Pool party

[myownbestfriend]

Emma, being Emma and having nothing better to do with her time, won Cap, Tony, and Thor at the singles auction, with an assist from Deadpool being so awful that Tony was willing to pay for himself rather than be forced by an honor-bound Norse god to hang around with Deadpool for an unspecified length of time. You'd've done the same thing in Tony's position.

Anyway, since she's making a strong effort not to be entirely horrid SEE SHE'S A GOOD GUY NOW, she's letting the boys off light and just having a pool party because it involves men not wearing shirts, and at some point someone will probably push Cap into the water and that will be funny.

Two questions:

1. When can I schedule this so that it won't step on anyone's toes? I was leaning toward the 16th/17th, since it's a weekend and that'll give the new characters from this app round something to dive into see what I did there.

2. What, IC, would get your characters to attend? I know there are some characters who would just sit in their bunkers with their guns and their tinfoil hats for anything short of being dragged places by drones, but what about the relatively sane sorts who'd be on the fence about it? ("Free booze" is already on the list.)

Maybe a fiscal incentive, similar to the speed dating event? Apparently the answer is always MAKE TONY PAY FOR IT.

[bondedgryphon]

An open invitation would be good enough to catch Harley Quinn's interest. If this here girl is accepted, then she'll likely be hiding somewhere with a tinfoil hat unless she's dragged there. :D

Oh, and those dates are perfectly fine!

[myownbestfriend]

IT'S A GOOD ANSWER

1. Oh god I really want in on this event but...the 17th I might not be around as much and I know the 18th I'll be gone all day. If you started the 16th it would be lovely >_>

2. An open invite would work fine for both of my characters but I could see monetary incentive working for some of the people more on the fence or who might be more apathetic :|a Or activity. A contest with a prize? Promise of more spectacle might might some people curious?

[myownbestfriend]

Oh Harley. How does it feel to be outclassed by Emma in every possible respect? >:3

[myownbestfriend]

Someone would probably have to suggest door prizes/whatnot to Emma, since those aren't the kind of parties she's used to. She expects to either pay a few thousand a plate for a fundraiser, or for any mention of ~transactions~ to be gauche.

[doesthemath]

Mm, yeah, Wanda wouldn't be the sort to suggest it and Cathy is of the opinion that a party is enough of a draw on its own, but if you needed someone to suggest things like door prizes or a contest or anything I could have Cathy pipe up?

[myownbestfriend]

Tony may actually be enough of a self-promoter to suggest it. I should grab Mir and put together a sufficiently hilarious joint post inviting people to the party.

"I'm cooking!"

"Hush, Tony, we want people to come."

[doesthemath]

LOL

That would be fantastic.

[hesmypuddin]

Wow. Rude.

[thundering]

That might be a bit iffy for me, as I'll be in New York those days. But I suppose if I can convince Tomato to let me out of a cage I can be online for a bit!

Also the door prizes actually sounds like a really cool idea - they can be anything from actual gifts to 'SPEND FIFTEEN MINUTES IN A SMALL INCLOSED SPACE WITH A SHIRTLESS CAPTAIN AMERICA' depending on how horrible we want to be.

Though Thor can't volunteer that idea either, considering he wouldn't get why people wouldn't want to come to a party. Also because he's royalty and people generally just showed up to where he was anyway.

[myownbestfriend]

Is Cap going to know that's one of the door prizes?

Emma doesn't get why people wouldn't come to a party either. And she was the White Queen, which is like being crappy royalty from one of those weird surviving Grand Duchies in Europe, except no pants.

[filou]

for the sciencey reclusive types, there could always be 'afterwards there will be a dull boring meeting for scientists to share their findings and brainstorm?'

[shootingshields]

Oh please comrade like we'll be complete strangers to the internet while you're here.

[myownbestfriend]

BYOC

(Bring your own calculator.)

[thundering]

Probably not. No one tells him anything.

Is advertising royalty as being there a successful motivator? Because if Tony's gonna be doing the promotion he'd probably go through all of the cheep shots that he can.

[thundering]

It could happen.

[ms_pepperpotts]

Sounds good to me! /plugs then into her calendar. Pepper will be there and so she and Emma can finally meet!

(oh dear meeting someone who banged an alternate of your love interest in a bathing suit, oh all the awkward)

[dimidiate]

Emma should announce the pool party via video post while wearing a bikini.

[myownbestfriend]

Royalty from three universes assuming Balder shows and you believe ultThor is really Thor! Fawn if that's your thing, or push them into the pool! Vive la révolution!

[thundering]

A once in a lifetime experience! also cheap wow this is why no one lets me type early in the morning GAMES OF CHICKEN ALL DAY LONG

[justamobster]

Sadly, getting Ladon near a pool of any sort would probably have to involve death threats or a leash. ... Probably both.

[myownbestfriend]

Banged repeatedly, over a period of years. 8Db

[myownbestfriend]

...She's not above that. /sob

Not that a bikini is that much more revealing than what she wears into battle.

[myownbestfriend]

Didn't know you were into that sort of thing, Mr. Ceto.
