Super Bowl Party
Cindy was proud of the festivities she'd set up.

The game was projected onto one wall of the huge atrium the party was taking place in, with plenty of comfy seats facing it. It was only polite, after all.

More important was the food. Tables of chips, veggies, wings (with three different types of dressing), muffelettas (it's a New Orleans occasion this year. Thematic), and chili rolls. Cindy was especially proud of the chili rolls; there was one row marked 'Regular' and one row marked 'Queen' The latter row had a stack of pens and informed-consent waivers in front of it.

There was also a small end table full of party favors for everyone. In celebration of commerce, they were $10 gift cards, each for somewhere she thought fitting for the person the card was marked for.

Cindy likes parties.

	Steven is one of the first ones there, making sure there's nothing he can do to help before collecting a bit of everything. Little enough to be polite, but enough on a plate to affirm that he is, indeed, a Flash. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tess couldn't help one of her rare smiles, seeing how quickly he assembled that plate. She takes her time -- and carefully reads the waiver before taking any Queen chili products, for reasons of Tess. "Nice place they've got here," she mentions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Socializing is good, yes? Is good? Is supposed to be good. Andy is dressed simply, but well. It is unisex, with a darker set of colors, but with a hint of yellow. It seemed appropriate. So...what now? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Saishu is already at the party, coming downstairs in jeans and a t-shirt, following Cindy's suggestion, ending up in neither team's colors. She seems to at least get the general principle. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jay is definitely there for the game, decked out in 49ers colors. Sure, he's from the midwest and all, but with his college, there's a lot of support for San Francisco. He takes the time to grab some chips and dip, then heads straight for a seat to watch the lead up to the game. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	There is a party held by his buddy? One that would be occupied with several of his buddies, his girlfriend, and damn good food that he knows will be even better than normal because of the thing living inside of Cindys...wherever the hell beings made up of abstract concepts live? Hell yes Michael Choi is going. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Her new handler mentioned something about a party, and word travels through the heroic circles. Besides, she's a cheerleader... she's not /completely/ lost on the idea of the Super Bowl. Besides, one of the teams is in purple, which is sort of like her color, so it works out. "Go Birdies! Birds are better than numbers. What kind of team name is that?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Ah, football. She should probably be more interested in this kind of thing, but Dinah never could muster up much affection for it. Baseball, yes. Football, not so much. But a party was a party was a party, and Cindy threw some of the best. Besides, the commercials were always good. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cindy just grinned when Dinah got her party favor. The gift card is to Radio Shack. "I'm sure you can do something that someone will regret with that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Max wasn't a party person on a good day. This..he wondered if there was a circle of Hell that played nothing but football. Still, he was here, no point in complaining about it now. He pointedly avoids Jay and Ruth and anyone else who's visibly going on about football. Eyes on the prize, Sivana. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2013-02-02 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Max! So good to see you. I've got a party favor for you, a little different from the rest." She'll draw him off to the side. "How's your research going these days?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Good to be back on her legs again. Regrowing those had not been a lot of fun, and Heather was more determined than ever to make sure it was not going to happen again. She kinda hoped that creepy friend of Cindy's wouldn't be here. "Always amazes me," she said, "how many friends Cindy has." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jacob didn't have anything against football, but he really wasn't a fan. This was more of a get-together than anything else. He hadn't really announced himself, he hated being the center of attention, so Jacob quietly went over to get himself a Pepsi. (Reply to this)

	Jai showed up, on time, and went to mingle with the other hero kids. First of course was grabbing a drink and some snacks on the way. Speedster metabolism required it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	A chance to watch a bunch of muscular guys in tight pants? Avia was looking forward to it. Even if she got to do that on a regular basis anyway. And one special guy out of his pants. But that was private. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey. How's the hottest woman in show business?" Cindy comes up to Avia and shows her her party favor -- instead of a gift card, Avia's is a gift receipt from an international relief organization. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steven has regular contact with Cindy, so he knows about recent changes. As such, leaving Pippi be for the moment, he approaches Harry instead. Extending a hand, he offers, "Steven Garrick. Got a few moments?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Greetings, peeps," Iris said as she arrived. Late of course. For a speedster, Iris still managed to be late. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	NDA form and notebook in hand, Harry approaches Pippi with whatever her preferred drink at this party is and offered it to her. "Hi Pippi, having a good time?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Oh, thanks Harry!" Predictably, her favorite drinks are easy to find. Locate the sweetest, most saccharine thing - and its perfect. She doesn't drink alcohol, as he's well aware by now, so definitely sticking to the soda offerings. "Yeah, its a nice crowd. I still think Birdies are better than the algebra team though."

	This was... a lot of people. But her father had insisted that she socialize as much as possible, and she agreed. And he had said that Cindy and many of her friends were basically good and trustworthy people, so she was inclined to accept his judgement. Nevertheless, it all seemed very strange to her.

	Lee was a bit more of a baseball fan in terms of sports but he did enjoy watching some football. And the superbowl was always entertaining to watch. (Reply to this)
