight, feel free to do it anyway.
♠ If you want to do anything super crazy or destructive inside that's a big deal that's going to interrupt others (like a huge multi involved bar fight or trying to set the place on fire while drunk etc.) just hit me up in this toplevel to see if it's ok or not. So long as many people are ok with it and want to have fun, I don't mind selective (or total if everyone down) chaos happening!!
♠ The party is specifically in the restaurant/bar, but you're welcome to wander out into the hotel proper. You can see info on the hotel proper here. Note that only the Gallery/Drawing Room is disguised at this time outside of the restaurant and bar to look like it did pre-apocalypse. This room will have the fire going (real fire) and people are free to get a quiet break from the party. ALSO THERE IS PROBABLY A GIANT HOLE IN THE WALL TO SEE STILL, THANKS SLEEP.
♠ Aventurine is not enforcing any rules about drinking for those under 20 unless they're getting like really sick or something. All the other adults are welcome to put the law down if they like, though!
♠ To the left is a list of characters and their roles to give you an idea of what might be happening around you or who you might be able to address in your top levels/etc. I'm going to keep updating it as more characters in the network post tell Aventurine how they want to help at the party, but I also have a comment you can just oocly let me know about, too. If these people make top levels related to what they are assigned to do, I'll link that prompt on the list, too.
♠ If I forgot anything, feel free to use the questions top-level.
♠ Bring your own top levels, although Zi will be making some game specific ones for fun.

The hotel restaurant and bar for this log is currently made up of a true illusion and a light refraction illusion. Anything you can touch is solid and what you see follows with what you feel as well as the laws of physics. Aventurine has used his light refraction illusion ability mostly for tricks on the eyes to sort of make things look that much more realistic and whatnot without the illusionist having to deal with on top of the crafting the illusion itself. Basically he's doing most of the special effects, detailing, and lighting.

About the Illusion:


♠ If you like, you can get a party outfit of your choice when you enter the illusion like Cinderella! Feel free to go have fun with extra special clothes if you like, too.

♠ There is both real food and alcohol/drink and then illusion food and drink/alcohol. For you to be able to enjoy the illusion food and drink/alcohol, your character needs to be willing to accept the illusion. Since characters already know it's an illusion, if they reject it on principle it won't work for them. Some of the real food is altered to taste different (aka better) than what it actually does. So if your character rejects the illusion intentionally, it will taste like it does normally. Feel free to play around with this if you want your character to fall out of the illusion and suffer a bit and then convince themselves to get back into it, whatever's most fun for you.

Worth Noting for Illusion Setting


♠ Worth noting: most of the restaurant has been cleared out for a dance floor and stage area for people performing. Ivan will most likely be hanging out on stage regardless if he's performing since he's planning to stay around the piano. Aventurine has made sure there's plenty of room. The lights are dimmed.

♠ You can make up your own decorations, the only things that you need to be completely aware of is that are two pinatas: The Big one is made to look like Sleep, and the smaller one is made to look like One. Sleep Pinata is for everyone (you guys can break it as many times as you want, assume it goes back together after you get illusion candies;) mini One is for Toki, please cheer him on (if Toki wants to share his One pinata, go for it.) One's pinata only drops sugar-free candy. Sleep drops candy and little trinkets (they're illusions so you can't take them with you, but...)

♠ Also worth noting: There is a table set up with a name card that says EEPY. Aventurine will shoo you away if you try to mess with it, but you are free to leave gifts for Espera (like the little accessories and trinkets you got from the pinata.) There are three roses there already tied with a ribbon on the table already: a white, a pink, and a red rose.

FINALLY, SPECIFIC STUFF TO DO

I'll add to this (with links, too), but this is mostly noting that there is a Karaoke Machine set for singing during intervals from those wanting to do live music. Sharon is charge of the karaoke machine, be nice to her or she can take it away from you. Maybe you guys can have a drunk singing competition etc.

Dolphin has various games going on in top levels. Zi will provide the rules and stuff in those.

In my world, at least, but it's still nonsense!

[She sets her cup down and rummages around in her pockets. After a moment, she pulls out a novelty unicorn-shaped eraser, a handful of paper clips, and...the mummified crumb of some kind of snack, and sets them on the floor in front of her.] Imagine these as resources, right? And I'm some lucky idiot who found them all and I'm about to invent money.

[She points to Till's drink.] Say I want that. I offer to trade a bunch of my paper clips, because I have a load of them, so they aren't as valuable to me as the single eraser and the single crumb. And you don't have any paper clips, so you don't know any better about their potential worth. So I convince you to trade me the only drink you have for some of my paper clips. And then you want something that someone else has, so you convince them of the paper clip trade, because you can't believe you've made a bad trade, or you would be screwed.

Now, somehow, everyone gets convinced that paper clips are valuable and great for trading. So we decide that everything else should be traded for paper clips. And I, the original lucky idiot who convinced people they were valuable because they were basically worthless to me, can trade for pretty much anything I want because I have so many paper clips.

That's money! The people who had the stuff they wanted to make into money convinced people the stuff was worth something, and now since everyone believes that, it is worth something, even though the only use of most money is just trading it for other things. The actual object that is now the money could be entirely useless.

Nonsense.



[It is absolutely impossible to tell if this ridiculous explanation is the result of inebriation or not.]

[untilldeath]

[That was so many words.

He just stares at her for a moment.]

So you work for it, but still hate it, huh.

[longwillows]

[A pained groan and a melodramatic slump accompany her answer.] Yes, ugh. It's always people with loads of money who are doing vile things to others!

[untilldeath]

That's capitalism, I guess. It sounds exactly like the kind of shit back home.

[Only... with the Segyein.]

Urak is always trying to extort or rake in money from someone, even though he's already grossly wealthy. I think it's just never enough for some bastards.
