Stark had announced it the previous day that Stark Tower was open to the public for New Years Eve going on pass midnight to New Years Day. Dressed in one of his many expensive deluxe suits he waited for his party guests to arrive. Everyone from the really wealthy to the poorest of souls came to celebrate. Who could say no to free food and drink? Stark stayed at the middle of the room with his servants and welcomed the people as they came in. Everything was set up in the lounge with sofas put out and a large TV on the wall for people to watch the College sports games that were being played, and eventually the big ball dropping.
"Welcome to Stark Tower," he said to the party guests. "Drinks are on the house."

Aminee arrived in a black limo dressed in a beautiful silver gown made of silk with an open back and high heels. She stepped out of the limo and drove the men wild as she waved to the people there and entered Stark Tower finding Tony Stark himself. Or as other people called him, Iron Man.
"Hello, Mr. Stark."
She knew he was a playboy, and wouldn't mind if he wanted to flirt. She wasn't old enough to drink any of the booze at the bar, but that didn't mean she couldn't have a little fun.
"It's a pleasure to meet you."

The second limo to arrive belong to none other than Norman Osborn, dressed in a black suit and tie as he stepped out of the limo and ignored the cameras and reporters who wanted to interview him. Nobody expected him to show after what happened at Oscorp, but he figured he needed some time to unwind and prepare for the new year. He entered Stark Tower and went over to where Stark was standing.
"Stark."
Was all he said in greeting. He smiled over to Aminee who had made a name for herself as the Pop Idol of Carari Incorporated.
"Starlight. Happy New Year."

Arrival to a new verse deserved a proper gauge of that realm's atmosphere. Whether it be the scorching sands of Colleseum, the sprawling ecumenopolis of Coruscant, or the flowing lava lakes of the Ashen Steppes, it would be foolish of Miranda to become complacent in the safety of her surroundings. Her arrival was a shock, as she knew she wasn't in the Smiling God's domain any longer, but the material realm. Everything felt real again and that's where the main danger lies.
What a coincidence it was that a certain Stark Industries unveiled its massive new years party around the time of her arrival. Surely she wasn't the only outsider to this world, but something else scratched at her mind as odd when she saw the man in the town's newspaper. How could she not come to this lovely gathering?
She arrived in her normal attire, not that she really had time to acquire anything new, yet, consisting of her black greatcoat lined with ruby-like scales that reflected the light most beautifully. Unfortunately, she'd opted for her fatigue pants and leather boots as opposed to something more fitting to a celebration; it would have to do.
Miranda would not venture alone. The AI armor assistant, HKI- 87, took control of her armor and animated it, allowing to to interact with the world around it. She was a wonderful companion over the years, there was no reason why she couldn't let it loose and enjoy herself for once.
"Observation: Gathering scanned. No threat source within the immediate area, Frost.", it reported.
Miranda patted the breastplate of the armor. "Relax a little. We are not in the Steppes anymore. Have some fun."
Frost could feel the suit's light blue ocular sensor's trained on her. "Calculation: The likeliness of aggression in this area is particularly low. Would you like me to increase the odds?"
"Not what I meant, bud.", She sighed, brushing the pale strands of hair from her eyes. "I mean go talk with people. Partake in some games. Watch the holonet, etc. Where are not here to fight."
The AI's ocular sensors flickered as it processed the commands. "Acknowledgment: Very well. I will begin surveillance on the populace. Force will be used only by your command, Frost."
Miranda merely waved dismissively at the machine, taking her place in the crowd as the host arrived.
"Welcome to Stark Tower. Drinks are on the house."
Being quite the popular man, many seemed to attempt conversation with him. Miranda was curious herself on the familiarity he posed to her, but would decide on the bar until such a time was offered, or unless she found something else to tie her time up with.
"Barkeep, I require a whiskey. Make it neat, darlin'"

Ayen couldn't resist a fun party on New Years Eve. Agreeing to meet his best friend Naomi there he flew to Stark Tower and landed at the entrance ignoring the stares from the people who knew him from Naomi's article on mutants where he agreed to be interview for the Kansas City Star. He was wearing his trademark camouflage hoodie, shirt, and blue jeans with black shoes as he entered the area and saw Tony Stark conversing with Aminee Starlight and Norman Osborn. He quickly got out his cellphone and took a picture of the three as it wasn't everyday they were standing in the same room together.
He then went over to the bar and sat down by a lady who looked new to this place.
"Pepsi please."
This was his last day to enjoy soda before he went cold turkey as an attempt to lose weight. His New Year Resolution included losing weight, not cursing anymore, and working on his career as a YouTube video game critic known as "The Sega Brat." While he was waiting for his drink he turned to the woman next to him.
"Hello."

She was a lovely woman, looked Japanese, with short hair and a red black satin dress with a slip up the left side. "Ah, a bit under-dressed for this get together?" The voice wasn't hers, it was a rich baritone with hints of an accent. English was a second language but one that fit like a well worn glove. The woman leaned back revealing a face showing some lines of age but, more prominently, several scars on his cheek and mouth. "This is Sukiyaki, I think her sister Teri is around." The man's physique put the likes of Stark and Osborn to shame, his suit looking almost as expensive as theirs. He gave a kind laugh that sounded a bit louder than he probably meant it to.
"Orosaki, nice to meet you." He didn't give his last name as he raised a hand from the woman's shoulders, it was calloused and large, offering it to Ayen.

Post by Val Templar on Jan 3, 2020 1:23:14 GMT
Val Templar wasn't one for these sort of get-togethers, but election time was approaching and he could use the P.R. Accompanied by his assistant Sarah, Val entered the entrance of Stark Tower and came in the main room where he saw the man himself. Val thought Tony Stark was a highly arrogant man declaring himself a hero in special armor, but his opinion would've proven unpopular with voters so he kept it to himself. Forcing a smile on his face he approached the billionaire with the next billionaire, Norman Osborn, and greeted the three celebrities in the middle of the room.
"Good evening to the three of you. This is a lovely home you have here, Mr. Stark."

Sarah was in a lime green long sleeved dress with a long skirt and silver high heels. She kept a smile on her face as she looked at everyone who already arrived at Stark Tower. From rich to poor. She only smiled at the three celebrities in the room and stayed quiet for now. She had nothing to really say, so it was better to just keep her mouth shut until somebody took the time to speak to her personally. It was what she was best at. Silence was a virtue after all.

Naomi finally arrived to meet up with Ayen in a red evening gown with black high heels on her feet. She picked Ayen out in the crowd way too starstruck to go say hello to Tony Stark and the other famous people at the gathering, and instead went over to where Ayen was sitting and patted him on the back.
"Hey there, tiger. What were your work shirts in the wash?" she teased. Ordering herself some vodka and scotch to mix up in a good old fashion suicide. Caution be damned.

Alex entered Stark Tower for the New Year's party in a blue silk dress and silver slippers. She didn't recognize anyone at the party until she picked out Naomi over at the bar and decided to go greet her new acquaintance. Better to stick with somebody you knew than a band of strangers.
"Hey, Naomi. Fancy meeting you here."

Kara Kent arrived in her signature glasses and a pink dress as she smiled at everyone at the gathering and walked up to the bar which was beginning to form a small crowd of its own.
"Hi," she greeted the people there before sitting down on a stool and ordering herself a drink. Because of what she was she couldn't get drunk, so she could drink as much booze as she wanted and never fear of becoming intoxicated, but she did have to play pretend if she drank too much.

The first one to introduce herself to him was none other than the beautiful, and young, Pop Idol Aminee Starlight. He gave a sincere smile to the pretty brunette and offered her a non-alcoholic beverage.
"Starlight. You look even more gorgeous in person."
The second to come up was Norman Osborn himself, who was facing a pretty big investigation after some sketchy things were happening at Oscorp. Stark had done some sketchy things in the past, but he was removed from that life now. He didn't trust the man, but they had to play their parts.
"Didn't think you would make it with all going on at Oscorp, but it's nice to see you."
Then it was the Mayor of Kansas City himself, who he liked even less.
"Mayor, Sarah, please make yourself at home. Just don't throw up on the furniture."

"Well, then." Orosaki gave a knowing, almost conspiratorial smile to Ayen at the arrival of Kara, Alexis and Naomi. "If I knew the casual look was so appealing to such beautiful ladies, I'd have saved my suit for another occasion." He turned to the bartender, his scars rippling as he grinned. "A Manhattan, please. I'm covering this man's coke as well."
He turned to look to the newcomers, still smiling warmly. "Can I get you anything?" He was addressing all of them, that deep voice of his like a cello chord.

Ayen looked up at the Asian male who came up to the bar and raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with the way I dress?"
Ayen then looked over to see his best friend come in looking beautiful and he truly did feel under dressed for the occasion.
"I didn't think the common folk needed to dress up for this."
Ayen noticed the other two ladies as well. The first one seemed to know who Naomi was while the other one was just being nice.
"Hello."
He didn't know what else to say to the blond. He was always the shy one around the girls he liked.

Alex chuckled at Orosaki's comment. She pondered on what she wanted, but didn't want to lead anyone on if they thought something more could happen tonight. As she wasn't the least bit interested in men.
"I'll take some wine. It feels like a wine kind of evening."
She went to sit down in a spare stool wondering if Naomi would stick around the bar long enough to chat. It was good to have someone around you knew at a party. It gave you someone to talk to.
