[ This is so very much not Poe's scene. Themed parties, formal occasions, they're the purview of politicians and socialites, not pilots. He's not particularly dressed for it-- he wasn't sure how to dress for it. Jeans, black t-shirt, brown leather jacket that makes him feel homesick for reasons he hasn't been able yet to pin down.
There's a moment when he walks through the front doors that he considers just turning around and walking back out. Except there's a familiar voice, telling him he's got to try something, and he feels a mix of relief and doom.
