I. Rock Around The Clock Being that this party is for the opening of a music store, it makes sense that the main feature of the night is a dance floor! Music from throughout the 1950s will be playing, both in the store itself as well as the large loft above that has been converted into a miniature sockhop for everyone in attendence. Records and streamers hang from the ceilings and there is a lot of black, white, and pink to be seen. There's also a small stage in one corner set up for anyone brave enough to pick up one of the guitars that usually adorn the shop downstairs, as well as several microphone stands that are hooked up to a karaoke machine. Come in and dance the night away! Anyone wearing era-appropriate attire will random prizes. II. All Shook Up Being that this is a Magnus party, there is a wide range of cocktails to sample being made at the open bar. Most of them are were what was popular at the time—Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, the classic Gin & Tonic—but requests for specialty drinks are being taken as well. There are also, in true 50s style, milkshakes that are creamy enough to tempt even those who would usually try to resist. But there's a twist: they're alcoholic. None will be served to minors, but it's totally possible that the adults won't realized their delicious treats are spiked until after they've had their second (or third) glass. Also, though the upper loft is well-lit for dancing, the first-floor store has plenty of dark corners for making bad decisions. So grab your honey, grab a drink, and enjoy the night together. III. Tutti Frutti Half of the upper loft is dedicated to refreshments as well as boasting furniture looks like it was ripped from a diner—you guessed it, chrome with red vinyl upholstery. A table along one wall is ladden with miniature versions of popular diner food—cheeseburgers, hot dogs, even tuna melts—as well as french fries and plenty of other finger food. And, because this is the 1950s, there's jello. Lots of jello. So much jello that it's insane, how can anyone love jello this much? Luckily, if you don't go ape over gelatine-based desserts, there are also record-shaped cookies and non-alcoholic milkshakes for the kiddies. Seeing as this is a small town with families, and thus minors, there are plenty of drink options for those who aren't yet old enough to drink or who prefer not to. IV. La Bamba No invite is necessary, IC or OOC, for anyone who'd like to jump in and join the party! It's safe to assume that flyers have been up around town to announce the time and place. Hopefully, with enough people in attendance throughout the night, there's plenty of chances to make friends (or maybe enemies). Feel free to choose your own adventure, and don't worry about boundaries—if it doesn't break the game, it won't break this party post! But be aware that your hosts, one of whom is a warlock and the other a demon hunter, won't stand for any altercations inside the store. Instead, maybe take it outside if the mood or your ex-girlfriend strike you. If you'd like to assume that you're helping run the party—bartending, music playing, etc—go nuts and have fun!

Deciding that boozy milkshakes did not count as a proper meal, Alec wandered over to the refreshment table, pausing when he noticed the tower of Jell-O. That was weird, even on the 'I live with a warlock who magics things into existence and has a thing for everything being sparkly' scale. Unsure if he should be fascinated or horrified, Alec was about to pick up a spoon and try some of the weird, white fluff and Jell-O when he noticed the cat sauntering across the table.

Quirking an eyebrow, he forgot about the tower of questionable dessert to reach out a hand to the kitten. "How'd you get in here?"

[corenundrum]

He loves it when people do that. It's very polite. Obligingly, he sniffs the hand then peers up and mews a pitched mew. He answers but unless Alec is dead or magical, he won't hear it.

"I walked in."

He turns his head to the tower of Jell-O. Never has there been a more tempting target for a cat.

Assuming that his hand was deemed satisfactory, he brushed his fingertips over the top of the kitten's head, waiting for a reaction before starting serious scritching. Noticing the cat's interest in the dessert, Alec used his other hand to shift it a safe distance away. "Unless that has tuna in it - " By the Angel, why would someone do that? "that is not for cats."
